sähkökromiset
Sähkökromiset is a Finnish term that translates to "electrochromic" in English. It refers to materials that change their optical properties, most commonly their color or transparency, when an electric voltage is applied. This phenomenon is based on the reversible electrochemical oxidation or reduction of a material. When a voltage is applied, ions move into or out of the electrochromic material, causing a change in its electronic structure and thus its light absorption or reflection characteristics.
Electrochromic technology finds applications in various fields. One prominent example is in smart windows, also known
Another area where electrochromic materials are used is in automotive mirrors, particularly rearview mirrors, which automatically
