Electroactive conducting copolymers of aniline(ANI) and diphenylamine(DPA) are prepared on indium tin oxide(ITO) surface from 1 mol/L H2SO4 aqueous solution with different feed ratios of ANI to DPA by using a potentiostatic method. FTIR spectra and SEM measurements are used to confirm the formation of copolymers. Due to the combination of the N,N′-diphenyl benzidine and aniline units in the molecular chain, the copolymer films exhibit improved electrochemical and electrochromic properties, compared to PANI and PDPA. The copolymer [marked as P(ANI9-co-DPA1)] film prepared at a ratio of 9:1(ANI/DPA) exhibits novel transmittance modulation both in visible and near-infrared(NIR) region between -0.8 V and 0.8 V(52% and 67% respectively) and fast response time(3.6 s for coloration and 2.3 s for bleaching at 600 nm). An electrochromic device(ECD) based on P(ANI9-co-DPA1) and PEDOT:PSS is also fabricated and shows a multicolor electrochromic performance, with a good optical contrast(29% in visible region and 40% in NIR region), acceptable response time(8.3 s for coloration and 7.5 s for bleaching at 600 nm) and long-term stability. Clear color changes from transparent(-0.8 V), bright green(0 V), seagreen(0.4 V) to dark slate gray(0.8 V) are demonstrated.
