What Are The Colors of Tungsten Oxide?

Tungsten oxide (WO3) can exhibit a variety of colors, depending on its crystal structure and morphology. The following are common colors of tungsten oxide:

Yellow Tungsten Oxide (YTO)

The molecular formula of yellow tungsten oxide is WO3.

The most common color of tungsten oxide is yellow. This is due to the presence of defects and impurities in the crystal structure of tungsten oxide.

Blue Tungsten Oxide (BTO)

The molecular formula of blue tungsten oxide is WO2.9.

Under certain conditions, tungsten oxide can appear blue. Blue tungsten oxide is usually achieved by controlling the crystal structure and morphology.

Violet Tungsten Oxide (VTO)

The molecular formula of purple tungsten oxide is WO2.7

Some defects and impurities in tungsten oxide crystal can cause tungsten oxide to appear purple. Purple tungsten is also translated as Purple Tungsten Oxide, PTO.

Brown Tungsten Oxide

Tan tungsten oxide molecular formula is WO2

Other defects and impurities in tungsten oxide can also cause tungsten oxide to have a tan color. Brown tungsten oxide, or brown tungsten is actually tungsten dioxide.

Some people (such as OPENAI.ChatGPT) think that there is transparent tungsten oxide. China Tungsten Intelligent Manufacturing believes that this is a misunderstanding. In some cases, tungsten oxide has transparent characteristics, but its essence is not the change of oxygen molecular content, but High-purity tungsten oxide crystals can be transparent and can transmit light from ultraviolet to near-infrared.

However, the color of tungsten oxide may be affected by many factors, including crystal structure, crystal defects, impurity content, and light absorption and scattering. Therefore, the color of specific samples may vary. In addition, tungsten oxide can also change its color and optical properties by doping or alloying.
