Technical field
The present invention relates to electrochromic metallated polymer field and in particular to the preparation method of electrochomeric films and
Electrochromic device.
Background technology
Electrochromic material can change the color of itself under certain voltage, thus changing to the absorption of light or anti-
Penetrate, reach the purpose of light regulating, temperature.1961, deb found that WO 3 film can be no under electric field action first
Change, based on this discovery, Sweden scientist c.g.granqvist and American scientist c.m.lampert between normal complexion blueness
Etc. proposing a kind of new energy-conservation electrochromic concept.Numerous researchs are attracted from this electrochromic material and device preparation
The sight of person.
Electrochromic material can be divided into inorganic and organic two classes from structure, inorganic electrochromic material have Tungstic anhydride.,
Prussian blue etc., organic electrochromic material is divided into organic molecule and macromolecule two class again, wherein organic molecule have purpurine,
Phthalocyanine etc., macromolecule includes polyaniline compound, polythiophene class etc..
The assemble method of electrochomeric films is broadly divided into two kinds at present.A kind of method is to pass through electrochomeric films
Either physically or chemically it is deposited on electrically-conductive backing plate surface, this method cost of manufacture is higher, obtain the homogeneous electrochromism of large scale
The difficulty of thin film is larger;Another kind of method is that electrochromic material is dissolved in gel or liquid electrolyte, is filled to two panels
