As can be seen from fig. 7, the transmittance of the prepared electrochromic layer was 49%.
The device circulation stability test adopts a double-electrode test method, the potential range of a timing current method is-1V-1V, the pulse time is 1s, and the static time is 2s. As can be seen from FIG. 11, the prepared device showed a remarkable decay phenomenon of the coloring current and the fading current after being reversibly cycled for about 160 times, which indicates that the reversible cycle property is poor.
