Abstract

Conjugated polymers 1 belong to an important class of polymers due to their widespread use in industrial applications like sensors, electrochromic materials, light emitting diodes (LEDs), actuators, and batteries etc. Electrochromics (ECs) are materials where the color exhibited is a function of applied potential. 2–4 Both inorganic and organic materials have been used as EC materials but there is still a lot of scope for further improvement in terms of switching ...
