Abstract: current densities. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) results showed that the codeposition mechanism oftungsten in Ni-W deposition is the reduction of tungsten oxide which changed to the reduction of tungsten-containingion complexes at higher current densities. In Co-W electrodeposition, the tungsten codeposition takes place viareduction of tungsten oxide, although, the role...

tungsten trioxide (wo3) films have been coated on indium thin oxide (ito) conductive glass substrate, using aqueous solution of peroxotungstic acid (pta) by the sol-gel dip coating method. x-ray diffractometery (xrd) analysis confirmed monoclinic and triclinic structure for the film and powdered wo3 respectively. fourier transforms infrared spectroscopy (ft-ir) exhibited the structure of peroxo...

Efficient visible light-induced photoelectrochemical oxidation of water was achieved using a tungsten(iv) oxide (WO(3)) film composed of perpendicularly oriented plate-like crystallites, a flake-wall film, prepared on a transparent conductive substrate by controlling anisotropic crystal growth of tungsten oxide hydrate (WO(3).H(2)O) followed by calcination.

The photoelectrolysis of water to yield hydrogen and oxygen using visible light has enormous potential for solar energy harvesting if suitable photoelectrode materials can be developed. Few of the materials with a band gap suitable for visible light activation have the necessary band-edge potentials or photochemical stability to be suitable candidates. Tungsten oxide (Ebg 2.8 eV) is a good cand...

In this study, doped vanadium oxide nanotubes were evaluated using different software to study the absorption of hydrogen gas. Vanadium oxide nanotubes are one of the options for absorption and storage hydrogen gas. In this research study for the first time, the Monte Carlo simulation was used to investigate the hydrogen gas absorption behavior in molybdenum-tungsten, molybdenum-zirconium and z...

An insulated nanotube wire is formed by the binary phase of layered tungsten disulphide and carbon nanotubes (shown in the HRTEM image) generated by the sulphidization of tungsten oxide coated multiwalled carbon nanotubes at 900 °C. Thermogravimetric analysis shows that the tungsten disulphide coat acts as an antioxidant.

Introduction Thermionic cathodes are used in many industrial vacuum electronic applications. Vacuum tubes for high-frequency or high-power applications are one example (e.g., see [1]). The emission properties of thermionic electron sources in vacuum devices are often Bimproved[ by the addition of oxide coatings on the metal cathode surface [2, 3]. The explanation of the improvement is usually b...

Photoluminescence measurements showed that needle-like tungsten oxide nanostructures synthesized at 590°C to 750°C by the thermal evaporation of WO3 nanopowders without the use of a catalyst had an intense near-ultraviolet (NUV) emission band that was different from that of the tungsten oxide nanostructures obtained in other temperature ranges. The intense NUV emission might be due to the local...

A series of supported WO3 catalysts were synthesized by incipient wetness impregnation of ammonium metatungstate aqueous solutions onto Al2O3, TiO2, Nb2O5, and ZrO2 supports as a function of tungsten oxide loading. The resulting solid acid catalysts were physically characterized with in situ Raman and UV–vis spectroscopy and chemically probed by methanol dehydration to dimethyl ether (CH3OH-TPS...
