Nanoceramic VO2 thermochromic smart glass: A review on progress in solution processing

TL;DR: In this paper, the state-of-the-art solution processes used to prepare VO2 films, with a special emphasis on polymer-assisted deposition methods, are reviewed and compared with those prepared by gas-phase methods.
Journal ArticleDOI

Thermochromic VO2 for Energy-Efficient Smart Windows

TL;DR: A comprehensive overview of the application of VO2 to smart windows with particular emphasis on recent progress from the electronic, atomic, nano, and micron perspectives is provided in this article.
Journal ArticleDOI

Enhanced chemical stability of VO2 nanoparticles by the formation of SiO2/VO2 core/shell structures and the application to transparent and flexible VO2-based composite foils with excellent thermochromic properties for solar heat control

TL;DR: In this paper, an all-solution process that can be used to prepare transparent, stable and flexible VO2-based composite films is presented. But, the process is difficult to prepare in stable dispersive suspensions, and it may have applications for near infrared modulation of glass used in construction or cars.
Journal ArticleDOI

VO2 thermochromic smart window for energy savings and generation

TL;DR: A novel VO2-based smart window that partially utilises light scattering to solar cells around the glass panel for electricity generation and offers potential to intelligently regulate and utilise solar radiation in an efficient manner is reported.
Journal ArticleDOI

Thermochromic VO2 thin films: solution-based processing, improved optical properties, and lowered phase transformation temperature.

TL;DR: Thicker films in an optimized range can give enhanced NIR switching efficiencies and excellent NIR blocking abilities; in a particularly impressive experiment, one film provided near-zero NIR transmittance in the switched state, suggesting that VO(2) will be of great use in the objective-specific applications.
