Table 1 summary of test results of electrochromic devices prepared in each example and comparative example
As can be seen from the data in table 1, the electrochromic devices provided in examples 1 to 7 of the present application have no electrolyte leakage even after the high temperature and high humidity test (i.e., under severe test environment conditions), and in particular, example 2, 200 electrochromic devices identical to example 1 were prepared, and the electrochromic devices of the present application were further illustrated to be suitable for mass production. In addition, the transmittance of the electrochromic devices prepared in the examples 1 and 3-7 of the application is tested under the condition of 650nm, and the difference between the transparent state transmittance and the coloring state transmittance is about 35%, which shows that the electrochromic device of the application has better performance. The electrochromic devices prepared in examples 1 and 3 to 7 of the present application have small change in transmittance in the colored state after high temperature and high humidity from that in the initial state even if subjected to severe conditions such as high temperature and high humidity, and further demonstrate that the electrochromic device of the present application has stable performance.
And the high-temperature and high-humidity test results of the electrochromic devices prepared in the comparative examples 1-2 show that the occurrence of white edges around the electrochromic devices indicates that the sealant is corroded and aged, and leakage exists.

Secondly, the porosity of the film layer prepared by the electrostatic spinning method is up to 70%, the average pore size is 3 microns, which indicates that the pores are large and sparse and are unfavorable for stably adsorbing electrolyte, so that the electrochromic device prepared by the method has white edges around and electrolyte leakage after high-temperature and high-humidity testing.
