In this investigation, nano silver tungstate ceramic powders were prepared through a novel and facile pathway. To find the optimal conditions for the preparation of nanopowders, the effect of some preparation parameters was investigated. The results of this study displayed that the size and morphology of nano silver tungstate were significantly affected by the studied parameters. The as-produced silver tungstate were characterized by FT-IR, FESEM, EDS and XRD. The obtained outcomes illustrated that with the aid of this new procedure can be created spherical silver tungstate nanostructures with good uniformity. Moreover, the photocatalyst activity of as-prepared silver tungstate was examined by removal of the organic pollution under visible light.
