Abstract
The key challenge in the practical application of electrochromic energy storage devices (EESDs) is the fabrication of high-performance electrode materials. Herein, we deposited K7[La(H2O)x(α2-P2W17O61)] (P2W17La) onto TiO2 nanowires (NW) to construct an NW-P2W17La nanocomposite using a layer-by-layer self-assembly method. In contrast to the pure P2W17La films, the nanocomposite exhibits enhanced electrochromic and electrochemical performance owing to the 3D sea-cucumber-like microstructure. An EESD using the NW-P2W17La film as the cathode exhibited outstanding electrochromic and energy storage properties, with high optical modulation (48.6% at 605 nm), high switching speeds (tcoloring = 15 s, tbleaching = 4 s), and high area capacitance (5.72 mF cm-2 at 0.15 mA cm-2). The device can reversibly switch between transparent and dark blue during the charge/discharge process, indicating that electrochromic contrast can be used as a quantitative indicator of the energy storage status.
