Journal of Inorganic Materials· Volume 36· Issue 2

Abstract

The dynamic process of ions transport in electrochromic WO 3 film is usually studied by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. However, the detailed features are hidden since the ions insertion into WO 3 is a very complex process including structural deformation and phase transformations. Chronopotentiometry is an electrochemical characterization method that measures the response potential of a system under an imposed current.
