Electrochromic devices show great potential for color
switchability
and ease of manipulation for reflection tuning. However, the devices’
color fit and cycle stability make it difficult to meet the requirements
of functional reflective product applications. Herein, a vanadium
pentoxide (V2O5)–cellulose composite
electrochromic film with remarkable cycling stability and a wide range
of color options is presented. Flexible reflective electrochromic
devices realizing free switching between yellow and blue were successfully
assembled by the prepared composite films; in the test, the device
possesses a low drive voltage (±1 V) and a rapid switching response
time (≤5.6 s) and excellent working status after 1000 cycles.
Besides, the assembled devices demonstrated an exceptional range of
optical reflection modulation upon excitation. This study presents
a direction for the selection of suitable devices in the field of
flexible functional materials and broadens the scope of electrochromic
applications.
