要旨

We investigated the properties of 4,4′-biphenyl dicarboxylic acid diethyl ester (PCE). The PCE underwent a 2-step reduction at −1.5 V and −2.2 V. The color of the PCE changed from colorless to yellow in the first step and consequently to red in the second reduction step. A PCE based EC cell using an NiO-modified electrode was also fabricated. The NiO electrode worked as a counter reaction material for PCE reduction. The PCE–NiO cell achieved multi-coloration ranging from colorless to yellow and red, and also achieved high coloration efficiency and long term switching stability.

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) is an international journal co-owned by 19 physical chemistry and physics societies from around the world. This journal publishes original, cutting-edge research in physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry. To be suitable for publication in PCCP, articles must include significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry; this is the most important criterion that reviewers and Editors will judge against when evaluating submissions. The journal has a broad scope and welcomes contributions spanning experiment, theory, computation and data science. Topical coverage includes spectroscopy, dynamics, kinetics, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, catalysis, surface science, quantum mechanics, quantum computing and machine learning. Interdisciplinary research areas such as polymers and soft matter, materials, nanoscience, energy, surfaces/interfaces, and biophysical chemistry are welcomed if they demonstrate significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry. Joined experimental/theoretical studies are particularly appreciated when complementary and based on up-to-date approaches.
