  • Electrodeposition of WO3 onto TiO2 nanotubes.
  • Detachment and transfer of WO3/TiO2 nanostructures onto FTO glass using a TiO2 nanoparticle paste adhesion layer.
  • Characterization of EC performance, including ion storage, stability, contrast, and memory time.

Main Results:

  • A TiO2 nanoparticle paste effectively facilitates adhesion of the WO3/TiO2 NT composite to FTO glass.
  • The composite WO3/TiO2 nanostructures exhibit superior ion storage capacity compared to pure WO3 or TiO2.
  • Enhanced electrochromic contrast and longer memory times were observed for the composite material.

Conclusions:

  • The developed WO3/TiO2 nanotube composite material shows significant promise for advanced electrochromic devices.
  • Optimized adhesion and material composition lead to enhanced EC performance and stability.
  • This nanostructure offers a viable pathway for next-generation smart window technologies.
