- W2899158207 abstract "Fenestration elements that enable spectrally selective dynamic modulation of the near-infrared region of the electromagnetic spectrum are of great interest as a means of decreasing the energy consumption of buildings by adjusting solar heat gain in response to external temperature. The binary vanadium oxide VO2 exhibits a near-room-temperature insulator–metal electronic transition accompanied by a dramatic modulation of the near-infrared transmittance. The low-temperature insulating phase is infrared transparent but blocks infrared transmission upon metallization. There is considerable interest in harnessing the thermochromic modulation afforded by VO2 in nanocomposite thin films. However, to prepare a viable thermochromic film, the visible-light transmittance must be maintained as high as possible while maximizing thermochromic modulation in the near-infrared region of the electromagnetic spectrum, which necessitates the development of high-crystalline-quality VO2 nanocrystals of the optimal particle size embedded within the appropriate host matrix and refractive index matched to the host medium. Here, we demonstrate the preparation of acrylate-based nanocomposite thin films with varying sizes of embedded VO2 nanoparticles. The observed strong size dependence of visible-light transmittance and near-infrared modulation is explicable on the basis of optical simulations. In this article, we elucidate multiple scattering and absorption mechanisms, including Mie scattering, temperature-/phase-variant refractive-index mismatch between VO2 nanocrystals and the encapsulating matrix, and the appearance of a surface plasmon resonance using temperature-variant absorptance and diffuse transmittance spectroscopy measurements performed as a function of particle loading for the different sizes of VO2 nanocrystals. Nanocrystals with dimensions of 44 ± 30 nm show up to >32% near-infrared energy modulation across the near-infrared region of the electromagnetic spectrum while maintaining high visible-light transmission. The results presented here, providing mechanistic elucidation of the size dependence of the different scattering mechanisms, underscore the importance of nanocrystallite dimensions, refractive-index matching, and individualized dispersion of particles within the host matrix for the preparation of viable thermochromic thin films mitigating Mie scattering and differential refractive-index scattering." @default.
