The powders for the $Na_xWO_3$ (x= 1 and 0.75) sputtering targets were synthesized by the calcination in reductive atmosphere. Near single-phase $NaWO_3$ and single-phase $Na_{0.75}WO_3$ powder targets were prepared. By using the targets, thin films of each composition were deposited by rf magnetron sputtering on the $SiO_2$ (100 nm)/Si substrates and annealed by RTP (rapid thermal processing) for crystallization. In the case of the $NaWO_3$ composition, single-phase $Na_xWO_3$ thin films, where x was believed to be slightly less than 1, were fabricated accompanying the Na-diffusion into the substrates during RTP. However, in the case of the $Na_{0.75}WO_3$ thin film preparation, it was unable to make single-phase thin films. From the phase formation behaviors of both powders and thin films, it was revealed that $Na_xWO_3$ with nonstoichiometric composition of x, which was slightly less than 1, was favorable. The good electrical conduction properties were obtained from the single-phase $Na_xWO_3$ thin films. Their electrical resistivities were as low as $7.5{\times}10^{-4}{\Omega}{\cdot}cm$.

In the present work, $WO_3$ and $WO_3-TiO_2$ were prepared by the chemical deposition method. Structural variations, surface state and elemental compositions were investigated for preparation of $WO_3-TiO_2$ sonocatalyst. X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive X-ray (EDX) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) were employed for characterization of these new photocatalysts. A rhodamine B (Rh.B) solution under ultrasonic irradiation was used to determine the catalytic activity. Excellent catalytic degradation of an Rh.B solution was observed using the $WO_3-TiO_2$ composites under ultrasonic irradiation. Sonocatalytic degradation is a novel technology of treating wastewater. During the ultrasonic treatment of aqueous solutions sonoluminescence, cavitaties and "hot spot" occurred, leading to the dissociation of water molecules. In case of a $WO_3$ coupled system, a semiconductor coupled with two components has a beneficial role in improving charge separation and enhancing $TiO_2$ response to ultrasonic radiations. In case of the addition of $WO_3$ as new matter, the excited electrons from the $WO_3$ particles are quickly transferred to $TiO_2$ particle, as the conduction band of $WO_3$ is 0.74 eV which is -0.5 eV more than that of $TiO_2$. This transfer of charge should enhance the oxidation of the adsorbed organic substrate. The result shows that the photocatalytic performance of $TiO_2$ nanoparticles was improved by loading $WO_3$.

염료 감응형 태양전지의 에너지 전환 효율을 향상시키고자 $TiO_2$에 $WO_3$을 첨가하여 광전극을 제조하고 그 전기화학적 특성 평가를 하였다. 또한 $WO_3$가 첨가된 $TiO_2$를 회쇄함으로써 회쇄 효과가 전지효율에 미치는 영향을 고찰하였다. I-V 곡선을 통하여 측정된 염료 감응형 태양전지의 효율은 $WO_3$ 첨가 및 회쇄 효과에 의하여 2.8에서 6.0%로 크게 증가하였다. 이와 같은 결과는 $TiO_2$의 전도대에서 전달되는 전자가 염료 및 전해질과 재결합되기 전에 $TiO_2$의 전도대보다 낮은 $WO_3$의 전도대를 통해 전달되기 때문에 전체 전류의 양이 증가되어 효율이 증가한 것으로 여겨진다. 또한, 임피던스 결과로부터 $TiO_2$/염료/전해질 계면의 저항 값이 감소하는 것을 확인하였다.

Nanocrystallne WO₃ and MoO₃ with several different sizes and crystal structures were prepared by simple acid precipitation and subsequent heat treatment. The photochromic (PC) properties of these samples were comparatively investigated in powder state by monitoring diffuse reflectance spectral changes after bandgap irradiation. The PC effect of hexagonal WO₃ and monoclinic WO₃ strongly depended upon crystallite size rather than crystal structure. The smaller the crystallite size, the better the PC effect. However, orthorhombic WO·H₂O and MoO₃ having hexagonal and orthorhombic structures did not follow this trend. One consistent result for all WO₃ and MoO₃ samples is that the heat treatment in air, which changes crystallinity, whether it changes the crystal structure or only the crystallite size, reduces the PC effect. Since the thermal treatment reduces the surface oxygen defect sites, we believe that the PC effect of WO₃ and MoO₃ depends critically on the surface oxygen defect sites that serve as deep trap sites for photogenerated electrons and oxygen radical holes. We also found that the proton insertion claimed by double charge injection model is not critical for the PC effect.

$CaWO_4:Sm_x$(x = 0, 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0 mol%) white phosphors with different concentrations of $Sm^{3+}$ ions were synthesized using the hydrothermal method. The crystal structure, surface, and optical properties of the $CaWO_4:Sm_x$ phosphors were investigated using X-ray diffraction(XRD), field-emission scanning electron microscopy(FE-SEM), photoluminescence(PL) and photoluminescence excitation(PLE). From the XRD results, the crystal structure of the $CaWO_4:Sm$ phosphors was found to be tetragonal. The $CaWO_4:Sm$ phosphors became more cohesive with increasing $Sm^{3+}$-ion concentration. The photoluminescence excitation(PLE) peak of the phosphors, at around 250 nm, was ascribed to the transition from the 1A1 ground-state to the high-vibration level of 1T2 in the $WO{_4}^{2-}$ complex. The maximum emission spectra of the phosphors were observed when the $Sm^{3+}$ concentration was 0.5 mol%. The luminescence intensity of the $CaWO_4$ phosphors was decreased for $Sm^{3+}$ concentrations greater than 0.5 mol%.

A series of catalysts, $NiO/La_2O_3-ZrO_2/WO_3$, for acid catalysis was prepared by the precipitation and impregnation methods. For the $NiO/La_2O_3-ZrO_2/WO_3$ samples, no diffraction lines of nickel oxide were observed, indicating good dispersion of nickel oxide on the catalyst surface. The catalyst was amorphous to X-ray diffraction up to 300 ${^{\circ}C}$ of calcination temperature, but the tetragonal phase of $ZrO_2$ and monoclinic phase of $WO_3$ by the calcination temperatures from 400 ${^{\circ}C}$ to 700 ${^{\circ}C}$ were observed. The role of $La_2O_3$ in the catalyst was to form a thermally stable solid solution with zirconia and consequently to give high surface area and acidity. The high acid strength and high acidity were responsible for the W=O bond nature of complex formed by the modification of $ZrO_2$ with $WO_3$. For 2-propanol dehydration the catalyst calcined at 400 ${^{\circ}C}$ exhibited the highest catalytic activity, while for cumene dealkylation the catalyst calcined at 600 ${^{\circ}C}$ showed the highest catalytic activity. 25-$NiO/5-La_2O_3-ZrO_2/15-WO_3$ exhibited maximum catalytic activities for two reactions due to the effects of $WO_3$ modifying and $La_2O_3$ doping.

WO$_3$ 박막은 H$^{+}$이온이나 Li$^{+}$ 이온과 반응하여 H$_2$WO$_4$나 Li$_{x}$WO$_{3+x}$의 화합물을 이루고 파란색을 나타내는 효과를 보인다. 이러한 효과를 전기변색 (electrochromic) 효과라 한다. 이러한 전기변색효과를 이용하여 건축물의 창문을 통하여 들어오는 태양에너지와 빛의 양을 조절하는 윈도우를 제작하려는 국가적인 프로젝트가 미국, EU, 일본 등의 선진국에서 활발하게 진행되고 있다. WO$_3$ 박막을 제조하는 방법으로는 sputtering, CVD, 그리고 sol-gel coating 법 등이 있다. sputtering이나 CVD의 경우는 매우 균일하고 전기변색 특성이 좋은 박막을 제조할 수 있는 이점이 있지만 장치의 제조비가 비싸고 대형 패널을 제작하는 데에는 어려움이 있다. 솔-젤 코팅의 경우는 WO$_3$의 전구체인 솔을 합성하고 bath에 솔을 넣은 후 코팅하고자 하는 글라스 기판을 담갔다가 꺼내어 건조하고 열처리하는 간단한 방법으로 제조할 수 있는 장점이 있다. 솔-젤 코팅의 경우 제조비가 값싸고 대면적 코팅이 용이하다는 점이 다른 코팅 방법에 비하여 장점이라고 한 수 있다.다.다.

The electrical conducton in the sintered 3Bi2O3.WO3 solid electrolyte was investigated by measuring the conductivity and ionic transport number. The electrical conductivity was about three to ten times higher than that of YSZ at temperatures between 300 and 80$0^{\circ}C$. D.C. polarization method confirmed that 3Bi2O3.WO3 was predominantly an ionic conductor. Unlike the instability of high conductive fcc phase in the rare-earth oxide-Bi2O3 or Y2O3-Bi2O3 systems at temperature below $700^{\circ}C$, fcc phase in the 3Bi2O3.WO3 exhibited no transformation even after annealing over 900 hrs at 600 and $650^{\circ}C$. Two samples which had different grain sizes showed almost the same conductivity. This result suggests that the electrical properties of grain and grain boundry were very similar.

$C_{60}$ nanowhiskers were synthesized from $C_{60}$ by liquid-liquid interfacial precipitation (LLIP) using $C_{60}$-saturated toluene and isopropyl alcohol. The $WO_3$ nanoparticles were synthesized by adding $3.8{\times}10^{-4}$ mole amount of ammonium metatungstate hydrate ($H_{26}N_6O_{40}W_{12}{\cdot}H_2O$) to 500 ml of distilled water, and the resulting solution was heated on a hot plate for 4 h. The $C_{60}$ nanowhiskers/$WO_3$ nanocomposites were prepared with $C_{60}$ nanowhiskers and $WO_3$ nanoparticles in an electric furnace at $700^{\circ}C$ in an argon gas atmosphere for 2 h. The $C_{60}$ nanowhiskers/$WO_3$ nanocomposites were characterized by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, and transmission electron microscopy. UV-vis spectroscopy was used to evaluate the performance of the $C_{60}$ nanowhiskers/$WO_3$ nanocomposites as a photocatalyst in the degradation of organic dyes, such as methylene blue (MB) and brilliant green (BG) under ultraviolet light (254 nm).
