Background:

Cadmium tungstate (CdWO4) has been exclusively documented in its monoclinic, wolframite phase.
Previous research has not explored or reported alternative crystalline structures for CdWO4.

Purpose of the Study:

To synthesize and characterize a novel, metastable phase of cadmium tungstate (CdWO4).
To investigate the stabilization mechanisms and thermal stability of the newly discovered phase.

Main Methods:

Propylene glycol solvothermal synthesis was employed to produce CdWO4 nanopowder.
Characterization involved analyzing the crystalline phase, morphology, and particle size of the synthesized material.

Main Results:

The first synthesis of a metastable, tetragonal (scheelite) phase of CdWO4 nanopowder is reported.
The tetragonal phase is stabilized by high surface area and surface complexation with propylene glycol.
The material exhibits cubic morphology with an average particle size of approximately 50 nm.
The tetragonal phase is stable up to 300°C before converting to the monoclinic wolframite phase between 300°C and 500°C.

Conclusions:

A novel tetragonal scheelite phase of cadmium tungstate (CdWO4) has been successfully synthesized.
The stabilization of this metastable phase is attributed to nanoscale effects and solvent interactions.
The findings expand the known phase diagram of CdWO4 and offer potential for new material applications.
