An Electrolyte‐Free Flexible Electrochromic Device Using Electrostatically Strong Graphene Quantum Dot–Viologen Nanocomposites

Abstract

A strong electrostatic MV2+-GQD nanocomposite provides an electrolyte-free flexible electrochromic device wih high durability. The positively charged MV2+ and negatively charged GQD are strongly stabilized by non-covalent intermolecular forces (e.g., electrostatic interactions, π–π stacking interactions, and cation-π electron interactions), eliminating the need for an electrolyte. An electrolyte-free flexible electrochromic device fabricated from the GQD-supported MV2+ exhibits stable performance under mechanical and thermal stresses.
