摘要：

A WO3/Au composite thin film is prepared by depositing gold nanoparticles onto the surface of a vacuum-evaporated WO3 thin film through a spin-coating technique. It is found that the photochromism of the WO3 thin films are enhanced greatly after the modi cation with Au nanoparticles. The enhancement effect is explained according to the Schottky barrier formed at the WO3/Au interface and the surface effect of the gold nanoparticles. The results may be helpful in technical applications and provide a more detailed understanding of the photochromic mechanism.
