Electrochromic devices have demonstrated considerable potential in a range of applications, including smart windows and automotive rearview mirrors. However, traditional cycle life testing methods are time-consuming and require significant resources to process a substantial amount of generated data, which presents a significant challenge and remains an urgent issue to be addressed. To address this challenge, we proposed the use of Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) networks to construct a prediction model of the cycle life of electrochromic devices and introduced an interpretable analysis method to further analyze the model's predictive capabilities.

Electrochromic devices, capable of modulating light transmittance under the influence of an electric field, have garnered significant interest in the field of smart windows and car rearview mirrors. However, the development of high-performance electrochromic devices via large-scale explorations under miscellaneous experimental settings remains challenging and is still an urgent problem to be solved. In this study, we employed a two-step machine learning approach, combining machine learning algorithms such as KNN and XGBoost with the reality of electrochromic devices, to construct a comprehensive evaluation system for electrochromic materials.

In this report, an ammonium metatungstate (AMT) and ferrous chloride [Fe(II)Cl] electrochromic liquid (ECL) was synthesized using a hydrothermal method, with DO used as the solvent instead of HO. The results show that the use of DO can improve the stability and performance of ECLs. The hydrogen evolution process in electrochromic devices (ECDs) filled with ECL becomes more difficult, while the material exchange process becomes easier.

Even though electrochromism has been around for more than 50 years, it still has several issues. Multi-layered films, high manufacturing costs, and a short lifetime are present in existing electrochromic devices. We demonstrate a unique high-performance device with a basic structure and no solid electrochromic sheets in this work.
