In order to curb high electricity usage, especially in commercial buildings, smart windows, also known as "switchable" or "smart" glasses, have attracted a significant amount of attention in an effort to achieve energy savings in eco-friendly buildings and transportation systems. Smart windows save energy by regulating the input of solar heat and light and hence cutting down air-conditioning expenses, while maintaining indoor comfort. This is achieved by electrochromism, which is defined as the reversible colour change in electrochromic (EC) materials from transparent to dark blue and vice versa under a small applied voltage. Recent state-of-the-art electrochromic devices (ECD) adopt liquid-based electrolytes as the main source of energy for basic operations. While this has resulted in much success in ECDs as reported in past studies, there remain several drawbacks to this aspect, such as liquid electrolyte leakage and evaporation, not to mention safety concerns related to the harmful nature of electrolyte materials. This paper aims to review the recent advances in various solid electrolytes that are potential solutions to the mentioned problems.
