Resumo

In this study, a novel all-solid-state electrochromic device (ECD) free of indium tin oxide (ITO), tungsten(VI) oxide (WO3), and Li+ or any other liquid/gel electrolytes was prepared by a cost-effective and industrially applicable spray coating technique. The device configuration consists of a pre-formed Al-coated glass substrate for use as a counter electrode in the fabrication of an ECD with a glass/Al/Alq3/PEDOT:PSS structure. The fabricated device (2.5 x 4.0 cm2) demonstrated a reversible color change between a light-blue (off) and darkblue (on) state, with good and homogeneous contrast. The ECD started coloring at - 0.5 V and was completely colored at - 2.0 V, showing various tones of blue according to the applied voltages. The coloration efficiency was 174.62 cm2/C and the cycle stability was achieved at least 150 times. (AU)
