  • Fabrication of the support via screen printing of indium tin oxide (ITO) nanoparticles on ITO-glass.
  • Electrochemical characterization to address individual metal centers and their oxidation states (e.g., Co2+/Co3+).

    • Main Results:

    • Successful creation of ECMs based on a monolayer of metal complexes on a surface-enhanced ITO support.
    • Demonstrated visible color changes from a single monolayer due to sufficient surface area.
    • Achieved distinct color-to-color transitions by independently controlling the oxidation states of Co, Os, and Fe metal centers.

    Conclusions:

    • Novel monolayer-based electrochromic materials (ECMs) were successfully developed.
    • The ability to electrochemically address individual metal centers enables multicolor transitions.
    • This work presents a promising strategy for constructing advanced multicolor ECMs.
