What is Tungsten Suboxide?

Both WO2.9 and WO2.87 are chemical formulas of Tungsten Suboxide.

Tungsten Suboxide (Tungsten Suboxide) is a compound between tungsten dioxide (WO2) and tungsten trioxide (WO3). Its chemical formula can be expressed as WO2.9 or WO2.87.

The name tungsten suboxide refers to the oxidation state of its tungsten atoms between +4 and +5. In tungsten suboxide, the oxidation state of the tungsten atom is about 4.9, so its chemical formula WO2.9 or WO2.87 is obtained. This means that the tungsten atoms in tungsten suboxide have a partially reduced degree of oxidation relative to tungsten trioxide.

Tungsten suboxide has exceptional electron and ion transport properties, and its electronic structure and properties may differ from pure tungsten dioxide and tungsten trioxide. This oxide has shown potential application value in energy storage, electrochemical energy storage, photocatalysis, sensors and other fields. Since tungsten suboxide has an oxidation state between that of tungsten dioxide and tungsten trioxide, it may have special advantages and properties in terms of electron and ion transport.

It should be noted that the specific properties and applications of tungsten suboxide depend on factors such as preparation methods, synthesis conditions, and oxygen flow. Therefore, in specific applications, the properties of tungsten suboxide may vary and need to be researched and evaluated for specific needs.
