Electrochromic (EC) materials are able to change their optical properties, reversibly and persistently, by switching of their redox states. These materials are currently attracting much interest in academia and industry for both their fascinating spectroelectrochemical properties and their commercial applications. EC materials can be integrated in multilayer devices capable of modulating the optical transmittance between widely separated extrema. In this presentation, inorganic EC materials including tungsten oxide (coloring under charge insertion) and nickel oxide (coloring under charge extraction) for ‘smart’ windows are discussed. In addition, their nanomaterials can provide electrochromic devices with improved coloration efficiencies, faster switching times, longer cycle lives and potentially reduced costs. |
