Synthesis of thin-film layers of electrochromic panels based on SnO2 and WO3 by aerosol pyrolysis

Energy efficiency and energy saving are actively developing. One of the promising areas of optoelectronics is the improvement of electrochromic panels or smart glasses. Smart glasses are divided into electrochromic, thermochromic and photochromic. The devices incorporate thin-film structures that are transparent conductive oxide (TCO) and transition metal oxide (TMO). An urgent scientific task is a systematic comprehensive study of the parameters of specified thin films, as well as the improvement of methods for their synthesis to obtain coatings with specified properties. A promising and most suitable method for the synthesis of the above-listed coatings is the method of aerosol pyrolysis, which has a number of advantages: ease of implementation and the possibility of embedding into the finished technological process while maintaining the coating quality. The article analyzes the results of the study of the following coatings parameters: the efficiency of coloring; TMO response time; the TCO throughput and conductivity.
