Problems solved by technology

At present, the electrolyte layer of flexible electrochromic devices mainly adopts quasi-solid electrolyte, although it can meet the needs of flexible applications, but because the important component of the quasi-solid electrolyte (lithium salt) has the characteristics of easily absorbing water vapor, the quasi-solid electrolyte is difficult to prepare during the preparation process. During the assembly process of medium and flexible electrochromic devices, it is easy to absorb water vapor, which affects the life of the functional layer of the electrochromic device. In addition, during the cycle, due to the existence of water, it is easy to appear bubbles on the surface of the device. The above two All these aspects seriously affect the service life of electrochromic devices, therefore, the application and promotion of such devices are greatly restricted.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of electrochromic technology, and in particular relates to a flexible electrochromic device and a preparation method thereof. Background technique [0002] Electrochromism refers to the reversible change of color and transparency caused by the redox reaction of the material through the electrochemical process under the action of an external electric field or current. This change is due to the optical properties of the material in the ultraviolet, visible or near-infrared region (transmittance, reflectivity or absorptivity) caused by a stable and reversible change under the action of an applied electric field. [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 uniformity and excellent performance has become an important research direction for scientific researchers. Flexible electroc...
