Abstract Conjugated electrochromic (EC) polymers for flexible EC devices (ECDs) generally lack a fully colorless bleached state. A strategy to overcome this drawback is the implementation of new sidechain‐modified poly(3,4‐ethylene dioxythiophene) derivative that can be deposited in thin‐film form customized high‐throughput and large‐area roll‐to‐roll polymerization process. The sidechain modification provides enhanced properties terms visible light transmittance change, Δτ v = 59% (Δ L*...
Two new multichromophoric electrochromic polymers featuring a conjugated EDOT/ProDOT copolymer backbone (PXDOT) and reversible Weitz‐type redox active small molecule electrochrome (WTE) tethered to the chain are reported here. The careful design of WTEs provides highly behavior with colorless red switching that complements blue backbone. Subtractive color mixing successfully high performing solution processable polymeric layers neutral tint switchable limiting states for application in...
We present the optical, electrochemical, and electrochromic properties of Fe(<sc>ii</sc>)-, Co(<sc>ii</sc>)- Ru(<sc>ii</sc>)-based metallo-supramolecular polymers (MEPEs) self-assembled from rigid, π-conjugated bis-terpyridines with different numbers pyridine linkers.
Abstract Large‐area electrochromic devices (ECDs) based on a cathodically‐coloring, side chain‐modified poly(3,4‐ethylene dioxythiophene) (PEDOT) derivative and anodically‐coloring Prussian blue (PB) are assembled by customized sheet‐to‐sheet (S2S) lamination process. The ECDs with two complementary switching “half‐cells”, flexible PET‐ITO substrates, offer enhanced optical properties in terms of visible light transmission change (4–53%), contrast ratio (CR = 93.4) color neutrality (L* 77.9,...
Despite the long-standing history of electrochromism, there is a lack universally accepted methods for quantitatively comparing cycling stability between different electrochromic materials or devices. By proposing straightforward three-step procedure, we report simple set parameters that describe performance most frequently used materials, namely, conducting polymers, transition metal oxides, metallo-supramolecular and viologens. The main highlights this procedure are an adequate definition...
The cycling stability of flexible electrochromic devices (ECDs) under humid atmospheres is limited by irreversible indium tin oxide (ITO) reduction. A strategy to limit this degradation was developed and tested for model ECDs based on a sidechain-modified poly(3,4-ethylene dioxythiophene) (PEDOT) derivative Prussian blue (PB). This work reveals that the reduced dissolution ITO thin films formation metallic particles surface layers. strongly depends applied electrode potentials in combination...

Confocal micro-Raman spectroscopy has been applied for vibrational investigations on a sol-gel derived hybrid polymer coating. In order to characterize the dimensions of focus inside coating, substrate, and coating/substrate, model that considers both refraction diffraction effects developed. A coating ∼20.2 μm thickness polycarbonate substrate investigated. The spatial distribution Raman intensity in focal volume was studied at different depths within sample response corresponding levels...
Polycrystalline tetracalcium phosphate (TTCP), a material of considerable interest for human implantation due to its similarity hydroxyapatite, was studied by means Raman and FT-IR spectroscopy. The spectra were interpreted on the basis group theoretical considerations. In addition, setting reaction calcium cement (CPC) consisting an equimolar mixture TTCP dicalcium (DCPA) investigated band totally symmetric mode ν1 showed marked factor splittings. splitting components arose at coincident...
