Vanadium dioxide (VO), as a typical thermochromic material used in smart windows, is always limited by its weaker solar regulation efficiency (ΔT) and lower luminous transmittance (T). Except for common approaches such as doping, coating, and special structure, compositing is another effective method. The macroscopic thermochromic (from colorless to blue) ionic liquid-nickel-chlorine (IL-Ni-Cl) complexes are selected in this paper to be combined with VO nanoparticles forming a composite film. This novel scheme demonstrates outstanding optical properties: ΔT = 26.45% and T = 66.44%, T = 43.93%. Besides, the addition of the IL-Ni-Cl complexes endows the film with an obvious color change from light brown to dark green as temperature rises. This splendid visible thermochromic performance makes the composite film superior in function exhibiting and application of smart windows.
二氧化钒(VO)作为一种典型的用于智能窗户的热致变色材料,其太阳调节效率(ΔT)较弱和光透射率(T)较低一直受到限制。除了掺杂、涂层和特殊结构等常见方法外,复合化是另一种有效的方法。本文选择宏观热致变色(从无色变为蓝色)离子液体-镍-氯(IL-Ni-Cl)配合物与 VO 纳米粒子复合形成复合薄膜。这种新颖的方案展示了出色的光学性能:ΔT = 26.45%和 T = 66.44%,T = 43.93%。此外,IL-Ni-Cl 配合物的加入使薄膜在温度升高时呈现出明显的颜色变化,从浅棕色变为深绿色。这种出色的可见热致变色性能使复合薄膜在智能窗户的功能展示和应用方面具有优势。
