Abstract
Poly(3-methyl-3,4-dihydro-2H-thieno[3,4-b][1,4]dioxepine) (PProDOT-s-Me) was synthesized through electrochemical polymerization. The surprising feature of the electrodeposited PProDOT-s-Me film is that it can tune absorption in visible region (380-780 nm) and near-infrared (780-1100 nm) independently under different applied potentials: Vis absorbable / NIR transmissive (-1.5 V), Vis absorbable / NIR absorbable (0.1 V) and Vis transmissive / NIR absorbable (1.4 V). It is in-teresting because PProDOT-s-Me could be potential candidate in smart windows for thermal and light control in buildings in three modes: weak light / warm (-1.5 V), weak light / cool (0.1 V) and strong light / cool (1.4 V).
