Hexyl‐Derivatized Poly(3,4‐ethylenedioxyselenophene): Novel Highly Stable Organic Electrochromic Material with High Contrast Ratio, High Coloration Efficiency, and Low‐Switching Voltage

Abstract: A novel family of electrochromic materials has been discovered. The electropolymerized poly(hexyl‐3,4‐ethylenedioxyselenophene) film switches color between a highly absorbing pure blue and a nearly colorless bleached state, achieves both a high contrast ratio of 88–89% and a high CE of up to 773 cm2 C−1 while showing a fast switching time and remarkable stability with the contrast ratio remaining 48% after 10000 cycles.

“…The lower ionization potential of selenium leads to a polymer that has a lower band-gap (1.6 eV) than polythiophene. [26][27][28] The greater mass and polarizability of selenium is also expected to lead to improved charge transport characteristics. So far, polyseleophenes have similar hole mobilities, but improved electron mobilities when compared to polythiophenes.…”

“…In situ electropolymerization provides access to uniform polymeric films on conductive substrates with tunable morphologies and thicknesses [271]. However, over the past few decades, electropolymerization has been limited to applications such as electrochromism and conductive films where ion-doping is required [272][273][274][275][276]. Indeed, non-quantitative unlimited electrochemical coupling reactions usually lead to conducting conjugated polymers with high doping states.…”

“…Electrochromic materials have been known for many years, containing inorganic electrochromic materials [11][12] (WO 3 , NiO, et al) and organic electrochromic materials [13][14]. The organic electrochromic materials can overcome the shortcoming of the inorganic electrochromic materials, such as high costs, the long response time and the single color change.…”
