The Influence Factors of Producing Blue Tungsten Oxide (2)

After studies showed a major factors influence blue tungsten oxide (BTO) performance was particle size and production process. The process production conditions including baking temperature, hydrogen flow and baking time. On one hand, under the certain baking temperature, the particle will grow up and the crack will more rough when hydrogen flow decease. 

But on the other hand when hydrogen flow increase, the particle will finer and uniform. This is mainly because of increased pressure and permeation of hydrogen will change the internal stress of particle, such stress can lead to lattice distortion, resulting in cracking particles. Therefore, the particles tend to rupture and produce a fine particle powder. Baking time also is an important factor for producing fine blue tungsten oxide. The long baking time, the bigger particle and surface crack of blue tungsten oxide. The experiments show, baking solution temperature at 400 ~ 500 ℃, baking time for 30 to 40 minutes, the hydrogen flow 1.51ml / min, will obtain more crack and uniform fine blue tungsten oxide particle.
