Abstract

Thin films of tin-doped indium oxide (I.T.O.) were produced by r.f. sputtering and lithiated electrochemically in LiClO4-PC. X-ray diffraction studies showed a cubic structure with a small increase in the cubic lattice parameter with x up to unity (LixITO). Electrochemical studies indicated that Li insertion is reversible, at least over a small number of cycles. Spectral transmittance decreased slightly with considerable levels of insertion indicating low electrochromic colouration efficiencies and making thin film I.T.O. a suitable counter-electrode material for electrochromic window systems.
