Abstract

Electrochromism is a reversible and visible change in the transmittance and/or
reflectance of a material as a result of electrochemical oxidation or reduction. Electrochromic
windowsare architectural or automotive windows with electrochromic coatings that allow
them to darken and lighten upon the application of a very small electric voltage. They have
variable transmittance so that a desired amount of visible light and/or solar energy passes
through. Such windows can lead to energy efficiency as well as comfortable indoor climate.
Maintaining the color intensity requires a small, negligible current. Semiconducting copper(I)
oxide, Cu2O, films were prepared using electrodeposition method onto transparent conductive
glass substrates. Those films revealed a significant difference in transmittance in their
coloured and bleached state. The AM 1.5 spectrum was taken for an input and the spectral
intensity of the transmitted AM1.5 solar irradiance spectrum through those films was
calculated.
