Tungsten oxide is widely used in the photolysis of water for hydrogen production, photocatalysis, photoelectric conversion, and electrochromism. Eu 3+ doped tungsten trioxide nanoparticles were prepared by hydrothermal method with the addition of sodium tungstate (NaWO 4 · 2H 2 O). Two different samples were obtained at the temperature set at 160 and 180°C. The third sample obtained from ammonium paratungstate ((NH 4 ) 10 H 2 (W 2 O 7 ) 6 ) was used at the temperature of 160°C. The samples’ morphology, structure, and optical performance were then observed and analyzed. The results show that a rod-like structure of WO 3 : Eu 3+ nanoparticle with a monoclinic crystal system can be successfully generated using sodium tungstate. A spherical structure of WO 3 : Eu 3+ nanoparticle with a triclinic crystal system was prepared using ammonium paratungstate. The finished sample with ammonium paratungstate at a reaction temperature of 160°C has the smallest grain average size of 45.98 nm and Eu 3+ ions successfully doped. Under the excitation of different wavelengths, the three samples demonstrate pronounced emission peaks at around 615 nm, corresponding to the 5D 0 → 7F 2 electronic transition of Eu 3+ . Using ammonium paratungstate as the tungsten source, the prepared WO 3 : Eu 3+ nanoparticle at 160°C has the highest luminous intensity. The luminescence intensity of the prepared WO 3 : Eu 3+ nanoparticle from ammonium paratungstate as a tungsten source is higher than the other two samples obtained from sodium tungstate as a tungsten source at two temperatures. However, the three samples with excitation wavelength λ = 254 nm were monitored at the wavelength of 615 nm. All three samples exhibited the most substantial excitation peaks at about 508 nm, which belonged to the electron transition in 4f of Eu 3+ .

Photochromic materials are an important class of “smart materials” and are broadly utilized in technological devices. However, most photochromic materials reported so far are composed of inorganic compounds that are challenging to process and suffer from poor mechanical performance, severely limiting their applications in various markets. In this paper, inorganic photochromic tungsten trioxide (WO 3 ) nanocrystals are conveniently grafted with polymers to hurdle the deficiency in processability and mechanical properties. This new type of photochromic material can be thermally processed into desired geometries like disks and dog-bone specimens. Fully reversible photochromic response under UV light is also achieved for WO 3 -graft polymers, exhibiting tunable response rate, outperforming the pristine WO 3 nanocrystals. Notably, the resulted graft polymers show extraordinary mechanical performance with excellent ductility (≈800% breaking strain) and relatively high breaking strength (≈2 MPa). These discoveries elucidate an effective pathway to design smart inorganic/organic hybrid thermoplastic elastomers endowed with outstanding photochromic and mechanical properties as well as exceptional processability.

The development of sensitive materials for standard and improvised explosives is greatly significant to homeland security. In this paper, the phosphotungstate (NaPT) doped polyphenylene vinylene (PPV) nanotube arrays (NTAs), with excellent optical response, chemical stability, and larger specific surface area, are successfully fabricated by means of the “precursor film” infiltration method. The efficient charge carriers' separation of PPV NTAs can be achieved by doping NaPT to realize the photoelectric detection of explosive vapors. In addition, the identification of six explosives, including ammonium nitrate (AN), dinitrotoluence (DNT), picric acid (PA), p-nitrotoluene (PNT), triacetone triperoxide (TATP), and trinitrotoluene (TNT), can also be realized through the fingerprint atlas. Moreover, the adsorption energy and excited oscillator intensity has also been employed to explain the interaction between NaPT doped PPV nanotube arrays and various explosive molecules. Obviously, the NaPT doped PPV developed has the potential to be used as an explosive sensor.

The potential ability of photochromic hydrogel as smart response material is determined by its coloration and fading speed. However, it is still a huge challenge to improve both the coloration and fading speed simultaneously. This paper presents the successful development of robust hydrogels with fast photoresponse and water-driven ultra-fast fading speed through the implementation of a dual-network preparation strategy. In the dual-network hydrogel, sodium tungstate contributed to its discoloration and crosslink. The obtained hydrogel exhibited fast photochromic response within 20 s under visible light irradiation. In addition, the photochromic response was achieved in 30 s under actual sunlight irradiation. Particularly, rapid fading of photochromic hydrogels was achieved by applying deionized water while leaving it naturally for 90 s. Furthermore, the simulated house experiments showed that the use of this hydrogel as smart glass could decrease the indoor temperature by about 5 °C. The photochromic hydrogel in this paper possesses excellent reversible repeatability, flexibility and foldability, and it exhibits promising potential for use in flexible information storage devices, visual displays and artificial intelligence systems, smart windows and other applications.
