Abstract
Ca-Mg co-doped V2O5 films were synthesized via hydrothermal-assisted sol-gel method. Single-doped films (10 mol% Ca or Mg) outperformed undoped V2O5, with 10Ca-V2O5 exhibiting superior ion storage capacity (102.87 mC/cm2) and 10Mg-V2O5 showing better optical modulation (ΔT). Co-doping at fixed 10 mol% total concentration created synergistic effects: Ca expanded the lattice for enhanced Li+ storage while Mg improved charge transfer kinetics, with their combination yielding optimal porosity for electrolyte penetration. 2Ca-8Mg-V2O5 films demonstrated particularly efficient Li+ diffusion and fast response (5.3 s coloring/3.7 s bleaching). Response surface methodology optimization revealed heat treatment temperature (346 °C) as the most influential parameter, followed by Ca (2.1 mol%) and Mg (7.8 mol%) contents. The optimized film achieved remarkable performance metrics: 57.4% ΔT, 102.87 mC/cm2 capacity, and rapid switching, representing a 35% improvement over single-doped counterparts. These results demonstrate how strategic cation co-doping can simultaneously enhance multiple electrochromic properties through complementary structural and electronic modifications.
期刊介绍:
The primary objective of the Journal of Sol-Gel Science and Technology (JSST), the official journal of the International Sol-Gel Society, is to provide an international forum for the dissemination of scientific, technological, and general knowledge about materials processed by chemical nanotechnologies known as the "sol-gel" process. The materials of interest include gels, gel-derived glasses, ceramics in form of nano- and micro-powders, bulk, fibres, thin films and coatings as well as more recent materials such as hybrid organic-inorganic materials and composites. Such materials exhibit a wide range of optical, electronic, magnetic, chemical, environmental, and biomedical properties and functionalities. Methods for producing sol-gel-derived materials and the industrial uses of these materials are also of great interest.
