Infrared light, especially near-infrared, has a significant thermal effect, which tends to cause temperature rise, which causes an increase in temperature, such as indoors or in a car. Infrared barrier materials generally refer to a class of functional materials that have a strong absorption or reflection of infrared light without affecting the transmission of visible light. 

Acrolein is an important fine chemical intermediate with a wide range of applications in coatings, paper, oil, medicine, and organic synthesis industries.  In recent years, with the increasing demand of animal feed additives such as methionine, glutaraldehyde, pesticides and water treatment agents on the market, and the large excess of bio-glycerol, the rapid development of the acrolein industry has been promoted.

Cobalt-tungsten carbide alloy thermal spray coating is the highest hardness wear resistant coating below 540 °C. Due to its combination of good hardness and toughness, it is widely used in aviation, aerospace, automotive, transportation, metallurgy, electric power, etc. Strengthen the wear resistance of the base metal and repair the worn fatigue parts.

In recent years, with the development of low-voltage electrical industry, various series of new circuit breakers have been introduced. These new circuit breakers require contact materials with smaller volume and higher breaking capacity. At present, the matching of AgWC₁₂C₃ and AgW50 is often used as asymmetrical and reasonable matching contacts of circuit breakers in AgWC-C electrical contact materials, so as to improve the arc resistance and material transfer resistance of AgWC-graphite electrical contact materials, which is the necessary condition for expanding the application range of AgWC-graphite contact materials and meeting the increasingly stringent performance requirements of circuit breakers for contact materials.

Adipic acid is an important organic dibasic acid, which is mainly used in synthetic fibers, namely nylon-66. The annual consumption of adipic acid is very large. At present, the traditional production process of adipic acid synthesis is still widely used in industry, that is, using concentrated HNO₃ as oxidant. This process is very harmful to the environment.

Tungsten trioxide is recognized as an excellent electrochromic material. It has excellent properties in electrochromic, catalytic and gas sensitivity. Tungsten bronze, a composite oxide of tungsten bronze, generally refers to metal oxides with deep metallic luster, and is usually metal conductors or metal semiconductors.

With the increasing consumption of petroleum resources, the new synthetic route of preparing high value-added liquid chemicals and other organic chemicals with natural gas as an alternative energy source has attracted great attention from all over the world. The preparation of syngas by partial oxidation of natural gas is an important intermediate link in the realization of natural gas conversion, and the research and development of efficient catalysts is the key.

In the conventional preparation of phosphotungstic acid, a large amount of ether is used to extract the reaction liquid of phosphotungstic heteropoly acid, and a yellowish transparent oily ether-phosphotungstic heteropoly acid is obtained. The solid product of yellowish phosphotungstic heteropoly acid is obtained by blowing ether with air. Moreover, the ether used in the whole extraction process is difficult to recycle, resulting in waste of resources and environmental pollution.

Tungsten and molybdenum are two non-renewable strategic mineral resources. Because of their unique properties, they are widely used in steel, military, aerospace, electronics, electrical appliances and chemical industries. With the development of social economy, the demand for tungsten and molybdenum is increasing, and the reserves of tungsten and molybdenum resources are decreasing sharply. However, there are a large number of poor, fine and miscellaneous refractory tungsten and molybdenum resources in our country. For refractory tungsten and molybdenum ores, especially for tungsten and molybdenum ores with high oxidation rate, no effective recovery method has been found.

Biomass can be regarded as a promising alternative energy source for petroleum. The key to convert biomass into important energy materials and basic platform compounds is to convert cellulose, an important component of biomass, into glucose by directional hydrolysis.
