Abstract

We studied the electrochromic (EC) properties of the cross‐linked phthalate polymer [polyethylene terephthalate (PET) derivative]‐modified electrode. PET showed a vivid color change from clear colorless to magenta by electrochemical reduction as similar to dimethyl terephthalate (DMT) reported previously, because PET contains DMT moieties in the main chain. The PET film‐modified electrode exhibited better coloring and memory properties than DMT. Cross‐linked PET‐modified electrode achieved good coloring characteristics and switching stability. It is revealed that phthalate polymer showed good EC properties than phthalate monomer. Copyright © 2011 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
