Bismuth tungstate nano/microstructures: Controllable morphologies, growth mechanism and photocatalytic properties

▶ Different numbers of nucleation centers of bismuth tungstate benefit the formation of the caddice clew-like, nest-like and flower-like hierarchical nano/microstructures. The rich matter source and the low diffusion free path make the preferential growth of bismuth tungstate nanoplates be prevented. Photocatalytic properties have been compared with different morphologies.
