采用循环伏安电化学沉积方式分别制备了聚邻甲氧基苯胺(1)和聚邻甲氧基苯胺/邻硝基苯胺(2)电致变色薄膜,并通过UV-Vis、分光光度仪、场发射扫描电子显微镜(SEM)对其进行性能表征.结果显示:变色膜1在不同电压下能实现湖绿色(U=-0.5V)和淡紫色(U=0.9V)变化,响应时间约15s,最大透光率变化(△Tmax)约10%(500nm);变色膜2在不同电压下能实现橄榄绿色(U=-0.9V)和深酞蓝色(U=1.4V)变化,响应时间约2s,最大透光率变化(△Tmax)约为20%(497nm);SEM测试得到薄膜2的厚度约550nm,且不同颜色状态下其表面形貌及导电性能有较大的差别.由以上结果可以看出:电致变色薄膜2比1具有更快的响应速度和较好的颜色对比度,因此薄膜2是更好的电致变色材料.
Electrochromic films 1 and 2 based on poly(o-anisidine) and poly(o-anisidine-co-o-nitroaniline) were prepared by cyclic voltammetry method,respectively.The physical properties of the films were studied by UV-Vis,spectrophotometer and field-emission scanning electron microscopy(SEM).The results indicate that the film 1 has two obviously different colors as aqua(U=-0.5 V) and lavender(U=0.9 V) under different voltages and its respond time is 15 s,the biggest different transmittance(△Tmax) of film 1 is 10%(around 500 nm).The film 2 also has two obviously different colors as olive green(U=-0.9 V) and deep phthalocyanine blue(U=1.4 V) under different voltages and the response time is 2 s,the biggest different transmittance(△Tmax) of the film 2 is 20%(around 497 nm).From the SEM results,it could be seen that the surface morphologies and the conducting properties of the film 2 are obviously different under the different color states.Based on above results,it can be seen that the film 2 has faster respond time and higher color contrast comparing with those of film 1,so the film 2 is a better electrochromic film.
