Description

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.
