Ultrafast and High-Contrast Electrochromism on Bendable Transparent Carbon Nanotube Electrodes

Abstract

Poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) and tungsten oxide films with enhanced electrochromism were prepared by templated electrodeposition on flexible transparent carbon nanotube electrodes. The nanostructured porous architectures obtained by coating the nanotube templates exhibited high contrast with faster switching response, higher coloration efficiencies, and better long-term redox switching stability and resistance to flexure than their homologues on ITO-coated plastic electrodes
