纳米SiO2微球在PMMA凝胶聚合物电解质中的尺寸效应及其在全固态电致变色器件中的应用

Size effect of nano SiO2 microspheres in PMMA gel polymer electrolyte and its application in all-solid-state electrochromic devices

  • 摘要: 本文采用Stöber法制备了不同粒径纳米SiO2微球,将其加入到聚甲基丙烯酸甲酯(PMMA)基凝胶聚合物电解质中,研究了纳米SiO2的尺寸效应及其对全固态电致变色器件性能的影响。研究发现,正硅酸乙酯和乙醇的体积比影响所得纳米SiO2微球粒径大小,乙醇所占体积比例越大,制备的纳米SiO2微球粒径越小。在PMMA基凝胶聚合物电解质中,当纳米SiO2微球用量相同时,电解质的电化学窗口随着纳米SiO2微球粒径的减小先增大后减小,离子电导率随纳米SiO2微球粒径的增大而增大,在纳米SiO2微球粒径为150 nm时电化学窗口达到最大,离子电导率的增速也变得不明显。当粒径为150 nm的纳米SiO2微球含量为7wt%时,PMMA凝胶电解质的电化学窗口为4.8 V,电导率为1.13 mS/cm。以该电解质组装结构为:导电玻璃(ITO)‖SiO2/碳酸丙烯脂(PC)-LiClO4​​​​​​​​​​​​​​/PMMA‖金属-超分子聚合物‖ITO的透射式全固态电致变色器件,所得器件可在淡绿色和深蓝色之间变色,对比度高达60.1%,且器件的稳定性得以明显提高。

     

    Abstract: In this paper, nano SiO2 microspheres with different particle sizes were prepared by the Stöber method, which were added to polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA)-based gel polymer electrolytes, and the size effect of nano SiO2 microspheres and its effect on the performance of all solid-state electrochromic devices were studied. The results show that the volume ratio of ethyl orthosilicate and ethanol affects the particle size of the obtained nano SiO2 microspheres. The larger the volume ratio, the smaller the particle size of the prepared nano SiO2 microspheres. In the PMMA-based gel polymer electrolyte, when nano SiO2 microspheres content is the same, the electrochemical window of the electrolyte first increases and then decreases with the decrease of nano SiO2 microspheres particle size, and the ionic conductivity increases with the increase of its particle size. The electrochemical window reached its maximum at 150 nm of nano SiO2 microspheres, where the increase in ionic conductivity became insignificant. Then, 150 nm SiO2 is added to PMMA gel electrolyte with a content of 7wt%, which has the electrochemical window of 4.8 V and the conductivity of 1.13 mS/cm. Besides, the electrolyte was used to assembly transmissive all-solid-state electrochromic device with a structure: Electrically conductive glass (ITO)‖SiO2/propylene carbonate (PC)-LiClO4/PMMA‖metal-supramolecular polymer‖ITO. The obtained device can change color between light green and dark blue with a high contrast of 60.1%, and the device stability is significantly improved.
