<span>Tungsten(VI) oxide can be easily synthesized starting from a standard light bulb. The reaction consists in the oxidation at high temperatures (T ≈ 2000 – 3000° C) of a tungsten filament in presence of air; conditions which can be easily achieved by connecting a broken light bulb (but with its intact filament) to an AC-power supply of 110 volts. The vapor of WO3 is condensed into a beaker in a quantity enough to be characterized by infrared spectroscopy. The experiment is very funny, inexpensive and allows to the teacher to link several topics in current chemistry and physics of the tungsten oxides, such as their nomenclature and technological applications (i.e. electrochromic devices, gasochromic sensors, superalloys or as it is used in home: As a “simple” emisor of light!).</span>

Variable transmission applications for light control or energy saving based on electrochromic materials have been successfully applied in the past in the building, sports, or automotive fields, although lower costs and ease of fabrication, installation, and maintenance are still needed for deeper market integration. In this study, all-printed large area (900 cm2 active area) flexible electrochromic devices were fabricated, and an autoregulating self-power supply was implemented through the use of organic solar cells. A new perspective was applied for automotive light transmission function, where portability and mechanical flexibility added new features for successful market implementation. Special emphasis was placed in applying solution-based scalable deposition techniques and commercially available materials (PEDOT-PSS as an electrochromic material; vanadium oxide, V2O5, as a transparent ion-storage counter electrode; and organic solar modules as the power supply). A straightforward electronic control method was designed and successfully implemented allowing for easy user control. We describe a step-by-step route following the design, materials optimization, electronic control simulation, in-solution fabrication, and scaling-up of fully functional self-powered portable electrochromic devices.
