Synthesis and photocatalytic properties of α-ZnWO4 nanocrystals in tungsten zinc borate glasses

Tungsten oxide (WO3)-containing glasses of WO3–ZnO–B2O3 were prepared using a conventional melt quenching method, and α-ZnWO4 nanocrystals were synthesized through the crystallization of glasses. A glass with the composition of 20WO3–50ZnO–30B2O3 showed the bulk crystallization of α-ZnWO4 nanocrysta...
