以壳聚糖(CS)为辅助材料,利用层层自组装方法(LbL)制备了WO3复合薄膜材料(CS/WO3).采用紫外-可见吸收光谱(UV-Vis)、扫描电子显微镜(SEM)和循环伏安扫描(CV)等手段对CS/WO3纳米复合材料的形貌和电化学性能进行了表征.利用电化学和UV-Vis联机技术研究了复合材料的电致变色性能.结果表明,该复合材料呈现出从无色到蓝色的颜色调变,其光反差可达48.0%,着色效率为58.5cm2/C,着色与褪色时间分别为9.5和1.8s.
A nanocomposite material consisting of WO3 and chitosan (CS) was fabricated by layer-by-layer (LbL) method in which CS was used as the additional component. The morphology and electrochemical behavior of the composite film were investigated by UV-Vis spectra, scanning electron microscopy(SEM) and cyclic voltammograms (CV). The electrochromic properties of the film were performed by in situ UV-Vis spec- troscopy and electrochemical station. The results showed that the composite film was found to switch from colorless to deep blue, with the optical contrast of 48.0% and coloration efficiency of 58.5 cm2/C. Further- more, the switching times were 9.5 s for coloration and 1.8 s for bleaching. Obviously, chitosan plays an important role in enhancing electrochromic performance of WO3-based material.
