The new doctor by the Polytechnic University of Cartagena (UPCT), Sofiane Hassab, proposes in the thesis that just defend a new configuration, for a more efficient energy consumption, for the electrochromic devices that allow to design applications that change color, like windows , glasses or mirrors, capable of modulating their optical properties.
The configuration, called 'decompensated', developed by the Algerian researcher under the guidance of UPCT professor Javier Padilla, allows to reduce the energy expenditure of this technology, making it more competitive.
"The electrochromic devices are made up of materials that are able to continuously and reversibly modulate their color, usually from a colorless and transparent state to a colored one, with the application of a small electrical current," explains Padilla.
This technology allows the design of applications ranging from intelligent windows, capable of modulating the transmission of sunlight, and in this way control the lighting and even the heat that enters a passenger compartment, to glasses or mirrors able to avoid flashes produced by others cars or sunlight.
Also, "with the possibility of using materials with different coloration, other possible applications are framed within the generation of image or information, such as electronic ink screens," adds the author of the thesis.
The thesis of Sofiane Hassab, of Algerian nationality, has demonstrated its feasibility of this new configuration building real devices and proposes a theoretical model capable of predicting the optical response of the devices.
