摘要
By converting incident light into electric power,self-powered electrochromic window(SP-ECW)can achieve color change in electrochromic layer with no need for external voltage.In this work,a newly-de signed SP-ECW is proposed for altering its color between deep blue and colorless state according to on/off state of incident light.The device consists of a working electrode with planar integration of photovoltaic(PV)and electrochromic(EC)elements on one electrode,a platinum counter electrode and a redox electrolyte comprising Br^-/Br_3^-couple.A high transmittance modulation of 41%at 582 nm is obtained.Electrical energy converted from light is not only sufficient to drive the device,but also can be outputted to the external circuit.
