Abstract
A covalently bonded WO3/PEDOT hybrid nanorods array has been prepared through solvothermal, oil bath, and electrochemical deposition methods using KH57 as a coupling agent. The obtained WO3/PEDOT shows substantially increased electrochromic performance with an increased response speed (3.4 s for coloring and 1.2 s for bleaching), excellent optical modulation (86.7% at 633 nm), high coloration efficiency (122.0 cm2/C at 633 nm), and distinguished cyclic stability. It was found that the covalent bond interaction between WO3 and PEDOT plays an essential role in property enhancement. The covalently bonded inorganic/organic hybrid nanorods array may promise great potential in developing smart-display and energy-efficient materials and devices featuring low energy consumption, cost effectiveness, and environmental protection.
