Problems solved by technology

[0006] The inventors have found that the electrolyte layer of the current flexible electrochromic device mainly uses a quasi-solid electrolyte. Although the current flexible electrochromic device can meet the needs of flexible applications, the following problems still exist: (1) due to the There are volatile organic solvents, and the important component lithium salt is easy to absorb water vapor. With the change of temperature and humidity in the external environment, the ion conductivity of the quasi-solid electrolyte will deteriorate, and there will be adverse phenomena such as bubbles on the surface, which will affect the stability of the device. sex

Embodiment 1

[0059] The first step is to prepare the transparent front electrode layer

[0060] Using PET as the material of the first flexible transparent substrate, the PET was cleaned, followed by ultrasonic cleaning for 10 min with detergent, deionized water, absolute ethanol, acetone, and isopropanol, respectively, and then dried with nitrogen. Using magnetron sputtering method, a transparent front electrode layer is plated on the surface of the first flexible transparent substrate. The material for forming the transparent front electrode layer is ITO, the thickness of the transparent front electrode layer is 280nm, and the square resistance is 27Ω / □. The visible light transmittance was 83.5%.

[0061] The second step is to prepare the electrochromic layer

[0062] Preparation of electrochromic layer: using tungsten oxide as the target, an electrochromic layer with a thickness of 260 nm was formed on the surface of the transparent front electrode layer by electron beam evaporation. ...

Embodiment 2

[0075] The flexible electrochromic device was prepared with reference to the method of Example 1, and the difference from Example 1 was:

[0076] The third step is to prepare the quasi-solid electrolyte layer

[0077] The lithium salt was dissolved in the dispersant, and PVDF resin and other additives were added for continuous stirring for 6 h to obtain an initial quasi-solid electrolyte with a viscosity of 960 mPa·s. Then, the electrolyte solution was coated on the first release layer by means of blade coating at a temperature of 25° C. and a humidity of 20% RH. After removing the organic solvent by drying at 70° C., it was placed in a drying room with a relative humidity of 7% RH and a temperature of 13° C. for a equilibration time of 17 hours to obtain a quasi-solid electrolyte layer.

[0078] The fourth step is to prepare the first barrier layer and the second barrier layer

[0079] On the surface of the quasi-solid electrolyte layer away from the first release layer, th...

Embodiment 3

[0081] The flexible electrochromic device was prepared with reference to the method of Example 1, and the difference from Example 1 was:

[0082] The third step is to prepare the quasi-solid electrolyte layer

[0083] The lithium salt was dissolved in the dispersant, and PMMA resin and other additives were added and stirred continuously for 6 h to obtain an initial quasi-solid electrolyte with a viscosity of 1050 mPa·s. Then, the electrolyte solution is coated on the first release layer by means of blade coating at a temperature of 25° C. and a humidity of 20% RH. After removing the organic solvent by drying at 80°C, it was placed in a drying room with a relative humidity of 10% RH and a temperature of 20°C for 24 hours of equilibration to obtain a quasi-solid electrolyte layer.

[0084] The fourth step is to prepare the first barrier layer and the second barrier layer

[0085] On the surface of the quasi-solid electrolyte layer far from the first release layer, the method o...

Abstract

The invention provides a flexible electrochromic device and a preparation method thereof. The flexible electrochromic device comprises a first flexible transparent substrate, a transparent front electrode layer, an electrochromic layer, a first barrier layer, a quasi- A solid electrolyte layer, a second barrier layer, an ion storage layer, a transparent back electrode layer and a second flexible transparent substrate. Thus, the present invention can effectively block the intrusion of water vapor and the volatilization of chemical solvents by respectively arranging the first barrier layer and the second barrier layer on the two opposite surfaces of the quasi-solid electrolyte layer, thereby preventing the quasi-solid electrolyte layer from being damaged in the device. In addition, the first barrier layer and the second barrier layer can also effectively protect the electrochromic layer and the ion storage layer, thereby effectively improving the cycle stability and discoloration efficiency of the device, thereby improving The quality of the flexible electrochromic device and the aging performance such as resistance to humidity and heat effectively prolong the actual service life of the device.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of display, and in particular relates to a flexible electrochromic device and a preparation method thereof. [0002] technical background [0003] With the wide application of electrochromic devices, rigid electrochromic devices can no longer meet the actual needs, and the preparation of flexible electrochromic devices with uniform and excellent performance has become an important research direction for researchers. Flexible electrochromic devices can not only dynamically adjust and control the optical properties of sunlight (reflectivity, transmittance, absorptivity, etc.), but also have good bending properties and have a wide range of applications, such as wearable devices and flexible display devices. [0004] Current flexible electrochromic devices still need to be improved. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION [0005] The present invention has been made based on the inventors' findings and knowledge of the foll...
