Study of materials for electrochromic devices: physical and chemical methods

Abstract

The methods of producing and investigation of electro-chromically-sensitive thin films of tungsten oxide bronzes have been considered in peer-review. The researches allowing one to make deductions on the particular models of the physical process laying in the basis of the electrochrome effect have been described in detail. The most important problems of the further studies on the complex oxides of the transition metals for obtaining applied results capable to start the highly effective technology of the electrochrome devises have been formulated.
