Vanadium dioxide (VO2) stands out for its versatility in numerous applications, thanks to its unique reversible insulator-to-metal phase transition. This transition can be initiated by various stimuli, leading to significant alterations in the material’s characteristics, including its resistivity and optical properties. As the interest in the material is growing year by year, the purpose of this review is to explore the trends and current state of progress on some of the applications proposed for VO2 in the field of sensors and actuators using literature review methods. Some key applications identified are resistive sensors such as strain, temperature, light, gas concentration, and thermal fluid flow sensors for microfluidics and mechanical microactuators. Several critical challenges have been recognized in the field, including the expanded investigation of VO2-based applications across multiple domains, exploring various methods to enhance device performance such as modifying the phase transition temperature, advancing the fabrication techniques for VO2 structures, and developing innovative modelling approaches. Current research in the field shows a variety of different sensors, actuators, and material combinations, leading to different sensor and actuator performance input ranges and output sensitivities.

“…The temperature triggered semiconductor-to-metal transition (SMT) of VO 2 , associated with up to 2–4 orders of magnitude of reversible change in electrical conductivity, has been first observed by Morin in 1959 . Since then, both theoretical and experimental studies of this solid-state phase-change material and a variety of its activating methods (light, electrical, chemical, mechanical, and magnetic) have been intensively conducted to elucidate the transition mechanism and develop various applied VO 2 technologies, for example, smart windows, optical switches, modulators, nanoactuators, sensors, and smart radiators, as summarized in the following review papers. , For smart window applications, two parameters are important to quantify the effectiveness of such thermochromic materials: (1) solar energy modulation (SM) and (2) luminous transmittance ( T lum ). Solar energy modulation characterizes the change in radiation transmittance between hot and cold phases: higher SM results in the better modulation/usage of solar energy while T lum measures the amount of light passing through the film .…”

Problems associated with climate change require active implementation of energy-efficiency strategies minimizing carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) emissions and utilization of renewable energy sources. "Smart" window films utilizing thermochromic vanadium dioxide (VO 2 ) can adaptively make use of solar energy to significantly reduce the thermal load of the building by reflecting the infrared portion of the solar spectrum as a result of phase transition caused by heating of the monoclinic M-phase (M) of VO 2 . In this work, a scalable flow synthesis process has been utilized to screen a broad range of parameter space to target the synthesis of controlled sizes and morphologies of monoclinic VO 2 (M) nanoparticles as well as using a doping strategy and surface modifications to enable the tuning of metal to insulator transition temperature in a high-throughput fashion. We have also explored the strategies to increase solar modulation properties of VO 2nanoparticle-based polymer films by (i) changing the morphology of the nanoparticles from spherical into a nanorod structure, (ii) the surface modification of VO 2 nanoparticles by low refractive index ligands, and (iii) introduction of additional thermochromic materials to not only boost solar energy modulation but also enable more aesthetically appealing color of designed smart film. By strategically adjusting the VO 2 nanoparticle's thermochromic and optical properties, we have achieved 10.0% solar energy modulation for the as-synthesized VO 2 /polymer composite film and 19.9% solar energy modulation for NLETS [nickel(II) ligand exchange thermochromic system]/PFDA-VO 2 hybrid smart films. Moreover, using VO 2 nanoparticles with dominant nanorod morphology instead of nanospheres has resulted in more than double increase of thermochromic performance, ΔT at 2000 nm, and in the enhancement of solar energy modulation by 68% in combination ligands with low refractive index. This work provides insights into the design of advanced VO 2 /polymer composite smart window films.
