China rare earth price is in a stalemate on December 14, 2022 mainly due to weak supply and demand. In the case of small stocks of some rare earth raw materials and supported by production costs, suppliers are generally less willing to cut prices, coupled with low downstream demand, the market is less active.

Tungsten oxide (WO₃) and its derivatives hold various applications in different fields. WO₃ also known as tungsten trioxide or tungstic anhydride, is a chemical compound containing oxygen and the transition metal tungsten. It is obtained as an intermediate in the recovery of tungsten from minerals.

China molybdenum price rose sharply in the middle of December 2022 with the increasing number of favorable factors. The prices of most molybdenum products have hit new highs in the past ten years.

In the last decade, nanostructured transition metal oxides (TMOs) have attracted a lot of attention due to their unique chemical and physical properties. Tungsten oxide (WO3-∂) represents an attractive material for flat panel devices, smart windows, anti-glare mirrors, as well as in the nanotechnology etc. In particular, W₁₈O₄₉ has been explored for many applications, such as gas sensors, photocatalysis, and catalysis of electrochemical processes.
