▎ 摘  要

Poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) (PEDOT)/graphene oxide (GO) hybrid nanostructures have been obtained by an in situ electro-polymerization process. Field emission scanning electron microscope observation indicates that the hybrid nanostructures consist of uniform and well-dispersed PEDOT nanoparticles integrated on the networked GO nanosheets. Surface chemistry and structure of the hybrid nanostructures have been characterized by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and Raman spectroscopy. Electrochemical and optical property measurements demonstrate that the hybrid nanostructures exhibit significantly improved electrochromic performance compared with the pristine PEDOT nanostructure. The contrast between coloring and bleaching state of the PEDOT nanostructure at 480 nm increases from 23.4% to 31.4% after hybridizing with GO nanosheets. The coloring time and bleaching time are shortened from 1800 ms to 300 ms and 1500 ms to 400 ms, respectively, while the coloring efficiency increases from 53.5 cm(2) C-1 to 64.9 cm(2) C-1 after the hybridization. The obtained PEDOT/GO hybrid nanostructures promise great potential in developing novel electrochromic materials for smart windows and other energy saving applications.
