Abstract: The WO3 thin film was prepared at room temperature by using a DC reactive magnetron sputtering method. The effects of sputtering power on the structure and electrochromic properties of the WO3 thin films were investigated. The structural evolution and electrochromic properties of WO3 films after annealing were investigated. The results show that the WO3 film exhibits better electrochromic performance at a sputtering power of 270 W, with a modulation amplitude of 78.5%, coloring time of 9s and fading time of 3.2s. The WO3 film prepared at this power is annealed, and its structure changes from amorphous to crystalline, but the modulation amplitude and response time characteristics are degraded to some extent. It is known that the amorphous WO3 film has faster response time and wider modulation amplitude than the crystalline structure, but the crystalline film has better cycle stability.

Key words: WO3 thin film, amorphous state, electrochromic properties, cyclic stability
