The catalytic system formed by tungstic acid and its complexes with H2O2 and phenylphosphonic acid has been analyzed from the experimental and theoretical points of view. Previous structural studies by XRD proved the validity of the DFT proposed models and methodology. Hydrogen peroxide reacts with tungstic acid to form a peroxo complex. Vibrational and electronic spectra showed significant changes upon interaction with H2O2. The DFT and TD-DFT for IR and UV-vis calculations not only are in agreement with experimental data but also allow for a deeper characterization of the species formed in in situ conditions. A SCRF/PCM methodology was chosen to account for the solvent effect. The solvent effect of water was considered for geometry re-optimization of the structure and for the TD-DFT calculations.

Bifunctional electrode materials that can convert solar energy into electricity and store chemical energy are a functional strategy for resolving the instability of solar energy. However, most commonly used transition metal oxide semiconductor materials lack broadband wavelength absorption responses, resulting in incomplete solar energy utilization. Herein, multielement-doped MoWO·0.

This study introduces a one-pot, submerged photosynthesis of crystallites (SPsC) method for fabricating monohydrate tungstic acid (WO·HO) nanoplates directly integrated onto a stainless steel mesh, offering a simplified production and enhanced device stability for optical functional applications. The fabricated devices demonstrate exceptional broadband light absorption across the ultraviolet (UV), visible (Vis), and near-infrared (NIR) ranges. Notably, 1% Cu doping significantly boosts the NIR absorption, yielding a high solar utilization efficiency of 81.

Cesium doped WO (Cs-WO) photocatalyst with high and stable oxidation activity was successfully synthesized by a one-step hydrothermal method using CsCO as the doped metal ion source and tungstic acid (HWO) as the tungsten source. A series of analytical characterization tools and oxygen precipitation activity tests were used to compare the effects of different additions of CsCO on the crystal structure and microscopic morphologies. The UV-visible diffuse reflectance spectra (DRS) of Cs-doped material exhibited a significant red shift in the absorption edge with new shoulders appearing at 440-520 nm.

An acidic tungstate-based zwitterionic organosilica drived simple self-condensation of tungstic acid and zwitterionic organosilane (PMO-IL-WO), was remarkably demonstrated to be highly efficient and environmentally friendly catalyst for directly selective synthesis of benzimidazoles from benzyl alcohols under atmpshpheric air pressure and without any additional oxidant. The one-pot synthesis of benzimidazoles from benzyl alcohols and 1,2-phenylenediamine was efficiently achieved via direct dehydrogenative reaction using a low amount of recoverable PMO-IL-WO nanocatalyst in water under ambient conditions with a conversion efficiency of more than 90%. Enhancements in yield and selectivity of benzimidazole formation were observed when water was utilized as the solvent.
