Abstract

Amorphous tungsten oxide films of high electrochromic efficiency were produced by a chemical vapor deposition technique in which the precursors of film formation are generated at the surface of a heated tungsten filament by reactions of tungsten with oxygen. The film deposition rate was determined as a function of the filament temperature and oxygen pressure. Molecular structure investigations using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy revealed that the tungsten oxide was in the WO 3 stoichiometry. The electrochromic properties of the films were studied for Li + intercalation. Optical efficiencies as high as 78 and 125 cm 2 /C at 632.8 and 950 nm, respectively, and absorbance changes from 0.07 to 1.1 were measured between the bleached and the colored states at 632.8 nm.
