Abstract

Vanadium oxide with a nanobelt-membrane hybrid structure is synthesized under the structural directing effect from tannic acid, a green extract from plants. The electrochromic property of the resultant film was investigated and revealed a high contrast of 62% at the wavelength of 700 nm. Furthermore, with linear polyethylenimine (LPEI) surface treatment on ITO glass, the stability of the drop-casted film is greatly enhanced with only 18.6% reduction in transmission after 100 cycles.
