Description
The cobalt tungstate (CoWO4) nanostructures were prepared using the hydrothermal method. Nanostructures were annealed to compare the structural, optical and gas sensing properties of annealed and unannealed CoWO4. The UV-VIS spectroscopy, x-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron micro-scope (SEM) and energy dispersive x-ray spectroscopy (EDS) were used to examine the samples optical, structural, morphological and composition properties respectively. The samples showed different XRD phases, where unannealed was hexagonal and annealed sample was monoclinic in structure. Different SEM morphologies and optical band gaps of nanostructures were observed. The samples were further tested for their gas sensing properties towards oxidizing and reducing gases. Promising gas response was observed towards oxidizing gases.
