Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for the non-electrolytic deposition of a compound, preferably an electrochromic compound, comprising the following successive steps: (a) an electroconductive layer is deposited on a non-conductive solid substrate; (b) a reducing agent or an oxidizing agent(= redox agent) is deposited on an area of said electroconductive layer, said area covering only a portion of the surface of said electroconductive layer; and (c) a solution of a precursor of the compound to be deposited is brought into contact both with the redox agent and with at least a portion of the area of said electroconductive layer not covered by the redox agent, said precursor being chosen from those having an oxidation-reduction potential higher or lower than the redox agent and forming, after an oxidation-reduction reaction, a compound insoluble in the solution of the precursor of the compound to be deposited.

Abstract:
Un système électrochrome transparent (100) comprend une structure cellulaire (13), deux électrodes d'alimentation (1, 2) qui sont portées ensemble par une même paroi (10), et au moins une électrode supplémentaire (3). Ladite électrode supplémentaire peut être utilisée comme électrode de référence ou électrode de polarisation. Elle peut aussi former un condensateur avec une quatrième électrode qui est ajoutée au système, pour contrôler une migration de certaines substances électroactives responsables de la coloration et de la décoloration du système. Le fonctionnement du système peut ainsi être amélioré.

Abstract:
The invention relates to transparent electrochromic systems (100) which each include one pair of supply electrodes (1, 2) and at least one pair of polarisation electrodes (3, 4). The polarisation electrodes prevent a reaction of mutual neutralisation of the electroactive substances of the systems from causing unnecessary consumption of electric current. Said electrodes also prevent a neutralisation reaction from limiting a lower value of light transmission of the systems. For this purpose, the polarisation electrodes produce an electric field (E) inside the systems, which attracts the electroactive substances that have already reacted with the supply electrodes to different areas.

Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method for manufacturing mesostructured coatings comprising electrically conductive structures formed of metal nanoparticles. Said method includes the steps that involve: a) depositing, on a substrate, a first layer consisting of a silica material, mesostructured by a structuring agent, and a photocatalytic material; b) depositing, on the first layer, a second layer of a mesostructured silica material, said second layer being free of photocatalytic material; c) consolidating the first and second layers at a temperature between 50º C and 250º C; and d) placing the consolidated coating in contact with a solution that contains metal ions and irradiating said coating with a radiation that enables the photocatalytic material to be activated. Said method is characterized in that it includes no heat treatment at a temperature greater than 250º C.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a transparent electrochromic system (100), including a cellular structure (13), two power supply electrodes (1, 2) together supported on a single wall (10), and at least one additional electrode (3). Said additional electrode can be used as a reference electrode or as a polarization electrode. Said additional electrode can also form a condenser with a fourth electrode that is added to the system, in order to control a migration of certain electroactive substances responsible for coloring and decoloring the system. The operation of the system can thus be improved.
