Hydrothermal preparation and photoluminescence of bundle-like structure of ZnWO(4) nanorods

ZnWO(4) nanorods with a bundle-like structure were synthesized at 180 degrees C for 12 h by a hydrothermal technology from Na(2)WO(4) center dot 2H(2)O and ZnSO(4) center dot 7H(2)O in the presence of sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS). The as-synthesized bundle-like structure of ZnWO(4) nanorods was characterized by various techniques: TEM, XRD and EDS. The luminescence properties of the bundle-like structure of the ZnWO(4) nanorods were investigated by photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy.
