Abstract
The ever-growing pressure from the energy crisis and environmental pollution has promoted the development of efficient multifunctional electric devices. The energy storage and multicolor electrochromic (EC) characteristics have gained tremendous attention for novel devices in the past several decades. The precise design of EC electroactive materials can facilitate the integration of electrochromic energy storage devices (EESDs). Such devices can be utilized not only for self-powering but also for intelligent sensing of real-time working conditions through various visualizations. In this review, we systematically introduce the concept, possibilities (electro-responsive materials, device structure, and state-switching time scale), working principles, and significant factors of EESDs. Subsequently, we comprehensively summarize the latest achievements in electro-responsive dual-functional materials, encompassing inorganic materials (transition metal oxides, Prussian blue, polyoxometalates, etc.), organic materials (small organic molecules, polymers, etc.), and hybrid materials (inorganic-inorganic hybrids, inorganic–organic hybrids). Our focus lies on structure/morphology engineering, doping techniques, and hybridization strategy design. Additionally, we illustrate the application of advanced multifunctional materials in various devices such as flexible, stretchable, self-powering, and artificial intelligence devices. Finally, we present the challenges, prospects, and opportunities of high-performance EESDs.
期刊介绍:
Advanced Composites and Hybrid Materials is a leading international journal that promotes interdisciplinary collaboration among materials scientists, engineers, chemists, biologists, and physicists working on composites, including nanocomposites. Our aim is to facilitate rapid scientific communication in this field.
The journal publishes high-quality research on various aspects of composite materials, including materials design, surface and interface science/engineering, manufacturing, structure control, property design, device fabrication, and other applications. We also welcome simulation and modeling studies that are relevant to composites. Additionally, papers focusing on the relationship between fillers and the matrix are of particular interest.
Our scope includes polymer, metal, and ceramic matrices, with a special emphasis on reviews and meta-analyses related to materials selection. We cover a wide range of topics, including transport properties, strategies for controlling interfaces and composition distribution, bottom-up assembly of nanocomposites, highly porous and high-density composites, electronic structure design, materials synergisms, and thermoelectric materials.
Advanced Composites and Hybrid Materials follows a rigorous single-blind peer-review process to ensure the quality and integrity of the published work.
