Referring to fig. 5, fig. 5 is a schematic structural diagram of an electrochromic layer according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. Electrochromism refers to a phenomenon in which optical properties (reflectivity, transmittance, absorption, etc.) of a material undergo a stable and reversible color change under the action of an applied electric field, and may be expressed as a change in color and transparency in appearance.

The electrochromic layer 151 includes a substrate, a conductive layer, an ionic layer, a solid core, a color-changing layer, a conductive layer, and a substrate in this order. The electrochromic layer 151 is similar to a lithium battery 14, and when a voltage is applied to the electrochromic layer 151, the electrochromic material may change color, for example, from red to green, according to the voltage.

When the electrochromic layer 151 is energized in the forward direction, ions flow from the ion layer through the solid core to the electrochromic layer, and the electrochromic layer 151 changes color in the forward direction, e.g., from green to red. The color change of the electrochromic layer 151 is more apparent as the energization voltage is larger and the time is longer. When the electrochromic layer 151 is energized in reverse, i.e., the voltage is reversed, ions flow from the electrochromic layer through the solid core back to the ionic layer, and the color changing component changes color in the reverse direction, e.g., from red back to green. The color change of the electrochromic component is more obvious as the energizing voltage is larger and the time is longer. Among them, the electrochromic layer 151 may be electrochromic glass or electrochromic thin film.

Referring to fig. 5, fig. 5 is a schematic structural diagram of an electrochromic layer according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. The electrochromic layer may include two conductive layers disposed in a stacked arrangement, and a color-changing layer, an electrolyte layer, and an ion storage layer disposed between the two conductive layers.

The conductive layer may be a transparent conductive layer, and has excellent conductivity and good optical transmittance. The transparent conductive layer can be Indium Tin Oxide (ITO) or tin oxide (SnO)₂) And Antimony Tin Oxide (ATO).

The color-changing layer is a core layer of the electrochromic layer and is also a layer where a color-changing reaction occurs. The material of the color-changing layer may be classified into an inorganic electrochromic material and an organic electrochromic material according to types. The inorganic electrochromic material may be tungsten trioxide (WO)₃) Or nickel oxide (NiO). The organic electrochromic material mainly comprises polythiophene and derivatives thereof, viologen, tetrathiafulvalene, metal phthalocyanine compounds and the like.

The electrolyte layer is composed of a special conductive material such as a liquid electrolyte material containing a solution of lithium perchlorate, sodium perchlorate, or the like, or may be a solid electrolyte material.

The ion storage layer plays a role in storing charges in the electrochromic layer, namely corresponding counter ions are stored when the material of the electrochromic layer undergoes an oxidation-reduction reaction, so that the charge balance of the whole electrochromic layer is ensured.

When a certain voltage is applied between the two transparent conductive layers, the material of the color-changing layer of the electrochromic unit generates oxidation-reduction reaction under the action of the voltage, so that the color is changed.

For example, when a voltage applied between two transparent conductive layers of an electrochromic cell is changed from 0V to 1V, the electrochromic cell may be changed from white to red. When a voltage applied between the two transparent conductive layers is changed from 0V to 1.2V, the electrochromic layer may be changed from white to black. When the voltage applied between the two transparent conductive layers is changed from 1.2V to-0.2V, the electrochromic layer may be changed from black to white, and so on.

In some embodiments, by designing different polymers as the color-changing layer material, electrochromic layers with different properties can be obtained. Some of the electrochromic cells may have the following characteristics: when a voltage is applied to change the electrochromic layer to a certain color, the electrochromic layer can maintain the color for a long time even if the voltage is removed. For example, when a voltage of 1.6V is applied, the electrochromic layer turns blue, and then the voltage is removed, the electrochromic layer can still maintain blue for more than 24 hours.
