The invention provides a triphenylamine self-powered electrochromic material, namely a compound (4-((4-(N, N-dimethylamine)phenyl)(phenyl)amino)benzyl)phosphonic acid and a synthesis method thereof. The invention also provides a self-powered electrochromic device containing the triphenylamine derivative. The novel triphenylamine derivative electrochromic material provided by the invention has double performance of photoelectric conversion and electrochromism; and the device consisting of the compound can realize the self-powering feature, namely that the device absorbs light energy and converts the light energy into electric energy for driving the device to change color. The novel device is simple in structure, low in preparation cost, green and environment-friendly and the like, and can be applied to the fields of buildings, automobiles, displays and the like.
