The different pH levels of NiWO4 materials were synthesized by co-precipitation route. The insight unit cell properties were studied by Powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD). The detailed structural analyses were done by Rietveld profile refinement method. The morphology on the surface of the synthesized NiWO4 materials was evaluated by scanning electron microscopic images. The presence of elements in the prepared materials were confirmed by energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) analysis. The photocatalytic activities of prepared materials are performed on methylene blue which is degraded by irradiation of catalyst in 50 minutes under ultra violet light.
