Tungsten oxide is a transition metal oxide widely studied because of its unique properties. It has been widely used in electrochromic devices, sensors, separation materials and so on. In recent years, great progress has been made in the synthesis of nanoparticles, and the focus of research has shifted to the study of anisotropic nanoparticles.

Building energy consumption generally accounts for more than one third of the total social energy consumption. At the same time, building energy contributes up to 25% of the world's greenhouse gas emissions, and is one of the major greenhouse gas emission reduction households. Glass windows are the main channel for building to exchange light and heat with the outside world, and 50% of building energy consumption is carried out through glass windows. The heat absorption of building exterior walls also aggravates the phenomenon of heat island in urban center.

Nitrogen oxides (NO_x) are known to be harmful to the environment. It is necessary to process gases containing these oxides or gases originating from motor vehicles or fixed engines to convert them into nitrogen. One known treatment is SCR selective reduction.

Tungsten oxide film is a widely studied functional material. It has excellent short-wavelength transmission, and the forbidden band width is easily adjusted by doping. Through ion implantation, ultraviolet photon irradiation, and gas molecule adsorption, its optical and electrical properties will change significantly, so it is displayed on optical glass and flat panel. There are wide application prospects in the fields of photoelectric conversion, electrochromism and photochromism.
