Abstract

Electro-optical properties of thin films of hydrated transition metal oxides, WO3 2(H2O) and WO3 1/3(H2O), have been investigated in situ using photoelectrochemical methods. These films can reversibly change their light absorption in the near IR region due to the double charge injection upon the applied electric field in electrolyte media. Taking into account the high stability and fast switching time, these hydrated tungsten oxide films can be utilized for efficient light modulation in the near infrared region of the spectrum.
