Iron tungstate (FeWO4) is an inorganic ceramic compound combining iron and tungsten oxide phases, belonging to the tungstate mineral family. It is primarily investigated for photocatalytic and optical applications in research settings, particularly for water purification, environmental remediation, and potential photovoltaic devices where its bandgap and crystal structure offer advantages in light absorption and charge separation. Engineers consider this material when designing catalytic systems for degrading pollutants under visible light or when exploring alternatives to more costly or less environmentally compatible photocatalysts in pilot-scale water treatment processes.
