    Hexyl-Derivatized Poly(3,4-ethylenedioxyselenophene): Novel Highly Stable Organic Electrochromic Material with High Contrast Ratio, High Coloration Efficiency, and Low-Switching Voltage

    ADVANCED MATERIALS, Issue 17 2009

    A novel family of electrochromic materials has been discovered. The electropolymerized poly(hexyl-3,4-ethylenedioxyselenophene) film switches color between a highly absorbing pure blue and a nearly colorless bleached state, achieves both a high contrast ratio of 88,89% and a high CE of up to 773,cm2 C,1 while showing a fast switching time and remarkable stability with the contrast ratio remaining 48% after 10000 cycles.

    Highly stable electrochromic polyamides based on N,N -bis(4-aminophenyl)- N,,N,-bis(4- tert -butylphenyl)-1,4-phenylenediamine

    Abstract A new triphenylamine-containing aromatic diamine monomer, N,N -bis(4-aminophenyl)- N,,N,-bis(4- tert -butylphenyl)-1,4-phenylenediamine, was synthesized by an established synthetic procedure from readily available reagents. A novel family of electroactive polyamides with di- tert -butyl-substituted N,N,N,,N,-tetraphenyl-1,4-phenylenediamine units were prepared via the phosphorylation polyamidation reactions of the newly synthesized diamine monomer with various aromatic or aliphatic dicarboxylic acids. All the polymers were amorphous with good solubility in many organic solvents, such as N -methyl-2-pyrrolidinone (NMP) and N,N -dimethylacetamide, and could be solution-cast into tough and flexible polymer films. The polyamides derived from aromatic dicarboxylic acids had useful levels of thermal stability, with glass-transition temperatures of 269,296 °C, 10% weight-loss temperatures in excess of 544 °C, and char yields at 800 °C in nitrogen higher than 62%. The dilute solutions of these polyamides in NMP exhibited strong absorption bands centered at 316,342 nm and photoluminescence maxima around 362,465 nm in the violet-blue region. The polyamides derived from aliphatic dicarboxylic acids were optically transparent in the visible region and fluoresced with a higher quantum yield compared with those derived from aromatic dicarboxylic acids. The hole-transporting and electrochromic properties were examined by electrochemical and spectro-electrochemical methods. Cyclic voltammograms of the polyamide films cast onto an indium-tin oxide-coated glass substrate exhibited two reversible oxidation redox couples at 0.57,0.60 V and 0.95,0.98 V versus Ag/AgCl in acetonitrile solution. The polyamide films revealed excellent elcterochemical and electrochromic stability, with a color change from a colorless or pale yellowish neutral form to green and blue oxidized forms at applied potentials ranging from 0.0 to 1.2 V. These anodically coloring polymeric materials showed interesting electrochromic properties, such as high coloration efficiency (CE = 216 cm2/C for the green coloring) and high contrast ratio of optical transmittance change (,T%) up to 64% at 424 nm and 59% at 983 nm for the green coloration, and 90% at 778 nm for the blue coloration. The electroactivity of the polymer remains intact even after cycling 500 times between its neutral and fully oxidized states. © 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

    Poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) (PEDOT)-Coated MWCNTs Tethered to Conducting Substrates: Facile Electrochemistry and Enhanced Coloring Efficiency

    Abstract Composite films of poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) (PEDOT)-coated over functionalized multiwalled coiled and linear carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have been fabricated by a simple oxidative electropolymerization route. The nanotubular morphology of the polymer,CNT composite is responsible for the lower charge transfer impedance, lower internal resistance, and superior capacitive response in comparison to that shown by the control PEDOT film doped by trifluoromethanesulfonate ions. This facile electrochemistry exhibited by the PEDOT,CNT composite film ensues in a remarkably high coloration efficiency of 367 cm2,·,C,1 at 550 nm, hitherto unrealized for PEDOT; thus demonstrating the huge potential the PEDOT,CNT composite film has as cathode for the entire spectrum of electrochromic devices.

    A Dual Electrochrome of Poly-(3,4-Ethylenedioxythiophene) Doped by N,N,-Bis(3-sulfonatopropyl)-4-4,-bipyridinium,Redox Chemistry and Electrochromism in Flexible Devices

    Abstract An electrochromic zwitterionic viologen, N,N,-bis(3-sulfonatopropyl)-4-4,-bipyridinium, has been used for the first time for doping poly (3,4-ethylenedioxythiopene) (PEDOT) films during electropolymerization. Slow and fast diffusional rates for the monomer at deposition potentials of +1.2 and +1.8,V, respectively yielded the viologen-doped PEDOT films with granular morphology and with dendrite-like shapes. The dual electrochrome formed at +1.8,V, showed enhanced coloration efficiency, larger electrochemical charge storage capacity, and superior redox activity in comparison to its analogue grown at +1.2,V, thus demonstrating the role of dendritic shapes in amplifying electrochromism. Flexible electrochromic devices fabricated with the viologen-doped PEDOT film grown at +1.8,V and Prussian blue with an ionic liquid-based gel electrolyte film showed reversible coloration between pale and dark purple with maximum coloration efficiency of 187,cm2,C,1 at ,=693,nm. The diffusional impedance parameters and switching kinetics of the device showed the suitability of this dual electrochrome formed as a single layer for practical electrochromic cells. [source]

    A novel method for electrodeposition of poly(3-bromothiophene) film onto nano- and mesoporous TiO2 film was developed. The PBrT/TiO2 exhibited excellent electrochromic properties with good coloration efficiency and high chromatic contrast, which could be a commercially promising electrochromic material. [source]
