Microwave assisted swift synthesis of ZnWO4 nanomaterials: material for enhanced photo-catalytic activity

ZnWO4 nanomaterials having cubic and mixed shaped morphologies were prepared for the first time by utilizing a simple microwave heating route within 250s followed by subsequent annealing for 2h. The synthesized nanomaterials had been utilized as an excellent catalyst material for the catalytic reduction of [K3Fe(CN)6] to [K4Fe(CN)6] in presence of sodium thiosulphate and for the degradation of toxic organic dye molecules from water by UV light irradiation.
