Abstract

A composite film containing poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) (PEDOT), polyoxometalate (POM) clusters K6P2W18O62·14H2O (P2W18) and polyallylamine hydrochloride (PAH) was fabricated by a smart combination of layer-by-layer (LbL) with electro-polymerization methods. The composite film displays enhanced electrochromic performance by incorporation of P2W18 into the PEDOT film. The electrochromic property of the film is significantly improved, resulting in an optical contrast of 54.7% at 600 nm and an absorbance that does not change after 1500 cycles. Additionally, the film provides broader absorption throughout the visible region. These results demonstrate the essential role of POMs in improving functionality on PEDOT for applications in electrochromic devices.
