A Detailed Review on the Properties and Applications of WO3 Nanostructure-Based Optical and Electronic Devices | Chapter 01 | Recent Trends in Chemical and Material Sciences Vol. 5

 Tungsten oxide (WO3) is a wide bandgap semiconductor with accidentally doped n-type, strong electrical conductivity, and high electron Hall mobility, making it a potential material for optoelectronic applications. Recent publications have included reviews on the use of WO3 and its derivatives in electrochemistry, photochemistry, hybrid photocatalysts, electrochemical energy storage, and gas sensors. In addition, due to their unique chemical, photochromic, and physical features, nanostructured transition metal oxides have gotten a lot of interest in the last decade. Because of their distinctive photoluminescence (PL), electrochromic, and electrical capabilities, the applications of WO3 nanostructure-based optical and electronic devices have steadily gained substantial scientific interest. This review focuses on recent advancements in tungsten oxide, beginning with fundamental analysis to improve the optoelectronic, electrochromic, and photochromic properties of WO3 and to develop advanced devices based on tungsten oxide for optical and electronic applications, such as photodetectors, light-emitting diodes (LEDs), PL properties, electrical properties, and optical information storage. This review of previous findings in WO3-related optical and electrical devices, as well as concluding remarks and predictions, will aid researchers in furthering the field of nanostructured transition metal oxide optoelectric applications.
