Problems solved by technology

[0004] Generally, electrochromic materials mainly gain and lose electrons through oxidation-reduction reactions, and the resulting new oxidation state or reduced state has a certain color change in the range of visible light. However, due to common organic, inorganic or organic-inorganic hybrid materials, electrochromic materials have limited Therefore, the same electrochromic material is difficult to obtain very rich color changes. However, the electrodeposition of metal silver ions can solve the problem of single color of common electrochromic. Silver nanoparticles are formed on the plate. Silver nanoparticles have a surface plasmon effect related to size and shape. Different color changes can be obtained by depositing the size of nanoparticles, but direct electrodeposition of metal silver ions is difficult to operate. Silver ions cannot exist stably in the electrolyte for a long time in the form of ions. In order to stabilize silver ions, a large amount of stabilizers need to be added, which causes the complexity of the entire electrolyte material and increases the cost. In order to solve the above problems, silver ions are directly prepared in ionic liquids. Nanoparticles or nanoparticles mixed with silver and other metals can greatly improve the stability of metallic silver, and can directly undergo different color changes through electrodeposition, without the need to form nano-silver grains on the plate in advance. Ionic liquids are new A generation of green solution, it has many advantages that general electrolytes do not have, such as negligible volatility, wide potential window and good conductivity, so the direct preparation of silver nanoparticles with surface charge in ionic liquid is a kind of A new potential electrochromic material
