Tungsten trioxide is an insulator.
Tungsten trioxide (WO3) is not a typical electrolyte material. Tungsten trioxide is an insulator under normal conditions, and its crystal structure does not have a direct ion conduction path. However, under certain conditions, such as high temperature and high humidity environment or after proper doping treatment, tungsten trioxide can exhibit a certain degree of ionic conductivity. The electrolyte properties in this case are mainly related to the following factors:
High temperature and high humidity environment
In a high temperature and high humidity environment, water vapor can react with tungsten trioxide to form protons (H^+) or oxygen ions (O^2-), leading to ion transport and exhibiting electrolyte properties.
Doping
The ionic conductivity of tungsten trioxide can be improved by introducing appropriate dopants into the tungsten trioxide lattice, such as partial filling of tungsten vacancies or doping of other ions.
It should be pointed out that compared with typical electrolyte materials, the electrolyte properties of tungsten trioxide are more limited and conditional. Therefore, for practical electrolyte applications, such as solid oxide fuel cells (SOFC) or other ion transport devices, other materials with more excellent electrolyte properties, such as zirconia (ZrO2) or yttria-stabilized zirconia (YSZ )wait.
