Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of electrochromic devices, in particular to an electrochromic device, an electrode structure and a preparation method thereof, a glass assembly and a vehicle.
Background
The electrochromic device is a device which can generate stable and reversible color change under the action of an external electric field by utilizing an electrochromic material, so that the color and the transparency can be reversibly changed from the appearance. The glass has wide application in occasions such as dimmable glass and the like. The electrode structure in an electrochromic device is then the structure for supplying an electric current (electric field) to the electrochromic material layer. At present, an electrochromic material layer is arranged on an electrode layer, and a transparent electrode layer usually has a certain sheet resistance, so that a large voltage drop is brought in the working process of an electrochromic device, and the color change response of an area far away from a current access point is slow. Thus, the introduction of a long current lead, which is highly conductive, directs the applied current (electric field) to the distal end with minimal voltage drop. In order to improve the synchronism of color change response of each region of the electrochromic material layer, a strip-shaped conductive strip with higher conductivity is generally arranged on the electrode layer, and the conductive strip extends from the near end to the far end of the transparent electrode layer so as to lead the external current to the far end in a mode of extremely small voltage drop. Generally, the conductive tape is thin, low in mechanical strength and not resistant to bending, cannot be directly connected with an external circuit, and a conductive structure with high strength is externally connected to the conductive tape in the existing manufacturing process of the electrochromic device to connect the conductive tape to the external circuit.

Detailed Description
In order to make the aforementioned objects, features and advantages of the present invention comprehensible, embodiments accompanied with figures are described in detail below. In the following description, numerous specific details are set forth in order to provide a thorough understanding of the present invention. This invention may, however, be embodied in many different forms and should not be construed as limited to the embodiments set forth herein.
As shown in fig. 1 and 2, in a general electrode structure 10 of a conventional electrochromic device, a conductive tape 12 covers only an electrode layer 11, and the conductive tape 12 has a small thickness, is easily bent and broken, and is externally connected with a circuit by additionally providing a lead structure 20 on the conductive tape 12. Although the additional lead structure 20 has better mechanical strength and bending resistance, and can meet the requirements of an external circuit, the overall structure is complex and the interface resistance is increased.
Based on this, as shown in fig. 3 to 12, in one embodiment, there is provided an electrode structure 10 of an electrochromic device, including:
an electrode layer 11, the electrode layer 11 being for lamination on the electrochromic layer;
the electrode structure comprises a conductive strip 12, wherein the conductive strip 12 comprises a strip body part 121 and an outer extension part 122 which are electrically connected with each other, the strip body part 121 is arranged from the near end of the electrode layer 11 to the far end of the electrode layer 11, the outer extension part 122 extends out of the electrode layer 11, and a strength improving layer 13 is arranged on the outer extension part 122.
According to the electrode structure 10 of the electrochromic device provided by the above scheme, the conductive strip 12 is directly designed to include the strip body part 121 and the extension part 122, and an external lead structure 20 is not required to be connected to realize an electrical connection relationship. On the one hand, the structure is simplified, and on the other hand, the interface resistance is reduced. Since the extension 122 for external circuit is directly part of the conductive strip 12, there are cases where the mechanical strength is low relative to the externally connected lead structure 20. Based on this, the strength improvement layer 13 is further arranged on the extension portion 122, so that the extension portion 122 is protected, and bending or/and breaking and the like in the assembling or transporting process can be avoided.
Specifically, in some embodiments, the tape body portion 121 and the outer extension portion 122 maintain consistent or substantially comparable mechanical strength properties. Generally, the thickness of the belt body 121 is small, the bending resistance is poor, the mechanical strength of the extension portion 122 is consistent with that of the extension portion, and the strength increasing layer 13 may be additionally provided to increase the mechanical strength of the portion of the extension portion 122.
More specifically, in some embodiments, the belt body portion 121 and the extension portion 122 may be made of the same material, but not limited thereto, and may also be made of different materials. The cross-sectional area of the conductive strip 12 may be uniformly equal or gradually increased. Optionally, the conductive strip 12 is made of a uniform material and has uniform continuity, and the conductive strip 12 is processed into a pattern including the strip body portion 121 and the extension portion 122, so that when the strip body portion 121 is connected to the electrode layer 11, the extension portion 122 extends out of the electrode layer 11.
The conductive strip 12 may be a metal foil tape. Specifically, the conductive tape 12 may be a copper foil tape, an aluminum foil tape, or a tin-plated copper foil tape.
Further, in some embodiments, as shown in fig. 3 to 12, at least a portion of the strength-enhancing layer 13 and the electrode layer 11 are located on the same side of the conductive strip 12;
and/or at least part of the strength-improving layer 13 and the electrode layer 11 are located on opposite sides of the conductive strip 12.
In particular, as shown in fig. 3 and 4, in some embodiments, all of the strength-enhancing layers 13 are located on the same side of the conductive strip 12 as the electrode layer 11.
Alternatively, in other embodiments, as shown in fig. 5 and 6, all of the strength-enhancing layers 13 are located on the opposite side of the conductive strips 12 from the electrode layers 11.
Still alternatively, in still other embodiments, as shown in fig. 7 and 8, a part of the strength-increasing layers 13 are located on the same side of the conductive tape 12 as the electrode layer 11, and another part of the strength-increasing layers 13 are located on the opposite side of the conductive tape 12 from the electrode layer 11.
Further specifically, the portion of the strength-increasing layer 13 on the same side as the electrode layer 11 is a strength-increasing layer a. The portion of the strength-increasing layer 13 located on the opposite side from the electrode layer 11 is a strength-increasing layer B.
Further, in some embodiments, as shown in fig. 3 to fig. 6, when the strength-enhancing layer 13 is disposed on a single surface of the outer extension portion 122, other surfaces of the outer extension portion 122 are exposed, and may be used as electrical connection points of an external circuit.
Alternatively, in other embodiments, as shown in fig. 7 and 8, when the strength-increasing layer 13 is provided on both the upper and lower surfaces of the outer extension portion 122, the strength-increasing layer 13 may be designed such that at least a portion of the outer extension portion 122 can be exposed. Thereby utilizing the exposed portion of the outer extension 122 as an electrical connection point.
Further, in one embodiment, the strength-enhancing layer 13 is an insulating layer. The epitaxial portion 122 is at least partially exposed outside the strength-enhancing layer 13. The insulating layer can insulate and protect the extension portion 122, and the exposed position of the extension portion 122 serves as an electrical connection point.
It should be noted that the strength-enhancing layer 13 may be a structural layer, a portion of which can be removed by heat fusion or other methods, and the strength-enhancing layer 13 may completely cover the outer extension portion 122 before the electrode structure 10 is assembled for use. When the strength-improving layer is assembled and used, a part of the structure of the strength-improving layer 13 is removed by hot melting or other methods as required, so that the outer extension portion 122 is partially exposed and is electrically connected with an external circuit.
Alternatively, in other embodiments, the strength-enhancing layer 13 includes a conductive portion. The conductive portion is electrically connected to the extension portion 122, and the conductive portion extends to a surface of the strength improvement layer 13 that is not in contact with the extension portion 122. Therefore, the strength-increasing layer 13 not only increases the mechanical strength of the portion of the extension portion 122, but also can achieve an electrical connection relationship with an external circuit through the conductive portion.
Still alternatively, in other embodiments, the strength-enhancing layer 13 includes conductive particles therein. The strength-enhancing layer 13 has a certain conductivity, so that the extension portion 122 can be electrically connected to an external circuit.
Further, in one embodiment, the peel strength between the strength-enhancing layer 13 and the extension portion 122 is not less than 0.02N/mm, so as to ensure that the strength-enhancing layer 13 can be reliably connected to the extension portion 122 for protection.
Further, in some embodiments, as shown in fig. 9-12, the strength-enhancing layer 13 extends beyond the outer extension 122.
Specifically, in some embodiments, the strength-enhancing layer 13 extends beyond the outer extension 122 by no more than 3 mm. Therefore, the strength improvement layer 13 can protect the extension portion 122 more completely, and simultaneously control the material cost.
More specifically, in one embodiment, as shown in fig. 3, 4, 9 and 10, the electrode layer 11 has a thickness H, and the strength-increasing layer a has a thickness of not more than 2 × H.
In other words, when the strength-increasing layer 13 and the electrode layer 11 are located on the same side of the conductive tape 12, the thickness of the strength-increasing layer 13 cannot be too thick so as not to affect subsequent mounting. In particular, when the electrochromic device is used in laminated glass, the electrode structure 10 is at least partially sandwiched between the two glasses, which would be damaged if the strength-enhancing layer 13 were too thick.
Similarly, in one embodiment, as shown in fig. 11 and 12, at least one of the side of the conductive tape 12 on the electrode layer 11 and the side of the conductive tape 12 facing away from the electrode layer 11 is further provided with a functional layer 14. The thickness of the strength-enhancing layer B is not greater than the height of the functional layer 14 protruding from the conductive strip 12.
Further, in one embodiment, as shown in fig. 9 and 10, the strength-enhancing layer a partially covers the electrode layer 11. And the strength-increasing layer a covers the electrode layer 11 to a depth of not more than 3 mm.
The strength-increasing layer a covers the electrode layer 11, can indirectly connect the electrode layer 11 and the extension portion 122, further defines the relative position of the extension portion 122 and the electrode layer 11, and protects the extension portion 122. Here, the depth is a depth L of the strength-increasing layer 13 extending to the electrode layer 11 as shown in fig. 9.
Further, in some embodiments, the thickness of the portion of the strength-enhancing layer a that overlies the electrode layer 11 is not greater than the thickness H of the electrode layer 11.
Further, as shown in fig. 11 and 12, in an embodiment, at least one of a side of the electrode layer 11 on which the conductive tape 12 is disposed and a side of the conductive tape 12 facing away from the electrode layer 11 is further provided with a functional layer 14. The strength-enhancing layer B is bonded to the functional layer 14.
The strength-enhancing layer B is bonded to the functional layer 14, indirectly connecting the extension 122 to the functional layer 14.
Further, in one embodiment, the strength-enhancing layer 13 comprises a polymer matrix, thereby providing the strength-enhancing layer 13 with greater strength and toughness.
Specifically, the strength-improving layer 13 contains a thermosetting or thermoplastic type polymer. For example, the polymer may be a polyacrylic, epoxy, polyurethane, polyether, or polyethylene terephthalate.
When the electrode structure 10 is used in laminated glass, the glass transition temperature of the strength-increasing layer 13 is not lower than 140 ℃ in order to accommodate the process of producing laminated glass.
Further, in some embodiments, the strength-enhancing layer 13 comprises a self-healing material layer, which has self-healing capabilities, further enhancing durability. The strength-improving layer 13 can be automatically repaired when minute abrasion or breakage occurs by van der waals force, hydrogen bond, dynamic covalent bond, or the like between the material molecules.
Specifically, in some embodiments, the repair duration is no greater than 90 s.
Further, in one embodiment, a method for preparing an electrode structure of an electrochromic device is provided, which is characterized by comprising the following steps:
processing the conductive tape into a shape including a tape body portion and an extension portion electrically connected to each other;
arranging the ribbon body portion in a proximal to distal direction of the electrode layer and ensuring that the epitaxial portion extends outside the electrode layer;
a strength-enhancing layer is provided on the epitaxial portion.
The conductive tape 12 is directly processed into a shape including the tape body portion 121 and the extension portion 122, then the tape body portion 121 is disposed on the electrode layer 11 such that the extension portion 122 extends outside the electrode layer 11 for external circuit, and then the strength-improving layer 13 is disposed on the extension portion 122. The electrode structure 10 thus prepared has the characteristics of simple structure, reduced interface resistance and strength meeting the requirements of an external circuit.
In the embodiments shown in fig. 3 to 12, the conductive tape 12 has a strip shape, and when the conductive tape 12 is disposed on the electrode layer 11, a portion of the conductive tape 12 is extended out of the electrode layer 11. The portion disposed on the electrode layer 11 is the strip body portion 121, and the portion extending out of the electrode layer 11 is the extension portion 122.
Specifically, the conductive tape 12 may be cut, laser etched, stamped, sprayed, etc. into the above-described shape.
In particular, in some embodiments, the step of processing the conductive strip into a shape comprising a strip body portion and an outer extension portion electrically connected to each other specifically comprises:
the manufacturing method comprises the following steps of cutting a conductive strip into strips, wherein the conductive strip is divided into a strip body part and an extending part in the length direction of the conductive strip.
Preferably, the length of the strip is greater than the length of the electrode layer.
Further, the strength-enhancing layer 13 may be disposed on the extension portion 122 by coating during the manufacturing process. The strength-increasing layer material is pre-coated on the extension portion 122 before being cured, and the strength-increasing layer 13 is formed after being cured.
Specifically, the conductive band 12 may be placed on a platform such as a teflon plate, the raw material in a flowing state may be coated on the conductive band 12, the raw material may flow to cover the extension portion 122, and the strength-improving layer 13 covering the extension portion 122 may be formed after the raw material is solidified.
Further, it is preferable that the raw material having a slightly low viscosity is disposed on the extension portion 122 by spraying, and the raw material having a relatively high viscosity is disposed on the extension portion 122 by doctor blade coating.
Alternatively, in other embodiments, the strength-enhancing layer 13 may be an already formed solid structure that may be thermally pressed or otherwise secured to the outer extension 122.
Further, in some embodiments, the strength-enhancing layer 13 is a flat membrane.
Optionally, in other embodiments, the strength-improving layer 13 is a hollow structure layer, or the strength-improving layer 13 is a spinning structure layer. When other structures need to be adhered subsequently, the strength improvement layer 13 preferably adopts a hollow structure or a spinning structure, so that the adhesive strength of the adhesive can be increased.
Further, in one embodiment, the electrode layer 11 includes a transparent conductive layer and a transparent substrate, and the transparent substrate and the strip body portion 121 are respectively located at two sides of the transparent conductive layer. The color change and transparency change of the electrochromic layer can be observed through the electrode layer 11.
