The corresponding polymers, poly[2,3- bis(4-decyloxyphenyl)-5,8-bis(3,4-dimethoxylthiophen-2-yl)quinoxaline] (P1) and poly[2,3-bis(4-decyloxyphenyl)-5,8- bis(2,3-dihydrothieno[3,4-b][1,4]dioxin-5-yl)quinoxaline] (P2), are directly deposited onto the working electrode surface by electropolymerization. All materials were characterized by nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), mass spectrometry (MS), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), cyclic voltammetry (CV), ultraviolet-visible absorption spectrometry (UV-Vis) and spectro-electrochemical measurements.

In addition, kinetics study of P1 revealed 42% (595 nm), 30% (839 nm) and 69% (1500 nm) transmittance changes (A7%), while P2 exhibited 32% (740 nm), 71% (2000 nm) at the dominant wavelengths. It was also observed that both films could switch quickly between the neutral state and oxidation state, with the response time less than 1 s both in visible and near infrared regions.展开更多
