Abstract
In the present work, we report on the formation of mesoporous thick tungsten trioxide films grown on tungsten foil by anodization in fluoride containing concentrated phosphoric acid (85%) electrolyte. Under optimized experimental conditions, mesoporous WO 3 films with a thickness up to approximately 2 μm are formed. SEM shows the films to consist of a connected network with a typical pore and feature diameter of ca 50 nm. These films as formed are amorphous and can be annealed to orthorhombic WO 3 structure. These thick porous films can show significant enhanced electrochromic and improved photocatalytic properties.
