Abstract
Electrochromic (EC) smart windows are a type of glass window that can change from transparent to darker colour shades when a small voltage is applied. Titanium dioxide (TiO2) can be utilised as an EC material for EC smart windows. Although the TiO2 sol-gel spin-coating method is commonly used, the effect of the number of TiO2 layers was not reported. Thus, this paper investigates the effect of the number of TiO2layers. The increasing number of TiO2film layers demonstrated a noticeable increase in the thin films ‘anodic and cathodic diffusion coefficient, particularly with 11 TiO2layers. Additionally, the colouration and bleaching time was revealed to have a low correlation as the number of layers increased. Nonetheless, the lower number of TiO2layers resulted in lower colouring transmittance. Comparatively, the colouration efficiency for all films did not exhibit any significant change. Hence this study on the effect of the TiO2layering technique can open a new pathway in understanding the EC properties of TiO2-based EC devices.
