Switch speed determined by

Concentration of Li+ electrolytes

Density of matrix through which ions pass

Lithium Electrolyte

IrO2 film hooked to positive = oxidation = removing Li+ from IrO2 film = absorbs light = appears dark

Lithium Electrolyte

IrO2 film hooked to negative = reduction = pulling Li+ onto IrO2 film = clear

Side reaction of concern
