Abstract

Electrochromism refers to the phenomenon in which certain materials undergo a redox reaction under an applied voltage or current, resulting in reversible changes in their optical properties and color appearance. Electrochromic devices (ECDs) shows great potential in smart windows, anti-glare rearview mirrors and displays due to the advantages of low energy consumption and simple control mechanisms. However, traditional ECDs are unfavorable for wearable and deformable optoelectronics due to the structural rigidity and limited functions. Thus, flexible ECDs integrating visual information with other advanced technologies can realize multifunctionality and further expand their application fields. This review first introduces the structure and recent development of flexible ECDs, followed by comprehensively summarizing the recent development of flexible multifunctional ECDs, including energy harvesting, energy storage, multicolor displays, and smart windows. Finally, the challenges, development trend and future prospects in flexible multifunctional ECDs are proposed and discussed. We hope that this review can guide and accelerate the development of flexible multifunctional ECDs in the new era of smart optoelectronics.

柔性多功能电致变色器件的最新进展

电致变色是指某些材料在外加电压或电流的作用下发生氧化还原反应，从而使其光学特性和颜色外观发生可逆变化的现象。电致变色器件（ECD）具有能耗低、控制机制简单等优点，在智能车窗、防眩目后视镜和显示器等领域显示出巨大潜力。然而，由于结构刚性和功能有限，传统的 ECD 并不适用于可穿戴和可变形光电技术。因此，将视觉信息与其他先进技术相结合的柔性 ECD 可以实现多功能，进一步拓展其应用领域。本综述首先介绍了柔性 ECD 的结构和最新发展，然后全面总结了柔性多功能 ECD 的最新发展，包括能量收集、能量存储、多色显示和智能窗口。最后，提出并讨论了柔性多功能 ECD 所面临的挑战、发展趋势和未来前景。我们希望这篇综述能够在智能光电子学的新时代指导和加速柔性多功能 ECD 的发展。
