Dual-Cation Electrolytes Crosslinked with MXene for High-Performance Electrochromic Devices.

ABSTRACT: MXene, a 2D material, is used as a filler to manufacture polymer electrolytes with high ionic conductivity because of its unique sheet shape, large specific surface area and high aspect ratio. Because MXene has numerous -OH groups on its surface, it can cause dehydration and condensation reactions with poly(4-styrenesulfonic acid) (PSSA) and consequently create pathways for the conduction of cations. The movement of Grotthuss-type hydrogen ions along the cation-conduction pathway is promoted and a high ionic conductivity can be obtained. In addition, when electrolytes composed of a conventional acid or metal salt alone is applied to an electrochromic device (ECD), it does not bring out fast response time, high coloration efficiency and transmittance contrast simultaneously. Therefore, dual-cation electrolytes are designed for high-performance ECDs. Bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)amine lithium salt (LiTFSI) was used as a source of lithium ions and PSSA crosslinked with MXene was used as a source of protons. Dual-Cation electrolytes crosslinked with MXene was applied to an indium tin oxide-free, all-solution-processable ECD. The effect of applying the electrolyte to the device was verified in terms of response time, coloration efficiency and transmittance contrast. The ECD with a size of 5 × 5 cm² showed a high transmittance contrast of 66.7%, fast response time (8 s/15 s) and high coloration efficiency of 340.6 cm²/C.

High-Performance Sustainable Electrochromic Devices Based on Carrageenan Solid Polymer Electrolytes with Ionic Liquid.

Project description:The development of sustainable functional materials with strong potential to be applied in different areas has been growing and gaining increasing interest to address the environmental impact of current materials and technologies. In this scope, this work reports on sustainable functional materials with electrochromic properties, based on their increasing interest for a variety of applications, including sensing technologies. The materials have been developed based on a natural derived polymer, carrageenan, in which different amounts of the ionic liquid (IL) 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium thiocyanate ([EMIM][SCN]) were blended. It is shown that the addition of different amounts of IL to the carrageenan matrix does not affect the properties of the samples in terms of morphology or physicochemical and thermal properties, the most significant difference being the increase of the ionic conductivity with increasing IL content, ranging from 2.3 × 10-11 S·cm-1 for pristine carrageenan to 4.6 × 10-4 S·cm-1 for the samples with 5 and 60 wt % IL content, respectively. A electrochromic device has been developed based on the different IL/carrageenan samples as electrolyte and poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) polystyrenesulfonate (PEDOT:PSS) as electrodes. Spectroelectrochemistry testing demonstrates functional devices at low voltages between 0.3 and -0.9 V. Among the different samples, the one with 15 wt % IL content presents the best conditions for application, presenting an oxidation time of 6 s, a reduction time of 8 s, and a charge density of 1150 and 1050 μC·cm-2 for oxidation and reduction, respectively. The same sample also presents excellent optical density as a function of load density, presenting an optical switch (Δ%Tx) of 99%. Thus, it is demonstrated that it is possible to develop high efficiency and sustainable electrochromic devices based on natural polymers and ionic liquids.

Flexible and high-performance electrochromic devices enabled by self-assembled 2D TiO<sub>2</sub>/MXene heterostructures.

Project description:Transition metal oxides (TMOs) are promising electrochromic (EC) materials for applications such as smart windows and displays, yet the challenge still exists to achieve good flexibility, high coloration efficiency and fast response simultaneously. MXenes (e.g. Ti3C2Tx) and their derived TMOs (e.g. 2D TiO2) are good candidates for high-performance and flexible EC devices because of their 2D nature and the possibility of assembling them into loosely networked structures. Here we demonstrate flexible, fast, and high-coloration-efficiency EC devices based on self-assembled 2D TiO2/Ti3C2Tx heterostructures, with the Ti3C2Tx layer as the transparent electrode, and the 2D TiO2 layer as the EC layer. Benefiting from the well-balanced porosity and connectivity of these assembled nanometer-thick heterostructures, they present fast and efficient ion and electron transport, as well as superior mechanical and electrochemical stability. We further demonstrate large-area flexible devices which could potentially be integrated onto curved and flexible surfaces for future ubiquitous electronics.

Comparison of Machine Learning Models on Performance of Single- and Dual-Type Electrochromic Devices.

Project description:This study shows that the model fitting based on machine learning (ML) from experimental data can successfully predict the electrochromic characteristics of single- and dual-type flexible electrochromic devices (ECDs) by using tungsten trioxide (WO3) and WO3/vanadium pentoxide (V2O5), respectively. Seven different regression methods were used for experimental observations, which belong to single and dual ECDs where 80% percent was used as training data and the remaining was taken as testing data. Among the seven different regression methods, K-nearest neighbor (KNN) achieves the best results with higher coefficient of determination (R 2) score and lower root-mean-squared error (RMSE) for the bleaching state of ECDs. Furthermore, higher R 2 score and lower RMSE for the coloration state of ECDs were achieved with Gaussian process regressor. The robustness result of the ML modeling demonstrates the reliability of prediction outcomes. These results can be proposed as promising models for different energy-saving flexible electronic systems.

Cation-Assisted Lithium-Ion Transport for High-Performance PEO-based Ternary Solid Polymer Electrolytes.

Project description:N-alkyl-N-alkyl pyrrolidinium-based ionic liquids (ILs) are promising candidates as non-flammable plasticizers for lowering the operation temperature of poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO)-based solid polymer electrolytes (SPEs), but they present limitations in terms of lithium-ion transport, such as a much lower lithium transference number. Thus, a pyrrolidinium cation was prepared with an oligo(ethylene oxide) substituent with seven repeating units. We show, by a combination of experimental characterizations and simulations, that the cation's solvating properties allow faster lithium-ion transport than alkyl-substituted analogues when incorporated in SPEs. This proceeds not only by accelerating the conduction modes of PEO, but also by enabling new conduction modes linked to the solvation of lithium by a single IL cation. This, combined with favorable interfacial properties versus lithium metal, leads to significantly improved performance on lithium-metal polymer batteries.

Improved Mechanical Strength of Dicatechol Crosslinked MXene Films for Electromagnetic Interference Shielding Performance.

Project description:Pristine MXene films express outstanding excellent electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding properties. Nevertheless, the poor mechanical properties (weak and brittle nature) and easy oxidation of MXene films hinder their practical applications. This study demonstrates a facile strategy for simultaneously improving the mechanical flexibility and the EMI shielding of MXene films. In this study, dicatechol-6 (DC), a mussel-inspired molecule, was successfully synthesized in which DC as mortars was crosslinked with MXene nanosheets (MX) as bricks to create the brick-mortar structure of the MX@DC film. The resulting MX@DC-2 film has a toughness of 40.02 kJ·m-3 and Young's modulus of 6.2 GPa, which are improvements of 513% and 849%, respectively, compared to those of the bare MXene films. The coating of electrically insulating DC significantly reduced the in-plane electrical conductivity from 6491 S·cm-1 for the bare MXene film to 2820 S·cm-1 for the MX@DC-5 film. However, the EMI shielding effectiveness (SE) of the MX@DC-5 film reached 66.2 dB, which is noticeably greater than that of the bare MX film (61.5 dB). The enhancement in EMI SE resulted from the highly ordered alignment of the MXene nanosheets. The synergistic concurrent enhancement in the strength and EMI SE of the DC-coated MXene film can facilitate the utilization of the MXene film in reliable, practical applications.

Electrodeposited Copolymers Based on 9,9'-(5-Bromo-1,3-phenylene)biscarbazole and Dithiophene Derivatives for High-Performance Electrochromic Devices.

Project description:A 1,3-bis(carbazol-9-yl)benzene derivative (BPBC) was synthesized and its related homopolymer (PBPBC) and copolymers (P(BPBC-co-BT), P(BPBC-co-CDT), and P(BPBC-co-CDTK)) were prepared using electrochemical polymerization. Investigations of polymeric spectra showed that PBPBC film was grey, iron-grey, yellowish-grey, and greyish-green from the neutral to the oxidized state. P(BPBC-co-BT), P(BPBC-co-CDT), and P(BPBC-co-CDTK) films showed multicolor transitions from the reduced to the oxidized state. The transmittance change (ΔT) of PBPBC, P(BPBC-co-BT), P(BPBC-co-CDT), and P(BPBC-co-CDTK) films were 29.6% at 1040 nm, 44.4% at 1030 nm, 22.3% at 1050 nm, and 41.4% at 1070 nm. The coloration efficiency (η) of PBPBC and P(BPBC-co-CDTK) films were evaluated to be 140.3 cm2 C-1 at 1040 nm and 283.7 cm2 C-1 at 1070 nm, respectively. A P(BPBC-co-BT)/PEDOT electrochromic device (ECD) showed a large ΔT (36.2% at 625 nm) and a fast response time (less than 0.5 s), whereas a P(BPBC-co-CDTK)/PEDOT ECD revealed a large η (534.4 cm2 C-1 at 610 nm) and sufficient optical circuit memory.

Sea-Cucumber-like Microstructure Polyoxometalate/TiO<sub>2</sub> Nanocomposite Electrode for High-Performance Electrochromic Energy Storage Devices.

Project description:The key challenge in the practical application of electrochromic energy storage devices (EESDs) is the fabrication of high-performance electrode materials. Herein, we deposited K7[La(H2O)x(α2-P2W17O61)] (P2W17La) onto TiO2 nanowires (NW) to construct an NW-P2W17La nanocomposite using a layer-by-layer self-assembly method. In contrast to the pure P2W17La films, the nanocomposite exhibits enhanced electrochromic and electrochemical performance owing to the 3D sea-cucumber-like microstructure. An EESD using the NW-P2W17La film as the cathode exhibited outstanding electrochromic and energy storage properties, with high optical modulation (48.6% at 605 nm), high switching speeds (tcoloring = 15 s, tbleaching = 4 s), and high area capacitance (5.72 mF cm-2 at 0.15 mA cm-2). The device can reversibly switch between transparent and dark blue during the charge/discharge process, indicating that electrochromic contrast can be used as a quantitative indicator of the energy storage status.

Complementary hybrid electrodes for high contrast electrochromic devices with fast response.

Project description:Fast switching 'transparent-to-black' electrochromic devices are currently under investigation as potential candidates in modern applications like e-papers or with additional functionality as ultracompact iris or switchable neutral filter in camera systems. However, recent electrochromic devices show either a lack of contrast or slow response times. To overcome these deficiencies we focus on a careful material composition of the colouring hybrid electrodes in our device. We have established a nanoporous Sb-doped SnO[Formula: see text] electrode as supporting electrode for chemisorbed electrochromic tetraphenylbenzidine molecules due to its good conductivity in the redox potential range of the molecule. This hybrid electrode was combined with a modified nanoporous TiO[Formula: see text] / viologen electrode to realize a high performance, complementary electrochromic device. Fast switching time constants of 0.5 s and concurrently high change in optical density [Formula: see text]OD = 2.04 at 605 nm confirm our successful concept. The achieved colouration efficiency of 440 cm[Formula: see text] C[Formula: see text] exceeds every high contrast device presented so far.

Graphene based flexible electrochromic devices.

Project description:Graphene emerges as a viable material for optoelectronics because of its broad optical response and gate-tunable properties. For practical applications, however, single layer graphene has performance limits due to its small optical absorption defined by fundamental constants. Here, we demonstrated a new class of flexible electrochromic devices using multilayer graphene (MLG) which simultaneously offers all key requirements for practical applications; high-contrast optical modulation over a broad spectrum, good electrical conductivity and mechanical flexibility. Our method relies on electro-modulation of interband transition of MLG via intercalation of ions into the graphene layers. The electrical and optical characterizations reveal the key features of the intercalation process which yields broadband optical modulation up to 55 per cent in the visible and near-infrared. We illustrate the promises of the method by fabricating reflective/transmissive electrochromic devices and multi-pixel display devices. Simplicity of the device architecture and its compatibility with the roll-to-roll fabrication processes, would find wide range of applications including smart windows and display devices. We anticipate that this work provides a significant step in realization of graphene based optoelectronics.

Self-Assembled Polyaniline/Ti3C2Tx Nanocomposites for High-Performance Electrochromic Films.

Project description:Electrochromic materials and devices are attracting intense attention because of their low energy consumption and open-circuit memory effect. Considering the difficult processing characteristics of electrochromic conductive polymers, we developed a facile and scalable strategy to prepare solution processable polyaniline (PANI)-based nanocomposites by introducing two-dimensional titanium carbon nanosheets (MXene) through a self-assembly approach. The PANI/MXene nanocomposite can be fabricated into porous films via spray-coating process, which show an obvious synergetic effect of both materials, leading to superior electrochromic properties. The optical contrast of the optimized PANI/MXene film reached as high as 55% at =700 nm, and its response times were 1.3 s for coloration and 2.0 s for bleaching, respectively. In addition, the composite film also showed excellent cycle stability (after 500 cycles, the ΔT retention was above 87%). The improved electrochromic properties are owed to the high conductivity of MXene and the formation of the porous composite film structure, which promote the electronic/ionic transfer and migration efficiency. This research suggests that the self-assembly method and the conductive polymer/MXene nanocomposites have a potential application in the fields of electronic functional films and devices.
