ABSTRACT
Cubic Y6WO12 nanoparticles are synthesized by a combustion method. The prepared materials are characterised by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FT-IR), UV-visible Spectroscopy and Photoluminescence Spectroscopy. The X-ray diffraction studies show that Y6WO12 crystallize in cubic structure. Nanomaterials have gained technological importance due to their physical and chemical properties arising from their morphology, size and dimension. Nanomaterials have very promising properties due to large ratio of surface area to volume. The properties of nanomaterials can be tuned by controlling the size. Y6WO12 nanoparticles are prepared through combustion technique using the corresponding metal nitrate (oxidizing agent) and suitable fuel. FTIR spectroscopy is widely used to identify the functional groups and vibrational structure of atoms and molecules. The spectrum shows the metal oxygen vibrations of Y-O and W-O.
