According to different materials, the materials are divided into organic electrochromism and inorganic electrochromism; depending on the ion conductive layer, it is classified into an all-solid type, a semi-solution type and a solution type.
The all-solid-state inorganic electrochromic device has the advantages of strong sunlight radiation resistance, safety, reliability and the like, and the preparation method generally comprises the step of sequentially depositing layers on a substrate. To simplify the process, the electrochromic layer and the ion storage layer may be in direct contact, without the need to deposit an ion conducting layer, with an interfacial region formed therebetween by heat treatment to serve as an ion conducting layer.

Over 5000 cycles, the device's ability to store ions has significantly decreased and devices have emergedThe blue color could not be faded after coloring. The devices prepared in this comparative example were significantly less cycle-life than the devices prepared in example 3 with increasing gas pressure during the tungsten oxide preparation. The reason is that the tungsten oxide film layer is relatively dense, when ions migrate back and forth between the ion storage layer and the electrochromic layer under the action of an electric field, the ions are injected and extracted for many times in the electrochromic layer to cause lattice mismatch between the film layers, so that the quality of the film layers is poor, and the service life of the device is influenced.
