Abstract

In this work, two quinoxline type monomers, 10,14-bis(4-octyl-2-thienyl)-dipyrido[3,2-a:2′,3′-c] [1, 2, 5] thiadiazolo[3,4-i] quinoxaline (OTPTP) and 10,14-bis(4-octyl-2-thienyl)-dibenzo[a, c][1,2,5]thiadiazolo [3,4-i] quinoxaline (OTBTP) were prepared, and the electrochromic features of their polymer films that were synthesized on the ITO glass surface by electrochemical polymerization were studied. The electronic characteristics of two different electron-withdrawing groups and their influences on the electrochemical polymerization of monomers and electrochromic performance of the obtained polymers were observed. The electronic performance of monomers illustrated that OTBTP can be polymerized in the lower potential range than OTPTP due to the stronger electron-withdrawing capability of the electron-withdrawing groups in OTPTP which contains two dipyridine units. The UV Visible NIR spectra analysis showed that both polymers, POTPTP and POTBTP, have one broad absorbance band in the region of 400 ~ 1600 nm at the neutral state. The electrochromic analysis revealed that the two polymer films exhibited reasonable optical contrasts in the infrared region of 1000 ~ 1600 nm with low response time (about 5 s) and low band gap.
