Abstract

Detailed characteristics of the electrochromic performance of polypyrrole films under electrochemical doping and dedoping are studied. The response time for colour change in polypyrrole films depends on the dopant permeability. The change in film colour occurring in the redox reaction of the film is investigated in detail as a function of the dopant electrolyte solution and the thickness of the polypyrrole film. Three colour states for polypyrrole films are demonstrated: yellow green, dark brown, and blue.
