General description

Phosphotungstic acid hydrate is a heteropolyacid.

Application

Phosphotungstic acid hydrate may be used as a staining agent for the transmission electron microscope (TEM) imaging of cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) coated gold nanorods.
It may be used in the preparation of:
  • Phosphotungstic acid doped ormosil hybrid networks.
  • Niobia supported phosphotungstic acid (PTA) catalysts.
  • Titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanoparticles /phosphotungstic acid (HPW) films.
