Abstract:

Four new copolymers P(EDOT:P3C)-1, P(EDOT:P3C)-3, P(EDOT:P3C)-5, P(EDOT:P3C)-10 were prepared via electrochemical co-polymerization using different molar ratios(1:1, 3:1, 5:1, 10:1) of 3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene(EDOT) and pyrrole-3-carboxylic acid(P3C). The prepared four copolymers have good electrochromic properties, high electrochemical activity and good transmittance. Compared with poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene)(PEDOT), the prepared copolymers have more abundant color change. P(EDOT:P3C)-1 has mainly four colors under different potentials, namely, dark red, pale brown, grey blue and blue. P(EDOT:P3C)-3 and P(EDOT:P3C)-5 possess the color change of purple, light purple and blue. P(EDOT:P3C)-10 can be dark purple, light purple and blue under different potentials. In addition, we also prepared a copolymer P(EDOT:P3C)-1-Ti based on EDOT, P3C and polyoxotitanate cluster[Ti7(OEt)19O5(CoBr)]. This film not only exhibits typical electrochromic properties but also has the ability of electric-catalytic oxidation of water.
