Tungsten oxide has semiconducting properties and can exhibit adjustable electrical conductivity under certain conditions.
Tungsten oxide (WO3) is an insulator in its pure form and does not conduct electricity. However, the conductivity of tungsten oxide can be tuned by doping or changing its structure.
A common method is to introduce impurities by doping tungsten oxide. Doping can make tungsten oxide a semiconductor or conductor. For example, doping a small amount of metal ions (such as silver, calcium, lithium, etc.) can introduce additional electrons or holes, increasing conductivity.
In addition, the conductivity of tungsten oxide is also affected by its crystal structure. There are various crystal structures of tungsten oxide, such as monoclinic crystal, tetragonal crystal and trigonal crystal. Among them, tungsten oxide with a trigonal crystal structure (nanoparticle form) usually has better conductivity.
In summary, the conductivity of tungsten oxide can be achieved by doping or adjusting the crystal structure, from insulator to semiconductor or conductor. This makes tungsten oxide widely used in electronic devices, sensors, catalysts and other fields.
