Abstract

The electrochromic properties of vacuum deposited V$_2$O$_{5}$ thin films as a function of crystallinity and film thickness have been systematically investigated. The as-deposited films have slightly yellow appearance. V$_2$O$_{5}$ films deposited at higher substrate temperature(>14$0^{\circ}C$) are found to be crystalline while those deposited at low substrate temperature are amorphous. The optical modulation on lithium ion injection indicates that V$_2$O$_{5}$ films exhibit anodic coloration in the 300~500 nm wavelength range and cathodic coloration in the 500~1100nm wavelength range independent of crystallinity and film thickness. The optical band gap energy of crystalline and amorphous Li$_{x}$ VV$_2$O$_{5}$ films shifts to higher energies by 0.17 eV and 0.75 eV, respectively, with increasing lithium ion injection up to x=0.6. The coloration efficiency of amorphous Li$_{x}$ V$_2$O$_{5}$ exhibits very little dependence on film thickness and lithium ion injection amounts in the near-infrared while it increases significantly with increasing film thickness and decreasing lithium ion injection amounts in the blue and near-UV due to the shift in absorption edge below around 500nm. However, the coloration efficiency of crystalline Li$_{x}$ V$_2$O$_{5}$is relatively independent of film thickness and lithium ion injection in the 300~1100 nm wavelength range.
