Abstract
$ZnWO_4$ nano-powders were successfully synthesized at low temperature by polymerized complex method using zinc acetate and tungstic acid as starting materials. The polymeric precursors were heat-treated at temperatures from 300 to $600^{\circ}C$ for 3 h. The precursors and heat-treated powders were evaluated for crystallization process, thermal decomposition, surface morphology and crystallite size. Crystallization of the $ZnWO_4$ powders were detected at $400^{\circ}C$ and entirely completed at a temperature of $600^{\circ}C$. The particles heat-treated at $400^{\circ}C$ showed primarily co-mixed morphology with spherical and silk-worm-like forms, while the particles heat-treated at $500^{\circ}C$ showed more homogeneous morphology. The average crystalline sizes were 17.62~24.71 nm showing an ordinary tendency to increase with the temperatures from 400 to $600^{\circ}C$.
