Summary:To obtain an electrochromic device with a quick response and multicolor change, N,N ′-(4-((3-(triethoxysilyl)propyl)imino)methyl)phenyl- N,N ′-diphenyl-4,4′-biphenyl-diamine (TPB-PSSO) containing a tetraphenylbenzidine (TPB) unit and siloxane group was synthesized, and its electrochromic properties were investigated. Using the TPB-PSSO gel film and a WO 3 /TPB-PSSO gel film as active materials, electrochromic devices (ECDs) having the structures indium tin oxide (ITO)/TPB-PSSO gel film/ITO and ITO/WO 3 film/TPB-PSSO gel film/ITO, respectively, were prepared. These two devices exhibited a fast response according to chronoamperometry measurements, with coloring and bleaching times of 4 and 9 ms and 5 and 5 ms, respectively. The WO 3 /TPB-PSSO-based composite device containing TPB-PSSO and WO 3 exhibits fast-response, rich color changes, and good cycling stability.
