Optical properties of vanadium dioxide thin film in nanoparticle structure

Self-Assembled Multilayer Structure and Enhanced Thermochromic Performance of Spinodally Decomposed TiO2–VO2 Thin Film

“…The thermally driven SMT is regarded as one of the most dramatic phenomena observed in condensed matter science, since it is always accompanied by a tremendous contrast between the two phases in optical, electrical, and magnetic properties. − In particular, the M phase is almost transparent to infrared light while the R phase is highly reflective, maintaining visible light transmittance. For this reason, VO 2 -based materials, especially transparent VO 2 -based thin films, provide a promising application in energy-saving smart windows. − …”

Synthesis of polypyrrole nanoparticles for constructing full-polymer UV/NIR-shielding film

“…1,2 The most ideal optical materials and coatings should be smart glass which changes between translucent and transparent when voltage/light/heat is applied. The typical smart glass includes electrochromic (such as WO 3ÀX and NiO Xbased), 3,4 photochromic (such as WO 3 and MoO 3 -based), 5,6 thermochromic (such as VO 2 -based) 7 devices, which results in great contributions to the progress in selectively shielding solar light. However, smart glass is still immature for the large-scale practical applications in buildings and automobile.…”

Advances in Plasmonic Sensing at the NIR—A Review

“…The later material major drawback advents from its price, being among the most expensive metals, limiting practical applications. VO 2 , extensively studied due to its excellent metal–insulator transition properties, display a reversible phase transition at 68 °C [ 132 , 294 ], thus reflecting very well IR light at temperatures below 68 °C and transmitting well above that [ 295 , 296 ]. These thermal properties of Vanadium are explored in a new trend of smart materials.…”
