UM team successfully develops aqueous electrochromic batteries with long life

A research team led by Ng Kar Wei and Wang Shuangpeng, two associate professors at the Institute of Applied Physics and Materials Engineering (IAPME) of the University of Macau (UM), has proposed a novel electrochromic battery based on a hybrid aqueous electrolyte, which can help to resolve the problem of the short lifespan of traditional electrochromic devices based on aqueous electrolytes and is expected to enable the commercialisation of low-cost, high-safety aqueous electrochromic batteries. The detailed investigation of the intrinsic mechanism for the superior performance is also expected to provide potential guidance for the design of other high-performance electrochemical devices. The research results have been published in ACS Nano, a leading international journal in the field.
