In some embodiments, the first optical or second optical structure layer, the dielectric layer may be sequentially formed on the substrate.
Further, electrochromic devices made of electrochromic materials have been widely used in smart windows, smart indicators, imaging devices, and the like. Electrochromic is a phenomenon in which the electronic structure and optical properties (reflectivity, transmittance, absorptivity, etc.) of an inorganic or organic electrochromic material change steadily and reversibly under the action of an applied electric field or current, and is represented by reversible changes in color and transparency in appearance. Conventional electrochromic can be divided into two models, transmissive electrochromic devices and reflective electrochromic devices, and the color of the electrochromic device is determined only by the electronic structure and optical properties of the electrochromic device itself. Thus, electrochromic single mode and monotonic color modulation also become bottlenecks limiting their range of application.
In some embodiments, the thickness and/or material of the first optical structure layer or the second optical structure layer, the dielectric layer, etc. may be adjusted during the process of the preparation method, thereby adjusting the reflective/transmissive structural color of the working electrode. Further, in the foregoing embodiment of the present invention, the type of the electrolyte is not particularly limited, and a liquid electrolyte, a gel polymer electrolyte, or an inorganic solid electrolyte may be used. In some embodiments, the electrolyte is in contact with the dielectric layer and provides a material for mobile environments of ions, such as hydrogen ions or lithium ions, for the discoloration or decolorization of the electrochromic material.
In some embodiments, the type of electrolyte is not particularly limited, and the electrolyte may include one or more compounds, such as a compound containing H+、Li+、Al3+、Na+、K+、Rb+、Ca2+,Zn2+、Mg2+ or Cs +. The electrolyte layer is composed of a specific 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 or a gel electrolyte material. In one embodiment, the electrolyte layer may include a lithium salt compound, such as LiClO 4、LiBF4、LiAsF6 or LiPF 6. Ions contained in the electrolyte may act on the color change or light transmittance change of the multi-color electrochromic structure when inserted into or removed from the dielectric layer according to the polarity of the applied voltage. In some embodiments, the electrolyte employed comprises a mixed plurality of ions that may enrich the color change of the electrochromic structure more than a single ion.
In some embodiments, the electrolyte may be a liquid electrolyte, such as aqueous LiCl, alCl 3、HCl、H2SO4 aqueous solutions, and the like.
In some embodiments, the electrolyte may further comprise a carbonate compound. Since carbonate-based compounds have a high dielectric constant, the ionic conductivity provided by lithium salts can be increased. As carbonate-based compounds, at least one of the following may be used: PC (propylene carbonate), EC (ethylene carbonate), DMC (dimethyl carbonate), DEC (diethyl carbonate) and EMC (ethyl methyl carbonate). For example, an organic LiClO 4、Na(ClO4)3 propylene carbonate electrolyte may be used.
In some embodiments, the electrolyte may be a gel electrolyte, such as PMMA-PEG-LiClO 4,PVDF-PC-LiPF6,LiCl/PVA,H2SO4/PVA, or the like, but is not limited thereto.
In some preferred embodiments, when an inorganic solid electrolyte is used as the electrolyte, the electrolyte may comprise LiPON or Ta 2O5. For example, the electrolyte may be, but is not limited to, a Li-containing metal oxide film, such as a film of LiTaO or LiPO, or the like. Further, the inorganic solid electrolyte may be an electrolyte in which LiPON or Ta 2O5 is added with components such as B, S and W, for example, LiBO2+Li2SO4、LiAlF4、LiNbO3、Li2O-B2O3 or the like.
In some preferred embodiments, the electrolyte is an all-solid electrolyte, which may be combined to form an all-solid electrochromic structure as a combination of dielectric layers, metal reflective layers, counter electrodes, etc. that are in a solid state.
Further, the colorful electrochromic structure further comprises an ion conducting layer, an ion storage layer, a transparent conducting layer and the like.
Further, the ion storage layer is in contact with the electrolyte.
For example, the working electrode may include a substrate.
For example, the counter electrode may include a substrate, a transparent conductive layer, and an ion storage layer.
The material of the substrate may be as described above, and will not be described herein.
Further, the material of the ion storage layer may be selected from, but not limited to, niO, fe 2O3、TiO2, prussian blue, irO 2, and the like. The ion storage layer plays a role in storing charges in the working electrode, namely, corresponding counter ions are stored when the dielectric layer material undergoes oxidation-reduction reaction, so that the charge balance of the whole electrochromic layer is ensured.
In some more specific embodiments, the all-solid electrolyte within the aforementioned all-solid multi-color electrochromic structure may take the form of a solid ion-conducting layer.
