Extract

Polyaniline is an interesting electrochromic material because its color can be changed from clear to green, to blue, and to purple by electrochemical oxidation[1]. The structural transformations associated with these color changes are shown in Scheme I. One of the possible applications for polyaniline is to use it as the active material in electrochromic windows.
