Cr oxide films were produced by reactive de magnetron sputtering in Ar + O-
2 + H-2. Weak anodic electrochromism was found in acidic electrolytes. A hi
gh optical transmittance and a modest voltage range for charge exchange mak
e Cr oxide films of considerable interest as counter electrodes in W-oxide-
based transparent electrochromic devices. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science Ltd. Al
