Abstract:
1. An electrochromic device, comprising: a first substrate spaced from a second substrate; a first conductive member formed over at least a portion on the first substrate; a first electrochromic electrode comprising a tungsten oxide coating formed over at least a portion of the first conductive member; a second conductive member formed over at least a portion of the second substrate; a second electrochromic electrode formed over at least a portion of the second member; and a conductive medium positioned between the first electrochromic electrode and the second electrochromic electrode, wherein the conductive medium consists of an ionic liquid, and nanoparticles selected from the group consisting of zinc oxide nanoparticles, tungsten oxide nanoparticles, and combinations thereof, wherein the second conductive member and the second electrochromic electrode are formed by a single coating layer of indium tin oxide.
