Tungsten oxide thin films were prepared using an ethanolic solution of tungsten hexachloride (WCl6) by sol-gel spin coating. The films were spin coated on indium tin oxide (ITO) coated glass substrate at temperatures in the range of 100 to 450 degree(s)C. The films were characterized by x-ray diffractometry (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) UV- visible spectroscopy and cyclic voltammetry (CV). XRD showed that they had a polycrystalline WO3 structure for heat treatment temperatures at above 350 degree(s)C. The SEM examinations showed that the surface texture was very uniform and homogeneous. In situ electrochemical reduction of WO3/ITO (2M HCl) produced a blue color in less than a second. Coloration efficiency (CE) was found to be 21 cm2/mC. In situ spectroscopic investigations showed that these films could be used as a working electrode in electrochromic devices.
