ABSTRACTPolymeric nanocomposites of polyethylene glycol (PEG) with titanium oxide compound, PEG-Ti, have been prepared by sol-gel method from liquid PEG and titanium isopropoxide in acidic medium. Lithium salt (LiX) has been added into PEG-Ti to form PEG-Ti-LiX polymeric electrolytes. Electrochromic devices based on tungsten oxide thin films and PEG-Ti-LiX electrolyte may show excellent optical transmittance transient, however it depends on the type of lithium salt used during the sol-gel process. With LiI, the color change speed of the devices is very fast but they show a yellow color at bleaching state. The use of LiClO4 makes the devices totally transparent in visible region but the optical contrast is small. Possible molecular structure model of these polymeric electrolytes have been analyzed to explain the relation between electrochromic performance of tungsten oxide and electrolyte chemical composition.

ABSTRACTTitanium oxide and titanates based on Ba, Sr and Ca were prepared from commercial solutions of TiCl4 and HNO3. The main preparation steps for the sols consisted of elimination of chloride anions by distillation with nitric acid and addition of metal hydroxides for the titanates. Resulting sols were gelled and used to (1) prepare irregularly shaped powders by evaporation; (2) produce by a dipping technique thin films on glass, Ag, or Ti substrates; and (3) produce spherical powders (diameters <100 μm) by solvent extraction. Results of thermal and X-ray-diffraction analyses indicated that the temperatures required to form the various compounds were lower than those necessary to form the compounds by conventional solid-state reactions and comparable to those required with use of organometallic based sol-gel methods. Temperatures of formation could be further reduced by addition of ascorbic acid to the sols.
