Tungsten oxide electrochromism refers to the reversible color change phenomenon of tungsten oxide materials under the action of an external electric field. This phenomenon is due to the electrochromic properties of the tungsten oxide material under electric field stimulation. In general, tungsten oxide is a colorless or slightly yellow material, but under certain conditions, such as applying an external electric field or voltage, the color of tungsten oxide material will change reversibly, showing blue or dark blue. This change is due to charge redistribution and electron transitions caused by the action of the electric field.
Specifically, the electrons in tungsten oxide rearrange when an electric field is applied, changing the energy level distribution of the electrons. Under the action of a positive electric field (anode), electrons will transition from the conduction band of the tungsten oxide crystal to the empty state in the bandgap, absorbing a part of the light in the visible spectrum range, showing a blue hue . Under the action of the reverse electric field (cathode), the electrons will jump back from the empty state in the forbidden band to the conduction band, resulting in the weakening or disappearance of light absorption, making the material appear original colorless or yellow.
The electrochromic phenomenon of tungsten oxide makes it potential for application in electrochromic devices and optical devices. For example, tungsten oxide can be used to manufacture smart windows, displays, and light modulators, etc., by controlling the external electric field to adjust the transmittance and color of light to achieve light adjustment and control. The electrochromic effect of tungsten oxide is affected by many factors, including the crystal structure of tungsten oxide, doping substances, electric field strength and so on. Therefore, in practical applications, these factors need to be considered comprehensively, and proper design and optimization should be carried out to achieve the desired electrochromic effect.
