Paper presents the most common materials for nanostructured inorganic electrochromic coatings, describes the methods of their formation. The prospects for the use of electrochromic materials in various industries – construction, auto and aircraft construction are considered. The analysis of modern methods for the formation of nanostructured electrochromic materials used in various fields of science and technology is presented. The prospects for the use of tungsten oxide, as well as the possibility of its modification in order to improve its functional electrochromic properties, are shown.
We demonstrate the engineering procedures governing the development of inkjet printable metal oxide nanoparticles for electrochromic applications with an effectively improved opto-electrochemical response.
A new self-powered quasi-solid-state ECD with a simplified bilayer film configuration shows high flexibility and excellent color switching performance without external power supply. Its application in optical information encryption is demonstrated.
