A flexible electrochromic device (ECD) is a promising technology that is expected to be applied in various fields such as smart windows. Polymer electrolyte is an important component that determines the bleaching-coloration performance and physical stability of flexible ECDs. In this study, a pore-filled polymer electrolyte membrane (PFPEM) with excellent dimensional stability was developed to effectively fabricate flexible ECDs and improve durability. Polyvinyl acetate, which has excellent adhesion, and polyethylene glycol, which can improve ionic conductivity, were filled in the pores of a porous substrate made of polyethylene, which is inexpensive and has excellent physical and chemical stability. The optimal lithium salt (LiTFSI) content of the prepared PFPEM was determined at about 27 wt%, and it was confirmed to possess excellent dimensional stability, adhesive strength, and ion conductivity close to that of conventional polymer electrolytes. Although the visible light transmittance was lowered by the use of the porous substrate, it was expected to act as an advantage in the colored state.

The effect of the heat treatment on electrochromic properties of $MoO_3$ thin films is investigated by studing optical modulation, optical density, response time, and cyclic voltammetry. From the results of XRD analysis, heat-treated at $450^{\circ}C$ in air for 1 hour $MoO_3$ thin films are found to be crystalline while as-deposited film and heat-treated at low temperature (${\leq}300^{\circ}C$) are amorphous. The electrochrornic devices using as-deposited $MoO_3$ films exhibits good electrochromic properties compare to those using the heat treated $MoO_3$ films. It has shown that the heat-treatment affected the stability and the electrochromic properties of $MoO_3$ films.

The electrochromic properties of $WO_{3}$/$MoO_{3}$ and $MoO_{3}$/$WO_{3}$ double-layers have been systemically studied. The double-layers were made by a e-beam evaporation method and investigated by studying optical modulation, transmittance, and cyclic voltammetry. The devices exhibit good optical properties with wavelength range of 400 to 1100 nm(visible and infrared) during coloration as a function of lithium ion charge injection. It has shown that the double-layer electrochromic thin films are improved the electrochromic properties, but the electrochemical properties are less stable.

An appropriate lighting standard for the museum is needed to minimize the deterioration of the exhibits by the light and to increase the ease of perception of visitors. To make the standard, museum lighting recommendations of several countries were analyzed. Using measured color change characteristics of Korean traditional artifacts, illuminance-hours for the artifacts with noticeable color change were calculated for various light sources, and the artifacts were classified into ISO levels. Considerations for making lighting standard and the proceedings to make a decision for the considerations were described. Finally, lighting standard which can be applicable to Korean museum was presented.

전압을 인가하였을 때 전계방향에 의해 가역적으로 색이 변화하는 현상을 전기변색(electrochromism)이라고 한다. 이러한 전기채색현상을 보이는 물질을 전기채색물질(electrochromism materials)이라고 하며, 전기채색 물질에 의한 소자를 전기채색소자(electrochromism device : ECD)라고 한다. 전기채색현상은 투과율(transmittance), 반사율(reflectance)의 가역적이며 가시적인 변화이고, 전기화학적인 산화환원 반응과 관련이 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 Titanate nanotube(TNT)를 제조하고 전기변색소자(ECD)에 응용하였다. SEM, XRD, UV-Vis등을 이용하여 재료학적 분석을 시행하였으며, 전기화학적 테스트로 cyclic voltammetry를 측정 하였다. 그 결과 TNT 분말은 직경 약 20~30 nm, 길이 약 500~600 nm 의 입자형상을 나타내었으며, X-선 회절시험결과 $H_2Ti_2O_5{\cdot}H_2O$의 층상구조를 나타내었다. 제조된 막은 FTO glass 위에 PEI/(TNT/TBAOH)$_{n-1}$/PDDA의 순으로 코팅되었다. 전기화학적 테스트를 위하여 2전극 시스템을 제작하였으며, 여러 종류의 액체 전해질을 제작하여 cycle voltammetry를 시행하였다. 그 결과, 각각의 전해질에서 "-"영역의 산화환원전위 피크가 뚜렷하게 나타났으며, 짙은 갈색으로의 채색현상을 나타냈다. 본 연구의 결과로서 TNT 박막을 이용한 ECD은 광조절 유리로서 뿐만 아니라, 여러 전기채색 디바이스에 응용될 것으로 사료된다.

We prepared polythiophene and poly(3-methylthiophene) films, known as conducting polymer, by electrochemical method. Polythiophene and poly(3-methylthiophene) films were doped and undoped dopant for the studing the understanding of doping mechanism and possible application to the color change switch. We observed that the anodic, cathodic wave and absorption spectra were slightly changed during doping and undoping process in polythiophene. It shows that doping and undoping process were showed some difference by the appearance and disappearance of polaron and bi-polaron. In the relation of the peak of oxidative current density and potential sweep rate of cyclic voltammograms, the amount of dopant in polythiophene film was homogeneously increased at low scan rate. This also can be applied to the poly(3-methlythiophene).

The durability problem of Prussian blue in non-aqueous $Li_+$-based electrolytes has been due to the degradation of the Prussian blue electrode matrix during the insertion/extraction processes by $Li_+$. In this work, we designed and synthesised the Prussian blue without reducing the electrochromic performance in non-aqueous $Li_+$-based electrolytes. Prussian blue was electrodeposited on a glass which has ITO coating, and the coating solution is a mixture solution of $FeCl_3\;and\;K_3Fe(CN)_6$ with deionized water added HCl, KCl, and LiCl, respectively. The durability of Prussian blue was evaluated by an in-situ transmittance measurement during a continuous and pulse potential cycling test, and measured by electroactive layer thickness due to evaluating the degradation.
