Abstract
In this study, we present a 5,8-bis(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene)quinoxaline monomer with two 4-(octyloxy)phenyl side chains (EDOTPQ) that can be electropolymerized on ITO glass in standard electrolytes containing lithium salts and propylene carbonate as solvent. The electrochemically deposited PEDOTPQ layers show very good adhesion and homogeneity on ITO. The green-colored polymer thin films exhibit promising electrochromic (EC) properties and are interesting for applications such as adaptive camouflage, as well as smart displays, labels, and sensors. Novel organic-inorganic (hybrid) EC cell configurations were realized with Prussian blue (PB) or titanium-vanadium oxide (TiVOx) as ion storage electrodes, showing a highly reversible and fast color change from green to light yellow.
