A review on the applications of zinc tungstate (ZnWO₄) photocatalyst for wastewater treatment.

ABSTRACT: The monoclinic wolframite-phase structure of ZnWO₄ materials has been frequently synthesised, characterised, and applied in optical fibres, environmental decontamination, electrochemistry, photonics, catalysis, and not limited to magnetic applications. However, the problems of crystal growth conditions and mechanisms, growth, the crystal quality, stability, and the role of synthesis parameters of ZnWO₄ nanoparticles remain a challenge limiting its commercial applications. This review presents recent advances of ZnWO₄ as an advanced multi-functional material for Industrial wastewater treatment. The review also examines the influence of the synthesis parameters on the properties of ZnWO₄ and provides insight into new perspectives on ZnWO₄
