UrbanMines Tech., Ltd. specializes in the research, production, and supply of high-purity compounds of tungsten and cesium. Many domestic and foreign customers cannot clearly distinguish between the three products of cesium tungsten bronze, cesium tungsten oxide, and cesium tungstate. In order to answer the questions of our customers, our company’s technical research and development department compiled this article and explained it thoroughly. Cesium tungsten bronze, cesium tungsten oxide, and cesium tungstate are three different compounds of tungsten and cesium, and they have their own characteristics in chemical properties, structure, and application fields. The following are their detailed differences:
