A Soluble ProDOT-Based Polymer and Its Electrochromic Device with Yellow-to-Green Color Switching Towards Camouflage Application
Yellow-to-green electrochromic color switching plays a key role in the intelligent adaptive camouflage under the visible light environment in future military camouflage applications. Here, we designed and synthesized a soluble electrochromic conjugated pDPTD polymer, mainly based on perylo[1,12-bcd]...

| description | Yellow-to-green electrochromic color switching plays a key role in the intelligent adaptive camouflage under the visible light environment in future military camouflage applications. Here, we designed and synthesized a soluble electrochromic conjugated pDPTD polymer, mainly based on perylo[1,12-bcd]thiophene and the novel ProDOT groups. The pDPTD polymer displayed a yellow-to-green electrochromism with large optical contrast and fast switching times. Based on the pDPTD polymer film, a yellow-to-green electrochromic device was achieved, showing an orange-yellow color at −0.4 V with L*a*b* color coordinates of 88.5, 18.5, and 34.2 and a pale green color at 0.7 V with L*a*b* color coordinates of 85.6, −4.8, and 11.5, together with a large optical contrast of 43.5% and fast switching times of 2.4/3.2 s. These results indicated that the pDPTD polymer could serve as a potential electrochromic material for yellow/green system camouflage applications. |
