Ammonium Paratungstate Preparing Ultrafine Cesium-tungsten Oxide Powder

Cesium is a golden yellow metal, low melting point active metal, easily oxidized in air and can react violently with water to produce hydrogen and even explode. There is no elemental form of cesium in nature, cesium minimal distribution in the ocean in the form of cesium salt. Cesium tungsten bronze is widely used because of its low resistance, excellent visible light transmittance, near-infrared shielding properties. Also it is widely used in preparing conductive thin film, since being the glass transparent insulation coating as insulating agent, it has excellent properties like low resistance, excellent visible light transmittance and near-infrared shielding performance. The article provides a method that using ammonium paratungstate and cesium nitrate as raw materials to produce Cesium-tungsten oxide ultrafine powder, the specific steps are as follows:



1. Weighing the cesium nitrate, ammonium paratungstate by the molar ratio of Cs/W being 1: (1.5 to 2.8), and adding chelating agent and alcohol reagent, reacting at 170°C for 3 hours;
2. Loading the mixture obtained in step 1 in a pressure vessel shells, raising the temperature to 260~270°C for reacting for 5 to 8 hours;
3. The reaction obtained in step 2 is carried out alcohol washing, centrifugation; then dried in the conditions of 80°C in vacuum, thus to generate complete crystalline cesium-tungsten powder.

Using this method to prepare cesium-tungsten oxide ultrafine powder has many advantages, such as: saving the materials, thus to save costs; shorten the preparation period, make it advantaged for industrial production; products prepared are ultrafine powders with a very low resistance.
