With the emerging demand of multifunctional optoelectronic devices, the integration of electrochromism and energy storage functionalities within a single platform has become a research frontier in the electrochromic community. However, the conventional electrochromic function is inherently contradictory to the energy storage function in electrochromic devices. In this review, we firstly introduced the working principles and device configurations of the rudimentary electrochromic energy storage devices (EESDs), where the origin of the contradiction between electrochromic and energy storage functionalities is comprehensively introduced. We then reviewed the current status and applications of EESDs, where we hope to clearly reveal the developing trends of the EESDs. Finally, we proposed our perspectives on the design strategy of zinc anode-based electrochromic devices for overcoming the contradiction between electrochromism and energy storage of EESDs.

随着多功能光电器件需求的不断增长，将电致变色和储能功能集成在单一平台内已成为电致变色界的研究前沿。然而，传统的电致变色功能与电致变色器件中的储能功能本质上是矛盾的。在这篇综述中，我们首先介绍了基本的电致变色储能器件（EESD）的工作原理和器件配置，全面介绍了电致变色和储能功能之间矛盾的根源。然后我们回顾了EESD的现状和应用，希望能够清晰地揭示EESD的发展趋势。最后，
