- Abstract
Designed growth of zinc oxide (ZnO)/poly(3,4‐ethylenedioxythiophene) (PEDOT) core/shell hybrid nanotube arrays has been achieved by electropolymerization technique. The ZnO/PEDOT hybrid nanotubes electropolymerized for 2000‐second display enhanced electrochromic properties of the contrast ratio up to 31.3%, a lot higher than those of the pure PEDOT and ZnO/PEDOT hybrid nanorods. Moreover, the coloring efficiency of the hybrid nanotubes increases from 105.2 cm2 C−1 of ZnO/PEDOT hybrid nantotube with the electrodeposition time of 1000 seconds to 122.2 cm2 C−1 of 2000 seconds at 520 nm. Therefore, the hybrid composite nanotubes fabricated by the in situ electrodeposition techniques may demonstrate huge potential applications in energy‐saving technologies such as smart windows.
