ELECTROCHROMISM: BASIS AND APPLICATION OF NANOMATERIALS IN DEVELOPMENT OF HIGH PERFORMANCE ELECTRODES

Abstract

ELECTROCHROMISM: BASIS AND APPLICATION OF NANOMATERIALS IN DEVELOPMENT OF HIGH PERFORMANCE ELECTRODES. This review deals with the basis and novel trends in electrochromism, describing the basic aspects and methodologies employed for the construction and analyses of different modified electrodes. The work presents the classic materials used for the construction of electrochromic electrodes, such as WO3 and a view on the basic concepts of chromaticity as a useful approach for analyzing colorimetric results. The report also addresses how the incorporation of nanomaterials and the consequent novel modification of electrodes have furthered this area of science, producing electrochromic electrodes with high performance, high efficiency and low response times.
