Abstract
Innovative chromogenic nanostructures like hybrids but also composite materials can be increased electrochromic efficiency because of their prospective application values in low-power displays, smart windows, electronic papers, and car anti-reflect mirrors. We used a hydrothermal approach to make Cerium oxide Nanorods have various ratios in this report. DC magnetron sputtering procedures cover the generated cerium oxide nanorods of various diameters with a tungsten oxide layer in one step. the surface plasmon effect varies depending on the size of Ce Nanorods, and this phenomenon impacts electrochromic results. the electrochromic performances of CeO2/WO3 nanorods on FTO-coated glass slides are examined using a 0.5 M solution of H2SO4 as the electrolyte in the visible range. These structures produce considerable optical modulation (47 %, 45 %, and 41 % at 700 nm) and coloration efficiency (11.6, 7.57, and 10.84 cm2C-1 at 700 nm).
