Abstract

In this work, we describe the synthesis of a new hybrid material, which is consists of the eriochrome black T (sodium 1-[(1-hydroxynaphthcalen-2-yl-hydrazinylidene]-6-nitro-2- naphthol-4-sulfonate) and vanadium pentoxide xerogel using a melting sonoquenching technique. This hybrid material was apply in electrochromic electrodes. The hybrid material was characterized by X-ray difraction, FT-IR, AFM and spectroelectrochemically. The hybrid presented good reversibility and cyclability during 50 cycles studied, electrochromic efficiencies were about 50 cm2 C−1 (375 nm and 400 nm) and the ΔOD at 375 nm and 400 nm were 0.236 and 0.159 respectively wavelenghts. The response times were 0.7 to 3.3 s for 375 nm and 0.7 to 2.0 s for 400 nm. The hybrid is a potential material to be used in electrochromic applications.
