Abstract

We successfully synthesized a novel viologen derivative (1,1′-bis(3-fluoro-4-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)-4,4′-bipyridinium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide, TFMFPhV(TFSI)₂) exhibiting a green-colored state. We selected cyanophenyl viologen (CNPhV²⁺), a conventional electrochromic (EC) chromophore with a green color indication, to compare EC performance. Ion gels consisting of poly(vinylidene fluoride-co-hexafluoropropylene) (PVDF-co-HFP) and 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide ([EMI][TFSI]) were employed as a solid-state electrolyte for EC devices (ECDs). In comparison to CNPhV²⁺-containing devices, the ECDs with TFMFPhV²⁺ showed higher transmittance contrast, larger coloration efficiency, faster coloration and bleaching responses, and better coloration/bleaching operational stability. Cyclic voltammetry revealed that the more stable redox behavior of TFMFPhV²⁺ is the origin of the outstanding ECD performance.
