<span>Tungsten(VI) oxide can be easily synthesized starting from a standard light bulb. The reaction consists in the oxidation at high temperatures (T ≈ 2000 – 3000° C) of a tungsten filament in presence of air; conditions which can be easily achieved by connecting a broken light bulb (but with its intact filament) to an AC-power supply of 110 volts. The vapor of WO3 is condensed into a beaker in a quantity enough to be characterized by infrared spectroscopy. The experiment is very funny, inexpensive and allows to the teacher to link several topics in current chemistry and physics of the tungsten oxides, such as their nomenclature and technological applications (i.e. electrochromic devices, gasochromic sensors, superalloys or as it is used in home: As a “simple” emisor of light!).</span>

Catalysts based on zirconia- and alumina-supported tungsten oxides (15 wt % W) with a small loading of platinum (0.3 wt % Pt) were selected to study the influence of the reduction temperature and the nature of the support on the hydroisomerization of n-dodecane. The reduction temperature has a major influence on metal dispersion, which impacts the catalytic activity. In addition, alumina and zirconia supports show different catalytic properties (mainly acid site strength and surface area), which play an important role in the conversion. The NH3-TPD profiles indicate that the acidity in alumina-based catalysts is clearly higher than that in their zirconia counterparts; this acidity can be attributed to a stronger interaction of the WOx species with alumina. The PtW/Al catalyst was found to exhibit the best catalytic performance for the hydroisomerization of n-dodecane based on its higher acidity, which was ascribed to its larger surface area relative to that of its zirconia counterparts. The selectivity for different hydrocarbons (C7–10, C11 and i-C12) was very similar for all the catalysts studied, with branched C12 hydrocarbons being the main products obtained (~80%). The temperature of 350 °C was clearly the best reduction temperature for all the catalysts studied in a trickled-bed-mode reactor.

AbstractSince the 1970s, high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) is well established as the most appropriate method to explore the structural complexity of niobium tungsten oxides. Today, scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM) represents an important alternative for performing the structural characterization of such oxides. STEM images recorded with a high-angle annular dark field (HAADF) detector provide not only information about the cation positions but also about the distribution of niobium and tungsten as the intensity is directly correlated to the local scattering potential. The applicability of this method is demonstrated here for the characterization of the real structure of Nb7W10O47.5. This sample contains well-ordered domains of Nb8W9O47 and Nb4W7O31 besides little ordered areas according to HRTEM results. Structural models for Nb4W7O31 and twinning occurring in this phase have been derived from the interpretation of HAADF-STEM images. A remarkable grain boundary between well-ordered domains of Nb4W7O31 and Nb8W9O47 has been found that contains one-dimensionally periodic features. Furthermore, short-range order observed in less ordered areas could be attributed to an intimate intergrowth of small sections of different tetragonal tungsten bronze (TTB) based structures.
