Abstract

The present invention relates to an electrochromic solution comprising: a solvent, an anodic electroactive material, a cathodic electroactive material, and a polymer comprising diarylbenzofuranone groups. The electrochromic solution can be gelled at room temperature, and the gel can be self-repaired at room temperature and has no influence on the electrochromic performance of the electrochromic solution. The invention also relates to an electrochromic device filled with the electrochromic solution.

Description

Self-repairing electrochromic solution capable of gelling at room temperature and application thereof
Technical Field
The present invention relates to the field of electrochromism, and more particularly to electrochromic solutions in electrochromic devices.
Background
Electrochromism is an electrically driven color changing technology, and is a process that the color of a material is changed by getting and losing electrons under the action of an external voltage. The material has great application value in electrochromic windows, automobile rearview mirrors, electrochromic glasses, high-resolution photoelectric camera equipment, photoelectric chemical energy conversion/storage devices, military camouflage, decorative materials and the like.
The basic structure of the electrochromic device is similar to a sandwich, and the electrochromic medium is arranged between two substrates plated with conductive materials. Electrochromic devices can be classified into 3 types according to the physical state of an electrochromic medium, and one type is a solution type electrochromic device, wherein an electrochromic material is always dissolved in a solvent. The second type is a semi-solution type electrochromic device, which is accompanied by the transmission of electrons and the change of the chemical properties of materials in the process of switching between a colored state and a transparent state, and when the device is in the transparent state, the electrochromic material is dissolved in a solvent; when the device is in the colored state, the electrochromic material will concentrate at the electrode surface. The third type is an all-solid-state electrochromic device, and the electrochromic material is always in a solid state in the whole process of device color change.
Among the three types of electrochromic devices, the solution type electrochromic device has the characteristics of simple structure, simple and convenient preparation process, short response time and the like, so that the solution type electrochromic device is always a hotspot of the research of the electrochromic device and is widely applied. However, during long-term use, the electrochromic solution may cause phase separation, deposition, or defects to affect vision; furthermore, due to unavoidable external forces, the electrochromic device may be broken, thereby leaking toxic electrochromic solutions and possibly compromising the safety of the driver or other personnel.
In order to overcome the above problems, US5801873 uses an acrylic polymer as a thickener of an electrochromic solution, thereby increasing the viscosity of the solution, preventing phase separation or deposition in the electrochromic device, and reducing the flow rate of the solution, so that it is convenient to clean and reduce the damage of toxic substances to people after the electrochromic device is broken. Although the concentration is high (the optimum concentration is 7-15% (w/w)), the gelation ability of the solution is limited because of no crosslinking; also, in terms of processing, it is first to make a polyacrylic film on the conductive layer of the glass substrate by solvent evaporation, adding to the complexity of the process. US patent 8928966 adds a cross-linked polymer electrolyte having creep resistance properties to the electrochromic solution, but the polymer electrolyte may be electrically conductive and may have some effect on the performance of the electrochromic device. The acrylic acid derivative which can be crosslinked by ultraviolet light is introduced into the electrochromic solution in the Chinese patent CN201410165629.1, the formed gel has good stability and simple process, can inhibit the solution from flowing out after the electrochromic device is broken, and is difficult to repair the gel breakage caused by impact.
