An electrochromic cell of the present invention may include a first
electrically conducting transparent electrode bonded to an
electrochemically formed first electrochromic electrode on the surface of
the electrode; a second electrically conducting transparent electrode
bonded to an electrochemically formed second electrochromic electrode on
the surface of the second electrode and a transparent gel polymer
electrolyte formed from one or more macromonomers mixed with a
plasticizer and an electrolyte salt, the gel polymer containing ionic
liquids in contact with both the first and second electrochromic
electrodes; the first and second electrochromic electrodes are separated
from each other.
