A novel visible-light-driven photochromic material with high-reversibility: tungsten oxide-based organic-inorganic hybrid microflowers.
3D tungsten-oxide-based organic-inorganic microflowers with sizes of 1-5 microm have been prepared by an economical non-aqueous route in a large quantity, and they exhibit visible-light coloration, good reversibility and an enhanced photochromic response.
