[PMID: 38938807 PMCID: PMC11200217 DOI: 10.1021/jacsau.4c00254] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/20/2024] [Revised: 05/02/2024] [Accepted: 05/16/2024] [Indexed: 06/29/2024]
Abstract
Colored-to-transmissive electrochromic polymers, known for their wide selection of colors and solution processability, have gained great attraction in thin film electrochromic devices that have entered the market. However, their adoption in the real world is limited due to their limited optical transparency and contrast. This study introduces a new molecular design strategy to overcome these issues. This strategy involves using meta-conjugated linkers (MCLs) and aromatic moieties along polymer backbones, which enable transparent-to-colored electrochromic switching. The MCL interrupts charge delocalization, increasing the band gap in the neutral state and ensuring transparency in the visible region. This innovative approach achieves nearly 100% transmittance in the neutral state and a high absorption in the oxidized state, overcoming residue absorption issues in conventional electrochromic polymers. Simultaneously, the MCL and aromatic moieties enable low oxidation potential, facilitating stable transparent-to-color switching. Polymers developed using this approach exhibit wide color tunability, optical contrast exceeding 93%, and cycling stability over 5000 cycles with less than 3% contrast decay. Our research represents a major advancement in overcoming existing challenges, enabling polymer-based electrochromic devices for visual comfort and energy conservation.

Abstract
Tunability of optical performance is one of the key technologies for adaptive optoelectronic applications, such as camouflage clothing, displays, and infrared shielding. High-precision spectral tunability is of great importance for some special applications with on-demand adaptability but remains challenging. Here we demonstrate a galvanostatic control strategy to achieve this goal, relying on the finding of the quantitative correlation between optical properties and electrochemical reactions within materials. An electrochromic electro-optical efficiency index is established to optically fingerprint and precisely identify electrochemical redox reactions in the electrochromic device. Consequently, the charge-transfer process during galvanostatic electrochemical reaction can be quantitatively regulated, permitting precise control over the final optical performance and on-demand adaptability of electrochromic devices as evidenced by an ultralow deviation of <3.0%. These findings not only provide opportunities for future adaptive optoelectronic applications with strict demand on precise spectral tunability but also will promote in situ quantitative research in a wide range of spectroelectrochemistry, electrochemical energy storage, electrocatalysis, and material chemistry.

Abstract
Phthalocyanines have been widely investigated as electrochromic materials because of their large conjugated structure. However, they have shown limited applicability due to their complex electrochromism mechanism and low solubility in common organic solvents. Replacement of central metal ions in phthalocyanines affects their stability and is responsible for various electrochromic phenomena, such as color change. Herein, the relationship between the electron d-orbital arrangement in the outermost layer of transition metals and the electrochromic stability of phthalocyanine derivatives has been investigated. An enhanced solubility of phthalocyanines in organic solvents was obtained through the introduction of quaternary tert-butyl substitution. Electrochromic devices fabricated with transition-metal phthalocyanine derivatives showed high response speeds and good stability. The fast color-switching feature between blue/green and blue/purple makes it a promising candidate for smart windows and adaptive camouflage applications.

Abstract
SPECPs are electrochromic polymers that contain special engineering plastic structural characteristic groups (SPECPs). Due to their high thermal stability, mechanical properties, and weather resistance, they are also known as high-performance electrochromic polymer (HPEP or HPP). Meanwhile, due to the structural characteristics of their long polymer chains, these materials have natural advantages in the application of flexible electrochromic devices. According to the structure of special engineering plastic groups, SPECPs are divided into five categories: polyamide, polyimide, polyamide imide, polyarylsulfone, and polyarylketone. This article mainly introduces the latest research on SPECPs. The structural design, electrochromic properties, and applications of these materials are also introduced in this article, and the challenges and future development trends of SPECPs are prospected.

Abstract
Polyimide aerogel fibers hold promise for intelligent thermal management fabrics, but their scalable production faces challenges due to the sluggish gelation kinetics and the weak backbone strength. Herein, a strategy is developed for fast and scalable fabrication of crosslinked polyimide (CPI) aerogel fibers by wet-spinning and ambient pressure drying via UV-enhanced dynamic gelation strategy. This strategy enables fast sol-gel transition of photosensitive polyimide, resulting in a strongly-crosslinked gel skeleton that effectively maintains the fiber shape and porous nanostructure. Continuous production of CPI aerogel fibers (length of hundreds of meters) with high specific modulus (390.9 kN m kg-1) can be achieved within 7 h, more efficiently than previous methods (>48 h). Moreover, the CPI aerogel fabric demonstrates almost the same thermal insulating performance as down, but is about 1/8 the thickness of down. The strategy opens a promisingly wide-space for fast and scalable fabrication of ultrathin fabrics for personal thermal management.

Abstract
Understanding the ionic composition and distribution in organic mixed ionic-electronic conductors (OMIECs) is crucial for understanding their structure-property relationships. Despite this, direct measurements of OMIEC ionic composition and distribution are not common. In this work, we investigated the ionic composition and mesoscopic structure of three typical p-type OMIEC materials: an ethylene glycol-treated crosslinked OMIEC with a large excess fixed anionic charge (EG/GOPS-PEDOT:PSS), an acid-treated OMIEC with a tunable fixed anionic charge (crys-PEDOT:PSS), and a single-component OMIEC without any fixed anionic charge (pg2T-TT). A combination of X-ray fluorescence (XRF) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopies, gravimetry, coulometry, and grazing incidence small-angle X-ray scattering (GISAXS) techniques was employed to characterize these OMIECs following electrolyte exposure and electrochemical cycling. In particular, XRF provided quantitative ion-to-monomer compositions for these OMIECs from passive ion uptake following aqueous electrolyte exposure and potential-driven ion uptake/expulsion following electrochemical doping and dedoping. Single-ion (cation) transport in EG/GOPS-PEDOT:PSS due to Donnan exclusion was directly confirmed, while significant fixed anion concentrations in crys-PEDOT:PSS doping and dedoping were shown to occur through mixed anion and cation transport. Controlling the fixed anionic (PSS-) charge density in crys-PEDOT:PSS mapped the strength of Donnan exclusion in OMIEC systems following a Donnan-Gibbs model. Anion transport dominated pg2T-TT doping and dedoping, but a surprising degree of anionic charge trapping (∼1020 cm-3) was observed. GISAXS revealed minimal ion segregation both between PEDOT- and PSS-rich domains in EG/GOPS-PEDOT:PSS and between amorphous and semicrystalline domains in pg2T-TT but showed significant ion segregation in crys-PEDOT:PSS at length scales of tens of nm, ascribed to inter-nanofibril void space. These results bring new clarity to the ionic composition and distribution of OMIECs which are crucial for accurately connecting the structure and properties of these materials.

Abstract
Organic persistent luminescence (pL) systems with photoresponsive dynamic features have valuable applications in the fields of data encryption, anticounterfeiting, and bioimaging. Photoinduced radical luminescent materials have a unique luminous mechanism with the potential to achieve dynamic pL. It is extremely challenging to obtain radical pL under ambient conditions; on account of it, it is unstable in air. Herein, a new semialiphatic polyimide-based polymer (A0) is developed, which can achieve dynamic pL through reversible conversion of radical under photoexcitation. A "joint-donor-spacer-acceptor" molecular design strategy is applied to effectively modulate the intramolecular charge-transfer and charge-transfer complex interactions, resulting in effective protection of the radical generated under photoirradiation. Meanwhile, polyimide-based polymers of A1-A4 are obtained by doping different amine-containing fluorescent dyes to modulate the dynamic afterglow color from green to red via the triplet to singlet Förster resonance energy-transfer pathway. Notably, benefiting from the structural characteristics of the polyimide-based polymer, A0-A4 have excellent processability, thermal stability, and mechanical properties and can be applied directly in extreme environments such as high temperatures and humidity.

Abstract
Large-fused-ring-based conjugated polymers possess wide application prospects in optoelectronic devices due to their high charge transport and wide optical absorption. In this paper, three low-bandgap donor-acceptor (D-A) type polymers PBIT-X (X = 1, 2, 3) based on alkylated benzodithiophene and tris(thienothiophene) as donors and thiadiazol-quinoxaline as an acceptor were synthesized via Stille coupling polymerization at different (donor/acceptor) D/A molar feed ratios. The band gaps of PBIT-1, PBIT-2, PBIT-3 were 1.10 eV, 1.04 eV and 1.02 eV, respectively. Spectroelectrochemistry studies showed that the three D-A type polymers have dual bands located in visible and near-infrared regions in the neutral state. The three D-A type polymers possess good electrochromic properties, such as an optical contrast of 56% and response time of 0.3 s. In particular, PBIT-3 could achieve three color changes from magenta to yellowish green to cyan during the oxidation process. The results indicate that these D-A type conjugated polymers based on large fused-ring units exhibit multiple color changes, endowing them with huge potential applications in visible and near-infrared electrochromic devices.

Abstract
Volumetric capacitance is a more critical performance parameter for rechargeable power supply in lightweight and microelectronic devices as compared to gravimetric capacitance in larger devices. To this end, we report three electrochromic metallopolymer-based electrode materials containing Fe2+ as the coordinating metal ion with high volumetric capacitance and energy densities in a symmetric two-electrode supercapacitor setup. These metallopolymers exhibited volumetric capacitance up to 866.2 F cm-3 at a constant current density of 0.25 A g-1. The volumetric capacitance (poly-Fe-L2: 544.6 F cm-3 > poly-Fe-L1: 313.8 F cm-3 > poly-Fe-L3: 230.8 F cm-3 at 1 A g-1) and energy densities (poly-Fe-L2: 75.5 mWh cm-3 > poly-Fe-L1: 43.6 mWh cm-3 > poly-Fe-L3: 31.2 mWh cm-3) followed the order of the electrical conductivity of the metallopolymers and are among the best values reported for metal-organic systems. The variation in the ligand structure was key toward achieving different electrical conductivities in these metallopolymers with excellent operational stability under continuous cycling. High volumetric capacitances and energy densities combined with tunable electro-optical properties and electrochromic behavior of these metallopolymers are expected to contribute to high performance and compact microenergy storage systems. We envision that the integration of smart functionalities with thin film supercapacitors would warrant the surge of miniaturized on-chip microsupercapacitors integrated in-plane with other microelectronic devices for wearable applications.

Abstract
The bifunctionality of chromism-integrated sensors and devices has been highlighted because of their reversibility, fast response, and visual indication. For example, one of the representative chromism electrochromic materials exhibits optical modulation under ion insertion/extraction by applying a potential. This operation mechanism can be integrated with various sensors (pressure, strain, biomolecules, gas, etc.) and devices (energy conversion/storage systems) as visual indicators for user-friendly operation. In this review, recent advances in the field of chromism-integrated systems for visual indicators are categorized for various chromism-integrated sensors and devices. This review can provide insights for researchers working on chromism, sensors, or devices. The integrated chromic devices are evaluated in terms of coloration-bleach operation, cycling stability, and coloration efficiency. In addition, the existing challenges and prospects for chromism-integrated sensors and devices are summarized for further research.

Abstract
Tunable resonator is a powerful building block in fields like color filtering and optical sensing. The control of its polarization characteristics can significantly expand the applications. Nevertheless, the methods for resonator dynamic tuning are limited. Here, a magnetically regulated circular polarized resonant microcavity is demonstrated with an ultrathin ferrimagnetic composite metal layer Ta/CoTb. We successfully tuned the cavity resonant frequency and polarization performance. A huge magnetic circular dichroism (MCD) signal (∼3.41%) is observed, and the microcavity valley position shifts 5.41 nm when a small magnetic field is applied. This resonant cavity has two-stable states at 0 T due to the magnetic remanence of CoTb film and can be switched using a tiny magnetic field (∼0.01 T). Our result shows that the ferrimagnetic film-based tunable microcavity can be a highly promising candidate for on-chip magneto-optical (MO) devices.

Abstract
Electrochromic devices (ECDs) have emerged as a unique class of optoelectronic devices for the development of smart windows. However, current ECDs typically suffer from low coloration efficiency (CE) and high energy consumption, which have thus hindered their practical applications, especially as components in solar-powered EC windows. Here, the high-performance ECDs with a fully crystalline viologen-immobilized 2D polymer (V2DP) thin film as the color-switching layer is demonstrated. The high density of vertically oriented pore channels (pore size ≈ 4.5 nm; pore density ≈ 5.8 × 1016 m-2 ) in the synthetic V2DP film enables high utilization of redox-active viologen moieties and benefits for Li+ ion diffusion/transport. As a result, the as-fabricated ECDs achieve a rapid switching speed (coloration, 2.8 s; bleaching, 1.2 s), and a high CE (989 cm2 C-1 ), and low energy consumption (21.1 µW cm-2 ). Moreover, it is managed to fabricate transmission-tunable, self-sustainable EC window prototypes by vertically integrating the V2DP ECDs with transparent solar cells. This work sheds light on designing electroactive 2D polymers with molecular precision for optoelectronics and paves a practical route toward developing self-powered EC windows to offset the electricity consumption of buildings.

Abstract
Flexible displays on a polyimide (PI) substrate are widely regarded as a promising next-generation display technology due to their versatility in various applications. Among other bendable materials used as display panel substrates, PI is especially suitable for flexible displays for its high glass transition temperature and low coefficient of thermal expansion. PI cured under various temperatures (260 °C, 360 °C, and 460 °C) was implemented in metal-insulator-metal (MIM) capacitors, amorphous indium gallium zinc oxide (a-IGZO) thin-film transistors (TFT), and actual display panels to analyze device stability and panel product characteristics. Through electrical analysis of the MIM capacitor, it was confirmed that the charging effect in the PI substrates intensified as the PI curing temperature increased. The threshold voltage shift (ΔVth) of the samples was found to increase with rising curing temperature under negative bias temperature stress (NBTS) due to the charging effect. Our analyses also show that increasing ΔVth exacerbates the image sticking phenomenon observed in display panels. These findings ultimately present a direct correlation between the curing temperature of polyimide substrates and the panel image sticking phenomenon, which could provide an insight into the improvement of future PI-substrate-based displays.

Transparent-to-colored electrochromic devices exhibit promising application prospects and have gained popularity. Herein, two triphenylamine derivatives TPA-OCH3 and TPA-CN with styryl moieties and different donor or acceptor units were designed and synthesized to further prepare solvent-resistant thermally cross-linking polymer P(TPA-OCH3) and P(TPA-CN) without any additional initiator. P(TPA-OCH3) and P(TPA-CN) possess two pairs of redox peaks, and P(TPA-OCH3) shows a lower onset oxidation potential compared to P(TPA-CN) because of the pendent donor unit. Correspondingly, both polymers exhibit multicolored changes from the neutral colorless state to noticeable oxidized colors under different potentials. Furthermore, the thermally cross-linking copolymer P(TPA-OCH3-co-TPA-CN) was obtained by TPA-OCH3 and TPA-CN (the molar ratio is 2:1) and presents outstanding electrochromism with four color changes (colorless-orange-blue-purple) due to the multistep redox process of TPA-OCH3 and TPA-CN units. It is more intriguing that the electrochromic device based on the copolymer films possesses a high optical contrast of 57.8% at 680 nm, fast switching time (0.52 and 0.66 s), and robust cyclic stability over 30 000 cycles with very little decay. Therefore, the thermally cross-linking copolymer is a promising candidate material for high-performance transmittive electrochromic devices, such as smart windows, sunglasses, and E-papers.

Abstract
Transition metal oxides (TMOs) are promising electrochromic (EC) materials for applications such as smart windows and displays, yet the challenge still exists to achieve good flexibility, high coloration efficiency and fast response simultaneously. MXenes (e.g. Ti3C2Tx) and their derived TMOs (e.g. 2D TiO2) are good candidates for high-performance and flexible EC devices because of their 2D nature and the possibility of assembling them into loosely networked structures. Here we demonstrate flexible, fast, and high-coloration-efficiency EC devices based on self-assembled 2D TiO2/Ti3C2Tx heterostructures, with the Ti3C2Tx layer as the transparent electrode, and the 2D TiO2 layer as the EC layer. Benefiting from the well-balanced porosity and connectivity of these assembled nanometer-thick heterostructures, they present fast and efficient ion and electron transport, as well as superior mechanical and electrochemical stability. We further demonstrate large-area flexible devices which could potentially be integrated onto curved and flexible surfaces for future ubiquitous electronics.

Abstract
Designing surface-confined molecular systems capable of expressing changes in functional properties as a result of slight variations in chemical structure under the influence of an external stimulus is of contemporary interest. In this context, we have designed three tetraterpyridine ligands with variations in their core architecture (phenyl vs tetraphenylethynyl vs bithiophene) to create spray-coated electrochromic assemblies of iron(II)-based metallosupramolecular polymer network films on transparent conducting oxide substrates. These assemblies exhibited molecular permeability and spectroelectrochemical properties that are in turn dictated by the ligand structure. Electrochromic films with high coloration efficiencies (up to 1050 cm2/C) and superior optical contrast (up to 76%) with a concomitant color-to-color redox transition were readily achieved. These functional switching elements were integrated into sandwich-type electrochromic cells (CE up to 641 cm2/C) that exhibited high contrast ratios of up to 56%, with attractive ON-OFF ratios, fast switching kinetics, and high operational stability. Every measurable spectroelectrochemical property of the films and devices is an associated function of the ligand structure that coordinates the same metal ion to different extents. While exhibiting a ligand-structure induced differential metal coordination leading to porosity and spectroelectrochemical diversification, these assemblies allow the creation of electrochromic patterns and images by a simple spray-coating technique.

Abstract
Stable doping of indacenodithieno[3,2-b]thiophene (IDTT) structures enables easy color tuning and significant improvement in the charge storage capacity of electrochromic polymers, making use of their full potential as electrochromic supercapacitors and in other emerging hybrid applications. Here, the IDTT structure is copolymerized with four different donor-acceptor-donor (DAD) units, with subtle changes in their electron-donating and electron-withdrawing characters, so as to obtain four different donor-acceptor copolymers. The polymers attain important form factor requirements for electrochromic supercapacitors: desired switching between achromatic black and transparent states (L*a*b* 45.9, -3.1, -4.2/86.7, -2.2, and -2.7 for PIDTT-TBT), high optical contrast (72% for PIDTT-TBzT), and excellent electrochemical redox stability (Ired/Iox ca. 1.0 for PIDTT-EBE). Poly[indacenodithieno[3,2-b]thiophene-2,8-diyl-alt-4,7-bis(2,3-dihydrothieno[3,4-b][1,4]dioxin-5-yl)-2-(2-hexyldecyl)-2H-benzo[d][1,2,3]triazole-7,7'-diyl] (PIDTT-EBzE) stands out as delivering simultaneously a high contrast (69%) and doping level (>100%) and specific capacitance (260 F g-1). This work introduces IDTT-based polymers as bifunctional electro-optical materials for potential use in color-tailored, color-indicating, and self-regulating smart energy systems.

Abstract
Transmissive-to-colored electrochromism has been achieved by combination of MLCT of transition metal complexes with the electrochromic properties of ligand molecules. The color transitions were from yellow to dark brown for the Fe(ii) complex, yellow to orange to bluish-green for the Co(ii) complex and yellow to green for the Zn(ii) complex. By using a metal ion-ligand coordination approach, the self-assembly of hydrazone-based ligands containing a triphenylamine group with appropriate metal salts (FeCl2, Co(ClO4)2 and Zn(BF4)2) produced novel complexes of the general formula [ML2]X2. The isolated complexes were characterized by spectroscopic methods, and the Co(ii) complex also by X-ray diffraction analysis. Thin films of the complexes have been obtained by a spray-coating method and they were used in the construction of electrochromic devices, which showed good electrochromic stability, a high color contrast of 47.5% for Fe(ii), 37.2% for Co(ii) and 33.7% for Zn(ii) complexes and fast coloring and bleaching times.

Abstract
The article describes novel electrochromic materials (ECMs) that are based on a monolayer consisting of two or three isostructural metal complexes of 4'-(pyridin-4-yl)-2,2':6',2''-terpyridine simultaneously deposited on surface-enhanced support. The support was made by screen printing of indium tin oxide (ITO) nanoparticles on ITO-glass and has a surface area sufficient for a monolayer to give color visible to the naked eye. The ability to separately electrochemically address the oxidation state of the metal centers on the surface (i.e., Co2+/Co3+, Os2+/Os3+, and Fe2+/Fe3+) provides an opportunity to achieve several distinct color-to-color transitions, thus opening the door for constructing monolayer-based multicolor ECMs.

Abstract
Transparent polyimides (PI) films with outstanding overall performance are attractive for next generation optoelectronic and microelectronic applications. Semi-alicyclic PIs derived from alicyclic dianhydrides and aromatic diamines have proved effective to prepare transparent PIs with high transmittance. To optimize the combined properties of semi-alicyclic PIs, incorporating bulky trifluoromethyl groups into the backbones is regarded as a powerful tool. However, the lack of fundamental understanding of structure–property relationships of fluorinated semi-alicyclic PIs constrains the design and engineering of advanced films for such challenging applications. Herein, a series of semi-alicyclic PIs derived from alicyclic dianhydrides and trifluoromethyl-containing aromatic diamines was synthesized by solution polycondensation at high temperature. The effects of alicyclic structures and bulky trifluoromethyl groups on thermal, dielectric and optical properties of PIs were investigated systematically. These PI films had excellent solubility, low water absorption and good mechanical property. They showed high heat resistance with Tg in the range of 294–390 °C. It is noted that tensile strength and thermal stability were greatly affected by the rigid linkages and alicyclic moieties, respectively. These films exhibited obviously low refractive indices and significantly reduced dielectric constants from 2.61 to 2.76, together with low optical birefringence and dielectric anisotropy. Highly transparent films exhibited cutoff wavelength even as low as 298 nm and transmittance at 500 nm over 85%, displaying almost colorless appearance with yellowness index (b*) below 4.2. The remarkable optical improvement should be mainly ascribed to both weak electron-accepting alicyclic units and bulky electron-withdrawing trifluoromethyl or sulfone groups. The present work provides an effective strategy to design molecular structures of optically transparent PIs for a trade-off between solution-processability, low water uptake, good toughness, high heat resistance, low dielectric constant and excellent optical transparency.

Abstract
Although high-performance donor-acceptor (D-A)-type polymers have received much attention as an important class of electrochromic (EC) materials, the related studies have mostly focused on the influence of D and A units on the band gap, onset potential, and switching time, leaving the effect of D-A structures on cycling lifetime underexplored. Herein, we design and synthesize a series of poly(aryl amino sulfone)s (PAASs) as D-A polymers with triphenylamine-based donor units and the sulfone moiety as the acceptor unit. As a result, we present new rules to design and develop D-A structure polymers with high EC cycling stability: (1) the electron-donating and -withdrawing abilities of the donor and acceptor should be balanced during the electrochemical cycle process, and this balance can be measured by the ratio of Jred/Jox; (2) the D-A structure should benefit to generate lower Eonset. By these design rules, the best-performing polymer PAAS-TPPA-OMe exhibits an excellent long-term cycling stability (over 3,900 cycles), low onset potential (0.26 V), fast switching time (6.0/4.3 s for the EC process), high contrast (87% at 688 nm and 94% at 928 nm), and high coloration efficiency (500 cm2 C-1 at 688 nm and 1131 cm2 C-1 at 928 nm).

Reduced Coefficients of Linear Thermal Expansion of Colorless and Transparent Semi-Alicyclic Polyimide Films via Incorporation of Rigid-Rod Amide Moiety: Preparation and Properties. Polymers (Basel) 2020; 12:polym12020413. [PMID: 32054073 PMCID: PMC7077667 DOI: 10.3390/polym12020413] [Citation(s) in RCA: 15] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/25/2019] [Revised: 02/01/2020] [Accepted: 02/10/2020] [Indexed: 11/16/2022] Open
Abstract
Semi-alicyclic colorless and transparent polyimide (CPI) films usually suffer from the high linear coefficients of thermal expansion (CTEs) due to the intrinsic thermo-sensitive alicyclic segments in the polymers. A series of semi-alicyclic CPI films containing rigid-rod amide moieties were successfully prepared in the current work in order to reduce the CTEs of the CPI films while maintaining their original optical transparency and solution-processability. For this purpose, two alicyclic dianhydrides, hydrogenated pyromellitic anhydride (HPMDA, I), and hydrogenated 3,3',4,4'-biphenyltetracarboxylic dianhydride (HBPDA, II) were polymerized with two amide-bridged aromatic diamines, 2-methyl-4,4'-diaminobenzanilide (MeDABA, a) and 2-chloro-4,4'-diaminobenzanilide (ClDABA, b) respectively to afford four CPI resins. The derived CPI resins were all soluble in polar aprotic solvents, including N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone (NMP) and N,N-dimethylacetamide (DMAc). Flexible and tough CPI films were successfully prepared by casing the PI solutions onto glass substrates followed by thermally cured at elevated temperatures from 80 °C to 250 °C. The MeDABA derived PI-Ia (HPMDA-MeDABA) and PI-IIa (HBPDA-MeDABA) exhibited superior optical transparency compared to those derived from ClDABA (PI-Ib and PI-IIb). PI-Ia and PI-IIa showed the optical transmittances of 82.3% and 85.8% at the wavelength of 400 nm with a thickness around 25 μm, respectively. Introduction of rigid-rod amide moiety endowed the HPMDA-PI films good thermal stability at elevated temperatures with the CTE values of 33.4 × 10-6/K for PI-Ia and 27.7 × 10-6/K for PI-Ib in the temperature range of 50-250 °C. Comparatively, the HBPDA-PI films exhibited much higher CTE values. In addition, the HPMDA-PI films exhibited good thermal stability with the 5% weight loss temperatures (T5%) higher than 430 °C and glass transition temperatures (Tg) in the range of 349-351 °C.

Abstract
Enhancement of flame retardancy of a colorless and transparent semi-alicyclic polyimide (PI) film was carried out by the incorporation of phosphazene (PPZ) flame retardant (FR). For this purpose, PI-1 matrix was first synthesized from hydrogenated 3,3′,4,4′-biphenyltetracarboxylic dianhydride (HBPDA) and 4,4′-oxydianiline (ODA). The soluble PI-1 resin was dissolved in N,N-dimethylacetamide (DMAc) to afford the PI-1 solution, which was then physically blended with PPZ FR with the loading amounts in the range of 0–25 wt.%. The PPZ FR exhibited good miscibility with the PI-1 matrix when its proportion was lower than 10 wt.% in the composite films. PI-3 composite film with the PPZ loading of 10 wt.% showed an optical transmittance of 75% at the wavelength of 450 nm with a thickness of 50 μm. More importantly, PI-3 exhibited a flame retardancy class of UL 94 VTM-0 and reduced total heat release (THR), heat release rate (HRR), smoke production rate (SPR), and rate of smoke release (RSR) values during combustion compared with the original PI-1 film. In addition, PI-3 film had a limiting oxygen index (LOI) of 30.9%, which is much higher than that of PI-1 matrix (LOI: 20.1%). Finally, incorporation of PPZ FR decreased the thermal stability of the PI films. The 10% weight loss temperature (T10%) and the glass transition temperature (Tg) of the PI-3 film were 411.6 °C and 227.4 °C, respectively, which were lower than those of the PI-1 matrix (T10%: 487.3 °C; Tg: 260.6 °C)

Abstract
One of the most critical issues in electrochromic (EC) films based on transition metal oxides such as tungsten oxides (WOx) is their poor charge transfer property, which is closely related to EC performance. Herein, high-performance EC films with enhanced charge transport are prepared using small-molecule linkers and transparent/conductive nanoparticles (NPs). In this work, oleylamine (OAm)-stabilized WO2.72 nanorods (NRs) and OAm-stabilized indium tin oxide (ITO) NPs are layer-by-layer (LbL)-assembled with small-molecule linkers (tris(2-aminoethyl)amine, TREN) using a ligand-exchange reaction between bulky/insulating OAm ligands and TREN molecules. In this case, there is only one TREN layer between neighboring inorganic components (WO2.72 NRs and/or ITO NPs), resulting in a dramatic decrease in the separation distance. This minimized separation distance as well as the periodic insertion of transparent/conductive ITO NPs can significantly reduce the charge transfer resistance within WO2.72 NR-based EC films, which remarkably improves their EC performance. Compared to EC films without ITO NPs, the formed EC films with ITO NPs exhibit faster switching responses (4.1 times in coloration time and 3.5 times in bleaching time) and a maximum optical modulation of approximately 55.8%. These results suggest that electrochemical performance, including EC performance, can be significantly improved through structural/interfacial designing of nanocomposites.
