Abstract Crystals of all the well known electrochromic metal (Me) oxides are composed of MeO6 octahedra in various corner-sharing and edge-sharing arrangements. Cluster-type and columnar microstructures, based on the MeO6 units, exist in electrochromic films. The coordination of the ions leads to schematic electronic band structures that, at least for the (defect) perovskite and rutile lattices, are able to explain the presence or absence of cathodic and anodic electrochromism. Small polaron absorption prevails in disordered oxides, while crystalline tungsten oxide can show free-electron effects.
