▎ 摘  要

Novel electrochromic polynorbornenes poly(NBPYTPAM) and poly(HNBPYTPAM), containing electroactive chromophores, were prepared via ring-opening metathesis polymerization (ROMP) from a new norbornene derivative (NBPYTPAM) using Grubbs' catalyst and followed by hydrogen reduction. The glass transition temperatures (T-g) of poly(NBPYTPAM) and hydrogenated poly(HNBPYTPAM) were 190 and 175 degrees C, respectively. The cyclic voltammogram of the poly(HNBPYTPAM) film cast onto flexible graphene-coated polyethylene terephthalene (PET) substrates exhibited two reversible oxidation redox couples at 1.0 and 1.9 V. Flexible electrochromic devices were fabricated from the electroactive polymers and graphene-coated PET substrates. The electrochromic characteristics of poly(HNBPYTPAM) showed excellent stability and reversibility, with multistaged color changes from its yellow neutral form to green and then to dark-blue.
