Abstract
Metal Tungstate an inorganic functional materials has high potential in photoluminescence, microwave devices, optics, magnetism, sensors and catalyst applications. In this work monoclinic Iron Tungstate (IT) is synthesized by Solution Combustion Technique. The iron tungstate is characterized by x-ray diffraction to confirm the crystalline phase, size and strain and dislocation density. The band gap of IT is calculated by Kubelka-Munk function is found to be 2.1 eV. The surface morphology of iron tungstate showed flakes like structure and confirmed elemental composition of Fe,W,O. The electrical conductivity studies is performed at different temperatures which reveals that the material is photoactive.
