Microwave-assisted synthesis of Ag incorporated SrWO4/zeolite composites by a solid-state metathetic route

A solid-state metathetic route assisted by a microwave irradiation was used to synthesize Ag incorporated SrWO4/zeolite composites. The crystallized Ag incorporated SrWO4/zeolite composites were formed at 600 degrees C for 3 h, showing a well immobilized morphology with particle sizes of 3-5 mu m. The synthesized Ag incorporated SrWO4/zeolite composites were characterized by scanning electron microscopy, energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. The optical properties were investigated by photoluminescence emission and Raman spectroscopy.
