Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="main" xml:lang="en"> <title>Abstract</title> <p>The present work is focused on gelatin‐based electrolytes doped with a range of concentration of zinc triflate (Zn(CF₃SO₃)₂). The transparent‐thin‐film samples have been represented by the notation Gelatin_{<italic>n</italic>}Zn(CF₃SO₃)₂, where <italic>n</italic> represents the zinc triflate salt concentration in the electrolyte membranes from 0.00 wt% to 10.93 wt% . The samples have been characterized by conductivity measurements, thermal analysis, cyclic voltammetry, X‐ray diffraction (XRD), polarized optical microscopy (POM) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The gelatin‐based electrolytes were also tested as ionic conductors in electrochromic devices with the glass/ITO/WO₃/gelatin‐based electrolyte/CeO₂‐TiO₂/ITO/glass configuration.</p> </abstract>
