TiO$_2$-WO$_3$(8.2wt%) coatings were prepared by the APS (Atmospheric Plasma Spraying) process to clarify the relationship between the process parameters(H$_2$ gas flow rate of plasma 2nd gas and spraying distance) of the APS coating and photo-decomposition efficiency kinetics of the MB(methylene blue) aqueous solution decomposition and to understand the effect of addition of WO$_3$ on photocatalytic properties of TiO$_2$ sprayed coating. Further, the temperature and velocity of flying particles were measured by DPV-2000 to investigate the relationship between microstructure of coatings and process parameters. Properties of coatins were investigated by XRD, SEM, XPS, RAMAN, UV/VIS spectrometer. In case of the TiO$_2$-WO$_3$(8.2wt%) coating, it had a lower anatase fraction than that of pure-TiO$_2$ coatings because of flying in the higher temperature plasma plume by the heavy weight of TiO$_2$, WO$_3$. And, when WO$_3$ added powders were spayed, the doping effects of W ions substituted into the Ti ion sites was not occured during melting and solidification cycles of spraying. It was found that the addition of WO$_3$ was ineffective effective on increasing photo-decomposition efficiency of TiO$_2$ sprayed coating.

Microwave dielectric properties of $0.85CaWO_4-0.15LnNbO_4$ (Ln = La, Sm) ceramics were investigated as a function of the sintering temperature and $Li_2WO_4$ content from 0.8 wt.% to 1.5 wt.%. A single phase with tetragonal scheelite structure was obtained at a given composition ranges. For the specimens with $Li_2WO_4$, the sintering temperature could be effectively reduced from $1150^{\circ}C$ to $900^{\circ}C$ due to the enhancement of sinterability. Dielectric constant (K) of the specimens with $LaNbO_4$ and $SmNbO_4$ was increased with the increase of sintering temperature and/or $Li_2WO_4$ content. However, K of the specimens with $LaNbO_4$ was higher than that of $SmNbO_4$ due to the larger dielectric polarizability $(\alpha)$ of $LaNbO_4$ ($18.08{\AA}$) than that of $SmNbO_4$ ($16.75{\AA}$). With an increase of $Li_2WO_4$ content, Qf value of the specimens with $SmNbO_4$ was decreased, while that of the specimens with $LaNbO_4$ was increased. Temperature coefficient of resonant frequency (TCF) was increased with the increase of $Li_2WO_4$ content.

In this work, all solid-state thin film supercapacitor(TFSC) was fabricated using tungsten trioxide (WO$_3$) with a structure WO$_3$/LiPON/WO$_3$/Pt/TiO$_2$/Si (substrate). After TiO$_2$ was deposited on Si(100) wafer by d.c. reactive sputtering, the Pt current collector films were grown on TiO$_2$glue layer without breaking vacuum by d.c. sputtering. Fabrication conditions of WO$_3$ thin film were such that substrate temperature, working pressure, gas ratio of $O_2$/Ar and r.f. power were room temperature, 5 mTorr, 20% (O$_2$(8sccm)/Ar(32sccm)) and 200W, respectively. LiPON electrolyte film were grown on the WO$_3$ film using r.f. magnetron sputtering at room temperature. The XRD pattern of the as-deposited WO$_3$ thin film were shown no crystalline peak (amorphous). The SEM image of as-deposited WO$_3$ thin film showed that the surface is smooth and uniform. The capacitiy of as-fabricated TFSC was 0$\times$10$^{-2}$ F/$\textrm{cm}^2$-${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$.

Vertically aligned $WO_3$-CuO core-shell nanorod arrays for $NH_3$ sensing are prepared. The sensor is fabricated by preparing $WO_3$-CuO nanorod arrays directly on silicon wafer with interdigital Pt electrodes. The $WO_3$-CuO nanorod arrays are characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The sensor based on the vertically aligned $WO_3$-CuO nanorod arrays exhibits ultrasensitive $NH_3$ detection, indicating p-type behavior. The optimum sensing temperature is found to be about $150^{\circ}C$. Both response and recovery time to $NH_3$ ranging from 50 ppm to 500 ppm are around 10-15 s. A possible $NH_3$ sensing mechanism of the vertically aligned hybrid nanorod arrays is proposed.

We investigated vanadium (V) loading effects on selective catalytic reduction (SCR) activity and $SO_2$ resistance using commercial SCR catalysts applied on a power plant and incinerator with different amounts of V loading. These catalysts were characterized using XRD, Raman, ICP, BET analysis and found to contain $TiO_2$ (anatase) supported $V_2O_5$ added $WO_3$ and $SiO_2$. The SCR activity of the catalysts increased by increasing either the $V_2O_5$ or the $WO_3$ loading amounts; the SCR activity of the catalysts added $WO_3$ is higher than that of $WO_3$-free catalysts. As the V loading amount in the catalyst increased, the $SO_2$ durability decreased. The $V_2O_5$ supported $TiO_2$ catalyst added $WO_3$ and $SiO_2$ inhibits the deactivation process by $SO_2$. The $SO_2$ resistance of catalysts added $SiO_2$ is higher than that of catalysts added $WO_3$.

Microwave dielectric properties of $(1-x)CaWO_4-xYNbO_4$ ceramics have been investigated as a function of $YNbO_4$ content($0.05{\leq}x{\leq}0.4$). A single phase with tetragonal scheelite structure was obtained up to x=0.10 and then the secondary phase with fergusonite structure was increased. With the increase of $YNbO_4$ content, apparent densities of the specimens were decreased. This results were due to the lower theoretical density of $YNbO_4(5.581g/cm^3)$ than that of $CaWO_4(6.117g/cm^3)$. Dielectric constant(K) and quality factor(Qf) were decreased with $YNbO_4$ content which could be attribute to the decrease of density and the increase of secondary phase. Temperature coefficient of resonant frequency (TCF) of the specimens with the $YNbO_4$ content was depended on dielectric mixing rule.

A novel material, $Bi_2WO_6-GO-TiO_2$ composite, was successfully synthesized using a facile hydrothermal method. During the hydrothermal reaction, the loading of $Bi_2WO_6$ and $TiO_2$ nanoparticles onto graphene sheets was achieved. The obtained $Bi_2WO_{6-GO-TiO2}$ composite photo-catalysts were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive X-ray (EDX) analysis, transmission electron microscopy (TEM), Raman spectroscopy, ultraviolet-visible diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (UV-vis-DRS), and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The $Bi_2WO_6$ nanoparticle showed an irregular dark-square block nanoplate shape, while $TiO_2$ nanoparticles covered the surface of the graphene sheets with a quantum dot size. The degradation of rhodamine B (RhB), methylene blue trihydrate (MB), and reactive black B (RBB) dyes in an aqueous solution with different initial amount of catalysts was observed by UV spectrophotometry after measuring the decrease in the concentration. As a result, the $Bi_2WO_6-GO-TiO_2$ composite showed good decolorization activity with MB solution under visible light. The $Bi_2WO_6-GO-TiO_2$ composite is expected to become a new potential material for decolorization activity. Photocatalytic reactions with different photocatalysts were explained by the Langmuir-Hinshelwood model and a band theory.

The photoinduced hydrophilicity of $TiO_2/WO_3$ double layer films was fabricated by using a conventional rf-magnetron sputtering method. The photoinduced hydrophilic reaction of the $TiO_2$ surface was enhanced by the presence of $WO_3$ under the $TiO_2$ layer by irradiation of a 10 W cylindrical fluorescent light bulb. However, when the $TiO_2$ and $WO_3$ layers were separated by an insulating layer, the surface did not appeared high hydrophilic, under the same light bulb. The enhanced photoinduced hydrophilic reaction can be explained by the charge transfer between $TiO_2$ and $WO_3$ layers. It was also demonstrated that visible light passing through the $TiO_2$ layer could excite $WO_3$. Thus, visible light can be used for the hydrophilic reaction in the present $TiO_2/WO_3$ system.

In order to investigate the effect of $V_2O_5$ loading of $V_2O_5-WO_3/TiO_2$ catalyst on the NO reduction and the formation of $N_2O$, the experimental study was carried out in a differential reactor using the powder catalyst. The NO reduction and the ammonia oxidation were, respectively, investigated over the catalysts compose of $V_2O_5$ content (1~8 wt%) based on the fixed composition of $WO_3$ (9 wt%) on $TiO_2$ powder. $V_2O_5-WO_3/TiO_2$ catalysts had the NO reduction activity even under the temperature of $200^{\circ}C$. However, the lowest temperature for NO reduction activity more than 99.9% to treat NO concentration of 700 ppm appeared at 340 with very limited temperature window in the case of 1 wt% $V_2O_5$ catalyst. And the temperature shifted to lower one as well as the temperature window was widen as the $V_2O_5$ content of the catalyst increased, and finally reached at the activation temperature ranged $220{\sim}340^{\circ}C$ in the case of 6 wt% $V_2O_5$ catalyst. The catalyst of 8 wt% $V_2O_5$ content presented lower activity than that of 8 wt% $V_2O_5$ content over the full temperature range. NO reduction activity decreased as the $V_2O_5$ content of the catalyst increased above $340^{\circ}C$. The active site for NO reduction over $V_2O_5-WO_3/TiO_2$ catalysts was mainly related with $V_2O_5$ particles sustained as the bare surface with relevant size which should be not so large to stimulate $N_2O$ formation at high temperature over $320^{\circ}C$ according to the ammonia oxidation. Currently, $V_2O_5-WO_3/TiO_2$ catalysts were operated in the temperature ranged $350{\sim}450^{\circ}C$ to treat NOx in the effluent gas of industrial plants. However, in order to save the energy and to reduce the secondary pollutant $N_2O$ in the high temperature process, the using of $V_2O_5-WO_3/TiO_2$ catalyst of content $V_2O_5$ was recommended as the low temperature catalyst which was suitable for low temperature operation ranged $250{\sim}320^{\circ}C$.
