Abstract

The present paper study electrochromic films of nanocrystalline tungsten oxide (VI) by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. Electrochromic films were obtained using the simplified technique of deposition of tungsten (VI) oxide from an aqueous dispersion on surface of transparent electrode In2O3. To obtain a uniform composition, the aqueous dispersion was treated with ultrasonic radiation, while the average particle size of tungsten oxide in the dispersion volume was from 30 to 70 nm. The prepared films had an amorphous structure and a crystalline structure was obtained by pyrolysis at a temperature of 250, 300, and 400 °C corresponding to different samples. The obtained nanocrystalline films were studied by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy in the frequency range from 1 to 106 Hz with an amplitude of an alternating voltage of 10 mV to determine the effect of temperature on the impedance of the films. The analysis data allowed us to determine the dependence of electrical conductivity on the volume of grains and the boundaries between crystals on the influence of temperatures on the structure properties of electrochromic films of nanocrystalline tungsten (VI) oxide.
