WO 3 has emerged as one of the most extensively studied materials because its gasochromic effect can be used for smart window and gas sensor; currently it is widely used in many energy conservation areas. Compared with other preparations methods for gasoschromic films, sol-gel process shows several advantages, such as low cost and large-scale applications. However, sol-gel WO 3 films were not stable enough for commercial application yet. In this paper, we first investigated the effect of SiO 2 doping, which exhibited good enhancement of WO 3 gasochromic films' stability. We also examined the relationship between SiO 2 ratio and stability of WO 3 /SiO 2 films. An empirical formula was established by fitting exponential decay of the coloring-bleaching cycles for four different Si/W ratios.
