In step S14, a plurality of working voltage combinations are constructed according to the charging voltage set and the discharging voltage set, each working voltage combination comprising a sample charging voltage in the charging voltage set and a sample discharging voltage in the discharging voltage set.
[0070] In step S11, the first voltage and the second voltage are acquired. In some embodiments, the first voltage can be acquired by step S111, or by steps S113-S115. In other embodiments, the second voltage can be acquired by step S112, or by steps S116-S118. Thus, the acquisition of the first voltage and the second voltage in step S11 can be any combination of the above embodiments, for example, the first voltage is acquired by step S111, and the second voltage is acquired by step S112; or the first voltage is acquired by step S111, and the second voltage is acquired by steps S116-S118; or the first voltage is acquired by steps S113-S115, and the second voltage is acquired by step S112.
[0071] In some embodiments, the first voltage can be acquired by step S111, in which a first CV curve of the electrochromic device is acquired, and the voltage corresponding to the oxidation peak in the first CV curve is identified as the first voltage. In some embodiments, the second voltage can also be acquired by step S112, in which a first CV curve of the electrochromic device is acquired, and the voltage corresponding to the reduction peak in the first CV curve is identified as the second voltage.
[0072] In some embodiments, the first CV curve is a cyclic voltammetry curve, i.e., a voltage-current change curve, obtained by cyclic voltammetry (CV) test.
[0073] In the present implementation, the first CV curve of the electrochromic device can be acquired by step S1111. In step S1111, the electrochromic device is subjected to cyclic voltammetry test within a scanning voltage range, and the first CV curve of the electrochromic device is detected.
[0074] For example, the first CV curve of the electrochromic device can be obtained by two-electrode cyclic voltammetry test, with PC and LiTFSI as the electrolyte, Pt as the counter electrode, and the electrochromic device being applied with a scanning voltage.
[0075] In some embodiments, the electrochromic device comprises an electrochromic layer and an ion storage layer. Optionally, the scanning voltage can be determined by steps S1112-S1113, as described below.
[0076] In step S1112, the second CV curve of the electrochromic layer and the third CV curve of the ion storage layer are respectively detected by cyclic voltammetry test.
[0077] In the present embodiment, the cyclic voltammetry test can be a three-electrode cyclic voltammetry test, and PC and LiTFSI can be used as the electrolyte, Ag / AgCl can be used as the reference electrode, and Pt can be used as the counter electrode.

[0079] In the present embodiment, after the second CV curve of the electrochromic layer and the third CV curve of the ion storage layer are detected, a third voltage corresponding to the oxidation peak and a fourth voltage corresponding to the reduction peak in the second CV curve can be identified, and a fifth voltage corresponding to the oxidation peak and a sixth voltage corresponding to the reduction peak in the third CV curve can be identified. After the third voltage, the fourth voltage, the fifth voltage, and the sixth voltage are identified, a seventh voltage can be calculated according to the third voltage and the sixth voltage, an eighth voltage can be calculated according to the fourth voltage and the fifth voltage, and finally a voltage interval composed of the seventh voltage and the eighth voltage can be determined as the scanning voltage interval.
[0080] For example, the sum of the absolute value of the third voltage and the absolute value of the sixth voltage can be determined as the seventh voltage, and the sum of the absolute value of the fourth voltage and the absolute value of the fifth voltage can be determined as the eighth voltage.
[0081] Optionally, if the third CV curve of the ion storage layer does not have obvious oxidation peaks and reduction peaks, the scanning voltage can be determined through steps S1114 to S1118, which are described as follows:
[0082] In step S1114, the second CV curve of the electrochromic layer is detected by cyclic voltammetry test.
[0083] In step S1115, a third voltage corresponding to the oxidation peak and a fourth voltage corresponding to the reduction peak in the second CV curve are identified, and a first reaction charge of the electrochromic layer is obtained.
[0084] In step S1116, a plurality of oxidation voltages and a plurality of reduction voltages are sequentially applied to the ion storage layer.
[0085] In step S1117, a second reaction capacitance of the ion storage layer when each oxidation voltage is applied is obtained, and a third reaction capacitance of the ion storage layer when each reduction voltage is applied is obtained.
[0086] In step S1118, the oxidation voltage when the second reaction capacitance and the first reaction capacitance are matched is determined as a fifth voltage, the reduction voltage when the third reaction capacitance and the first reaction capacitance are matched is determined as a sixth voltage, a seventh voltage is calculated according to the third voltage and the sixth voltage, an eighth voltage is calculated according to the fourth voltage and the fifth voltage, and a voltage interval composed of the seventh voltage and the eighth voltage is determined as a scanning voltage interval.
[0087] In some other embodiments, the first voltage can also be obtained through steps S113 to S115. In some other embodiments, the second voltage can also be obtained through steps S116 to S118. Details are as follows:
[0088] In step S113, the electrochromic device is sequentially applied with a plurality of first estimation voltages for long-time charging.
[0089] The values of the voltage and the charging time can be set according to actual conditions, which are not limited here.
[0090] In step S114, the limiting transmittance of the electrochromic device when each first estimation voltage is applied is obtained.
[0091] After each first estimation voltage in step S114 is applied, the limiting transmittance of the electrochromic device can be obtained, and then a plurality of limiting transmittances corresponding to a plurality of first estimation voltages are obtained. Here, the limiting transmittance can refer to the maximum transmittance or the minimum transmittance, which can be set as the maximum transmittance or the minimum transmittance according to the different color changing directions of the electrochromic device; the limiting transmittance, the maximum transmittance and the minimum transmittance can be the transmittance when the transmittance of the electrochromic device basically no longer changes (for example, no longer increases or no longer decreases), or can be the transmittance when the color changing rate of the device is less than a preset rate (for example, 0.4% / min), or can be the transmittance when the color changing time of the device is greater than or equal to 30 min.
[0092] In step S115, when the limiting transmittance of the electrochromic device is stable, the minimum first estimation voltage corresponding thereto is determined as the first voltage.
[0093] When the limiting transmittance (for example, the maximum transmittance or the minimum transmittance) of the electrochromic device does not change with the change of the applied voltage, the minimum voltage in the first estimation voltage corresponding to the stable limiting transmittance can be determined as the first voltage.
[0094] In step S116, the electrochromic device is sequentially applied with a plurality of second estimation voltages for long-time discharging.
[0095] The voltage and the discharge time can be set according to actual conditions, and are not limited herein.
[0096] In step S117, the limiting light transmittance of the electrochromic device when each second estimated voltage is applied is obtained.
[0097] After each second estimated voltage in step S117 is applied, the limiting transmittance of the electrochromic device can be obtained, and then a plurality of limiting transmittances corresponding to a plurality of second estimated voltages can be obtained.
[0098] In step S118, when the limiting light transmittance of the electrochromic device is stable, the minimum second estimated voltage corresponding thereto is determined as the second voltage.
[0099] When the limiting transmittance of the electrochromic device does not change with the change of the applied voltage, the minimum voltage in each second estimated voltage corresponding to the stable limiting light transmittance can be determined as the second voltage.
[0100] In step S12, a charging voltage set is constructed according to the first voltage, wherein the charging voltage set contains a plurality of sample charging voltages.
[0101] In the present implementation, after the first voltage is determined, the charging voltage set can be constructed according to the first voltage.
[0102] In some embodiments, the charging voltage set can be constructed according to the first voltage through steps S121 to S122, which are described as follows:
[0103] In step S121, a first preset value is obtained, and a charging voltage interval is determined according to the first voltage and the first preset value.
[0104] In the present implementation, the first preset value set in advance can be obtained, and the difference between the first voltage and the first preset value is determined as the minimum value of the charging voltage interval, and the sum of the first voltage and the first preset value is determined as the maximum value of the charging voltage interval, and then the charging voltage interval is determined.
[0105] In step S122, a plurality of sample charging voltages are selected in the charging voltage interval to obtain the charging voltage set.
[0106] In the present implementation, after the charging voltage interval is determined, a plurality of sample charging voltages can be selected at equal intervals in the charging voltage interval, and each selected sample charging voltage is determined as the charging voltage set.
[0107] For example, the first voltage can be 1.6V, the first preset value can be 0.3V, based on which, it can be determined that the charging voltage interval is [1.3V, 1.9V], then a sample charging voltage can be selected every 0.1V interval, i.e., 1.3V, 1.4V, 1.5V, 1.6V, 1.7V, 1.8V and 1.9V are selected as sample charging voltages, and are determined as the charging voltage set.
[0108] In step S13, a discharge voltage set is constructed according to the second voltage; wherein the discharge voltage set contains a plurality of sample discharge voltages.
[0109] In the present implementation, after the second voltage is determined, the discharge voltage set can be constructed according to the second voltage.
[0110] The discharge voltage set can be constructed according to the second voltage through steps S131 to S132, which are described as follows:
[0111] In step S131, a second preset value is obtained, and a discharge voltage interval is determined according to the second voltage and the second preset value.
[0112] In the present implementation, the second preset value set in advance can be obtained, then the difference between the second voltage and the second preset value is determined as the minimum value of the discharge voltage interval, the sum of the second voltage and the second preset value is determined as the maximum value of the discharge voltage interval, and the discharge voltage interval is determined.
[0113] In step S132, a plurality of sample discharge voltages are selected in the discharge voltage interval to obtain the discharge voltage set.
[0114] In the present implementation, after the discharge voltage interval is determined, a plurality of sample discharge voltages can be selected at equal intervals in the discharge voltage interval, and each selected plurality of sample discharge voltages is determined as the discharge voltage set.
[0115] For example, the second voltage can be -1.2V, the second preset value can be 0.3V, based on which, it can be determined that the discharge voltage interval is [-1.5V, -0.9V], then a sample discharge voltage can be selected every 0.1V interval, i.e., -1.5V, -1.4V, -1.3V, -1.2V, -1.1V, -1.0V and -0.9V are selected as sample discharge voltages, and are determined as the discharge voltage set. The negative sign in the sample discharge voltage indicates that the voltage is a discharge voltage.
[0116] In step S14, a plurality of working voltage combinations are constructed according to the charging voltage set and the discharge voltage set; wherein each working voltage combination contains one sample charging voltage in the charging voltage set and one sample discharge voltage in the discharge voltage set.
[0117] After the charging voltage set and the discharging voltage set are determined, the working voltage combination can be determined according to the charging voltage set and the discharging voltage set. Specifically, one sample charging voltage in the charging voltage set and one sample discharging voltage in the discharging voltage set can be combined to obtain a working voltage combination, and the step of combining one sample charging voltage in the charging voltage set and one sample discharging voltage in the discharging voltage set can be repeated to obtain multiple working voltage combinations.
[0118] For example, 1.3V in the charging voltage set and -1.5V in the discharging voltage set in the above example can be combined to obtain a working voltage combination, and the above combination step can be repeated to obtain multiple working voltage combinations.
[0119] In step S20, for each working voltage combination, the charging voltage and the discharging voltage of the working voltage combination are used to perform charging and discharging operations on the electrochromic device.
[0120] In the embodiments of the present application, after multiple working voltage combinations are obtained, the charging voltage and the discharging voltage in each working voltage combination can be used to perform charging and discharging operations on the electrochromic device until the charging and discharging stop condition is met.
[0121] In step S30, during the charging and discharging operation, the coloration time corresponding to the change of the transmittance of the electrochromic device in the transmittance change interval is recorded to obtain the coloration time corresponding to each working voltage combination.
[0122] In the embodiments of the present application, during the charging and discharging operation, the coloration time corresponding to the change of the transmittance of the electrochromic device in the transmittance change interval can be recorded to obtain the coloration time corresponding to each working voltage combination.
[0123] The coloration time corresponding to the change of the transmittance of the electrochromic device in the transmittance change interval is the time duration of the change of the transmittance of the electrochromic device in the transmittance change interval. That is, the time required for the transmittance of the electrochromic device to change from one end point of the transmittance change interval to the other end point of the transmittance change interval is the corresponding coloration time.
[0124] In a possible implementation, the transmittance change interval can be determined by steps S301 to S303, which are described as follows:
[0125] In step S301, the first voltage is used to charge the electrochromic device for a first time duration, and the second voltage is used to discharge the electrochromic device for a second time duration.
[0126] The first time length and the second time length can be set according to actual requirements, and are not limited herein.
[0127] In step S302, a curve of the light transmittance of the electrochromic device changing over time is recorded.
[0128] In the process of charging the electrochromic device with the first voltage for the first time length and discharging the electrochromic device with the second voltage for the second time length, a curve of the light transmittance of the electrochromic device changing over time can be recorded.
[0129] In step S303, the maximum light transmittance and the minimum light transmittance are determined from the curve of the light transmittance changing over time, and the light transmittance change interval is determined according to the maximum light transmittance and the minimum light transmittance.
[0130] After recording the curve of the light transmittance of the electrochromic device changing over time, the maximum light transmittance and the minimum light transmittance can be determined from the curve.
[0131] In some embodiments, after determining the maximum light transmittance and the minimum light transmittance, a preset color change coefficient can be obtained, and after obtaining the maximum light transmittance, the minimum light transmittance, and the color change coefficient, the light transmittance change interval can be determined according to the maximum light transmittance, the minimum light transmittance, and the color change coefficient. The color change coefficient can be a value between 0 and 1, and the specific value of the color change coefficient can be set according to actual requirements, and the specific value of the color change coefficient is not limited herein.
[0132] For example, the light transmittance change interval can be determined according to the maximum light transmittance, the minimum light transmittance, and the color change coefficient by the following formula:
[0133] T1 = Tmin + (Tmax-Tmin) x (1-a) / 2
[0134] T2 = Tmax-(Tmax-Tmin) x (1-a) / 2
[0135] Wherein, T1 represents the left end point value of the light transmittance change interval, T2 represents the right end point value of the light transmittance change interval, Tmin represents the minimum light transmittance, Tmax represents the maximum light transmittance, and a represents the color change coefficient.
[0136] In other embodiments, the product of the maximum light transmittance and the color change coefficient can also be used as the left end point value of the light transmittance change interval, and the product of the minimum light transmittance and the color change coefficient can also be used as the right end point value of the light transmittance change interval, thereby obtaining the light transmittance change interval.
[0137] In the embodiments of the present application, the charge and discharge cutoff condition can be set according to actual needs. For example, the charge and discharge cutoff condition can include at least one of the following conditions: the charge and discharge duration reaches a preset duration, wherein the preset duration can be set according to actual needs; the charge and discharge charge amount reaches a preset charge amount, wherein the preset charge amount can be set according to actual needs; and the charge and discharge current is less than a cutoff current.
[0138] In some embodiments, the cutoff current can be determined by steps S201 to S203, which are described as follows:
[0139] In step S201, the current of the electrochromic device is recorded as a function of time during the process of charging the electrochromic device with a first voltage for a first duration and discharging the electrochromic device with a second voltage for a second duration.
[0140] That is, during the process of charging the electrochromic device with a first voltage for a first duration and discharging the electrochromic device with a second voltage for a second duration in step S301, the transmittance of the electrochromic device as a function of time and the current of the electrochromic device as a function of time can be recorded, and the transmittance variation interval can be determined by the transmittance as a function of time, and the cutoff current can be determined by the current as a function of time.
[0141] In step S202, the first current corresponding to the maximum transmittance and the second current corresponding to the minimum transmittance are determined according to the current of the electrochromic device as a function of time and the transmittance of the electrochromic device as a function of time.
[0142] After obtaining the transmittance of the electrochromic device as a function of time and the current of the electrochromic device as a function of time, the first time corresponding to the maximum transmittance can be determined according to the transmittance as a function of time, and the first current corresponding to the first time can be determined according to the current as a function of time, so as to determine the first current; and the second time corresponding to the minimum transmittance can be determined according to the transmittance as a function of time, and the second current corresponding to the second time can be determined according to the current as a function of time, so as to determine the second current.
[0143] In step S203, the larger value of the first current and the second current is determined as the cutoff current.
[0144] After determining the first current and the second current, the first current and the second current can be compared, and the larger value of the first current and the second current can be determined as the cutoff current, so as to determine the cutoff current.
[0145] In step S40, a target working voltage combination is selected from the working voltage combinations corresponding to the color change time less than the preset time, and the charging voltage and the discharging voltage included in the target working voltage combination are determined as the working voltage of the electrochromic device.
[0146] In the embodiments of the present application, after the color change time corresponding to each group of working voltage combinations is determined, the working voltage combination with the color change time less than the preset time can be determined, and the target working voltage combination is selected from the working voltage combination with the color change time less than the preset time, and the charging voltage and the discharging voltage included in the target working voltage combination are determined as the working voltage of the electrochromic device.
[0147] The preset time can be set according to the actual needs of the user, and is not limited herein.
[0148] In a possible implementation, the target working voltage combination can be selected from the working voltage combination with the color change time less than the preset time through steps S401 and S402. Details are as follows:
[0149] In step S401, for each group of working voltage combinations corresponding to the color change time less than the preset time, the electrochromic device is subjected to a charge-discharge cycle under the condition that the working voltage combination is used as the working voltage.
[0150] In the present implementation, for each group of working voltage combinations corresponding to the color change time less than the preset time, the electrochromic device is subjected to a charge-discharge cycle under the condition that the working voltage combination is used as the working voltage (i.e., the charging voltage included in the working voltage combination is used as the charging voltage, and the discharging voltage included in the working voltage combination is used as the discharging voltage). After the electrochromic device is subjected to the charge-discharge cycle, the post-test state of the electrochromic device is detected to obtain the post-test state of the electrochromic device corresponding to each group of working voltage combinations with the color change time less than the preset time.
[0151] The charge-discharge cycle of the electrochromic device can include any one or more of the following steps:
[0152] The electrochromic device is subjected to a first number of charge-discharge cycles under a preset temperature condition; and / or the electrochromic device is subjected to a second number of charge-discharge cycles under a preset humidity condition; and / or the electrochromic device is subjected to a third number of charge-discharge cycles under a preset light intensity condition.
[0153] For example, the temperature conditions can include a maximum temperature condition, a higher temperature condition, a high temperature condition, a normal temperature condition, a low temperature condition, a lower temperature condition, and a minimum temperature condition, and the temperature ranges corresponding to the temperature conditions can be set according to actual needs, for example, the maximum temperature condition can be a condition of 90°C or 85°C, the higher temperature condition can be a condition of 65°C or 50°C, the high temperature condition can be a condition of 40°C or 30°C, the normal temperature condition can be a condition of 23°C or 25°C, the low temperature condition can be a condition of 10°C, the lower temperature condition can be a condition of 0°C, and the minimum temperature condition can be a condition of -20°C or -10°C.
[0154] In some embodiments, the above-mentioned charge-discharge cycle conditions and the number of charge-discharge cycles can also be combined arbitrarily to perform charge-discharge cycles, such as performing a fourth number of charge-discharge cycles under a preset temperature condition and a preset humidity condition.
[0155] In actual applications, the specific steps of the charge-discharge test can be selected according to the application scenarios of the electrochromic device, the performance requirements of the electrochromic device, and other factors. It should be noted that the above steps for performing the charge-discharge test are only examples and are not limiting, and the steps for performing the charge-discharge test can be set according to actual needs.
[0156] In step S402, the post-cycle state of the electrochromic device is obtained, and the target working voltage combination is determined according to the working voltage combination corresponding to the post-cycle state satisfying the preset condition.
[0157] For each working voltage combination in each group of which the color change time is less than the preset time, after obtaining the post-cycle state of the electrochromic device, it can be determined whether the post-test state of the electrochromic device satisfies the preset condition, so that a plurality of working voltage combinations whose post-test state satisfies the preset condition can be obtained. Then, the target working voltage combination can be determined from the working voltage combinations whose post-test state satisfies the preset condition.
[0158] For example, the preset condition can be one or more of the following conditions: the electrochromic device has no defects during the color change process, the electrochromic device has uniform color change during the color change process, the electrochromic device has no failure during the color change process, the light transmittance change interval of the electrochromic device is substantially unchanged, the light transmittance change interval of the electrochromic device has a decay coefficient less than a preset decay coefficient threshold, the color change time of the electrochromic device is still less than the preset time, and the like.
[0159] In the present implementation, if the number of working voltage combinations satisfying the preset condition in the post-cycling state is greater than one, a working voltage combination containing at least one of the lowest charging voltage and the lowest discharging voltage is selected from the working voltage combinations satisfying the preset condition in the post-cycling state as the target working voltage combination.
[0160] For example, if the working voltage combinations satisfying the preset condition in the post-testing state include (1.4V, -1.1V), (1.4V, -1.0V), (1.4V, -0.9V), (1.3V, -1.1V), (1.3V, -1.0V) and (1.3V, -0.9V), (1.3V, -0.9V) can be selected as the target working voltage combination, i.e., 1.3V is selected as the target charging voltage and 0.9V is selected as the target discharging voltage. It should be noted that since the minus sign in the discharging voltage represents that it is a discharging voltage, the absolute value of the discharging voltage should be compared when determining the lowest discharging voltage, i.e., the lowest discharging voltage in the above working voltage combinations is -0.9V, not -1.1V. Of course, according to actual needs, (1.3V, -1.1V) or (1.3V, -1.0V) or (1.4V, -0.9V) can also be selected as the target working voltage combination.
[0161] In the present implementation, if the number of working voltage combinations satisfying the preset condition in the post-cycling state is 0, the plurality of working voltage combinations is updated, and the subsequent steps of performing charging and discharging operations on the electrochromic device using the charging voltage and the discharging voltage of each working voltage combination are performed.
[0162] The updating of the plurality of working voltage combinations can be updating the first preset value and the second preset value, and determining new charging voltage set and new discharging voltage set according to the updated first preset value and the second preset value, and then obtaining new working voltage combinations different from the working voltage combinations that have been tested by charging and discharging according to the new charging voltage set and the new discharging voltage set. After obtaining the new working voltage combinations, the subsequent steps of performing charging and discharging operations on the electrochromic device using the charging voltage and the discharging voltage of each new working voltage combination are performed.
[0163] If the first preset value and the second preset value are updated to obtain new working voltage combinations and the subsequent steps are performed, and the number of working voltage combinations satisfying the preset condition in the post-testing state is 0, the updating of the first preset value and the second preset value is stopped, and the user is returned information that the working voltage determination of the electrochromic device fails.
