Electrochromic smart windows with co-intercalation of cations and anions for multi-band regulations

Co-intercalation of cations and anions is found in an electrochromic device combining Nb₁₈W₁₆O₉₃ and Prussian blue films. The intercalation/deintercalation of anions in Prussian blue is confirmed first.

Capturing ion trapping and detrapping dynamics in electrochromic thin films

Ion trapping has been found to be responsible for the performance degradation in electrochromic oxide thin films. This paper visualizes ion trapping and detrapping dynamics, and provides a general picture of electrochromism in amorphous WO₃.

Eliminating degradation and uncovering ion-trapping dynamics in electrochromic WO₃ thin films

Although WO₃ thin films are promising as electrodes for electrochromic devices, they suffer from degradation of optical modulation. Ion-trapping-induced degradation can now be successfully eliminated by constant-current-driven de-trapping.

Controlled formation of three-dimensional cavities during lateral epitaxial growth

Substrate patterning offers additional degrees of freedom to engineer the structure and function of a semiconductor device. Here, fully-enclosed germanium cavities, with size and position tunable through the initial mask pattern, can be created through an unexpected self-assembly process.
