Abstract: The concept of optimising China’s energy structure and striving to reach the “double carbon target” has provided a new opportunity for the development of electrochromic technology. As an energy-saving light-responsive device, electrochromic devices have attracted much attention in many fields such as thermal insulation, information display and energy storage. As one of the electrochromic materials with the longest research history, tungsten oxide has better optical properties and good cycling stability. In order to make tungsten oxide-based electrochromic smart windows gradually move from the experimental stage to daily applications, this paper focuses on the performance evaluation index of tungsten-based electrochromic smart windows, and summarizes the various strategies to enhance the electrochromic performance of tungsten oxide through systematic analyses of several related literatures, including different hybridisation between crystal structures, enhancing the oxygen vacancy concentration to create defects, and multi-type metal element doping. On this basis, the problems that still exist during the development of tungsten-based electrochromic devices in the fields of smart windows, aerospace, and screen displays are further summarized and outlooked, so as to make a positive contribution to the daily application of tungsten-based electrochromic devices and the promotion of the sustainable development of energy.
