Abstract This report concerns a composite proton electrolyte suitable for use in electrochromic devices. The electrolyte consists of nanosize pyrochlore antimonic acid particles suspended in a poly(vinyl acetate) matrix by a gel route. It was found possible to substitute the antimonic acid by inert oxides of aluminum and silicon, thus making the electrolyte less harmful to the oxide electrodes of the electrochromic devices without considerably decreasing the conductivity. The proton conductivity of the antimonic acid electrolyte was ∼10 −4 S/cm at room temperature, practically independent of its amount of absorbed water.
