Abstract

The choice of cathode and anode materials for electrochromic devices plays a key role in the performance of electrochromic smart windows. In this research, WO₃/Ag and TiO₂/NiO composite thin films were separately prepared by the hydrothermal method combined with electrodeposition. The electrochromic properties of the single WO₃ thin film were optimized, and TiO₂/NiO composite films showed better electrochromic performance than that of the single NiO film. WO₃/Ag and TiO₂/NiO composite films with excellent electrochromic properties were respectively chosen as the cathode and the anode to construct a WO₃/Ag-TiO₂/NiO electrochromic device. The response time (t_c = 4.08 s, t_b = 1.08 s), optical modulation range (35.91%), and coloration efficiency (30.37 cm²·C⁻¹) of this electrochromic device are better than those of WO₃-NiO and WO₃/Ag-NiO electrochromic devices. This work provides a novel research idea for the performance enhancement of electrochromic smart windows.

用 WO3/Ag 和 TiO2/NiO 复合电极组装的高性能电致变色装置，可用于智能窗户

电致变色装置阴极和阳极材料的选择对电致变色智能窗的性能起着关键作用。本研究采用水热法结合电沉积法分别制备了 WO3/Ag 和 TiO2/NiO 复合薄膜。对单一 WO3 薄膜的电致变色性能进行了优化，TiO2/NiO 复合薄膜的电致变色性能优于单一 NiO 薄膜。分别选择电致变色性能优异的 WO3/Ag 和 TiO2/NiO 复合薄膜作为阴极和阳极，构建了 WO3/Ag-TiO2/NiO 电致变色装置。该电致变色装置的响应时间（tc = 4.08 s，tb = 1.08 s）、光调制范围（35.91%）和着色效率（30.37 cm2-C-1）均优于 WO3-NiO 和 WO3/Ag-NiO 电致变色装置。这项工作为提高电致变色智能窗的性能提供了一种新的研究思路。
