FE-SEM micrographs of β-Ag2WO4, showing growth and reabsorption of Ag NPs, (a) before, and (b) after electron irradiation for 100 s. The Ag NPs ranged in sizefrom 12 to 16 nm. In (a) non Ag particles are indicated with X, and in (b) dashed line circles are Ag NPs with excessive growth (Scale bar is 200 nm).

Abstract: In the present work, an easy precipitation method without presence of surfactants is applied to the synthesis of the hexagonal phase of metastable β-Ag2WO4 microcrystals at room temperature. In addition, we report for first time the in situ formation, growth, and subsequent reabsorption of Ag nanoparticles on the surface of this metastable phase, which was induced by electron beam irradiation under high vacuum.
