Durable thin film ion conducting coatings are formed on a transparent glass substrate by the controlled deposition of the mixed oxides of lithium:tantalum or lithium:niobium. The coatings provide durable ion transport sources for thin film solid state storage batteries and electrochromic energy conservation devices.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION A transparent thin film ion-conductive and electronically resistive layer is formed by deposition of mixed oxides of lithium and tantalum or lithium and niobium on electro-optically active substrates for controlling the optical properties thereof.
The same materials are used for providing the electrolyte layer in thin film storage batteries.
