title: A simple and low-cost combustion method to prepare monoclinic VO2with superior thermochromic properties.
abstract: In this approach, the VO2nanoparticles have been successfully fabricated via combusting the low-cost precursor solution consisted of NH4VO3, C2H6O2and C2H5OH. By the XRD, TEM and XPS analysis, it can be found that the synthetic monoclinic VO2is single crystal and no impurity is defined. After dispersing the VO2nanoparticles into the polymer, the solar modulation of VO2-based composite film is up to 12.5% with luminous transmission and haze around 62.2% and 0.5%, respectively. In other words, the composite films show high performance of thermochromic properties. This could open an efficient way to fabricate low-cost and large-scale VO2(M) nanoparticles and thermochromic films.
