Abstract:Tris(4-(thiophen-2-yl)phenyl)amine-and dithienylpyrrole-based copolymers (P(TTPA-co-DIT) and P(TTPA-co-BDTA)) were electropolymerized on ITO electrode by applying constant potentials of 1.0, 1.1, and 1.2 V. Spectroelectrochemical investigations revealed that P(TTPA-co-DIT) film displayed more color changes than P(TTPA-co-BDTA) film. The P(TTPA-co-DIT) film is yellow in the neutral state, yellowish-green and green in the intermediate state, and blue (1.2 V) in highly oxidized state. The ∆T max of the P(TTPA-co-DIT) and P(TTPA-co-BDTA) films were measured as 60.3% at 1042 nm and 47.1% at 1096 nm, respectively, and the maximum coloration efficiency (η) of P(TTPA-co-DIT) and P(TTPA-co-BDTA) films were calculated to be 181.9 cm 2¨C´1 at 1042 nm and 217.8 cm 2¨C´1 at 1096 nm, respectively, in an ionic liquid solution. Dual type electrochromic devices (ECDs) consisting of P(TTPA-co-DIT) (or P(TTPA-co-BDTA)) anodic copolymer, ionic liquid-based electrolyte, and poly(3,4-(2,2-diethylpropylenedioxy)thiophene) (PProDOT-Et 2 ) cathodic polymer were constructed. P(TTPA-co-BDTA)/PProDOT-Et 2 ECD showed high ∆T max (48.1%) and high coloration efficiency (649.4 cm 2¨C´1 ) at 588 nm. Moreover, P(TTPA-co-DIT)/PProDOT-Et 2 and P(TTPA-co-BDTA)/PProDOT-Et 2 ECDs displayed satisfactory optical memory and long term switching stability.
