Abstract:
Electrochromic energy storage devices (EESDs) integrate energy storage and electrochromism into one smart device that can realize the visualization of the energy level by the naked eyes, which has attracted extensive attention in recent years. It is critical to explore suitable electrode materials for achieving both high electrochromic and electrochemical performance. Herein, we propose an aqueous aluminum-ion electrochromic energy storage device (AIEESD) by assembling the polyaniline (PANI) electrochromic cathode, Al metal frame anode and AlCl3 electrolyte, which yields an open-circuit voltage of similar to 1.22 V and a fast self-bleaching behavior without any energy input. Additionally, the developed device exhibits outstanding electrochromic energy storage performances with discharging capacity of 68.1 mAh m(-2), excellent rate capability, large optical modulation (Delta T = 55% at 630 nm) and high coloration efficiency (93.62 cm(2) C-1 at 630 nm). Moreover, the prototype device can reversibly switch between the multicolor (transparent, light yellow, green and dark blue) when the voltage changes from 0.4 to 2.5 V, which means the energy status can be monitored by the obvious color transition. These results show that the AIEESD in this work has great application prospects for smart windows and energy storage displays.
