Abstract

A ‘dynamic hard-template’ infiltration strategy for crack-free large-area synthesis of 2D WO₃ inverse opal (IO) films on ITO substrates using a wide range of sizes of sacrificial PS spheres is reported. Thus prepared WO₃ IO films were successfully used as an active electrode in the fabrication of an electrochromic device.
