Conducting polymers: a comprehensive review on recent advances in synthesis, properties and applications

“…Electrochromic cells, 106 LCDs and electrochromic smart widows are the main applications of electrochromic materials. 107 …”

Anion Doping of Tungsten Oxide with Nitrogen: Reactive Magnetron Synthesis, Crystal Structure, Valence Composition, and Optical Properties

“…Electrochromism of inorganic oxide materials is a phenomenon in which the transparency as well as the color of the material change due to the reversible ion intercalation under the influence of an applied voltage (see [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8] and references therein). This phenomenon has been known for a long time [9] and has prospects for use in architectural glazing, interior design, and the automotive industry (see [10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17] and references therein); however, it has not yet found mass application, since electrochromic products require long-term stability of many parameters in sometimes harsh operating conditions: high and low temperatures with large gradients, intense exposure to direct sunlight for a long time, etc. Therefore, electrochromic glass is more or less regularly used in the form of rear-view mirrors inside the interior of some brands of cars, window shutters of some aircrafts, etc.…”

Evaluation of Low-Voltage-Driven Multi-Colored Electrochromic Device Based on Dry-Deposited V2o5

“…Representative electrochromic materials are the oxides of transition metals, such as tungsten, iridium, rhodium, ruthenium, manganese, cobalt, nickel, and vanadium [8,9]. The color, transmittance, and reflectivity can be adjusted according to the structure, characteristics, and electrolyte type of each material.…”

“…Exceptionally, vanadium oxide (V2O5) is a bifunctional electrochromic material that can function as both cathodic and anodic electrochromic materials [8,9]. Owing to its exceptional catalytic, electrical, optical, and magnetic properties, V2O5 is a promising candidate for applications in solar cells [10,11], energy storage devices [12][13][14][15], and ECDs [16,17].…”
