Description
Summary:. Herein, we report a simple, economic and low-cost surfactant assisted sonochemical synthesis of ZnWO 4 nanoparticles. The structural and morphological features of nanoparticles were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, UV-visible spectroscopy, photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy and transmission electron microscopy. ZnWO 4 had been proven to be one of the most promising electrodes for energy storage and found that the discharge capacity was of 173mA h g^-1 even after 20 cycles at 0.1C rate. In addition to this, good photocatalytic degradation efficiency (98.6% in 120 minutes) was also achieved through Rhodamine B as a model of pollutant system.
