摘要
In the present work, we describe an anodization process that is able to fully transform a thin Ti metal layer on a conductive glass into a TiO2 nanotubular array. Under optimized conditions, nanotube electrodes can be obtained that are completely transparent and defect-free and allow electrochromic switching. These electrochromic electrodes show remarkable properties and can be directly integrated into devices.
