Dip-coated TiO2CeO2 films as transparent counter-electrode for transmissive electrochromic devices

Abstract

The dip-coating process is an attractive way for the preparation of thin films used in the field of electrochromism. The scope of the present paper is focused on the TiO2CeO2 compounds since they exhibit a reversible electrochemical insertion of lithium ions maintaining a high optical transmissivity. These films can be used as transparent counter-electrode in an all solid state electrochromic transmissive device with, for example, WO3 as electrochromic material and a lithium conductive polymer as electrolyte. © 1990.
