Rapid switching in electrochromic devices based on complementary conducting polymer films
- Univ. of Florida, Gainesville, FL (United States)
The search for stable, rapid switching electrochromic materials that are easy and inexpensive to process has become the focus of a great deal of research in the past few years. Conducting and electroactive polymers are one class of electrochromic materials which may offer a low cost alternative to the traditional metal oxide materials that have been studied in depth. These materials also offer the advantages of having rapid switching rates and a well defined chemical structure. Recently, there have been many new conducting polymer systems developed which exhibit complementary electrochromic behavior and undergo reversible redox chemistry. This presentation will focus on the design, fabrication, and characterization of electrochromic devices based on complementary conducting polymers as cathodic and anodic electrochromic materials. Spectroelectrochemistry results and switching rate determinations will be discussed for two of these polymer based electrochromic devices.
