General description

Ammonium metatungstate is a Keggin-type heteropoly compound. It can be prepared by polycondensation of ammonium tungstate solutions. It is widely used as a precursor for preparing tungsten catalysts for hydrocracking and as a fuel cell catalyst.

Application

Ammonium metatungstate can be used as a precursor to synthesize:
  • Carbon-supported tungsten catalyst for hydrogenolysis of cellulose.
  • Reduced tungsten and mixed tungsten oxide catalysts for bifunctional hydroisomerization of n-alkanes.
  • Hybrid 2D/3D tungsten diselenide transistors via chemical vapor deposition method.

By understanding how the environmental composition impacts the optoelectronic properties of transition metal dichalcogenide monolayers, we demonstrate that simple photoluminescence (PL) measurements of tungsten disulfide (WS2) monolayers can differentiate relative humidity environments. In this paper, we examine the PL and

While a hexagonal WS2 monolayer, grown by chemical vapor deposition, exhibits distinctive patterns in photoluminescence mapping, segmented with alternating S-vacancy (SV) and W-vacancy (WV) domains in a single crystal, the formation mechanism for native alternating defect domains remains unresolved to

Nanophotonic devices manipulating light for high-speed computing are a counterpart of speed-limited electronic circuits. Although plasmonic circuits are a promising platform for subwavelength miniaturization, the logic-operation principle is still limited to mimicking those of photonic waveguides using phase shifts, polarization

WO3-treated fullerene/TiO2 composites (WO3-fullerene/TiO2) were prepared using a sol-gel method. The composite obtained was characterized by BET surface area measurements, X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersive X-ray analysis, transmission electron microscopy, and UV-vis analysis.

The direct growth of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) with narrow chiral distribution remains elusive despite substantial benefits in properties and applications. Nanoparticle catalysts are vital for SWCNT and more generally nanomaterial synthesis, but understanding their effect is limited. Solid catalysts
