Description
This thesis focuses on the synthesis of tungsten oxides (WO₃), with the aim of developing single-phase chromoactive nanomaterials and correlating synthetic parameters with structural and optical properties. Furthermore, the potential application in a photonic device will be demonstrated.
**Project timeline**
Start: flexible, between 15.06-01.09
Duration: 5-6months (depends on your department)
**We are looking for**
Master students in the fields of Chemistry or Materials Science, interested in nanomaterials
**Our group's dynamics**
You will work in a friendly group, where helping one another is valued and cherished.
Goal
- Synthesize WO₃ via sol-gel routes
- Characterize via XRD, SEM, Raman and UV-Vis spectroscopy
- Develop electrochromic devices
