VO2-ZnO composite films with enhanced thermochromic properties for smart windows

Acid Solution Processed VO2-Based Composite Films with Enhanced Thermochromic Properties for Smart Windows

“…In order to tackle the above issues, various methods have been employed such as establishing nano-composite film, multilayers and porous structures [ 6 , 7 , 8 , 9 , 10 , 11 , 12 , 13 , 14 , 15 , 16 , 17 ], doping [ 2 , 3 , 13 , 14 , 15 ] and optimization of preparation technology [ 10 , 11 , 18 , 19 , 20 , 21 , 22 , 23 , 24 , 25 , 26 ]. Kang et al [ 13 ] and Jiang et al [ 15 ] introduced Zn into VO 2 lattice, which can improve the T lum and Δ T sol of the film, and at the same time faded the yellow color of the film, however the unsatisfied optical properties were far from application requirement.…”

Influence of VO2 based structures and smart coatings on weather resistance for boosting the thermochromic properties of smart window applications

“…The structural modication based on the thin lm is the easiest and cheapest process for coating at a bulk level, which may affect the cost of the nal product. [93][94][95][96][97][98][99][100] The thin lm coating has also been investigated by combining different materials through various methods. For example, by a simple mixing method, a thin lm has been tried by J.…”

Multistep synthesis of VO2 (M) nanoparticles and their application to thermochromic hybrid films for IR modulation

“…46 Efforts have then been made to control the thermochromic performance, including solar modulation ability, luminous transmittance, and infrared modulation ability using various types of the VO 2 (M)/polymer composite films. 37,[47][48][49][50] Polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) is widely used as a passive host matrix to improve dispersibility and thermochromic properties of VO 2 nanoparticles (NPs). PVP can completely cover the surface of the NPs to protect them from the outside exposure.…”
