Doped tungsten oxide nanocrystals for next generation electrochromic windows
Doped tungsten oxide (WO₃ [subscript -x]) nanocrystals (NCs) have lots of potential for next generation electrochromic windows compared to bulk thin films. The difference lies in intrinsic WO₃ [subscript -x] NC properties of shape and crystalline anisotropy with localized surface plasmon resonance …
