In an electrochemical device including one or more substrates (1,7), one or more electrically conductive layers (2,6), one or more electrochemically active layers (3,5) capable of reversible insertion of ions (especially cations such as H<+>, Li<+>, Na<+> and Ag<+>) and an electrolyte (4), the electrolyte (4) is a layer or multilayer stack including one or more ion conductive layers (4b) capable of reversible ion insertion but with a constant overall oxidation state. Also claimed are: (i) the production of the above device, in which all or some of the layers are vacuum deposited by cathodic sputtering and/or vapour deposition and/or are deposited by sol-gel or pyrolytic techniques; (ii) electrochromic glazing, an energy storage element (especially a battery) and a gas sensor, including the above device; (iii) the use of the above electrochromic glazing as glazing for buildings, automobiles, mass transport or industrial vehicles, railway stock and aircraft, rearview mirrors, mirrors, optical elements such as photographic equipment objectives and front panels or elements for positioning in front of display screens of e.g. computers or televisions; and (iv) the use of the above energy storage element in electronic and/or information processing equipment and in equipment requiring an appropriate energy storage device. |
