Nickel-oxide Thin Films

 

Electrochromic efficiency of nickel-oxide thin films strongly depends on a degree of thermal treatment of the prepared films. With the help of thermogravimetric measurements of thin films, deposited on a substrate, temperature and duration of thermal treatement was optimized.
