A Review on Physical Properties of Usable Oxide Complexes in Electrochromic Applications

The use of modern technologies to achieve greater comfort, efficiency, and saving in energy consumption is at the concern of researchers. Electrochromism has been used as a green technology. The color of electrochromic materials is changed by appling a voltage to the electrochromic device. Indeed this materials can tune the transmittance of the device by change the applied bias to it. In this paper, the general structure of an electrochromic device based on the metal oxides and important physical properties has been studied to select oxide compounds for electrochromic applications. Then, optical behaviors of WO3 and NiO has been investigated as one of the best electrochromic candidates. The datas related to foil type nanostructure also has been expressed.
