Article Synopsis
- In complementary electrochromic devices (ECDs), replacing nickel oxide (NiO) with iridium oxide (IrO) as a counter electrode can significantly enhance device performance and longevity.
- The study compared the optical performance and cycling durability of IrO versus NiO on ITO glass substrates, with IrO achieving a larger optical transmittance modulation (∆T = 50%) compared to NiO (∆T = 32%).
- Additionally, IrO demonstrated fast switching times (coloring in 4.8 seconds, bleaching in 1.5 seconds) and maintained its performance even after 1000 cycles, indicating promising potential for future electrochromic applications.
Article Synopsis
- Nanoporous structures improve electrochromic performance by increasing surface area for faster ion/electron transfer, enhancing optical modulation and response time.
- The study introduces a new method using vacuum cathodic arc plasma to create WO/NiO electrode films on ITO glass for electrochromic devices, optimizing performance via nanoporous electrodes.
- Results show that a 200-nm WO film exhibits impressive ion diffusion and charge capacity, leading to a device with significant optical modulation (46%) and quick switching times (3.1s for coloration, 4.6s for bleaching), maintaining durability over 2500 cycles.
Article Synopsis
- The study focuses on creating an indium-zinc-tin-oxide (IZTO) transparent conductive film using DC reactive magnetron sputtering, evaluating its electrical, structural, and optical properties.
- The IZTO film made at 100 W power achieved the lowest resistivity of 5.2 × 10 Ω cm, indicating excellent conductivity.
- An electrochromic device (ECD) with a WO₃ electrode and Pt mesh counter-electrode demonstrated a significant optical contrast of 44% with quick switching times of 4.6 s for coloring and 8.1 s for bleaching at 550 nm.
