DEFINITION
Materials which changes their color reversibly when
they are kept in a different electronic state

Categories
1. Soluble in both neutral state and electron
transfer. (ex: ethyl viologen)

2. Soluble in neutral state and form solid in


electrode surface. (ex: heptyl viologen)

3. Form solid in both neutral state and after the


electron transfer. (ex: metal oxide films and
conducting polymers)

Principles in Applications

APPLICATIONS
1. Car Mirrors
2. ECD Windows
3. Sunglasses and Visors
4. Electrochromic displays
5. ECD light modulators
6. Electrochromic Paper
7. Electrochromic Sensors

Future Application
Combination between smart windows and solar
cells. So that the power requirement needed can
be fulfilled by the solar energy.
