The synthesize of CuWO4 nano particles by a new morphological control method, characterization of its photocatalytic activity

Optimizing the synergistic effect of CuWO4/CuS hybrid composites for photocatalytic inactivation of pathogenic bacteria

“…The antimicrobial activity of CuWO 4 depends on several factors, including its degree of agglomeration, molecular weight, nutrient composition, host, natural nutrient constituency, solvent, target microorganism, and physicochemical properties, and is inversely affected by pH. 15,39 Besides the limited application study of CuWO 4 on antimicrobial effects, CuWO 4 has been utilized to photodegrade hazardous organic and inorganic pollutants, demonstrating excellent activity towards the degradation of ciprofloxacin, 40 MO, 41 MB, 42 tetracycline antibiotic, 43 and terephthalic acid, 44 among other pollutants. Other applications of CuWO 4 included photocatalytic water reduction for H 2 generation and photoelectrochemical water splitting.…”

Hydrothermal Synthesis of the CuWO4/ZnO Composites with Enhanced Photocatalytic Performance

“…CuWO 4 is an n-type semiconductor with the characteristics of excellent chemical stability and specific redox activity. Its band gap is about 2.2 eV, making it photosensitive to visible light. , Besides, the matched positions of the conduction band (CB) and valence band (VB) of CuWO 4 and ZnO are favorable to electron transfer. Therefore, CuWO 4 is an ideal semiconductor to construct an n–n heterojunction with ZnO.…”
