- Description
- In this work, Cerium oxide nanorods were synthesized on Fluorine doped Tin oxide (FTO) substrate by a hydrothermal technique involving Ce(NO3)36H2O (Cerium Nitrate Hexahydrate) and CH4N2O (Urea). The DC magnetron sputtering was used to deposit a thin layer of WO3 on Cerium Oxide nanorods in the presence of argon gas at room temperature. With the prepared CeO2/WO3 thin films as the working electrode, saturated AgCl2 as the reference electrode, and platinum mesh as the counter electrode, a three-electrode electrochemical cell was developed with 0.5 M H2SO4 solution diluted in deionized (DI) water as the electrolyte. The electrochromic studies displayed a coloration efficiency of 10.14 cm2/C for 0.1 M film. SEM, UVVisible, XRD, and electrochemical analyzer were used to investigate the surface morphology, optical properties, composition, and electrochromic performance of the prepared thin films. A combination of CeO2 nanorods and WO3 coating has been proved to be a potential material for Electro Chromic Devices (ECD), because of its large charge capacity and optical transmission behavior. 2022 Elsevier B.V.
