Question

Application of electrochromic materials in industry

Answer 1

As the ionic transport, and thus the change in optical properties of the electrochromic material is reversible. That is why electrochromic coating, when incorporated in electrochromic devices offers dynamic reflection/transmission modulation of radiant energy. There are many uses of materials whose optical properties can be varied reversibly and persistently by a low voltage signal. As a result, electrochromic devices have fascinating possibilities to be used in the automotive industry, too.
Electrochromic glass represents an important step forwards in the use of glass, both in the field of building construction and in the car industry, as glass of this kind can change its transparency and reflectivity as required, when an electric field is applied for a specified time.
