In recent years, tungsten trioxide has been employed in the production of electrochromic windows, or smart windows. These windows are electrically switchable glass that change light transmission properties with an applied voltage. This allows the user to tint their windows, changing the amount of heat or light passing through. Tungsten oxide is widely used for many purposes in life. It is frequently used in industry to manufacture tungstates for fireproofing fabrics, for x-ray screen phosphors and in gas sensors. Yellow tungsten oxide is used as a pigment in ceramics and paints due to its rich yellow color.
