In this work, NiO thin film was prepared by the sol-gel technique and analysed by thermogravimetry, x-ray diffractometry and x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The electrochromic characteristics were studied by ultraviolet spectroscopy. NiO thin film shows electrochromic characteristics. Its colour changes from transparent to brown when a voltage is applied. The transmittance of the film can shift from 90 to 40 percent. Deterioration of the film caused by colouring and discolouring was not observed for up to 100 cycles.
