Summary: | 碩士 === 國立成功大學 === 化學工程研究所 === 83 === A solid-state electrochromic system is presented. It is
transparent and comprised of a tungsten oxide and Prussian
blue (PB) thin film or its analog couple in combination with a
proton- conducting, solid-polymer electrolyte. Tungsten oxide
thin films have been electrodeposited on TO glass. PB thin
films have been deposited by electrodeposition-galvanostatic
(ED-G) method. The transparent electrolyte is poly(2-
acrylamido-2-methylpropane sulfonic acid), or Poly-AMPS, which
was prepared by UV polymeriz- ation. The tungsten oxide
thin films, which were prepared potentiostatically
between -0.35 ∼ -0.45V vs. Ag/AgCl and maintained charge
density below 600 mC/cm2 show have enough stability
after 1,000 cycles. The transmittance difference measured
at wavelength of 550 nm was greater than 75%. The show
increasing absorption capability by higher potentials, the
films suffered degradation due to hydrogen evolution. When
potential is more negative than -0.4V(vs. Ag/AgCl). The WO3/
Poly-AMPS/PB devices were operated at low applied voltages,
+1.2V to darken and -0.6V to bleach. The response time
was 20s for bleaching, and 17s for darkening when the
devices size was 5cm × 5cm. The coloration efficiency of
the device is measured to be 53.9 cm2/C at 550nm. Two factors
mainly responsible for the lack of electrochemical stability
for the complementary device of WO3/Poly-AMPS/PB. Namely,
the oxygen-containing polymer electrolyte and the charge
imbalance between WO3 and PB electrodes. By substitating PB
electrode with a PB analog, the indium hexacyanoferrate(
InHCF),the device WO3/Poly-AMPS/InHCF apparently accomplishes
higher cycling stability. This is because there is no need to
precharge WO3 and thus preventing charge loss from the WO3
electrode.
