ABSTRACT:
Mesoporous transition metal oxide thin films and methods for producing these films are provided. Also provided are methods of fabricating useful chemical sensors and electrochromic devices from the thin films of the invention. Certain mesoporous transition metal oxide molecular sieves may be used as targets for pulsed laser ablation under controlled atmosphere, resulting in deposition of a thin film of the target material upon a substrate of choice. The thin films possess a mesoporous structure which may be enhanced by means of a hydrothermal treatment. The thin films also may be treated with a means of removing the templating agent used during synthesis of the mesoporous target material.
