Provided are proton-soluble electrochromic materials, ion pair electrochromic materials comprising proton-soluble electrochromic materials, as well as electrochromic materials and electrochromic devices comprising such materials. The use of proton solvent mixtures, especially mixtures comprising water, allows the use of more diverse substrate materials. For example, plastics that can be dissolved in organic aprotic solvent systems can be used in water based devices. |
