Tailoring TiO2 Films: The Path to Superior Electrochromic Performance

“…Besides the damage, it also exhibits portions of agglomerated points (Figure 2(d)), similar to those observed by Leftheriotis and Yianoulisa [50]. The crack morphology observed in TiO 2 films facilitates the easy penetration of electrolyte ions within the film, making the film more favorable for efficient ion diffusion during intercalation and deintercalation [51]. The present study may conclude that the crack morphology is obtained due to the tensile stress applied by a more viscous solvent (PG) on TiO 2 nanoparticles.…”

“…According to FE-SEM images (Figure 8), growth rate of TiO 2 decreases as pH increases from acidic to basic. The crack morphology observed in TA enables the easy penetration of electrolyte ions within the film, making the film more favorable for efficient ion diffusion during intercalation and deintercalation, as confirmed by electrochemical analysis [49][50][51].…”

“…In a current study, we undertook comprehensive stability testing on a TiO 2 film, employing a 0.5 M LiClO 4 -PC electrolyte. The testing was carried out over a defined potential range of −2.0 to +1.0 V versus an Ag/AgCl (Figure 14) [51]. The results of our investigation revealed a remarkable outcome: the TiO 2 film exhibited a level of stability that greatly surpassed expectations.…”

“…This heightened ΔOD is attributed to the crystalline nature of the T A nanostructures, which possess an extensive active surface area and a favorable crack morphology. As a result, the acidic medium is established as advantageous for the development of the anatase phase, thereby enhancing the EC properties, particularly the noteworthy improvement in CE compared to other crystalline systems [51]. In the present study, the T A film demonstrates the highest percentage change in transmittance modulation of 17 Tailoring TiO 2 Films: The Path to Superior Electrochromic Performance DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.5772/intechopen.1004236 CE value for the T A film surpasses those documented in previous literature [28,34,38,40], reaching levels comparable to CE values attained through alternative methodologies [42].…”

3D marigold flowers of copper–nickel oxide composite materials as a positive electrode for high-performance hybrid supercapacitors

“…The SS (*) substrate is indicated by the two emerging peaks at 44.601 and 50.771. 27,28 Similarly, Zhang et al reported that the (hkl) of all the peaks are well matched with JCPDS card number 25-1067 for Cu-Ni oxide nanomaterials. 29 The crystallite size was estimated using Scherrer's relation, 29 with the values of 8.40, 6.54 and 5.53 nm along with (111) orientation peak for the VR 1 , VR 2 , and VR 3 samples, respectively.…”
