The kinetic behaviour of ion transport in WO3 based films produced by sputter and sol-gel deposition: Part I. The simulation model
This paper develops a new simulation model for charge injection and extraction in electrochromic WO3 films under conditions of constant current during the charge injection process, The model is applied to the constant current coloration and bleaching of electrochromic films, and values for the diffusion coefficient and other model parameters have been obtained by fitting the model to experimental data. Application of the model to coloration and bleaching of electrochromic devices is discussed, in particular the use of the model in the design of electrochromic switching schemes,
