Abstract
The development of electrochromic materials with high optical modulation and good cycling stability is a key focus in dual-band electrochromism. Hydrated tungsten oxide exhibits dynamic and independent control over the near-infrared and visible transmittance within the solar spectrum, garnering widespread attention in electrochromic applications. However, its optical modulation and cycling stability need further enhancement due to limited ion diffusion kinetics. Herein, a simple photo-deposition method is developed for synthesizing mesoporous WO3·H2O films, characterized by high porosity and large surface area, which facilitates ion and electron transport within the films. Experimental results show that mesoporous WO3·H2O can achieve three functional modes under different voltages: “bright”, “cold”, and “dark”. Compared to WO3·H2O nanoplates, mesoporous WO3·H2O electrode enables a superior dual-band electrochromic performance, including high optical modulation (74.1 % at 700 nm and 65.9 % at 1150 nm), rapid response times (13.5 s for coloring and 11.5 s for bleaching), high coloring efficiencies (138.9 cm2/C), and excellent cycling stability (optical modulation retention rate of 88.2 % after 1000 cycles). This research provides a novel approach to enhancing dual-band electrochromic performance through the incorporation of mesoporosity in materials.
期刊介绍：
Ceramics International covers the science of advanced ceramic materials. The journal encourages contributions that demonstrate how an understanding of the basic chemical and physical phenomena may direct materials design and stimulate ideas for new or improved processing techniques, in order to obtain materials with desired structural features and properties.
Ceramics International covers oxide and non-oxide ceramics, functional glasses, glass ceramics, amorphous inorganic non-metallic materials (and their combinations with metal and organic materials), in the form of particulates, dense or porous bodies, thin/thick films and laminated, graded and composite structures. Process related topics such as ceramic-ceramic joints or joining ceramics with dissimilar materials, as well as surface finishing and conditioning are also covered. Besides traditional processing techniques, manufacturing routes of interest include innovative procedures benefiting from externally applied stresses, electromagnetic fields and energetic beams, as well as top-down and self-assembly nanotechnology approaches. In addition, the journal welcomes submissions on bio-inspired and bio-enabled materials designs, experimentally validated multi scale modelling and simulation for materials design, and the use of the most advanced chemical and physical characterization techniques of structure, properties and behaviour.
Technologically relevant low-dimensional systems are a particular focus of Ceramics International. These include 0, 1 and 2-D nanomaterials (also covering CNTs, graphene and related materials, and diamond-like carbons), their nanocomposites, as well as nano-hybrids and hierarchical multifunctional nanostructures that might integrate molecular, biological and electronic components.
