چکیده
Abstract VO2 films are widely considered as one of the most suitable material to act smart windows. Although this system is able function, durability film has been an issue surface may oxidize by converting V4+ V5+. To overcome problem, attempt made coat with ZnO, which can assist creating a resistance layer prevent further oxidation VO2. Here, VO2/ZnO bilayer was prepared facile method comprised spin-coating and dip-coating process shows excellent durability, in particular. solar modulation efficiency (?Tsol) maintaining ca 89.9% (from 17.8% 16.0%) after 300 days humid environment, however, ?Tsol pure decreased from 11.8% 4.1%. Also, exhibits enhanced thermochromic property visible transmittance (Tlum = 55.7 ± 2.1%) (17.1 ± 1.4%) 1.49 times higher than that (?Tsol = 11.5 ± 0.4%). The enhancement performance probably attributed anti-reflection protection ZnO layer. Therefore, work provide effective way optimize for practical application VO2-based

Periodic porous thermochromic VO2(M) films with enhanced visible transmittance.
A periodic porous structure is introduced for the first time into a VO2(M) film to block only heat rather than light. The as-obtained 2D and 3D films show excellent visible transmittance and solar modulation efficiency.
متن کاملSynthesis and characterization of VO2-based thermochromic thin films for energy-efficient windows
Thermochromic VO2 thin films have successfully been grown on SiO2-coated float glass by reactive DC and pulsed-DC magnetron sputtering. The influence of substitutional doping of V by higher valence cations, such as W, Mo, and Nb, and respective contents on the crystal structure of VO2 is evaluated. Moreover, the effectiveness of each dopant element on the reduction of the intrinsic transition t...
متن کاملHow to be smart and energy efficient: A general discussion on thermochromic windows
A window is a unique element in a building because of its simultaneous properties of being "opaque" to inclement weather yet transparent to the observer. However, these unique features make the window an element that can reduce the energy efficiency of buildings. A thermochromic window is a type of smart window whose solar radiation properties vary with temperature. It is thought that the solar...
متن کاملVO2 thermochromic smart window for energy savings and generation
The ability to achieve energy saving in architectures and optimal solar energy utilisation affects the sustainable development of the human race. Traditional smart windows and solar cells cannot be combined into one device for energy saving and electricity generation. A VO2 film can respond to the environmental temperature to intelligently regulate infrared transmittance while maintaining visib...
متن کاملEnhanced Visible Transmittance of Thermochromic VO2 Thin Films by SiO2 Passivation Layer and Their Optical Characterization
This paper presents the preparation of high-quality vanadium dioxide (VO₂) thermochromic thin films with enhanced visible transmittance (Tvis) via radio frequency (RF) sputtering and plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD). VO₂ thin films with high Tvis and excellent optical switching efficiency (Eos) were successfully prepared by employing SiO₂ as a passivation layer. After SiO₂ depo...
