Abstract
This talk will introduce a novel solution method, polymer assisted deposition process, for the preparation of VO2 and VO2-based composite films. The method enables us to facially control over the film thickness, morphology and optical constants. By combining the optical design in the materials selection and/or their thickness and microstructural control, we obtained VO2 films with high visible transmittance (40-84%), controllable Mott phase transition temperatures and high switching efficiencies (max. 15.1%). The results show that the current solution process is a powerful competitor towards practical applications of this material. For further information, please read references.
