An electrochromic system having a first electrode disposed on a transparent or translucent substrate, a second electrode, an electrolyte, an electron donor in solution in the electrolyte, and a nanoporous-nanocrystalline film. The nanoporous-nanocrystalline film has a semiconducting metallic oxide with a redox chromophore adsorbed thereto, intermediate the first and second electrodes.

Electrochromic system

A method for the manufacture of an electrochromic system using a nanoporus-nanocrystalline film comprising a semiconducting metallic oxide having a redox chromophore adsorbed thereto.

An electrochromic system having a first electrode disposed on a transparent or translucent substrate and a second electrode, an electrolyte, an electron donor and a nanoporous-nanocrystalline film of a semiconducting metallic oxide having a redox chromophore adsorbed thereto being intermediate the first and second electrodes. Such a system has a very rapid electrochromic effect.
