Abstract

Abstract: Herein, we present, for a first time, an electrochromic film of WO3 fabricated on a ITO by etching process, adopting a low-cost, facile and template-free fabrication process. By using hydrothermal method, we obtained WO3 films with a simplified architechture (ITO/HCl/WO3) in which HCl supports WO3 to form adhesive layer. Compared to ITO/WO3 configuration, the ITO/ HCl/WO3 configuration exhibited a strong enhancement in terms of roughness, porosity, open-tunnel structure, current density and coloration efficiency (about 179cm2C-1). Moreover, electro-optical characterization illustrates high transmittance modulation (about 49% at 630 nm) with excellent stability, making it attractive for a practical application.
