Abstract

The invention provides a flexible electrochromic device and a preparation method thereof. The flexible electrochromic device comprises: a first substrate, a first electrode layer arranged on the surface of the first substrate, a second substrate, a second electrode layer arranged on the surface of the second substrate, n functional layers and n-1 barrier layers, wherein the n functional layers andthe n-1 barrier layers are alternately arranged between the first electrode layer and the second electrode layer, the first electrode layer and the second electrode layer are both in contact with thefunctional layers, n is a positive integer larger than or equal to 2, and the functional layers comprise electrolyte and electrochromic particles dispersed in the electrolyte. Therefore, the drivingvoltage of the flexible electrochromic device is relatively low, and the color changing speed is higher so that the color changing of the device is relatively uniform in the color changing process; the electrochromic particles are dispersed in the electrolyte so that the integrity of the electrochromic particles is not damaged when the flexible electrochromic device is bent for multiple times or the bending angle is relatively large, and the safe use of the device is further ensured; and the manufacturing cost of the device is low.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a flexible electrochromic device and a preparation method thereof. Background technique [0002] Electrochromic devices usually include two opposite transparent electrodes, and there are one or more kinds of electrochromic particles on these two opposite transparent electrodes, and between these two opposite transparent electrodes is filled with what is called " Electrolyte layer" (or "ion-conducting layer"), which is capable of conducting the ions that cause the electrochromic particles to change color. Because electrochromism is an electrochemical phenomenon, the performance of the electrolyte layer will affect the color-changing reaction and color-changing memory of the electrochromic device. Therefore, shortening the conduction time of ions in the electrolyte layer will greatly shorten the color-changing reaction time of the electrochromic device. This fast conduction of ions is obtained in the liquid electrolyte layer. ...
