The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect annealing temperature on structural, morphological, and electrochemical properties tungsten trioxide (WO3) films, fabricated via electrodeposition annealed at 50 °C, 250 450 °C. Structural analysis using X-ray diffraction (XRD) revealed temperature-induced modifications, transitioning from amorphous crystalline phases. Morphological studies by field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) demonstrated an increase in grain size with (31 nm, 48 53 nm) formation cracks higher temperatures. Electrochemical characterization showed that WO3 film °C exhibited superior redox activity, enhanced ion diffusion, excellent reversibility. Optical highlighted its exceptional performance, 79.35% optical modulation, a coloration efficiency 97.91 cm2/C, rapid switching times (9.8 s for 7.5 bleaching). Furthermore, long-term cycling tests confirmed minimal degradation after 5000 cycles, demonstrating durability. This work provides comprehensive understanding temperature’s impact films underscores novelty achieving optimal electrochromic (EC) performance through tuning, advancing design energy-efficient smart materials.
