Zinc tungstate (ZnWO₃) is an inorganic ceramic compound combining zinc and tungstate ions, belonging to the family of metal tungstates used primarily in specialized optical and electronic applications. This material is investigated for scintillation detection, photocatalysis, and luminescent device applications where its tungstate structure enables efficient energy conversion. ZnWO₃ is largely a research-phase material rather than a commodity ceramic, valued in scientific and industrial development for its potential in radiation detection systems and photocatalytic water treatment, though it competes with established alternatives like cadmium tungstate (CdWO₃) and other scintillating crystals in mature applications.
