Abstract:Aqueous zinc-ionelectrochromic(EC)technology,boasting thecapabilitytofulfillboth safetyandcost-effectiveness requirements,is garnering extensive attention in variousapplication areas including smart windows,thermal management,displays,and camouflage.However,typical inorganic EC materials,such as tungsten oxides (WO3 ),often suffer from slow ion diffusion kinetics and limited optical contrast within the aqueous Zn2+ electrolyte because of the large size and strong Coulombic interactions of the Zn2+ ,whichlimitstheirwideapplicability.Here,ordered WO3 nanowire films,constructedbyaone-stepgrazingangledeposition method,isdemonstrated to boost theresponse speed and optical contrast during EC phenomena. Compared with dense films,the ordered W03 nanowire films with a porosity of 44.6% demonstrateanti-reflective property and excellent comprehensive EC performance,including fast response time(3.6s and 1.2 sfor coloringand bleaching,respectively),large optical contrast(66. 6% at 700 nm)and high coloration efficiency (64.3cm2⋅C-1) .Alarge-area prototype ECdevice(17 cm×12 cm)with fast color-switching is also successfullyachieved.Mechanisticstudiesshow that theimproved performanceismainlydueto theorderedporous nanowirestructures,which providesdirectelectrontransferpathsand suffcient interfacialcontacts,thussimultaneously enhancing theelectrochemicalactivityandfastredoxkinetics.This studyprovides asimpleandefective strategy to improve the performance of tungsten oxide-based aqueous zinc ion EC materials and devices.
