Abstract

Nano 12-tungtophosphoric acid cesium salt (Cs-TPA) was synthesized under ultrasonic irradiation in nanoscale. The obtained catalyst was characterized by various methods. These analyzes indicate that the chemical structure and crystallinity of nano Cs-TPA remained unchanged while its morphology was found to be different from traditional Cs-TPA which is in irregular shape, becoming spherical with an average particle size of about 50 nm.
