Electrochromic materials and devices for energy efficiency and human comfort in buildings: A critical review

TL;DR: Electrochromic (EC) materials can be integrated in thin-film devices and used for modulating optical transmittance as discussed by the authors, and have been used in large-area glazing (windows and glass facades) in order to create buildings which combine energy efficiency with good indoor comfort.
Journal ArticleDOI

Emerging thermal-responsive materials and integrated techniques targeting the energy-efficient smart window application

TL;DR: In this article, a review of emerging thermoresponsive materials for smart window applications, including hydrogels, ionic liquids, perovskites, metamaterials, and liquid crystals, is presented.

Hydrothermal Synthesis of VO2 Polymorphs: Advantages, Challenges and Prospects for the Application of Energy Efficient Smart Windows

TL;DR: The first approach-nano-thermochromism-which is to integrate VO2 nanoparticles in a transparent matrix, outperforms the rest; while the thermochromic performance is determined by particle size, stoichiometry, and crystallinity.

Advances in Chromogenic Materials and Devices

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors summarize recent work on thermochromic VO 2 -based thin films with particular attention to multi-layer of VO 2 and TiO 2 and new VO 2 :Mg films for which the doping gives significantly lowered absorption of visible light.

Transparent conductors as solar energy materials: A panoramic review

TL;DR: Transparent conductors (TCs) have a multitude of applications for solar energy utilization and for energy savings, especially in buildings as discussed by the authors, which leads naturally to considerations of spectral selectivity, angular selectivity, and temporal variability of TCs, as covered in three subsequent sections.
