Enhanced Luminous Transmission and Solar Modulation in Thermochromic VO₂ Aerogel-like Films via Remote Plasma Deposition.

ABSTRACT: Vanadium dioxide (VO₂) is a thermochromic material that undergoes a phase transition from a monoclinic semiconducting state to a rutile metallic state at 68 °C, a temperature close to room temperature. This property makes VO₂ particularly valuable in applications such as optical and electrical switches, data storage, neuromorphic computing, and remarkably dynamic smart windows for solar radiation control. VO₂ typically needs to be synthesized for these applications as nanostructured thin films. Over the past few decades, significant efforts have been made to control the thermochromic properties of VO₂ through crystal structure tuning, doping, and the development of VO₂ nanocomposites. Additionally, introducing nano- and mesoporosity ha
