The embodiments herein relate to electrochromic stacks, electrochromic devices, and methods and apparatus for making such stacks and devices. In various embodiments, an anodically coloring layer in an electrochromic stack or device is fabricated to include nickel tungsten tantalum oxide (NiWTaO). This material is particularly beneficial in that it is very transparent in its clear state.

Prior electrochromic devices frequently suffer from high levels of defectivity. The defects may be manifest as pin holes or spots where the electrochromic transition is impaired. This is unacceptable for many applications such as electrochromic architectural glass. Improved electrochromic devices with low defectivity can be fabricated by depositing certain layered components of the electrochromic device in a single integrated deposition system. While these layers are being deposited and/or treated on a substrate, for example a glass window, the substrate never leaves a controlled ambient environment, for example a low pressure controlled atmosphere having very low levels of particles. These layers may be deposited using physical vapor deposition. In certain embodiments, the device includes a counter electrode having an anodically coloring electrochromic material in combination with an additive.

The present invention relates to a process for producing a coated glass substrate, the process comprising providing a glass substrate having at least one surface, the surface having deposited thereon a layer of a transparent conductive material, providing a coating composition comprising a polysilazane, contacting the surface of the transparent conductive material with the coating composition and curing the coating composition to form a coating layer on the surface of the transparent conductive material the coating layer comprising silica, and to architectural and automotive glazing comprising coated glass substrates obtained using the process.
