Nanocrystalline titania porous films were prepared on ITO and glass substrates by polyethylene glycol(PEG)-assisted sol-gel method using Ti(C4H9COO)4 as precursor, ethanol as solvent and NH(C2H2OH)2 as chelating agent and PEG 2000as a template. When the amount of polyethylene glycol is within the range of 0~2. 0g/L ,. The characteristics and microstructure of films as well as the chemical and physical changes taken place during so-gel and heat treatments were analyzed by XRD, SEM and Emission spectra. The Cyclic voltammetry which measurements the films by illumination with a high pressure mercury lamp are employed to analyze photoelectrochemical property the porous titania thin films. The effects of precursor concentration and PEG 2000 contention the characteristic of films were discussed. The Cyclic voltammetry experiment under UV light irradiation indicated that the pores in the TiO2 thin films enhanced its photoelectrochemical activity; the size of the pores thin films obviously affected the photo-current exchanged rate of titania films.

NiO thin films were prepared on ITO glass by a modified sol-gel method in combination with a following annealing process. The XRD results show that the film annealed at 280 °C is amorphous, while the films annealed at and above 300 °C are cubic NiO phase. The electrochromic performances of the annealed films were characterized by means of UV–vis spectroscopy and cyclic voltammetry (CV) measurements. The film annealed at 280 °C exhibits a noticeable electrochromism with a variation of transmittance up to 76 % at 550 nm. The cyclic voltammetry (CV) measurements reveal that the film annealed at higher temperature has better electrochemical reversibility.
