The invention relates to a method for producing an optical element from glass, wherein a portion of glass or a glass blank is blank-pressed, in particular on both sides, to form the optical element, wherein the optical element is then placed on a transport element and passes through a cooling path with the transport element, without the optical surface of the optical element being touched.

A coated article is provided which may be heat treated (e.g., thermally tempered) in certain example instances. In certain example embodiments, the coated article includes a low-emissivity (low-E) coating having a zinc stannate based layer provided over a silver-based infrared (IR) reflecting layer, where the zinc stannate based layer is preferably located between first and second silver based IR reflecting layers. The zinc stannate based layer may be provided between and contacting (i) an upper contact layer of or including Ni and/or Cr (or Ti, or TiOx), and (ii) a layer of or including silicon nitride.

An electrochromic device may include a working electrode that includes a high temperature stable material and nanoparticles of an active core material, a counter electrode, and an electrolyte deposited between the working electrode and the counter electrode. The high temperature stable material may prevent fusing of the nanoparticles of the active core material at temperatures up to 700 C. The high temperature stable material may include tantalum oxide. The high temperature stable material may form a spherical shell or a matrix around the nanoparticles of the active core material. A method of forming an electrochromic device may include depositing a working electrode onto a first substrate, in which the working electrode comprises a high temperature stable material and nanoparticles of an active core material, and heat tempering the working electrode and the first substrate.
