Amorphous Tungsten Oxide (alpha-WO3) film is one of the most studied electrochromic (EC) materials. It can be used as EC layer in EC devices. Electrochromism can be described as reversible change optical properties, by an applied external voltage. Here alpha-WO3 thin films were deposited onto glass and ITO substrates by reactive DC magnetron sputtering for EC application. Growth temperature, ox...

An electrochromic material is one where a reversible color change takes place upon reduction (gain of electrons) or oxidation (loss of electrons), on passage of electrical current after the application of an appropriate electrode potential. In this review, the general field of electrochromism is introduced, with coverage of the types, applications, and chemical classes of electrochromic materia...
