A team of authors including S. O. Lebedev of the Saint Petersburg State Institute of Technology (Technical University) and AO Octoglass specialists has developed and tested an innovative approach to controlling electrochromic devices. The research results are published in issue 3 of the scientific and technical journal Analytica for 2025.
The article presents a new charge–discharge control method that eliminates the edge-effect problem and significantly improves the electro-optical performance of devices. Compared with conventional methods, the approach demonstrates:
- 47 times more uniform characteristic distribution versus the galvanostatic mode;
- 13.7 times more uniform distribution versus the pulsed method.
This breakthrough can substantially extend the service life of large-area electrochromic devices, which is especially important for smart glass, displays, and other innovative applications.
