Electrochromism and Electrochromic Devices Paul Monk, Roger Mortimer, David Rosseinsky

The application of electrochromic materials for smart windows, displays, and antiglare mirrors and several applications have been developed such as control of incoming daylight into buildings, smart windows, rearview mirrors, and aphotochromic and electrochromic devices [1–3]. A variable emittance device, vacuum-deposited as a solid-state monolithic thin-film system, can function as an electrically-controlled dimmable mirror in the IR region with reflectance in the 10-90% range. Toppare obtained his PhD (1982) degree from METU. Electrochromic devices based on electrochromism offer the advantages such as high reflectance without the need for external light sources, flexibility, portability and are lightweight. Inorganic and organic electrochromic materials are used in displays, smart windows, and car rearview mirrors. CNST researchers describe a new high-contrast, low operating-voltage, electrochemical optical switch that uses a volume of active dye orders-of-magnitude smaller than that of conventional electrochromic devices. This paper discusses the synthesis of an electrochromic device. In electrochromism experiments, the transport of Li ions is a major factor that affects the electrochromic behaviour. Electrochromic devices (materials that change color when hit with an electrical charge), proton-exchange membranes for fuel cells, loading/delivery materials for biological applications, humidity sensors, and many other materials have been reported. His research interests include conducting polymers and his group has recently been involved in electrochromism, electrochromic devices and photovoltaic cells. Super cool video of electrochromism. Tungsten oxide is the extensively studied . Electrochromism refers to a reversible change in the optical absorption of a material under an applied voltage. Rosseinsky: Electrochromism and Electrochromic Devices (Cambridge University Press, New York, 2007). The electrochromism has atttacted a lot of attention to be used probably for a novel paper-like display, and make hope one day this type of paper-like device could replace the traditional paper to be a nouvel type for reading.
