Abstract
A high-performance electrochromic-energy storage device (EESD) is developed, which successfully realizes the multifunctional combination of electrochromism and energy storage by constructing tungsten trioxide monohydrate (WO3·H2O) nanosheets and Prussian white (PW) film as asymmetric electrodes. The EESD presents excellent electrochromic properties of broad optical modulation (61.7%), ultrafast response speed (1.84/1.95 s), and great coloration efficiency (139.4 cm2 C–1). In particular, remarkable cyclic stability (sustaining 82.5% of its initial optical modulation after 2500 cycles as an electrochromic device, almost fully maintaining its capacitance after 1000 cycles as an energy storage device) is achieved. The EESD is also able to visually detect the energy storage level via reversible and fast color changes. Moreover, the EESD can be combined with commercial solar cells to constitute an intelligent operating system in the architectures, which would realize the adjustment of indoor sunlight and the im...

Crystalline WO3 nanoparticles for highly improved electrochromic applications

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors proposed two important criteria for selecting an EC material: the time constant of the ion-intercalation reaction, which is limited both by the diffusion coefficient and by the length of the diffusion path, and the coloration efficiency, the change in optical density (OD) per unit inserted charge, that is, CE= D(OD)/DQ.
