Synthesis of photocatalytic and antibacterial materials for removing medicines from wastewater The Theoretical and Computational Chemistry Laboratory (QTC) of the Jaume I University of Castellón (UJI), in collaboration with the Centre for the Development of Functional Materials (CDMF) of the Universidad Federal de São Carlos (UFSCar), has published an article entitled “Selective Synthesis of α-, β-, and γ-Ag2WO4 Polymorphs: Promising Platforms for Photocatalytic and Antibacterial Materials” in scientific journal Inorganic Chemistry, which showcases new photocatalytic and antibacterial materials to remove medicines from wastewater. The study reveals a procedure, with a simple method at ambient temperature and without using surfactants, that enables the selective synthesis of silver tungstate polymorphs (Ag2WO4), known as α-, β-, and γ; these two benefits make it easier to manufacture these materials on an industrial level. Furthermore, the research discusses the possible photocatalytic and antimicrobial mechanisms of the polymorphs, as well as the processes of formation and growth.
