Abstract Electrochromism represents the reversible color change of materials in an electrochemical device by controlling their redox states according to the application of potential. These properties of electrochromic (EC) devices have attracted much attention in that they can be applied to smart windows, displays, electronic paper and mirrors. Particularly, as interest in smart windows has expanded, there has also been a growing interest in black electrochromic polymers (ECPs). As the critical optical band gap of the ECPs could be originated from the combination of monomer structures and degree of polymerization, 3,4-propylenedioxythiophene (PR) was modified with two other monomers that ultimately control the bandgap of the final ECPs. Synthesis, EC properties, and calculation for orbital energies of black colored EC polymers will be presented.
