Abstract

In this work, the silica/polyaniline (SiO2/PANI) and silica poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) (SiO2/PEDOT) core/shell composite nanoparticles were successfully synthesized by in situ chemical oxidative polymerization. The SiO2/PANI nanocomposite film was employed as the anodically coloring electrode, and the SiO2/PEDOT nanocomposite film was employed as the cathodically coloring electrode. A viscous gel electrolyte (GE) of polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) and lithium perchlorate (LiClO4) dissolved in propylene carbonates was used in an electrochromic device (ECD). The architectural design of dual-type ECD was glass/indium tin oxide (ITO)/SiO2-PANI/GE/SiO2-PEDOT/ITO/glass. Compared with the single-type ECD based on SiO2/PANI and SiO2/PEDOT nanocomposite films, the dual-type ECD exhibited larger optical modulation, faster response speed, higher coloration efficiency and better cycling stability.
