Chemochromic optical switches based on metal hydrides

It is shown that lanthanide hydride thin films can be switched from absorbing to transparent with a NaBH 4 solution. The reverse reaction can be accomplished with an aqueous H 2O 2 solution. The optical properties of these films are similar to those of films switched electrochemically or exposed to...

Zusammenfassung:It is shown that lanthanide hydride thin films can be switched from absorbing to transparent with a NaBH 4 solution. The reverse reaction can be accomplished with an aqueous H 2O 2 solution. The optical properties of these films are similar to those of films switched electrochemically or exposed to hydrogen gas.
