Description

Hydrophilic red to transparent electrochromic polymer and preparation method and application thereof
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of electrochromic polymers, in particular to a hydrophilic red-to-transparent electrochromic polymer, and a preparation method and application thereof.
Background
The principle of electrochromic materials is that reversible oxidation-reduction reaction can be generated under the action of an external electric field, and the electrochromic materials show the change of appearance color and infrared characteristics, and have wide application prospects in the fields of intelligent windows, military camouflage and the like. Compared with inorganic electrochromic materials, viologen micromolecule electrochromic materials and the like, the conductive polymer serving as one of the electrochromic materials has the advantages of being rich in color transformation, high in response speed, high in stability and the like, and therefore becomes a hot spot for research and application in the electrochromic field. However, in the past, the conductive polymer-based electrochromic film is mainly prepared by adopting an electrodeposition method, so that the conductive polymer-based electrochromic film has a large problem in the aspect of large-area stable preparation, and the deposited film can not be dissolved and cannot be further processed, so that the application of the conductive polymer-based electrochromic film is greatly limited.
To achieve the solubility of the conductive polymer, the most common approach is to introduce long chain alkyl groups that allow dissolution of the polymer in an oily solvent such as toluene, chloroform, etc., and carboxylate groups that allow dissolution of the polymer in an aqueous solvent system. Because the aqueous system has relatively poor polymer performance and is easy to react with the electrolyte system, the currently studied soluble polymer is still mainly oily and mainly concentrated in a polypropylene dioxythiophene system (ProDOT), and other systems have relatively few researches and applications. In addition, in order to realize red-to-transparent conversion of one of the three primary colors, the conductive polymer generally needs a higher band gap, and the current common dioxythiophene units all have a lower energy band range, so that the current dioxythiophene units have a certain difficulty in realizing the red electrochromic material, and the partially realized red-to-transparent conversion electrochromic material also has the problems of insufficient stability and the like. Thus, the development of novel red to transparent electrochromic polymers that are solution processable and excellent and stable in performance remains a problem to be solved in the electrochromic field.

The contact angle between the film formed by the polymer and water is smaller than 40 degrees, the film has better hydrophilicity, and the film is easier to form a film on a conductive substrate in a large area and is firmly combined with the substrate.

FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram showing the molecular structure of the target polymer prepared in this example. The nuclear magnetic resonance hydrogen spectrum of the target polymer is shown in fig. 2. The molecular weight and distribution diagram of the target polymer of the structure shown in formula A are shown in FIG. 3, wherein the reference sample is polystyrene, the solvent is tetrahydrofuran, the ordinate is the detected intensity, and the abscissa is the residence time.

Example 2
This example is a polymer film formed using a molecule of formula a:
the polymer with the structure shown in the formula A and prepared in the example 1 is dissolved in toluene to prepare a solution with the concentration of 4mg/mL, insoluble substances are filtered out through a filter tip, the solution is placed in a spray gun, the air pressure is controlled to be 2MPa, the solution is sprayed on conductive glass, the absorbance of the film is about 1.0, and the solution is placed in a vacuum drying oven for vacuum drying at the temperature of 40 ℃ for later use after the spraying.
Polymer film Performance test
A three-electrode system with a polymer film as a working electrode, a platinum wire as a counter electrode and a calibrated silver wire as a reference electrode is adopted to support a lithium perchlorate propylene carbonate solution with electrolyte of 0.1mol/L, and the following tests are carried out:
(1) Testing of spectroelectrochemical properties of Polymer films at different voltages
The transmittance spectra and photographs of the polymer films before and after discoloration are shown in FIG. 5. As can be seen from the illustration, the polymer film formed by the molecules shown in the formula A has obvious electrochromic performance, the film shows red color (neutral state) before an electric field is applied, the film shows transparent (oxidized state) after the electric field is applied, and the film can show a high-contrast red-to-transparent change range, especially almost completely transparent in a fading state, and the transmittance contrast is higher than 50%.
(2) The initial redox voltage of electrochromic polymer was measured by cyclic voltammetry as shown in fig. 6, and the initial oxidation potential of the polymer film formed by the molecule of formula a was 0.63V.
(3) Testing spectral response and stability of copolymer film by step method
As shown in FIG. 7, the polymer films were applied at step potentials of 0V and 1.2V, dwell times of 5s and 40s, respectively, transmittance contrast ratio of 62%, and coloring and fading times of about 1.1s and 6.6s, respectively. The electrochemical stability of the polymer is tested, and the polymer still maintains good stability after 500 times of square wave potential scanning.
(4) The electrochromic polymers were tested for surface affinity: the contact angle of the surface of the polymer film formed by the molecule shown in the test formula A with water is about 34.6 degrees and less than 40 degrees as shown in FIG. 8, which shows that the polymer film formed by the molecule shown in the test formula A has good hydrophilicity. The hydrophilicity is mainly brought about by the large number of oxygen atoms contained in the straight chain ether branches on the propylenedioxythiophene. The branched chain can not only not affect the color-changing performance of the polymer and the film thereof, but also can effectively improve the polarity of the soluble electrochromic polymer due to the existence of a large number of oxygen atoms and the formation of hydrogen bond combination with other materials, thereby being easier to form a film on a conductive substrate in a large area and being more beneficial to the injection and extraction of doped ions.
As can be seen from the above test, the electrochromic polymer with the structure shown in the formula A prepared by the invention can realize the conversion from red to transparent, has the characteristics of high contrast, low driving potential, high color change rate, high coloring efficiency, good stability and the like, can make up the problem of insufficient types of the existing red high-performance electrochromic materials, and can be applied to the fields of electrochromic display, self-adaptive camouflage and the like; meanwhile, the film has good hydrophilicity and certain polarity, so that the film is easier to form a film on a conductive substrate in a large area, and the film can be firmly combined with the conductive substrate.
Finally, it should be noted that: the above embodiments are only for illustrating the technical solution of the present invention, and not for limiting the same; although the invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, it will be understood by those of ordinary skill in the art that: the technical scheme described in the foregoing embodiments can be modified or some or all of the technical features thereof can be replaced by equivalents; such modifications and substitutions do not depart from the spirit of the invention.
