An electrochromic device (ECD) exhibits a reversible color change on applying voltage by electrochemical redox reactions. Most ECDs have been fabricated using indium tin oxide (ITO)-coated glass as an electrode, which finds applications in smart windows, rearview mirrors, and camouflage. Due to the growing interest in wearable devices, the demand for textile ECDs has been increased rapidly. In this study, we manufacture a fabric-type ECD using polyester taffeta as a substrate. The electrode was prepared by spray coating the mixture of AgNW and PEDOT:PSS in the presence of ZnO. Viologen-functionalized polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane derivatives are used in the electrochromic layer. The electrochemical and morphological properties of the prepared fabric-type ECDs are investigated using cyclic voltammetry and scanning electric microscopy measurements. Besides, we attempt to broaden the limited application field by combining the fabric-type ECD with the battery applications. |
