Multicolor V2O5/TiO2 electrochromic films with fast switching and long lifespan for camouflage and information display
V2O5,which has multicolor and energy storage properties,is a promising electrochromic material for multi-functional electrochromic devices,but its practical application is limited by its poor lifespan and long switching time.In this work,high-performance V2O5/TiO2 films were fabricated by spraying a V2O5 solution on in situ-grown TiO2 nanorods.Due to the porous structure formed between the TiO2 nanorods and the remarkable electron transfer performance of TiO2,the switching time of the V2O5/TiO2 films decreased.Moreover,the strong adhesion between the TiO2 nanorods and F-doped tin oxide(FTO)glass and the increased surface roughness of the substrates significantly improved the cycling stability of the V2O5/TiO2 films.With a large transmittance modulation(47.8%at 668 nm),fast response speed(τc=5.1 s,τb=4.2 s),and long lifespan,V2O5/TiO2 films were used as electrodes for the electrochromic energy storage device(EESD),which switched in six colors through color overlay:dark orange,sandy yellow,green-yellow,yellow-green,dark green,and dark brown.Inspired by pixel displays,EESDs were designed by segmenting V2O5 films to stagger the display of the elec-trochromic and ion storage layers,which presented 11 types of information based on different combinations of colors.This work provides inspiration for developing multifunctional electrochromic devices,especially for camouflage and in-formation displays.
