%X <p>Electrochromic devices have increasing application in display devices, switchable minors and smart windows. A variety of vacuum depition technologies have been used to make electrochromic devices. The sol-gel process offers an alternative approach to the synthesis of optical quality and low cost electrochromic device layers. This study summarizes the developments in sol-gel deposited electrochromic films. The sol-gel process involves the formation of oxide networks upon hydrolysis-condensation of alkoxide precursors. In this study we cover the sol-gel deposited oxides of WO<sub>3</sub>, V<sub>2</sub>O<sub>5</sub>, TiO<sub>2</sub>, Nb<sub>2</sub>O<sub>5</sub> and NiO<sub>x</sub>.</p>
