摘要

Abstract

Flexible electrochromic (EC) materials have an urgent demand in the current electronic equipment market due to their technological interest and applications. However

at present

few flexible EC devices developed by industry exist due to some problems and challenges still to be solved such as flexibility. In this work

we have successfully synthesized a novel thiophene-furan (TFu) monomer

via

Stille coupling reaction

and facilely electrochemically polymerized in a neutral Bu

NPF

-CH

electrolyte system to afford the corresponding poly(thiophene-furan) (PTFu) polymer film with good flexibility. The electrochemical and photoelectrochemical analyses of the as-prepared PTFu demonstrate that it has achieved the improved EC performance compared with pure polyfuran and polythiophene polymers

and as a result it possesses favorable EC parameters manifested as a reasonable Δ

(32.1%)

faster response (1.38 s)

excellent coloration efficiency (CE

300.9 cm

·C

−1

)

and after a continuous redox process up to 2000 s

its optical stability can be maintained at 96%

and even after 3000 s

it can still be maintained at 80%. In addition

the successful assembly of the electrochromic device of PTFu film can easily realize the reversible conversion of the color from orange to gray. All these systematic studies suggest that the as-prepared flexible PTFu film is a promising candidate for EC materials and has great potential interest for versatile EC applications.
