Li-Ion-Trapping-Induced Degradation Mechanism of Colored State in Tungsten Oxide Electrochromic Films
JOURNAL OF THE ELECTROCHEMICAL SOCIETY(2021)
摘要
Aiming to investigate the degradation mechanism of their colored states, tungsten oxide films with different oxygen/tungsten ratio were prepared by direct current reactive magnetron sputtering through adjusting the oxygen partial pressure. After a long-term cycling test, the sample prepared under low oxygen partial pressure (LO#) showed an excellent cycle stability which its optical modulation amplitude remains stable at 23.6%, while the one prepared under high oxygen partial pressure (HO#) exhibited an obvious degradation process of the colored state, leading to the optical modulation amplitude decreased from 34.0% to 18.6% accompanied with a decay of ionic diffusion coefficient and electrode potential, but having an improved coloration efficiency. Combined with various structural characterizations, including SEM, LA-ICP-MS, Raman and XPS, we demonstrate such colored state degradation is attributed to the so-called shallow trap, which corresponds to the irreversible and non-coloring reaction with interstitial oxygen during the insertion of Li+ cations forming superoxides (e.g. LiO2). All these findings not only offer a new insight into the improvement of cyclic stability based on ion-exchange, but also provide a valued information to understanding the physicochemical mechanisms of degradation in electrochromic materials.
