The invention discloses an electrochromic device structure containing a
reference electrode and a preparation method. The structure comprises at least one
reference electrode, and a first conductive substrate layer, an electrochromic layer, an
electrolyte layer, an
ion storage layer and a second conductive substrate layer which are stacked from bottom to top, the reference electrodes are arranged on the side, close to the electrochromic layer or the
ion storage layer, in the
electrolyte layer, the reference electrodes make contact with the
electrolyte layer, do not participate in the electrochromic reaction and are used for providing potential reference, and when the two reference electrodes are introduced, one
reference electrode can serve as a third
electrode to form a
voltage loop with the first conductive substrate layer, and the other reference
electrode can serve as a fourth
electrode to form a
voltage loop with the second conductive substrate layer. The other electrode and any one of the other three electrodes form a
voltage loop; according to the technical scheme, the voltage and current changes of the electrochromic layer and the
ion storage layer in the electrochromic device can be monitored, in-situ electrochromic spectrum research is achieved, the potential of the electrochromic layer is accurately controlled based on potential reference, and the electrochemical and spectral
repeatability of the device is improved.
