Abstract

Copper tungstate nanoparticles were synthesized by a chemical precipitation reaction in aqueous ambient involving direct addition of copper ion solution to the solution of tungstate reagent. Optimization of the synthesis procedure was carried out using Taguchi robust design as a statistical method. In order to controllable, simple and fast synthesis of copper tungstate nanoparticles, effects of some synthesis conditions such as reagents concentrations (i.e., copper and tungstate ions), flow rate of copper feeding and temperature of the reactor on the particle size of synthesized copper tungstate were investigated by the aid of an orthogonal array. The results of optimization process showed that copper tungstate nanoparticles could be prepared by controlling the effective parameters and at optimum conditions of synthesis procedure, the size of prepared copper tungstate particles was about 56 nm. Chemical composition and microstructure of the prepared copper tungstate nanoparticles were characterized by means of X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, UV–Vis spectrophotometry, FT-IR spectroscopy and Photoluminescence.
