Scientists Collaborate to Quantitatively Assess the Irreversibility of LixWO3 Thin Films

Electrochromic (EC) materials, one of the key "green" technological components for sustainability and energy savings, have piqued the interest of academia and industry alike. Tungsten oxide (WO3) is among the most extensively researched EC materials that is widely used in today's "smart windows." One popular EC approach is the reversible insertion of small ions into electrode materials.
