“…This is because the better dispersion of the core−shell crystals than the bare Mg‐doped crystals in the matrix, and the aggregation of VO 2 crystals may lower the thermochromic performance by reducing the transmittance contrast at dense solar energy region of ≈1000 to 1500 nm. [ 47 ]…”

The VO2‐based smart windows can dynamically and reversibly adjust the indoor solar irradiation to reduce the energy consumption for building glasses. This paper reports the first successful preparation of Mg‐doped VO2@ZrO2 core−shell nanocrystals with promoted thermochromic performance as well as tunable appearance and wettability. The achieved combination of Tlum of 52.4% and ∆Tsol of 7.1% is comparable to the best‐reported results of VO2‐based core−shell rod structures. The thickness of ZrO2 shell is tunable between 3 and 14 nm, resulting in a slightly hydrophobic surface and a slight color change toward blue‐green and brighter produced films. The preparation method based on hydrothermal and UV‐curing methods is facile. This work may inspire future development of VO2 synthesis, their structure−property, and the application the thermochromic films for energy‐saving purposes in buildings or automobiles.

“…The 50 mg of as-prepared VO2 NPs were evenly dispersed into 5 mL ethanol and 5 mL concentrated Si-Al solution by one-hour ultrasonication bath. The synthesis of the Si-Al solution has been reported in our previous work [8]. The VO2 films were further prepared by spin coating on the soda-lime glass substrate with the same speed and coating times.…”

“…The MIT happens within 1 ps [3], accompanied by an abrupt electrical resistance change of approximately five orders of magnitude [4]. As well as changes of structure and electrical properties, the abrupt optical modulation in the wavelength of infrared [5], terahertz [6], and microwave [7] during MIT gives VO2 great potential for applications such as thermochromic smart windows [8], 3D-printed smart window [9], optical switching devices [10], light modulator [11], and infrared stealth [12].…”

Pure monoclinic vanadium dioxide nanoparticles (VO2 NPs) with a controlled uniform size are considered essential for the preparation of thermochromic smart window coatings on desired substrates. Herein, we report a facile one-step hydrothermal synthesis of VO2(M) NPs without post-treatment of annealing, which may induce unwanted aggregation of NPs. In contrast with the annealed sample, the one-step processed VO2(M) NPs exhibit superior thermochromic performance with the solar modulation efficiency of 11.8% and luminous transmittance of 37.3%.

“…Thermochromic materials are compounds or mixtures that change their visible absorption spectra when heated or cooled. In particular, reversible thermochromic materials have the function of color memory [118]. It has the characteristics of discoloration at a specific temperature, showing a new color, and restoring to the original color when the temperature is restored to the initial temperature [119,120].…”

The research and applications of fiber materials are directly related to the daily life of social populace and the development of relevant revolutionary manufacturing industry. However, the conventional fibers and fiber products can no longer meet the requirements of automation and intellectualization in modern society, as well as people's consumption needs in pursuit of smart, avant-grade, fashion and distinctiveness. The advanced fiber-shaped electronics with most desired designability and integration features have been explored and developed intensively during the last few years. The advanced fiber-based products such as wearable electronics and smart clothing can be employed as the second skin to enhance information exchange between humans and the external environment. In this review, the significant progress on flexible fiber-shaped multifunctional devices, including fiber-based energy harvesting devices, energy storage devices, chromatic devices, and actuators are discussed. Particularly, the fabrication procedures and application characteristics of multifunctional fiber devices such as fiber-shaped solar cells, lithium-ion batteries, actuators and electrochromic fibers are introduced in detail. Finally, we provide our perspectives on the challenges and future development of functional fiber-shaped devices.
