Description
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.
