Vanadium Dioxide Key to “Smart Windows”

Nanowerk reported that researchers have found an application for vanadium dioxide in energy efficient windows.

As quoted in the market news:

Gao’s team prepared their flexible VO₂-based composite foils by an all-solution process using VO₂nanoparticles for the first time. Such flexible VO₂ nanocomposite foils are able to combine the intrinsic properties of VO₂ nanoparticles with the added functionalities contributed by nanoscale and interface effects, such as increased visible transparency and infrared modulation ability.
