    Abstract:

    To solve the problem of poor performance of electrochromic films,which is the critical problem of electrochromic devices adapting to the current demand,the indium-tin oxide (ITO)/tungsten oxide (WO3) films were prepared at room temperature by DC reactive magnetron sputtering on the polyethylene terephthalate (PET)/silver nanowire (AgNWs).The photoelectric properties of AgNWs/ITO composite electrodes and the electrochromic properties of PET/AgNWs/ITO/WO3 films were investigated. The results show that the sheet resistance of the ITO-compositing electrode is significantly lower than that of AgNWs electrode,and the surface is more uniform and smoother.Thereby it overcomes the uneven coloring and rapid performance degradation after a single cycle of the WO3 film.The transmittance modulation of the flexible electrochromic film is 57.4% (at 550 nm) and 69.6% (at 1 000 nm),the colored and bleached response time is 10.4 s and 9.9 s,while the corresponding colored and bleached efficiency is 27.79 cm2/C and 40.45 cm2/C,respectively.In addition,the film can still maintain high transmittance modulation after more than 500 cycle stability tests and 2 000 bending tests,showing great application potential in the field of flexible electrochromic.
