摘要: Abstract An investigation was conducted on electrochromic properties of WO3 − z (tungsten oxide) thin films sputtered 60 Ω/□ flexible PET (polyethylene terephthalate)/ITO (indium tin substrates at various oxygen flow rates. A metallic W target, by radio frequency (r.f.) power with argon gases and reacted room temperature (23 °C), proven to provide extraordinary properties. Cyclic voltammetry measurement demonstrated that only low driving voltages from − 1 V 1 V were needed Li+ ion insertion extraction a working electrode. The PET/ITO/WO3 − z film mounted the electrode dipped in 0.1 M LiClO4–PC (propylene carbonate) electrolyte. investigated cyclic potentiostatic switching ultraviolet (UV)–visible spectroscopy. rate 0.71 sccm O/W-ratio 2.916, an deficiency z 0.084 coefficient x 0.150 can offer excellent light modulation up 73.1% transmittance variation, optical density change 0.89 color efficiency 62.4 cm2/C wavelength 650 nm 14 s extraction.
