Cobalt oxide thin films were prepared by a facile spray pyrolysis technique, using a perfume atomizer with an aqueous solution of hydrated cobalt chloride salt with a molar concentration of 0.025 M as a source of cobalt. The films were deposited onto glass substrates at temperature of 350 degrees C. The structural, morphological, and electrochromic properties of the obtained films were studied. It was found from X-ray diffraction analysis that the films were polycrystalline in nature with spinel-type cubic structure and preferred orientation along [111] direction. The Scanning Electron Microscopy images revealed a porous structure with the average grain size around 200 nm. The cyclic voltammetry measurements revealed that Cobalt oxide thin film is an anodically coloring electrochromic material with a transmittance variation in the visible range of 31%, and a fast response time (about 2 seconds) and a good cycling stability. These electrochromic performances make cobalt oxide thin film an attractive material for using as an anodic electrochromic material in smart windows devices. The photoluminescence spectra exhibited a strong emission in the visible region confirming the good crystallinity properties of Co3O4 thin films.
