Introduction

The demand for smart, energy-efficient, and responsive materials has been on the rise due to the need for sustainable and renewable energy sources. Smart materials are those that can sense, respond, and adapt to external stimuli, such as temperature, light, or electric fields. They have a wide range of applications, including sensors, actuators, energy storage devices, and electrochromic displays. Among them, electrochromic materials are the most promising for energy-saving applications as they can change their optical and electrical properties upon the application of an external electric field. They have been extensively studied in recent years for their potential use in smart windows, displays, and energy storage devices.

Tungsten trioxide (WO3) is a well-known electrochromic material that exhibits reversible coloration upon the application of an external electric field due to its unique crystal structure. However, its electrochromic performance is limited by its slow response time and poor cycling stability. To overcome these limitations, various strategies have been employed, including the use of nanostructured materials, doping, and hybridization with other materials. Among them, the incorporation of WO3 into Prussian blue (PB) has been shown to enhance its electrochromic performance significantly.

PB is a coordination compound of iron(III) and hexacyanoferrate(II) that exhibits a reversible color change upon the application of an external electric field due to its unique redox behavior. PB has been widely used in electrochromic devices due to its fast response time, high coloration efficiency, and excellent cycling stability. However, its electrochromic performance is limited to the visible region of the electromagnetic spectrum.

To expand the electrochromic performance of PB, we have incorporated WO3 into PB using a simple and cost-effective chemical bath deposition method. The resulting WO3-PB composite exhibits a dual electrochromic behavior, i.e., coloration in both the visible and near-infrared regions of the electromagnetic spectrum. Moreover, we have also demonstrated that the WO3-PB composite can be used as an energy storage device due to its high specific capacitance and excellent cycling stability.

In this study, we present a detailed investigation of the electrochromic and energy storage properties of the WO3-PB composite and its potential use as a dual-functional material. The morphology, crystal structure, and optical properties of the composite were characterized using various techniques, including X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, and UV-vis spectroscopy. The electrochemical properties of the composite were evaluated using cyclic voltammetry, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, and galvanostatic charge-discharge measurements.

Our results demonstrate that the WO3-PB composite exhibits excellent electrochromic properties, including fast response time, high coloration efficiency, and good cycling stability. Moreover, the composite also exhibits high specific capacitance and excellent cycling stability as an energy storage device. These results suggest that the WO3-PB composite has great potential for use as a dual-functional material in various applications, including smart windows, displays, and energy storage devices.

In conclusion, the development of electrochromic and energy storage materials is crucial for the development of smart and sustainable technologies. The WO3-PB composite presented in this study offers a promising solution to this challenge by providing a dual-functional material with excellent electrochromic and energy storage properties. The results of this study could pave the way for the development of new and innovative technologies that can help address the global energy and environmental challenges we face today
