The intense NUV emission might be due to the localized states associated with oxygen vacancies and surface states. Background Tungsten oxide is of particular interest owing to its outstanding electrochromic optochromic and gas chromic properties 1-3 which make it a promising candidate for applications in smart windows wide-angle high-contrast displays gas and temperature sensors 4-6 . Tungsten oxide in bulk form has been studied extensively over the past few decades. Nevertheless there are relatively few reports on tungsten oxide nanostructures. In particular little is known about the luminescence properties of tungsten oxide nanostructures possibly because tungsten oxide is an indirect band gap semiconductor with low-emission efficiency. Two strong emissions from tungsten oxide nanostructures near-ultraviolet NUV emission and blue emission have been reported 7-12 . Nevertheless there is still some controversy regarding the origins of the two emissions. Niederberger et al. 7 suggested that the blue emission from WO3 nanoparticles in an ethanol solution was due to a band-to-band transition. Luo et al. 8 also reported that the NUV and blue emissions from the WO3 - x nanowire network were due to the state of oxygen vacancies and a band-to-band transition respectively. On the other hand .
