Hydrothermal synthesis and characterization of Bi2MoO6 and Bi2WO6

The complex oxides, Bi2MoO6 and Bi2WO6, were hydrothermally prepared at 120–180°C for 2–4 days and characterized by powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), IR spectroscopy, transition electron microscopy (TEM), EDAX analysis and electric conductivity measurements.
