Summary: Commercially available electrochromic (EC) windows are based on solid-state devices in Mains Extension Socket which WO3 and NiOx films commonly serve as the EC and counter electrode layers, respectively.These metal oxide layers are typically physically deposited under vacuum, a time- and capital-intensive process when using rigid substrates.Herein we report a facile solution deposition method for producing amorphous WO3 and NiOx layers that prove to be effective materials for a solid-state EC device.The full device containing these solution-processed layers demonstrates performance metrics that meet or exceed the benchmark set by devices containing physically deposited layers of the 3 Piece Queen Panel Bed same compositions.

The superior EC performance measured for our devices is attributed to the amorphous nature of the NiOx produced by the solution-based photodeposition method, which yields a more effective ion storage counter electrode relative to the crystalline NiOx layers that are more widely used.This versatile method yields a distinctive approach for constructing EC windows.: Materials Science; Coatings; Energy Materials Subject Areas: materials science, coatings, energy materials.
