Abstract:
Thermo-responsive material responds to solar spectrum differently at the stimulus of heat which makes it attractive in various applications including the energy saving smart windows application. The most studied inorganic thermochromic vanadium dioxide (VO2) has the intrinsic problems of low luminous transmission (Tlum) and low solar modulation (ΔTsol the transmission difference between high and low temperatures). Numerous efforts such as employing dopings, nanoparticle-based composites, and nanoporous structuring have been widely studied. Our group have developed five new approaches to tackle this veritable challenge, namely, biomimetic nanostructuring including photonic structure and moth eye gridded structures tunable plasmonic structures organic and hybrid structures. In addition, an active control has also been applied to thermochromic material to generate a new electro-thermochromics materials. Some other new emerging thermal responsive materials will be discussed in this talk.
