Thermochromic VO2 was modulated by TiO2 with a TiO2(240 nm)/VO2(70 nm)/TiO2(10 nm)/Glass structure based on skin comfort design for the first time.
An optimized SiO2 (~100 nm)/Al:ZnO (300 nm)/Glass low-emission structure was computational simulated and deposited.
Smart window combining these two structure possesses the improved performance of 6.9% in solar modulating ability, >40% in integrated visible transmittance and >80% reflectivity in mid-infrared region.
