New topic: Electrochromic windows/smart glass and their reaction

I saw in the internet that the reaction of smart glassed that turn blue due to electrical stimulus was:
LiWO₃= Li+ + WO₃
(Its a redoxreaction)
But im not sure how the individual reduction and oxidation of the reaction is supposed to go, could someone explain?

Thank you!

Thank you!
I had read that article already and I still don't understand all of it. For example, in the article they mention that the electrical stimulus is only needed to change the windows and not to mantain the dark or light state. I dont understand how that can be posible. Do you have any insights on that?
