WO 3 /MoO 3 composites were created via hydrothermal synthesis using W−Mo alloy scrap and poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG). Optimal conditions for photochromism were determined. The composite W1Mo9 displayed superior photochromic properties at a 1:9 W/Mo molar ratio, a 2 h synthesis time, and a 90 °C temperature. Under simulated sunlight, the green hue of WO 3 /MoO 3 shifted to blue. These WO 3 /MoO 3 composites exhibit excellent reversibility and recyclability. Irradiation of WO 3 and MoO 3 yielded electron−hole pairs, converting them into H x WO 3 and H x MoO 3 and altering their apparent color. This marks the first-ever conversion of W−Mo alloy scrap into a photochromic material, presenting a method for recycling transition-metal alloy scrap.
