Accelerate your product development with IFW Dresden’s unique combination of spectroscopy and electrochemistry – delivering deep insights into the molecular drivers of color change in electrochromic devices.
Service Description We characterize materials for electrochromic devices with unmatched precision. Using our long-standing expertise and advanced spectroelectrochemical techniques, we identify the charged species that determine color, track their concentration profiles under varying potentials, and monitor structural and stability changes in situ. Our methods apply to purely organic compounds, organometallic complexes, and electroactive polymers, providing a decisive edge in material optimization.
