The films were analyzed by ellipsometry, X-ray diffractometry, scanning electron microscopy and impedance spectroscopy. Impedance spectroscopy indicated that the Li<sup>+</sup> conductivity values were in the range of 6-8 x 10<sup>-7</sup> S cm<sup>-1</sup>. The morphology and thickness of these films played an important role in the insertion of lithium ions. Spectrophotometric investigation showed that LiNbO<sub>3</sub> films exhibit very weak cathodic coloration from 350 to 900 nm spectral region. The previous termelectrochemical and opticalnext term properties clearly indicate that sol-gel deposited LiNbO<sub>3</sub> films can be used as lithium ion conducting layers for electrochromic device application.</p>1 aÖzer, Nilgün1 aLampert, Carl, M  uhttps://facades.lbl.gov/publications/electrochemical-lithium-insertion-sol
