  • Electrochromic devices and related products and methods
    Patent number: 10061176
    Abstract: An electrochromic device may be switchable between a transparent state and at least one reflective state. A lithium-containing reflective feature may form when the electrochromic device is switched from the transparent state to the reflective state. Various products and methods may involve the electrochromic device.
    Type: Grant

  • ALKALI METAL ION-DOPED ELECTROCHROMIC FILMS AND METHODS OF MAKING THE SAME
    Publication number: 20110260124
    Abstract: Alkali metal ion-doped electrochromic films, and methods of making such films, are disclosed. An exemplary electrochromic film comprises a lattice of an oxide of a Group VIII transition metal and a dopant deposited onto the surface of a substrate. The oxide is generated by heating at least one starting material and at least one dopant ion source on the surface of the substrate.
