Abstract

A reversible electrochromical response of thin poly(2-methoxy-5-(2′-ethyl-hexyloxy)-1,4-phenylene vinylene) (MEH-PPV) films spin-coated on ITO substrates was observed during spectroelectrochemical experiments. The polymer layer changes its coloration from reddish-orange (neutral form) to brownish-green (oxidized form) upon varying the applied potential. The oxidized form showed to be stable even after removing the film from the electrochemical cell, returning to its original form only after electrochemical reduction. The color transitions at different potentials were studied by UV-vis-NIR absorption spectroscopy.
