General description

Ammonium metatungstate is a Keggin-type heteropoly compound. It can be prepared by polycondensation of ammonium tungstate solutions. It is widely used as a precursor for preparing tungsten catalysts for hydrocracking and as a fuel cell catalyst.

Application

Ammonium metatungstate can be used as a precursor to synthesize:
  • Carbon-supported tungsten catalyst for hydrogenolysis of cellulose.
  • Reduced tungsten and mixed tungsten oxide catalysts for bifunctional hydroisomerization of n-alkanes.
  • Hybrid 2D/3D tungsten diselenide transistors via chemical vapor deposition method.

By understanding how the environmental composition impacts the optoelectronic properties of transition metal dichalcogenide monolayers, we demonstrate that simple photoluminescence (PL) measurements of tungsten disulfide (WS2) monolayers can differentiate relative humidity environments. In this paper, we examine the PL and
