A 12-fold improvement in the durability of organic electrochromic devices by in situ photocuring

Electrochromic materials have potential applications in products such as smart windows and flexible displays. However, the durability and color range of these materials have been lacking. Chang Gu and co-workers designed an electrochromic (EC) material that can be solidified through light-induced polymerization, which improves its durability and can achieve multi-color regulation if different electrochromic molecules are used.
