Abstract

Two high stability types of protonic solid electrolytes based on antimonic acid hydrate xerogels have been obtained by the sol-gel technique: Sb2O5·(3-4)H2O (colloidal) and Sb2O5·5H2O (polymeric). The first one is a white compact material with conductivity 0.40 mS/cm (298 K) for n=3.7. The last one is transparent for visible light with a conductivity of 0.80 mS/cm. An electrochromic system based on the colloidal gel electrolyte in the form of paste has good performance-more than 107 cycles and a lifetime of more than five years.
