研究目的
To explore the utility of xanthommatin (Xa) as a new broad-spectrum electrochromic material by investigating its spectroelectrochemical properties when adsorbed to a modified ITO substrate.
研究成果
Xa is electroactive and capable of reversible color change in response to a biased potential. When combined with PEDOT:PSS, Xa-based devices produced reversible colors at low operational voltages, illustrating its potential as a new, color-changing material. Future work will include the addition of alternative conductive polymers or templates to expand the color range and increase optical contrast during switching.
研究不足
The study faced technical limitations such as leakage of ionic liquid-based electrolyte from the device over time, which affected the device's performance. Future efforts will be directed at overcoming these technical limitations to refine these materials for practical applications.
