dc.description.abstractThin films of electrochromic (EC) W oxide were prepared by reactive DC magnetron sputtering and were immersed in electrolytes of LiClO4 in propylene carbonate with 0.5-3.0 wt% of added polyethylene oxide (PEO). Charge density and optical modulation range were found to diminish monotonically upon prolonged voltammetric cycling with concurrent optical transmittance measurements for up to 500 and 200 cycles in the voltage ranges 2.0-4.0 and 1.5-4.0 V vs. Li/Li+, respectively. Rejuvenation of the degraded EC films was then accomplished by potentiostatic treatment at 6.0 V vs. Li/Li+ for 20 h and has been ascribed to expulsion of trapped Li ions. Importantly, degradation subsequent to rejuvenation was found to progress at a significantly lowered pace than for as-deposited films in proportion with the amount of PEO especially for harsh voltammetric cycling in the voltage range 1.5-4.0 V vs. Li/Li+. The results of this explorative study are of considerable value for the development of highly durable EC devices such as polymer-laminated smart glazing for energy efficient buildings with excellent indoor comfort.en_US
