What Is The Light Absorption Capacity of Tungsten Oxide?

Tungsten oxide has high light absorption capacity, especially in the ultraviolet and visible light range. It has a high absorption coefficient in the ultraviolet light region (200-400 nanometers) and visible light region (400-800 nanometers), which can absorb most of the incident light and convert it into heat energy. This is due to the electronic structure and crystal structure characteristics of tungsten oxide.

When tungsten oxide is exposed to ultraviolet or visible light, it absorbs photon energy and excites electrons inside. These excited electrons may jump to a higher energy level, forming an excited state. These excited states de-excite rapidly and release energy, usually in the form of heat. Therefore, tungsten oxide converts light energy into heat energy in the process of light absorption, which makes it widely used in thermal applications.

The high light absorption ability of tungsten oxide makes it have potential application prospects in the fields of solar absorbers, photothermal converters, photocatalytic reactions and photosensitive materials. For example, in a solar thermal power generation system, a tungsten oxide film can be used as a light-absorbing layer to absorb the energy of sunlight and convert it into heat energy, thereby driving a generator set to generate electricity. Additionally, the light-absorbing properties of tungsten oxide make it ideal for photosensitive materials and optical coatings for applications such as sensors, displays, and optics.
