By anodization of tungsten in acid solutions, oxide films were obtained Whose compositio,n depended on the working temperature. In particular, the composition .of the films was WO~ at 25 ~ and 50~ but WO3 9 H20 at 70~ Studies of electrochromism in these films seem to show that the electro coloration occurs with different mechanisms according to the oxide chemical composition. For WO3 films the coloration is due to a simultaneous injection of electrons and H + ions with formation of hydrogen tungsten bronzes H=WO3. For W~ 9 H20 films the coloration could occur as a result of the injection of electrons and oxygen ion vacancies with formation of blue oxide hydrate WO~-= 9 H~O.
