Abstract

The fabrication of an extremely fast electrochromic display based on well-defined nanotube arrays of poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) (PEDOT) was discussed. A mechanism for the electrochemical synthesis of nanotubes was also proposed. The tabular structure of PEDOT grown in a porous alumina film was investigated by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). It was found that the thin walls of nanotubes render the diffusion distance of counter-ions extremely short, which leads to ultrafast switching speeds and the long nanotube arrays provide strong coloration.
