Silver Molybdate and Silver Tungstate Nanocomposites with Enhanced Photoluminescence by Yuri V. B. De Santana, José Ernane Cardoso Gomes, Leandro Matos, Guilherme Henrique Cruvinel, André Perrin, Christiane Perrin, Juan Andrès, José A. Varela, Elson Longo

“…In contrast, the Ag2WO4 obtained in the two syntheses were structurally different: MAH exhibited the well-known tetrameric stable structure α-Ag2WO4, while coprecipitation afforded the metastable β-Ag2WO4 allotrope, coexisting with a weak amount of the α-phase. The optical gap of β-Ag2WO4 (3.3 eV) was evaluated for the first time. …”
