Estimating the term…
The present disclosure enables high contrast, fast, uniform, and color-neutral dynamic-glass elements based on uniform and reversible electrodeposition of metals a surface of the element. Elements in accordance with the present disclosure include a surface-modified transparent-conductor-based window electrode, wherein the surface modification of the window electrode includes a nucleation layer that is anchored to the transparent conductor via a non-metallic adhesion layer. In some embodiments, a plurality of traces is disposed on and electrically connected to the window electrode to reduce the voltage drop across the total area of the element, where the traces have a core made of a low-resistivity material.
A method for forming dynamic-glass element comprising a first electrode disposed on a first substrate, a second electrode disposed on a second substrate, and an electrolyte that is located between the first and second electrodes, wherein the first electrode comprises three layers comprising a transparent conductor layer, an adhesive layer and a nucleation layer, and is formed by operations of a method comprising:
