Pure ground tungsten trioxide WO3 and (1-x) WO3-y. xReO(2) mixtures were studied by x-ray absorption spectroscopy, x-ray powder diffraction and Raman spectroscopy in comparison with hydrogen bronzes HxWO3 and hydrogenated calcium tungstate CaWO4:H. It was found that a grinding of pure WO3 leads to a decrease of the crystallites size and a development of the bluish coloration. The color change was found to be reversible under moderate heat treatment or after storage in oxidizing atmosphere and is attributed to the reduced W5+ ions, located at the surface of freshly ground powder. The (1-x) WO3-y. xReO(2) mixtures were found to be composed of monoclinic/orthorhombic WO3 and orthorhombic ReO2 phases with a grain boundary containing reduced W5.7+ ions which are mainly responsible for the compound color at low rhenium ion concentrations. In both cases, the W(6-z+) (0<z less than or equal to 1) color centers are responsible for strong optical absorption resulting in the dramatic decrease of the total Raman intensity.

Abstract

"Pure ground tungsten trioxide WO3 and (1-x) WO3-y. xReO(2) mixtures were studied by x-ray absorption spectroscopy, x-ray powder diffraction and Raman spectroscopy in comparison with hydrogen bronzes HxWO3 and hydrogenated calcium tungstate CaWO4:H. It was found that a grinding of pure WO3 leads to a decrease of the crystallites size and a development of the bluish coloration. The color change was found to be reversible under moderate heat treatment or after storage in oxidizing atmosphere and is attributed to the reduced W5+ ions, located at the surface of freshly ground powder. The (1-x) WO3-y. xReO(2) mixtures were found to be composed of monoclinic/orthorhombic WO3 and orthorhombic ReO2 phases with a grain boundary containing reduced W5.7+ ions which are mainly responsible for the compound color at low rhenium ion concentrations. In both cases, the W(6-z+) (0<z less than or equal to 1) color centers are responsible for strong optical absorption resulting in the dramatic decrease of the total Raman intensity.
