Cesium tungsten bronze nanopowder is a type of near infrared shielding material that can shield most of the solar radiation. The solar radiation is mainly ultraviolet (in the wavelength range of 200~380nm) and near-infrared radiation (in the wavelength range of 780~2500nnm). Cesium tungsten bronze (CsxWO3) is a mixture of hexavalent tungsten (W6+) and pentavalent tungsten (W5+). The W5+ makes the CsxWO3 more reducible. In CsxWO3, Cs+ is filled in the void formed by WO3. Therefore, cesium tungsten bronze crystals are…
