This electroactive HPA was further end-capped with two different end-cappers to prepare HPA-B and HPA-TPA with intrinsic microporous structures, which exhibited improved counter-ion diffusivity in electrochemical processes. With the aid of the intrinsic microporous structure, HPA-TPA revealed outstanding characteristics such as three-stage color changes, the highest coloration efficiency (CE), and the shortest switching response times among the prepared redox-active polyamides. Electrochromic devices employing ECD-HPA-TPA in this study demonstrated remarkable performance, evidenced by their rapid coloration rate of 27.4% s−1 and impressive switching stability. While evaluating and comparing the capacitive behavior of the HPA-TPA film, it showed 73.2 F g−1 at 1.0 A g−1 with nearly 60% transmittance contrast with only 220 nm thickness, and stability with 90.2% retention in a 300-cycle charge-discharge process. Furthermore, we compared its stability with polyamides derived from triphenylamine-based diamines to elucidate the effect on the reversibility during the charge-discharge process.false[SDGs]SDG7journal article10.1039/d4ta03178d2-s2.0-85198932825
