Thickness-modulated thermochromism of vanadium dioxide thin films grown by magnetron sputtering
摘要： Vanadium dioxide (VO2) films were prepared on soda-lime glass by direct current magnetron sputtering at 320 °C. Effects of film thickness on the microstructure, surface morphology and thermochromic performance of VO2 films were investigated. X-ray diffraction showed that the deposited films have strong preferred orientation of VO2 (011) lattice when the film thickness higher than 102 nm. The calculated grain sizes of VO2 films increased from 16.05 nm to 34.56 nm continuously with the increasing of film thickness. UV/VIS/NIR spectrophotometer showed that the visible transmittance deceased while the infrared transmittance switching efficiency increased as the film thickness increased from 79 nm to 264 nm. Additionally, the optical band gaps of VO2 films were in a range of 1.15 eV–1.40 eV, and the thicker film exhibited the smaller value. Moreover, the results of measured temperature-dependent electrical resistivity of these VO2 films showed that the phase-transition temperature is in a range of 53–60 °C, which is much lower than that of single-crystal VO2 (68 °C). With the film thickness increasing, the metal–semiconductor phase transition becomes more obvious. Overall, films with thickness in the range of 80–100 nm showed comparatively relatively balanced combination of visible transmittance and solar switching efficiency.

Tungsten doped M-phase VO2 mesoporous nanocrystals with enhanced comprehensive thermochromic properties for smart windows
摘要： The phase transition temperature (~ 68 oC) of M-VO2 film can be lowered significantly by tungsten (W) doping into the crystal lattice of VO2 due to the reduction of the strength of V-V pair interaction. However, W doping was always coupled with a serious weakening of luminous transmittance and solar modulation efficiency because W dopants can increase the electron concentration of VO2 film. Herein, the simultaneous introduction of W dopants and mesopores into M-VO2 nanocrystals was employed to prepare VO2 film. Interestingly, the obtained 0.4 at% W-doped mesoporous VO2 nanocrystals based composite films exhibited enhanced comprehensive thermochromic performance with excellent solar modulation efficiency (ΔTsol = 11.4%), suitable luminous transmittance (Tlum = 61.6%) and low phase transition temperature around 43 oC, much lower than 65.3 oC of undoped VO2. It was demonstrated that the lower phase transition temperature of VO2 can be primarily attributed to abundant lattice distortion after W doping, whereas the mesoporous structure can facilitate the uniform distribution of W dopants in VO2 nanocrystals, enhance the luminous transmittance and guarantee enough VO2 nanocrystals in the composite film to keep relatively high solar modulation efficiency. Therefore, this work can provide a new way to balance the three important parameters for the thermochromic performance of VO2 film (ΔTsol, Tlum and Tc) and probably promote the application of VO2 nanocrystals in the energy efficient windows.
