tin oxide (ITO)-coated glass substrates from aqueous peroxo-polymolybdotungstatesolutions. Electrochemical quartz crystal microbalance (EQCM), cyclic voltammetry, and chronocoulometry wereused to gain insight into the electrodeposition mechanism. The compositional and structural properties were characterizedfor Mo
