“…Second, for the practical applications of smart coatings, both the visible light transmittance and the solar modulation capability of the VO 2 thin films need to be improved. Growth of high-quality VO 2 thin films on buffer layers with structural similarity, including ZnO, SnO 2 , TiO 2 [176,177], Al 2 O 3 [178], and ZnO:Al (AZO) [179,180], has been attempted and the films exhibit improved thermochromic properties. In addition, artificial nanostructures, such as multilayers, porous structures and composites, have also been constructed to compensate the shortcomings of VO 2 thin films alone and to add anti-reflection, anti-fogging, and other functions [181][182][183].…”

As a strongly correlated electron material, vanadium dioxide (VO 2) has been a focus of research since its discovery in 1959, owing to its well-known metal-insulator transition coupled with a structural phase transition. Recent years have witnessed both exciting discoveries in our understanding of the physics of VO 2 and developments in new applications of related materials. In this article, we review some of these recent progresses on the phase transition mechanism and dynamics, phase diagrams and imperfection effects, as well as growth and diverse applications of VO 2. Our review not only offers a summary of the properties and applications of VO 2 , but also provides insights into future research of this material through highlighting some of the challenges and opportunities.

Vanadium dioxide (VO2) is a typical metal-insulator transition (MIT) material, which changes from room-temperature monoclinic insulating phase to high-temperature rutile metallic phase. The phase transition of VO2 is accompanied by sudden changes in conductance and optical transmittance. Due to the excellent phase transition characteristics of VO2, it has been widely studied in the applications of electric and optical devices, smart windows, sensors, actuators, etc. In this review, we provide a summary about several phases of VO2 and their corresponding structural features, the typical fabrication methods of VO2 nanostructures (e.g., thin film and low-dimensional structures (LDSs)) and the properties and related applications of VO2. In addition, the challenges and opportunities for VO2 in future studies and applications are also discussed.

“…13 In recent years, wide-band-gap zinc oxide has been investigated as new energy efficient coating because it is cheap, biocompatible, chemically stable and easy to fabricate. [14][15][16] The intrinsic ZnO, however, has a low electron concentration of 10 18 to 10 19 cm À3 (ref. 17) and doping becomes an indispensable approach to meet the low-E optical requirements.…”
