TL;DR: A room-temperature solution process to fabricate electrochromic films of niobium oxide glass and 'nanocrystal-in-glass' composites via acid-catalysed condensation of polyniobate clusters leads to a unique one-dimensional chain-like NbOx structure, which significantly enhances the electro chromic performance, compared to a typical three-dimensional Nb Ox network obtained from conventional high-tem temperature thermal processing.

TL;DR: The intensive, volume-normalized extinction coefficient increases significantly with NC doping and NC diameter, but only up to the point of saturation in both cases, and ITO NCs are found to be more efficient infrared light absorbers than metal nanoparticles or molecular dyes.

TL;DR: Niobium oxide (Nb2O5) is an interesting active material for technologies ranging from catalysis and sensors to energy storage and electrochromic devices owing to its unique optical, electronic, and magnetic properties as mentioned in this paper.

TL;DR: This work combines depletion attractions that emerge from the incorporation of small polymer chains and electrostatic repulsions to induce the gelation of isotropic metal oxide nanocrystals, and develops a theoretical model to assess experimental fluid-to-gel-phase progression observations.

TL;DR: The optical extinction spectra arising from localized surface plasmon resonance in doped semiconductor nanocrystals (NCs) have intensities and lineshapes determined by free charge carrier concentra.
