Comparing Thermal and Mechanochemical Decomposition of Ammonium Paratungstate (APT)

APT image

Ammonium paratungstate (APT) is common starting material in the synthesis of tungsten products. Thermal decomposition of ammonium paratungstate (APT) in air leads to production of tungsten trioxide (WO3) which can be used as a catalyst. WO3 is also a common precursor material for manufacture of tungsten metal powder, which has been applied in the fields of lightings, electronics, and high-temperature resistant material.

Impact of Synthesis Conditions on WO3 Powders from Ammonium Paratungstate

SEM image of WO3

Transition element oxides are of great interest for both fundamental science and technological applications due to their multifunctional properties. Tungsten oxides WOx , where 2 ≤ x ≤ 3, are among the most important substances from this large group. Nowadays they are commonly used as photocatalysts, gas sensors, and electrochromic materials. There are also some new applications of WOx for dyesensitized solar cells, optical data storage and field-emission displays. Besides, cation-doped WOx is considered as high-Tc superconductor
