journal contribution
posted on 2006-03-13, 11:12 authored by Roger J. Mortimer, Aubrey L. Dyer, John R. ReynoldsAn electrochromic material is one where a reversible color change takes place upon
reduction (gain of electrons) or oxidation (loss of electrons), on passage of electrical current
after the application of an appropriate electrode potential. In this review the general field of
electrochromism is introduced, with coverage of the types, applications, and chemical classes
of electrochromic materials and the experimental methods that are used in their study. The
main classes of electrochromic organic and polymeric materials are then surveyed, with
descriptions of representative examples based on transition metal coordination complexes,
viologen systems, and conducting polymers. Examples of the application of such organic and
polymeric electrochromic materials in electrochromic displays are given.
