Abstract
Photochromic and electrochromic devices have attracted remarkable attention due to their advantages of low power consumption, eye-friendliness, and broad application potential. However, developing dual-responsive devices with nice memory effect and rapid switching ability remains challenging. Here we report a novel strategy for fabricating dual-responsive photo-electrochromic device (PECD) based on TiO2-Prussian blue (PB) composite film and a novel extended viologen FHP. Exploiting the photocatalytic properties of TiO2, we successfully fabricated dual-responsive thin films and incorporated FHP as a complementary material to enhance the performance of the device. Notably, the resultant PECD exhibited remarkable performance, including long optical memory (33.91 h), fast response (4.6 s for coloring, 10.4 s for bleaching), high contrast (ΔT is 77.2 % at 692 nm), and excellent cycling stability (ΔT loss is smaller than 3.1 % after continuous working for 1000 cycles), highlighting their potential for advanced optical applications.
期刊介绍:
The Chemical Engineering Journal is an international research journal that invites contributions of original and novel fundamental research. It aims to provide an international platform for presenting original fundamental research, interpretative reviews, and discussions on new developments in chemical engineering. The journal welcomes papers that describe novel theory and its practical application, as well as those that demonstrate the transfer of techniques from other disciplines. It also welcomes reports on carefully conducted experimental work that is soundly interpreted. The main focus of the journal is on original and rigorous research results that have broad significance. The Catalysis section within the Chemical Engineering Journal focuses specifically on Experimental and Theoretical studies in the fields of heterogeneous catalysis, molecular catalysis, and biocatalysis. These studies have industrial impact on various sectors such as chemicals, energy, materials, foods, healthcare, and environmental protection.
