Cesium tungsten bronze is widely used in near-infrared shielding materials due to its excellent absorption performance of infrared and ultraviolet rays, and is used as heat insulation additives for automotive glass, architectural glass, and agricultural greenhouse films.

Tungsten, also known as Wolfram, is a rare metal known for its highest melting point of all elements. In addition to excellent temperature resistance, the material also has strong abrasion resistance and chemical resistance. These good properties make it an ideal material for components that operate at extreme temperatures.

A collimator is a device used to transform the divergent light or other radiation from a point light source into a parallel beam, and also is an absorber device used to limit X-rays, gamma rays, or nuclear particle beams to the size and angular spread required for a specific application. Normally, special measurements in spectroscopy and geometric and physical optics require this kind of light collimation.

Many analytical and medical devices are using thorium tungsten wires as ion source. Why use thorium tungsten materials? What about tungsten or neodymium tungsten materials? 

In recent years, photoelectrochemical (PEC) water splitting has attracted people's attention, and it is considered to have potential applications in solar energy conversion. The effectiveness of solar energy conversion mainly depends on the structure of the photoelectrode. In addition, nanostructured photoelectrodes and surface porosity have additional advantages in in improving the efficiency since they exhibit unique properties of light-harvesting, chemical stability, active surface area, and charge separation.

Cemented carbide is a kind of composite material prepared with tungsten carbide (WC) powder, which is widely used in cutting tools, drilling, and other technical fields due to its high hardness, high wear resistance, high strength and good toughness. In recent years, nano tungsten carbide powder is more required than ever due to the development of nanocrystalline cemented carbide.

Tungsten bronze coatings and films have attracted global attention due to their application in near infrared (NIR) shielding windows. However, they are unstable in strong ultraviolet, damp heat, alkaline and/or oxidizing environment, and it is difficult to coat glass surfaces with complex shapes.

Electrochromic devices such as smart windows have received extensive attention from researchers in related fields in the materials industry. Tungsten trioxide (WO3) is an n-type semiconductor and a promising material due to its high transparency, good coloration efficiency, and low response times. The electrochromic performance of WO3 depends strongly on its particle size, morphology, and structure. However, low electrical conductivity of WO3 can give rise to poor electrochromic performance of the device. 

In recent years, tungsten-molybdenum (W-Mo) alloys have attracted great interest as high-temperature materials for various applications. W-Mo alloy has excellent performance in preventing corrosion of molten zinc, and can be used at higher temperatures than molybdenum or molybdenum alloys. It is used for zinc liquid temperature measuring tube, zinc liquid pump rotor, and some corrosion-resistant parts of zinc smelting furnace. Because of its high melting point, ablation resistance, and flame retardancy to solid particles. tungsten-molybdenum alloy can also be used for the air rudder and protective cover of solid rocket motors. In addition, it is also used in the production of stirring tools in the glass industry, the manufacture of thin film transistors, the sputtering target for flat screen coating and the treatment of molten metal.

Due to global industrial growth and increased emissions of particular gases (such as NO2, H2S or VOC), indoor and outdoor air quality monitoring has become a major issue today. These gases in sufficiently high concentrations bring a negative effect to the environment and human healthy.
