Adaptive thermochromic windows from active plasmonic elastomers

Thermochromic windows can smartly modulate the indoor solar irradiation, leading to energy saving for architectural heating and cooling systems. Herein, we integrate the active plasmonic VO 2 nanoparticles in kirigami-inspired reconfigurable elastomers to achieve adaptive, broadband, and highly effi...

Description
Summary:Thermochromic windows can smartly modulate the indoor solar irradiation, leading to energy saving for architectural heating and cooling systems. Herein, we integrate the active plasmonic VO 2 nanoparticles in kirigami-inspired reconfigurable elastomers to achieve adaptive, broadband, and highly efficient solar modulation. The smart window promises a UV-visible-NIR traverse state in cold days and a UV-visible-NIR blocked state in hot days to reduce the architectural heating and cooling energy consumption.
