摘要
A nickel oxide film with a thickness of 445 nm was deposited from nickel acetate precursor using the sol-gel dip coating method. The NiO films exhibit optical transmission of 84% at 550 nm and direct energy gap (E-gd) value is 3.64 eV. The FTIR spectrum of the films confirms the formation of Ni-O bond. XRD spectrum reveals the formation of nano crystallites along (111) and (200) planes with a particle size of 17 nm. The electrochromic properties have been studied using cyclic voltammetric (CV) technique. The optical transmission of a glass/FTO/NiO/ZrO2/FTO/glass EC device is reported.
