All solid state electrochromic smart windows with the configuration glass/ITO/WO3/electrolyte/TiO2-CeO2/ITO/glass have been realized. These devices have potential applications in architectural and automotive fields to regulate the transmission and reflection of the radiant energy. The ion storage electrode TiO2–CeO2 have been realized by sol-gel process and its electrochemical properties are studied as a function of various parameters (thickness, heat treatment, etc.). The electrochemical and optical performances of two cells are reported.
