The invention discloses application of a multi-charge derivative based on naphthalimide in a flowing electrochromic device, and belongs to the technical field of preparation of intelligent
electrochromic devices. A plurality of charged functional groups are introduced into the derivative, the
redox activity and the
electrochromism performance are improved, the derivative serves as an active
electrolyte to be combined with a
flow battery framework and
electrochromism, reversible conversion from a full-transparent state to a full-black state is achieved, and the derivative has the full-wave-band absorption characteristic. Compared with a traditional device, the flowing electrochromic device has the advantages that a molecular self-
recovery mechanism is established by
electrolyte flowing, and the cycle life is prolonged; large-area devices are uniformly
colored; the functions of self-erasing light writing, light-driven
energy storage and the like are achieved; the
optical contrast of the device reaches 96%, the cycle exceeds 30,000 times, and the coloring efficiency is high. The
building energy-saving
simulation shows that the indoor temperature rise can be effectively inhibited under strong light, and the
global energy-saving potential is remarkable. An innovative scheme is provided for a high-performance and low-cost electrochromic
system, and the method has wide prospects in the fields of intelligent buildings, optical management and the like.
