Tungsten Trioxide Uses

Tungsten Trioxide, also known as tungsten oxide (WO 3), has been widely used in many fields such as petrochemical industry, photoelectric information, national defense and military industry because of its special properties such as catalysis, optics and electricity.

Tungsten Trioxide is mainly used as a catalyst in the petrochemical field. When it is used as a catalyst, it not only has high catalytic activity, long service life, but also is environmentally friendly, non-toxic and pollution-free. Basically, there is no need to worry about the extra environmental costs brought by strong acid catalysts, so it is a green and safe chemical. Therefore, Tungsten Trioxide has attracted the attention of the industry, and is widely used in the production of chemical products, such as paints and coatings, petroleum industry catalysts, industrial X-ray screen phosphors, refractory fabrics and tungstates, etc.

In the field of photoelectric information, Tungsten Trioxide has attracted much attention because of its advantages of good visible light responsiveness, environmental protection, non-toxicity, high economic benefit, and stable chemical properties under acidic conditions. For example, Tungsten Trioxide has been used to produce electrochromic windows, which allows users to adjust the color and transmittance of their window glass by changing the applied voltage, and can effectively isolate ultraviolet rays; Tungsten Trioxide can also be used as fuel cell carrier, loading noble metals to form Pt/WO 3/c catalyst, thus greatly improving the corrosion resistance of the catalyst and prolonging the service life of the catalyst.

In the field of national defense and military industry, Tungsten Trioxide, as a sensitive material, has the advantages of simple structure, high shielding and high sensitivity, and has a strong ability to absorb electromagnetic waves, so it is often used as an important invisible material in military concealment.

The use of Tungsten Trioxide is not only reflected in these fields, but also in other fields. For example, the metal fiber radiation suits made in the medical field has the advantages of good shielding effect, good air permeability, washability and so on.
