Abstract:
The current intelligent automation society faces increasingly severe challenges in achieving efficient storage and utilization of energy. In the field of energy applications, various energy technologies need to be more intelligent and efficient to produce, store, transform and save energy. In addition, many smart electronic devices facing the future also require newer, lighter, thinner and even transparent multi-functional power supplies. The unique properties of electrochromic energy storage devices (ECESDs) have attracted widespread attention. In the field of energy applications, they have high potential value and competitiveness. This review focuses on the electrochromic basic principles, and the latest technological examples of ECESDs, which are related to materials and device structures. Simultaneously, this review makes a detailed comparison and summary of example performances. Moreover, the review compares the current mainstream energy storage devices: lithium batteries and supercapacitors, and the main challenges of ECESDs are discussed. Finally, the future development directions in the field of electrochromic energy storage are predicted.
