Abstract
A full-color reversible switching device controlled by electrochemistry, and its preparation method and use are provided. The device controlled by electrochemistry includes a color-changing layer, an electrolyte and a counter electrode. The color-changing layer includes a substrate, a conductive layer and an active material layer. The active material layer and the conductive layer form a physical interference color. The electrolyte is connected to the conductive layer or the active material layer. When an electrochemical reaction occurs between the electrolyte and a surface of the conductive layer or the active material layer, the thickness of the active material layer changes. The device controlled by electrochemistry has rich tunable colors that can cover the entire color gamut, and can achieve reversible switching of colors at a small voltage.
