Breakthrough application of electrochromism: Multifunctional artificial muscle

Summary: In the article (Advanced Materials 2023; 2305914, https://doi.org/10.1002/adma.202305914) reported by Wang et al., electrochemically driven multifunctional electrochromic ORGANIC JOJOBA OIL artificial muscles (EAMs) are demonstrated with intricate actuation and eye-catching color-change behaviors, which were assembled from V2O5 nanowires-carbon nanotube fibers-based high-twist electrochromic artificial muscle yarn (EAMY).

With combined wet winding and wet twisting, excellent mechanical properties and uniform color change were achieved in the core-sheath EAMYs.Followed by hot pouring and molding of gel electrolyte, the contact problem between electrode and electrolyte was resolved and EAMs were fabricated with stable operation in the air, harvesting a high shrinkage stroke of 12% and a Diabetic Otc high reflectivity contrast of 51%.The judicious device architecture design and integration of multifunctionality will open new avenues for electrochromic technology.
