Abstract

In this study we realize functioning electrochromic devices based on colloidal niobium oxide nanocrystals which show dual-band electrochromic behavior, with spectral selectivity between near-infrared and visible wavelengths. Minimally coloring vanadium oxide counter electrodes allow for full electrochromic devices that embody the dual-band electrochromic behavior of the niobium oxide component. The devices are fabricated using solution processing on both glass and flexible substrates, demonstrating that our platform has potential for the development of low-cost dual-band electrochromic devices for dynamic solar control in a variety of form factors and applications.
