摘要

V2O5 has attracted extensive research interest in the field due to its unique capability of both anodic and cathodic electrochromism. In this study, ZnO/V2O5 nanocomposite films were fabricated by incorporating ZnO nanorod arrays into V2O5 films via a combination of electrochemical deposition and spin‑coating. The electrochemical and optical properties of the composite films were characterized by cyclic voltammetry, chronoamperometry, UV‑Vis spectroscopy, and colorimetric analysis. The results show that the ZnO/V2O5 composite films exhibits fast electrochromic switching (tc/tb = 2 s/2.6 s) and can reversibly switch among blue‑gray, olive‑green, yellow‑green, and yellow colors. It also achieves a high transmittance modulation of 31.33% at 550 nm, a wavelength to which the human eye is highly sensitive. This work proposes a new strategy for the preparation of ZnO/V2O5 composite films, and this strategy offers new insights into obtaining fast-response electrochromic films.
