A photoelectrochemical-electrochromic device comprising a first transparent electrode and a second transparent electrode in parallel, spaced relation to each other. The first transparent electrode is electrically connected to the second transparent electrode. An electrochromic material is applied to the first transparent electrode and a nanoporous semiconductor film having a dye adsorbed therein is applied to the second transparent electrode. An electrolyte layer contacts the electrochromic material and the nanoporous semiconductor film. The electrolyte layer has a redox couple whereby upon application of light, the nanoporous semiconductor layer dye absorbs the light and the redox couple oxidizes producing an electric field across the device modulating the effective light transmittance through the device.

L'invention concerne un dispositif photoélectrochimique-électrochrome comprenant une première électrode transparente et une seconde électrode transparente en parallèle et espacée l'une de l'autre. La première électrode transparente est raccordée électriquement à la seconde électrode transparente. Un matériau électrochrome est appliqué à la première électrode transparente et un film à semi-conducteur nanoporeux ayant à l'intérieur un colorant adsorbé est appliqué à la seconde électrode transparente. Une couche électrolytique entre en contact avec le matériau électrochrome et le film à semi-conducteur nanoporeux. La couche électrolytique est pourvue d'un couple redox, de sorte que, dès application de la lumière, le colorant de la couche à semi-conducteur nanoporeux absorbe la lumière et le couple redox s'oxyde produisant un champ électrique traversant le dispositif qui module la transmittance lumineuse effective à travers ledit dispositif.
