The electrochromism of tungsten oxide (WO₃) refers to the phenomenon that the color of tungsten oxide material changes reversibly under the action of an external electric field or current.
Tungsten oxide has special optical properties, and its transition between different oxidation states causes a color change. When tungsten oxide is in a low oxidation state (such as WO₃), it appears yellow or light blue. When tungsten oxide is oxidized to a high oxidation state (such as WO₃-x), its color changes, showing dark blue, purple or even black.
In the electrochromic process, an applied electric field or current can change the oxidation state of tungsten oxide, thereby causing a color change. When an electric field or current is applied, the charges in tungsten oxide rearrange, causing a change in oxidation state. This electrochromism is reversible, meaning that when the electric field or current is removed, tungsten oxide returns to its original oxidation state and color.
The electrochromic properties of tungsten oxide make it potentially useful in many applications. For example, tungsten oxide electrochromic materials can be used in electronic displays, dimmable windows, smart glasses and other fields. By adjusting the magnitude and direction of the applied electric field or current, the color change of the tungsten oxide material can be precisely controlled, and the function switching and controllability of the optical device can be realized.
It should be pointed out that the electrochromic mechanism of tungsten oxide is a complex process involving multiple factors such as charge transport, ion migration, and lattice change. Therefore, further research and understanding of the electrochromic mechanism is of great significance for optimizing the performance and application of tungsten oxide electrochromic materials.
