Abstract: | Thin films of electrochromic WO3 were prepared via wet chemical deposition. Precursor solutions containing WOCl4 in isopropanol were used and films were deposited by spin coating. Various techniques were used for characterization of the films such as Rutherford backscattering spectroscopy (RBS), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), UV-VIS spectroscopy and electrochemical methods. Composition, structural characteristics and electrochromic properties were studied as function of the curing temperature, in the range 80–500°C. |
