Vanadium dioxide (VO2) is a well-known thermochromic material with large IR modulating ability, promising for energy-saving smart windows. The main drawbacks of VO2 are its high phase transition temperature (τc = 68 °C), low luminous transmission (Tlum), and weak solar modulating ability (ΔTsol). In...
