Copper tungstate (CuWO4) is an inorganic ceramic compound combining copper and tungstate oxides, belonging to the family of transition metal tungstates. It is primarily investigated for photocatalytic and sensing applications, where its semiconductor properties enable degradation of organic pollutants under UV or visible light exposure, and secondarily explored in advanced ceramics for optical and electronic device components. While not yet a mainstream engineering material, CuWO4 represents a promising research avenue in environmental remediation, gas sensing, and photochemical technology where cost-effective alternatives to precious-metal catalysts are sought.
