The industrially important transition metal tungsten (W) shares certain chemical properties with the essential plant micronutrient molybdenum and inhibits the activity of molybdoenzymes such as nitrate reductase, impacting plant growth. Furthermore, tungsten appears to interfere with metabolic processes on a much wider scale and to trigger common heavy metal stress response mechanisms. We have previously found evidence that the tungsten stress response of soybeans () grown with symbiotically associated N-fixing rhizobia () differs from that observed in nitrogen-fertilized soy plants.

High-entropy oxides (HEOs) are of interest for their unique physical and chemical properties. Significant lattice distortions, strain, and tolerance for high-vacancy concentrations set HEOs apart from single-metal or mixed-metal oxides. Herein, we synthesized and characterized the structures and compositions, along with the optical, magnetic, and electrocatalytic properties, of two families of high-entropy mixed-metal tungsten and molybdenum oxides, AWO and BMoO, where A and B are 3d transition metals.

Vanadium oxide (VO) is considered a Peierls-Mott insulator with a metal-insulator transition (MIT) at T = 68° C. The tuning of MIT parameters is a crucial point to use VO within thermoelectric, electrochromic, or thermochromic applications. In this study, the effect of oxygen deficiencies, strain engineering, and metal tungsten doping are combined to tune the MIT with a low phase transition of 20 °C in the air without capsulation.

Oxygen-vacancy-rich WO absorbers are gaining increasing attention because of their extensive absorbance-based applications in near-infrared shielding, photocatalysis, sterilization, interfacial evaporator and electrochromic, photochromic, and photothermal fields. Thermal treatment in an oxygen-deficient atmosphere enables us to prepare WO but lacks the capacity for finely manipulating the grown structures. In this work, we present that laser-induced periodic surface structure (LIPSS) obtained by femtosecond laser ablation is a good template to grow various hierarchical WO ultrabroadband absorbers and photothermal converters by thermal oxidation annealing in air.

Layered two-dimensional transition metal dichalcogenides and their heterostructures are of current interest, owing to the diversity of their applications in many areas of materials nanoscience and technologies. With this in mind, we have examined the three molecular dimers of the tungsten dichalcogenide series, (WCh) (Ch = S, Se, Te), using density functional theory to provide insight into which interactions, and their specific characteristics, are responsible for the interfacial/interlayer region in the room temperature 2H phase of WCh crystals. Our calculations at various levels of theory suggested that the Te···Te chalcogen bonding in (WTe) is weak, whereas the Se···Se and S···S bonding interactions in (WSe) and (WS), respectively, are of the van der Waals type.
