Abstract
Battery-Type Smart Windows In article number 1900425, Litao Kang and co-workers design a Zn2+ battery-type smart window with a Zn anode, Prussian blue cathode, and K+/Zn2+ dual-cation electrolyte. This design successfully combines electrochromic and energy storage functions into one device, and remarkably increases the device's output voltage and lifetime, while maintaining the excellent electrochromic performance.
