cathodic electrodeposition on indium tin oxide (ITO)-coated glass substrates from aqueous peroxo-polymolybdotungstate
solutions. Electrochemical quartz crystal microbalance (EQCM), cyclic voltammetry, and chronocoulometry were
used to gain insight into the electrodeposition mechanism. The compositional and structural properties were characterized
for MoxW1 - xO3 films deposited at intermediate potentials (−0.35 V vs Ag/AgCl) and sintered at 250 °C using
energy-dispersive spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, and Raman spectroscopy. These studies reveal that films consist
of homogeneously mixed MoxW1 - xO3, with an enriched Mo content ranging in composition from 0.4 < x < 0.7
depending upon the mol % Mo present in the deposition solution. Chronoamperometry and spectroelectrochemical
measurements were conducted to estimate lithium ion diffusion coefficients and coloration efficiencies for the mixed
metal oxide films in 1 M LiClO4/propylene carbonate. The subtle interplay between structural and compositional
properties due to the uniform mixing of Mo and W oxide components shows that electrochromic and lithium ion
transport properties are moderately enhanced relative to those of single-component WO3 and MoO3 and demonstrate
improved structural stability over pure MoO3 polymorphs during electrochemical cycling.
