Photometric characterization of an all solid state inorganic electrochromic large area device

All inorganic thin film electrochromic device using LiPON as the ion conductor

“…All these electrochemical and optical results are among the best reported in the literature [9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18] and suggest a great potential of LiPON as ion conductor in electrochromic devices.…”

“…Moreover, some studies in the literature reported that during the deposition of a monolithic all thin film electrochromic device, there is a probability of interactions between the depositing and the deposited layers [14,[27][28][29]. In plasma processes, plasma ions and electrons generate electrical fields on or near the exposed device surface, which may result in migration of lithium ions within the electrochromic device layers and from the underlying layers to the exposed surface of the device.…”

“…Furthermore, lithium ion migration during plasma processes may cause a non-uniform surface charge density and a partial extraction of injected charges from the electrochromic structure, all of which reduce device performance. The modification of the total inserted charge may induce a degradation of the device optical properties (optical modulation, optical density) and the coloration cycling reversibility [14,30].…”

“…Moreover, the ion conducting layer should have a high optical transmittance in the considered spectral range. Table 1 covers selected works on reported results for Li þ based all thin film inorganic electrochromic devices integrating different ion conducting layers [9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18].…”

Integrated smart electrochromic windows for energy saving and storage applications

“…By controlling the amount of transmitted light and heat radiation, the ECSW can use sunlight and control the interior energy exchange more effectively and thus greatly reduce energy consumption, lighting expenses and cooling/heating loads, which has great potential for application in intelligent buildings, car roofs and the aerospace field. [8][9][10][11][12][13][14] With multifunctional energy performance, highly integrated energy systems have recently sparked interest worldwide, among which the self-powered integrated energy system is one of the most significant systems. For example, Wang et al designed a series of selfpowered systems driven by nanogenerators, including the selfpowered EC device, water splitting systems and sensors.…”
