Hydrothermally grown nanoflowered WO
3
thin films on etched ITO for electrochromic studies

Abstract:
Herein, we present, for a first time, an electrochromic film of WO
3
fabricated on a ITO by etching process, adopting a
low-cost, facile and template-free fabrication process. By using hydrothermal method, we obtained WO
3
films with a simplified
architechture (ITO/HCl/WO
3
) in which HCl supports WO
3
to form adhesive layer. Compared to ITO/WO
3
configuration, the ITO/
HCl/WO
3
configuration exhibited a strong enhancement in terms of roughness, porosity, open-tunnel structure, current density and
coloration efficiency (about 179cm
2
C
-1
). Moreover, electro-optical characterization illustrates high transmittance modulation (about
49% at 630 nm) with excellent stability, making it attractive for a practical application.
