For electrochromic applications, binders are frequently employed to appropriately affix thin films to transparent conductive substrates like fluorine and indium-doped tin oxide glass plates (FTO and ITO) and stainless steel (SS). The different WO3 nanostructure materials are specifically formed using a variety of chemical and physical processes, but WO3 thin films are not sticky on the substrates without etching. Hence in the present research article, the nanostructured WO3 thin films were effectively deposited using straightforward, affordable anodic electrodeposition procedures on a variety of substrates, including ITO, FTO, and SS, without etching. The XRD analysis confirmed that the nanostructured WO3 materials exhibit amorphous nature (a-WO3). The uniformly deposited a-WO3 film shows the cracked morphological structures. The deposited a-WO3 film was confirmed by FTIR analysis. The nanostructured a-WO3 exhibits excellent electrochromic properties with the highest coloration efficiency (CE) on the FTO 191.4 cm2C-1 at 633 nm wavelength. The fastest electrochromic coloration (1.22 s) and bleaching (1.29 s) response time of nanostructured a-WO3 are observed on FTO substrates, respectively. The cycling stability of electrochromic a-WO3 was shown to be good up to 3000 cycles on FTO substrate.

通过电沉积在 FTO、ITO 和不锈钢上无粘合剂室温合成非晶 WO3 薄膜用于电致变色应用
对于电致变色应用,经常使用粘合剂将薄膜适当地固定到透明导电基板上,例如掺氟和掺铟的氧化锡玻璃板(FTO 和 ITO)和不锈钢 (SS)。不同的WO 3纳米结构材料是使用各种化学和物理过程专门形成的,但WO 3薄膜在没有蚀刻的情况下不会粘附在基板上。因此,在本研究文章中,纳米结构 WO 3薄膜使用简单、经济的阳极电沉积程序在各种基材(包括 ITO、FTO 和 SS)上有效沉积,无需蚀刻。XRD分析证实纳米结构的WO 3材料表现出无定形性质 (a-WO 3 )。均匀沉积的a-WO 3薄膜显示出裂纹形貌结构。通过FTIR分析确认沉积的a-WO 3膜。纳米结构的 a-WO 3在 FTO 191.4 cm 2 C -1在 633 nm 波长处表现出优异的电致变色性能和最高的着色效率 (CE) 。分别在 FTO 基板上观察到纳米结构 a-WO 3的最快电致变色响应时间 (1.22 s) 和漂白响应时间 (1.29 s) 。电致变色 a-WO 3的循环稳定性在 FTO 基板上显示良好,高达 3000 次循环。
