Investigation of electrochromic performances of multicolor V2O5 devices fabricated at low processing temperature

In recent decades, poorly insulated windows have increased the energy consumption of heating and cooling systems, thus contributing to excessive carbon dioxide emissions and other related pollution issues. From this perspective, the electrochromic (EC) windows could be a tangible solution as the indoor conditions are highly controllable by these smart devices even at a low applied voltage. Literally, vanadium pentoxide (V2O5) is a renowned candidate for the EC application due to its multicolor appearance and substantial lithium insertion capacity. Despite the growing interest in V2O5 thin films, only limited literature study is available for V2O5 films specifically the annealing effects of these films at lower temperatures (
