From capacitance-controlled to diffusion-controlled electrochromism in one-dimensional shape-tailored tungsten oxide nanocrystals [link]Paper  doi  abstract   bibtex   
The engineering of electrochemically active films based on structurally and geometrically controlled transition-metal oxide nanocrystals holds promise for the development of a new generation of energy-efficient dynamic windows that may enable a spectrally selective control of sunlight transmission over the near-infrared regime. Herein, the different spectro-electrochemical signatures of two sets of engineered nanotextured electrodes made of distinct anisotropic-shaped tungsten oxide building blocks are comparatively investigated. The electrodes were fabricated starting from corresponding one-dimensional colloidal nanocrystals, namely solid and longitudinally carved nanorods, respectively, which featured identical crystal phase and lattice orientation, but exposed two distinct space-filled volume structures with subtly different lattice parameters and nonequivalent types of accessible surfaces. The shape of nanocrystalline building blocks greatly impacted on the fundamental electrochemical charge-storage mechanisms and, hence on the electrochromic response of these electrodes, due to concomitant bulk and surface-structure effects that could not be entirely traced to mere differences in surface-to-volume ratio. Electrodes made of carved nanorods accommodated more than 80% of the total charge through surface-capacitance mechanisms. This unique prerogative was ultimately demonstrated to enable an outstanding spectral selectivity as well as an extremely efficient dynamic modulation of the optical transmittance at near-infrared frequencies (  80% in the range 700–1600 nm). © 2017 Elsevier Ltd
