Optical switching and nanothermochromic studies of VO₂(M) nanoparticles prepared by mild thermolysis method

Vanadium dioxide (VO2) has been widely studied due to its promising thermochromic property. VO2 nanoparticles film exhibits a unique nanothermochromic advantage with higher light transmittance (Tlum) and larger solar light transmittance modulation (∆Tsol) than continuous film. In this paper, a mild...

By using vanadyl ethylene glycol (VEG) nanorods as a precursor, VO2 nanoparticles can be obtained at a thermolysis temperature as low as 250 °C within 5 min under static argon atmosphere.
