Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of electrochromic materials, in particular to an electrochromic material and an electrochromic device based on dynamic metal-ligand complexation. Background technique [0002] At present, the closest existing technology: the existing electrochromic materials are based on the mechanism of electron transfer, which can be mainly divided into: inorganic oxide electrochromic materials, organic and polymer electrochromic materials, metal-organic ligands Bit-like electrochromic materials. [0003] Inorganic oxide electrochromic materials represented by tungsten trioxide have the characteristics of good stability inherent in inorganic substances and resistance to ultraviolet fatigue. Taking tungsten trioxide as an example, it can achieve a reversible change from colorless to blue under electrical stimulation. Its discoloration mechanism is: when voltage is applied, WO 3 Oxidation / reduction occurs, and at the same...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

The advantages of adjustable color can be obtained by modifying the push-withdraw electronic structure on the chromophore, and its coloring efficiency is high, and the contrast is high. Due to the existence of unstable free radicals and redox sites and color-changing sites during the reaction Poor optical memory effect of the colored/faded state due to dots being in the same structural primitive

At the same time, complex synthesis processes are often required, and the cost is relatively high.

The principle of electrochromism of traditional organometallic complexes is based on the redox of the central metal ion, which hinders the electronic transition between the ligand and the metal ion, resulting in a shift in the ligand absorption spectrum and a change in color. The absorption spectrum is generally relatively broad, resulting in low color purity and slow response speed, which also limits its application

[0004] To sum up, the problems existing in the prior art are: the prior art is based on inorganic oxide electrochromic materials with relatively single color, poor cycle reversibility, low coloring efficiency, and low contrast

However, its structural modification is poor, and it is difficult to prepare electrochromic materials wit
