摘要
The durability of mesoporous films comprised of tungsten oxide nanoparticles was studied by monitoring their electrochromic performance during extended cycling in lithium perchlorate solution. Standard films rapidly lost charge capacity as nanoparticles detached from the film and were lost to solution. This issue was mitigated through the use of protection layers including evaporated LiAlF4 and alumina applied by atomic layer deposition (ALD). Three ALD cycles offered superior protection to 100 nm of LiAlF4, enabling >2500 cycles with no appreciable change in electrochromic performance. Moreover, the addition of these protection layers did not degrade the switching time as evidenced by their transient response to potential step changes. (C) 2012 The Electrochemical Society.
