Abstract
The synthesis of high-performance electrochromic polymers remains a key research highlight in the field of electrochromism. Herein, a series of donor-acceptor type conjugated polymers are synthesized based on 4,9-Dihydro-s-indaceno[1,2-b:5,6-b]dithiophene (IDT), 3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene (EDOT), benzo[c][1,2,5]thiadiazole (BTD) and benzothiadiazo-[3,4-g]-quinoxaline (TQX) units by Stille coupling polymerization. By fine-tuning the ratios between the monomers, the synthesized copolymers exhibited diverse color options and tunable properties, by applying an extra potential, polymer films transit from yellow, pink, green, and dark brown to highly transmissive state, along with outstanding electrochromic properties in both the NIR region and the visible region, such as high optical contrast, rapid switching response, and excellent stability. As a result, the derived electrochromic devices demonstrate an optical contrast exceeding 40 % and retained over 74 % of their optical contrast after 1000 switching cycles. These findings collectively demonstrate that these copolymers hold significant potential for applications in smart windows and adaptive camouflage as a versatile color palette.
期刊介绍:
Dyes and Pigments covers the scientific and technical aspects of the chemistry and physics of dyes, pigments and their intermediates. Emphasis is placed on the properties of the colouring matters themselves rather than on their applications or the system in which they may be applied.
Thus the journal accepts research and review papers on the synthesis of dyes, pigments and intermediates, their physical or chemical properties, e.g. spectroscopic, surface, solution or solid state characteristics, the physical aspects of their preparation, e.g. precipitation, nucleation and growth, crystal formation, liquid crystalline characteristics, their photochemical, ecological or biological properties and the relationship between colour and chemical constitution. However, papers are considered which deal with the more fundamental aspects of colourant application and of the interactions of colourants with substrates or media.
The journal will interest a wide variety of workers in a range of disciplines whose work involves dyes, pigments and their intermediates, and provides a platform for investigators with common interests but diverse fields of activity such as cosmetics, reprographics, dye and pigment synthesis, medical research, polymers, etc.
