Abstract

The infra-red spectra of 19 molybdates and 18 tungstates have been measured from 4000 to 250 cm⁻¹. The identity of the samples was confirmed by X-ray powder diffraction. The spectra are generally sufficiently individual in detail to permit identification of the particular substance. The results are discussed in terms of the site symmetry of the anionic group.

Electrochemical, Photocatalytic and Photoluminescence properties of BaWO<inf>4</inf> and rGO-BaWO<inf>4</inf> nano-composites: A Comparative study
2024, Current Applied Physics
The rGO-BaWO₄ (rGO-BWO) nanocomposites were synthesized by employing the ultrasonic-assisted co-precipitation method. Nanocomposites formed with BWO nanoparticles anchored to layers of reduced graphene oxide through in situ reduction and a homogeneous distribution of BWO nanoparticles were confirmed by SEM images. The rGO-BWO nanocomposite showed improved photocatalytic activity for the visible light degradation of Methylene Blue (MB) dye with a rate constant of 27 × 10⁻³ min⁻¹ compared to pristine BWO. The band gaps for BWO nanoparticles estimated using UV–Vis DRS are of the order of 3.25 eV–4.25 eV, while they were 2.78 eV–3 eV for rGO−BWO nanocomposites. The delocalized surface charges induced by the interactions between the rGO and BWO nanoparticles in the composite material might be responsible for the observed reduction in the band gap. Photoluminescent investigations demonstrate that rGO-BWO nanocomposites have a lower peak intensity compared to pure BWO particles, indicating a reduced recombination rate and better photocatalytic activity. In particular, when used as supercapacitor electrodes, the produced nanocomposites outperform BWO. Because of its larger surface area, the rGO-BWO nanocomposites display two-fold higher outcomes including 586, 571, 406, 375 and 307 F/g compared to BWO 391, 352, 291, 214 and 174 F/g at each current density 1, 2, 3, 5 and 10 A/g and faster charge transfer owing to improved porosity in the surface of rGO-BWO.
Synergic effects of Sn<sup>4+</sup> doping on the nonlinear optical limiting properties of Sn<inf>x</inf>Cd<inf>1-x</inf>MoO<inf>4</inf> nanostructures for optoelectronic applications
2023, Journal of Photochemistry and Photobiology A: Chemistry
There is a rising demand in the development of novel nonlinear optical materials comprised out of transition metal molybdates owing to their fascinating optical and luminescent properties, resulting in wide application in future optoelectronic and optical limiting devices. Herein, we report non linear optical properties of novel tin (Sn⁴⁺⁾ doped Cadmium molybdate (CdMoO₄) nanostructures synthesized via chemical precipitation technique. The X-ray diffraction (XRD) pattern confirms that pristine as well as tin (Sn⁴⁺⁾ doped Cadmium molybdate (CdMoO₄) are highly crystalline with a tetragonal structure. Raman spectroscopy further confirms the structure and phase formation of Sn_xCd_1-xMoO₄ nanostructures. From the UV–Visible absorption spectra, it is observed that the ground state absorption increases in the UV region after the addition of the Sn⁴⁺^, and the bandgap is found to be decreased. The morphology and particle size was analysed using Transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The surface binding energy and oxidation state was analysed by X-ray photo electron spectroscopy. The non-linear optical properties was studied by z scan technique using Q switched pulsed Nd YAG laser. Experimental results suggests, that two photon absorption mechanism is responsible for the observed nonlinearity. It is found that two photon absorption (β) is increased from 2.51 to 955.5×10⁻¹¹ and third order susceptibility (χ⁽³⁾) enhances from 10.36 to 1480×10⁻¹³esu on Sn doping. The optical limiting threshold of pure and Sn_xCd_1-xMoO₄ nanostructures was also studied and found to be in the range of 41.45 to 11.92 J/cm². These results clearly show that Sn_xCd_1-xMoO₄ nanostructures as a potential candidate for photonic, optical limi,ting and optoelectronic devices.
Photoluminescence and magnetic properties of SrMoO<inf>4</inf> phosphors submitted to thermal treatment and electron irradiation
2022, Journal of Magnetism and Magnetic Materials
The present work reports a systematic study on the effects of the synthesis methodology and post-synthesis treatments on the optical and magnetic properties of
phosphors. The powders were prepared through co-precipitation (SMO1) and co-precipitation processed in a microwave-hydrothermal system (SMO2), with some of them submitted to heat treatment and beta particles irradiation. The irradiation and heat treatment affected SMO1 and SMO2 structures differently, but without modifying the scheelite type crystalline phase. The Rietveld refinement, Raman, FTIR data, and the TEM images indicated that the SMO1 samples are more disordered than SMO2, where the MHA treatment promotes higher-ordered materials. Under 280 nm and 359 nm excitation, the PL profile and intensity at room temperature are directly related to the sample order. Magnetization results confirm room temperature ferromagnetism for as-prepared and irradiated SMO1 samples with a magnetic moment of 0.15 and 0.05 emu/g, respectively. The as-prepared SMO2 sample shows diamagnetic behavior, and the SMO2 1.2 Gy sample presents a ferromagnetic response with a saturation magnetic moment of approximately 0.005 emu/g. The ferromagnetic behavior disappears after the heat treatment. Our results highlight the role of the density and distribution of structural defects such as oxygen vacancies in triggering ferromagnetism in
compounds. The findings of this study reveal that the magnetic properties of the
are susceptible to the preparation conditions and post-synthesis treatments. The coalescence of magnetic and optical properties in the
compounds demonstrates that the properties of the samples can be modulated through synthetic methods or external influences, making it a viable candidate for several technological applications, including optoelectronic devices.
Improved photocatalytic activity for degradation of textile dyeing waste water and thiazine dyes using PbWO<inf>4</inf> nanoparticles synthesized by co-precipitation method
2021, Environmental Research

A small hump at 674 cm−1 and 462 cm−1 represents Pb–O–Pb asymmetric bending and of Pb–O stretching respectively [Lee, D.H et al., 1999; Timar, V et al., 2008]. The characteristic sharp peak at 786 cm−1 is linked with the internal γ3 modes that are assigned with anti-symmetry stretch vibration of O–W–O on WO4 tetrahedron [Zhang, G et al., 2006; Frost, R. L et al., 2004; Gadsden, J.A et al., 1975; Clark, G. M et al., 1966]. The W atom on scheelite structure at the cages of the tetrahedral O atom and isolated each other and number of O ions around every Pb ion implies eight.
The coloured dyes released from the textile industrial effluents into water resources cause non-aesthetic pollution and aquatic life toxicity. Thus textile waste water treatment has been studied globally for many years. Photocatalytic properties of lead tungstate (PbWO₄) nanoparticles (NPs) were analyzed for thiazine dyes and textile waste water under ultraviolet light conditions. XRD result showed the tetragonal scheelite structure of PbWO₄ NPs. The crystallinity of the sample was confirmed from the SAED and XRD pattern. The existence of stretch vibration of Pb–O and O–W–O confirmed from FTIR results. EDAX displays optical absorption signals of Pb, W and O, and confirm the formation of PbWO₄. Optical studies reveal that the band gap of the obtained nanoparticles increases with respect to their bulk counterparts that may be attributed to reduction in particle size. TEM images of PbWO₄ powder consists of hexagonal particles and relatively uniform and smooth surface rod shaped prism-like structures. The photocatalytic activity of the prepared nanoparticles was analyzed through the degradation of textile waste water under UV light irradiation. The photocatalytic reaction rate constant was found to be 0.014/min. The small sized PbWO₄ particles can adsorb more OH groups and oxidatively degrade the pollutants in the textile waste water.
Preparation of h-WO<inf>3</inf>/CuWO<inf>4</inf> microsphere and single crystalline CuWO<inf>4</inf> nanoparticles and their electrocatalytic activity
2021, Vacuum
In this work, h-WO₃/CuWO₄ (hexagonal WO₃/CuWO₄) core-shell microsphere and single crystalline CuWO₄ nanoparticles were synthesized by two step process using polyol assisted hydrothermal-hybrid microwave annealing (HMA) process. In the sake of comparison, conventional annealing (CA) process showed CuWO₄/m-WO₃ (CuWO₄/monoclinic WO₃) and CuWO₄/CuO microrods by in-situ annealing of as-prepared particles obtained under pH 3 and 9 respectively. The h-WO₃/CuWO₄ microsphere showed onset potential of 350 mV, and three fold times small and cathodic overpotential (η_c) of 20 mV for current density (j) = −3 mA/cm² compared to CuWO₄/m-WO₃ in hydrogen evolution reaction (1 M H₂SO₄). For oxygen evolution reaction in 0.1 M KOH electrolyte_, single crystalline CuWO₄ showed a small onset potential of 350 mV and anodic overpotential (η_a) of 1.0 V for the j = 10 mA/cm² compared to CA treated CuWO₄.
Role of native and impurity defects in optical absorption and luminescence of Li<inf>2</inf>MoO<inf>4</inf> scintillation crystals
2021, Journal of Alloys and Compounds
The Li₂MoO₄ crystals have been considered as perspective cryogenic scintillation materials to be used in elementary particle physics experiments related to dark matter search and properties of neutrino. Since the crystals may be used as cryogenic scintillators, the native vacancies, uncontrolled impurities and other defects play the key role in worsening of their scintillation characteristics. The paper presents complex experimental and computational studies of the electronic structure and optical properties of Li₂MoO₄ crystals. The studies are aimed to explain peculiarities of the optical (luminescence) properties of Li₂MoO₄ using the electronic structure results obtained for a wide range of point defects and their combinations. For investigations, several samples of Li₂MoO₄ with different defectiveness were grown using Czohralski method and characterized by SEM and ICP-OES technique. Luminescence emission spectra of the samples under X-ray and laser excitations, optical and IR absorption spectra, TSL characteristics of the samples were recorded and analyzed. Ability to incorporate some gases was examined by measuring absorption spectra after one-year storage of the samples at ambient conditions. The electronic structures of several kinds of point defects (natural vacancies, iso- and aliovalent cationic and anionic substitutions, interstitial ions and molecular groups) in Li₂MoO₄ were calculated using the DFT-based plane-wave pseudopotential method. Geometries of lattice relaxations around defects, partial densities of states and energies of defect formation were calculated and analyzed together with experimental results. Performed analysis allowed making several conclusions regarding the origin of spectral components of intrinsic and defect-related luminescence, formation of defect-related bands in the optical and IR absorption spectra, dependence of TSL characteristics on sample defectiveness. It was found that isovalent cationic substitutions on lithium positions are presented in substantial concentrations in the Li₂MoO₄ samples and such defects form shallow traps which can affect scintillation characteristics in cryogenic experiments. Substantial effect of gases inclusions on the optical characteristics of crystals can be related to the peculiarity of the crystal lattice structure - the presence of empty "channels", which can incorporate molecular objects like H₂O, -CH₃ or -OH.
