电致变色是指在外加电压下发生可逆颜色变化的现象, 在信息显示器和光学调制设备中具有广泛应用潜力. 导电聚合物聚苯胺作为一类重要的电致变色材料, 其制备工艺简单、成本低廉、响应速度快, 进而备受关注. 此外, 基于金属沉积的局部表面等离子体共振电致变色器件能通过控制金属阳离子的还原来实现金属颗粒或薄膜的沉积, 从而控制器件的颜色或反射状态, 引起广泛兴趣. 本工作通过自组装法制备了基于银纳米线和聚苯胺的纳米复合材料, 得到了既具有导电聚合物电致变色效应又具有银金属局部表面等离子体共振效应的多色电致变色薄膜电极. 该电极在正电位下呈现出深色着色态(透过率25.4%), 施加反向电位时, 电极会先褪色呈现出透明态(透过率83.3%), 然后在更大反向电位下变成深色着色态(透过率10.7%), 具有普通电致变色器件无法实现的双重着色态. 此外, 由于聚苯胺表面胺基与银纳离子的配位, 减少了银离子被氧化后向电解液中的迁移耗散, 改善了电极的多次循环稳定性, 为信息显示和光学调制领域带来新的可能性.

Electrochromism refers to the reversible color change phenomenon under an applied voltage, which demonstrates wide application potential in information displays and optical modulation devices. Conductive polymers, an important type of electrochromic materials, have gained wide attention for their simple preparation process, cost-effectiveness, fast response speed, and good cycling stability. Electrochromic devices utilizing local surface plasmon resonance based on metallic deposition have also attracted great interest. By controlling the reduction of metal cations, the deposition of metal particles or films can be achieved for controlling the device's color or reflection state. Herein, electrochromic nanocomposites combining silver nanowires and polyaniline were synthesized using a self-assembly method to create composite thin film electrodes exhibiting both the electrochromic and local surface plasmon resonance effects. The obtained electrode can satisfy the inherent electrochromic effect of polyaniline itself, which means the reversible variation from light green to deep purple. Meanwhile, under further negative potential, the lower transmittance of nearly 0% of the black state can be achieved. This is because silver nanowires are oxidized into silver ions at a positive potential, and then reduced to elemental silver under the negative potential, absorbing a large amount of light. In addition, different from traditional electrochromic devices based on the single silver ion, the as-prepared electrodes demonstrate reversible modulation due to the adsorption of silver ions by amine groups on aniline, which can effectively reduce the diffusion of silver ions into the electrolyte and thus improving the stability of this combined electrochromic effect. The electrode displays a dark-colored state with the transmittance of 25.4% at a positive potential. Upon application of a reverse potential, the electrode transitions to a faded state (83.3%), and then returning to a dark-colored state (10.7%) at a higher reverse potential. This electrochromic device with dual-colored state, which can not be achieved by conventional strategy, opens up new possibilities in the fields of information display and optical modulation.
