Sodium tungsten bronze is a form of insertion compound with the formula NaxWO3, where x is equal to or less than 1. So named because of its metallic lustre, its electrical properties range from semiconducting to metallic depending on the concentration of sodium ions present; it can also exhibit superconductivity.
