Drastic Enhancement of Cycle Lifetime of Electrochromic Devices Using Polysilsesquioxane as an Anchoring Agent
Polysilsesquioxanes were obtained by hydrolysis of viologens having one or two triethoxysilyl groups, followed by their polycondensation, and anchored on the surface of an ITO electrode. The electrochromic properties of the polysilsesquioxanes were investigated and its component was optimized to enhance the cycle lifetime.
