Abstract
Electrochromic titanium oxide (TiO2) films were deposited on ITO/glass substrates by chemical solution deposition (CSD). The stock solutions were spin-coated onto substrates and then heated at various temperatures (200–500 °C) in various oxygen concentrations (0–80%) for 10 min. The effects of the processing parameters on the electrochromic properties of TiO2 films were investigated. X-ray diffraction measurements demonstrated that the amorphous TiO2 films were crystallized to form anatase films above 400 °C. The electrochromic properties and transmittance of TiO2 films were measured in 1 M LiClO4–propylene carbonate (PC) non-aqueous electrolyte. An amorphous 350 nm-thick TiO2 film that was heated at 300°C in 60% ambient oxygen exhibited the maximum transmittance variation (ΔT%), 14.2%, between the bleached state and the colored state, with a ΔOD of 0.087, Q of 10.9 mC/cm2, η of 7.98 cm2/C and x in Li x ClO4 of 0.076 at a wavelength (λ) of 550 nm.
