Porous tungsten oxide films of nanocrystalline tungsten oxide embedded in an amorphous tungsten oxide matrix have been synthesized via poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG)-template sol–gel technique with peroxopolytungstic acid precursor. The effects of PEG addition on the microstructure and electrochromic performance of the tungsten oxide films are investigated. Charge transfer/transport properties in the tungsten oxide films are studied by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) as well. Triclinic tungsten oxide film is formed in the absence of PEG. The PEG-template tungsten oxide film demonstrates an electrochromic performance superior to that of the crystalline tungsten oxide film, including larger transmittance modulation and coloration/bleaching efficiency as well as faster response times. EIS measurements indicate that faster charge-transfer rates at the tungsten oxide/electrolyte interface and larger Li+ diffusion coefficients in tungsten oxide are achieved in the PEG-template film. We suggest that the PEG-template tungsten oxide film with a porous crystalline/amorphous nanostructure provides an effective means for charge transfer/transport to encourage its superior electrochromic performance.

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) is an international journal co-owned by 19 physical chemistry and physics societies from around the world. This journal publishes original, cutting-edge research in physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry. To be suitable for publication in PCCP, articles must include significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry; this is the most important criterion that reviewers and Editors will judge against when evaluating submissions. The journal has a broad scope and welcomes contributions spanning experiment, theory, computation and data science. Topical coverage includes spectroscopy, dynamics, kinetics, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, catalysis, surface science, quantum mechanics, quantum computing and machine learning. Interdisciplinary research areas such as polymers and soft matter, materials, nanoscience, energy, surfaces/interfaces, and biophysical chemistry are welcomed if they demonstrate significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry. Joined experimental/theoretical studies are particularly appreciated when complementary and based on up-to-date approaches.
