A team of researchers, including Lebedeva S. O. from Saint Petersburg State Institute of Technology (Technical University), as well as a number of Octoglass JSC employees, has developed an innovative approach to controlling electrochromic devices. The study was published in Issue #3 (2025) of the scientific and technical journal "Analytics".

The article introduces a novel charge-discharge control method, which eliminates the edge effect problem and significantly improves the electro-optical performance of devices. Compared to conventional methods, the proposed approach demonstrates:
- 47 times more uniform performance distribution compared to galvanostatic control,
- 13.7 times better than the pulse-width modulation method.

This breakthrough could substantially extend the lifespan of large-area electrochromic devices, which is crucial for their applications in smart windows, displays, and other innovative solutions.
