Abstract
Abstract In electrochromic devices having a layer of electrochromic material, e.g. tungsten oxide, in contact with a polymeric electrolyte layer, the stability and speed of the device are improved by using a copolymer of 2-acrylamido-2-methylpropanesulfonic acid and vinyl sulfonic acid as the polymeric electrolyte.
