ABSTRACT:
Electrochromic devices based on anodic iridium oxide as the electrochromic material have been made. These devices exhibit long term stability, memory, and good response times, e.g., less than 80 msec. for reflectivity changes of about 70% (50 msec. for 50% changes). Devices using an anodic iridium oxide film immersed in a sulfate electrolyte have been operated for more than 6.times.10.sup.5 coloration/bleaching cycles at 0.5 Hz without noticeable change in properties. Response times and stability are also improved by a heat treatment of the anodic iridium oxide at temperatures between 40 and 100 degrees C.
