Yellow tungsten oxide electrochromic glass, which is more often known as WO3 electrochromic glass, is considered to be the most promising energy-saving smart glass for large-scale commercial production. Wherein, WO3 is showing in the form of an electrochromic film, which is an important material for the electrochromic layer of electrochromic glass.

Yellow tungsten oxide nanorods for application in electrochromic film are WO3 nanorods that can be synthesized by solvothermal method. For example, some experts have synthesized monodisperse tungsten oxide nanorods by solvothermal method. Wherein, the experts prepared tungsten oxide nanorods of different size by adjusting the concentration of oleylamine in the precursor, and the size of the nanorods increased from 38nm x 3.2nm to 89nm x 4.5nm. Then, the WO3 nanorods electrochromic film was constructed by heat treatment at a certain temperature.

When it comes to the phenomenon of electrochromism, many people think of yellow tungsten oxide film (WO3 film) - an earliest and most studied inorganic electrochromic film material. Well, do you know what the electrochromic mechanism of crystalline WO3 film is? And what is the electrochromic mechanism of amorphous WO3 film?

Electrochromism refers to the phenomenon that optical properties such as transmittance and absorption of electrochromic materials undergo a stable and reversible color change under the action of an applied electric field. It means that electrochromism can occur in yellow tungsten oxide nanocrystalline composite film - an electrochromic material.
