Herein, we report a multifunctional device with an integrated energy-desalination-smart electrochromic display in one single cell. Specifically, a novel chemically assisted electrochromic desalination set-up was demonstrated using a Prussian blue cathode and an anode comprising Ag or a redox polymer...
