Cesium tungsten oxide for manufacturing transparent heat-insulation coating is also known as CsxWO3. It has been reported that CsxWO3 nano particles show high transparency in the visible region, excellent shielding performance of near-infrared light and limited reflectance of light in the range of 200-2700 nm, indicating the strong absorption of NIR light on the nanosized CsxWO3.

You know, infrared radiation is widely used in industrial, scientific, military and medical applications. Infrared radiation can be used as a heating source and shows many applications such as to remove ice from the wings of aircrafts, cooking and heating food, curing of coatings, forming of plastics, annealing, and drying. On the other hand, about more than half of the total energy from the Sun was found to arrive on earth in the form of infrared. The balance between absorption and emission of infrared radiation has a critical effect on Earth’s climate. Of course, IR radiation also results in some demerits in human’s life. And cesium tungsten oxide is regarded as an candidate for the applications of UV and IR shielding.
