1. An electrochemical mirror comprising:
- a first transparent electrode;
a second transparent electrode disposed to be spaced apart from the first transparent electrode; and
an electrolyte layer disposed between the first transparent electrode and the second transparent electrode and comprising an electrolyte solution, the electrolyte solution comprising a sulfonate compound having a sulfonate functional group or a derivative compound having the sulfonate functional group, as an electrolyte solution additive.

18. An electrochemical mirror comprising:
-
a first transparent electrode disposed on a first substrate; a second transparent electrode which is disposed on a second substrate and faces the first transparent electrode; a first blocking wall and a second blocking wall which connect ends of the first transparent electrode and the second transparent electrode; and an electrolyte layer disposed in a cavity formed between the first transparent electrode, the second transparent electrode, the first blocking wall, and the second blocking wall, the electrolyte layer comprising an electrolyte solution including electrodepositable metal salt ions and a sulfonate compound, wherein, in response to a voltage being applied to the first transparent electrode and the second transparent electrode, the electrodepositable metal salt ions form an electrochemical mirror layer on a surface of the first transparent electrode and cause the electrochemical mirror to operate in an opaque state, in response to stopping application of the voltage to the first transparent electrode and the second transparent electrode, the electrodepositable metal salt ions become dissociated from the surface of the first transparent electrode and cause the electrochemical mirror to operate in a transparent state, and the sulfonate compound serves as a catalyst controlling a switching speed between the opaque state and the transparent state, of the electrochemical mirror. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20)
