The colouration mechanism consists of hydrogen adsorption on the WO2 surface and the transport of H atoms in the WO, lattice. The bleaching process involves at least two steps: transport of interstitial H atoms and hydrogen desorption on the W surface, resulting in interstitial H+ ions; then extration of the H+ ions driven by the external electric field. The auto-bleaching arises from the hydroxylation due to both partial interstitial H atoms and a little of water contained in the film.展开更多
