Tungsten oxytetrachloride can be prepared by the reaction of tungsten trioxide (WO3) and thionyl chloride (SOCl₂), carbon tetrachloride (CCl4) or tungsten hexachloride (WCl₆). Its formula is WOCl4. Physical properties of WOCl4: 1. Orange-red needle crystal, tetragonal crystal structure. 2. Density is 3.95g/cm3 (solid) or 2.73g/cm3 (liquid). 3. Melting point is 211 °C. 4. Boiling point is 232 °C. Chemical properties of WOCl4: 1. It is soluble in carbon disulfide (CS2), benzene and other organic solvents. 2. It is easy to…

Nano tungsten oxide, an important industrial raw material, is a compound of tungsten with grain size less than 100nm. Nano WO3 can be used to prepare nano tungsten powder and nano tungsten carbide powder. Early, common nanometer tungsten oxide producing method is solid phase reaction method. Solid phase reaction method, a traditional method, refers to mix metal salt or metal oxide with a certain ratio, after grinding, calcinate it by solid phase reaction, and then micron powder is obtained. Applications:…

Hexagonal tungsten trioxide has prospect application in cathode material and chargeable lithium ion battery. Hexagonal WO3 is metastable state phase. Its producing method is mild. It can be made by hydrothermal method, using sodium tungstate and hydrochloric acid as raw material, and then adding like potassium oxalate and potassium sulphate as additives. How about hexagonal tungsten oxide structure? Hexagonal WO3 is focused due to its special hexagonal path, many metal ion can insert to this path which forms into hexagonal…

Orthorhombic phase tungsten trioxide, i.e. tungsten trioxide with orthorhombic phase (WO3), can be prepared by hydrothermal synthesis (using different precursors and regulators, under the conditions of suitable temperature, concentration and pH). According to simple chemical stoichiometric ratio, W:O is 1:3, its ideal crystalline structure can be seen as W atom in the center and the other six surrounded by it. Tungsten oxide octahedron (WO6) is joined by the same dome, there are many vacancies between octahedron and forms many paths.…

Tungsten trioxide, also known as WO3, tungsten oxide or tungstic anhydride, is mainly applied to produce tungsten powder and tungsten carbide powder. And then the two kind of powder are used to produce all kinds of pure tungsten products (such as tungsten wires, tungsten electrodes and tungsten rods, etc.) and tungsten carbide products (such as tungsten carbide molds and tungsten carbide knives, etc.) respectively. WO3 can also be used as a kind of pigment (for yellow ceramics) or as a…

Tungsten oxide, a kind of yellow orthorhombic crystal, is insoluble in water and acid (except HF), but, slowly dissolves in concentrated alkali solution. Tungsten oxide, a kind of tungstic anhydride, is obtained as an intermediate in the recovery of tungsten from its minerals. It is mainly applied in manufacturing tungsten, tungstates, tungsten alloys. There are four types of tungsten oxide: 1. Yellow tungsten oxide, short for YTO, formula is WO3; 2. Blue tungsten oxide, short for BTO, formula is WO2.9…
