Electrochromic and optical studies on Nb2O5-NiO mixed oxide films for smart window applications

S. Santhosh et al.

Summary: Nickel oxide (NiO), niobium oxide (Nb2O5), and their mixed oxide (Nb2O5-NiO) coatings were prepared on glass and conducting glass substrates by a simple spin coating technique. The mixed oxide films exhibited transparency, while Li+ intercalated Nb2O5-NiO coatings were black in color. The Nb2O5-NiO coatings showed superior electrochromic reversibility and fast switching compared to individual oxide coatings. The Li-Nb2O5-NiO coatings exhibited effective infrared (IR) absorption, absorbing around 65% of the incident IR radiation, and the remaining radiation was allowed to pass through the coating. Laser treatment of the Li-Nb2O5-NiO coatings improved their IR reflectance due to enhanced surface roughness, resulting in a better IR blocking window.

Dingli Liang et al.

Summary: Inserting a conjugated bridge between the two pyridinium units of the viologen is an effective approach to tuning the colorations of the viologen derivatives.
