The Influence of Calcination Temperature on Metal Tungstate Properties and Photodegradation
calcined at 550°C-650°C exhibited superior degradation of methylene blue, attributed to their optimal balance of reduced charge recombination, increased oxygen vacancies, and improved light absorption. This work demonstrates that the photocatalytic properties of tungstate nanocatalysts can be finely tuned through metal cation selection and controlled calcination.
