Compared with anhydrous WO₃, tungsten oxide dihydrate (WO₃·2H₂O) shows superior electrochromic properties because of its unique layered structure and rich interlayer structural water. In this study, WO₃·2H₂O films were successfully fabricated on indium tin oxide (ITO) glass substrates using a facile, template-free cathodic electrodeposition method. The composition of the electrodeposition solution was optimized by modifying the volume of hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂) added into the solution, and thus highly porous films were obtained. The thus deposited WO₃·2H₂O films exhibited excellent electrochromic performance, including significant optical contrast of over 90% at 633 nm, a fast switching speed of fewer than 10 s, and a long cycling lifetime (90% original optical modulation was retained after 10 000 cycles).
