Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of electrochromic materials technology, and in particular to a thiazothiazolyl triphenylamine derivative, its synthesis method, and its application in electrochromism. Background Technology

[0002] Under the influence of an applied voltage, electrochromic materials can actively undergo stable and reversible optical changes. As materials with high added value and promising applications, they are widely used in advanced portable electronic products and artificial intelligence technologies such as smart windows, automotive anti-glare rearview mirrors, multi-functional displays, and memory. Triarylaniline compounds, as unique electrochromic materials, exhibit good thermal stability, excellent redox properties, and simple synthesis processes, making them important components in optical and electronic devices. However, existing triarylaniline electrochromic materials suffer from limited variety and poor electrochemical performance, insufficient to meet the growing demands of social development. Therefore, researching and developing triarylaniline electrochromic materials with high optical contrast, short response time, and excellent electrochemical cycling stability is of great significance for further promoting the practical application of electrochromic devices.

[0003] Triarylaniline, with a nitrogen atom at its center, consists of three aromatic rings arranged in a propeller-like configuration. Triphenylamine is the simplest of the triarylaniline compounds. This unique propeller structure endows triarylaniline with extremely strong hole transport capabilities and unique free radical properties, as well as excellent redox stability, high hole transport rate, low ionization potential, and strong fluorescence. Triarylaniline is considered one of the most widely used building blocks in organic functional materials, and can be used to construct organic optoelectronic materials with different properties. It is commonly used in the preparation of fluorescent probes, hole transporters, and electrochromic materials, possessing significant commercial application value. The synthesis of triphenylamine derivatives typically employs the Ullmann reaction, but this reaction requires harsh conditions and excessive copper powder catalysis, limiting the application of triphenylamine derivatives in the electrochromic field.
