Flexible Reflective Electrochromic Devices Based on V2O5-Methyl Cellulose Composite Films

“…The process for preparing electrochromic materials in reflective devices is complicated, the reflectivity of the device is at approximately 10%, and when coated on a flexible substrate, it exhibits slow switching speeds and poor cycling stability. These disadvantages limit the practical application of intelligent and flexible products. , …”

“…These disadvantages limit the practical application of intelligent and flexible products. 20,21 The diverse performance of flexible electrochromic devices meets the broad needs of the next generation of smart product applications. 7,22 Achieving inorganic nonmetallic materials with improved electrochromic properties is challenging.…”

Dual-functional NIR/UV-shielding poly(lactic acid) nanocomposite films through CWO@PDA core–shell nanoparticles

“…[11][12][13][14] However, they also have some drawbacks which limit their application in the field of energy-saving materials. 15 For example, rare-earth hexaborides generally can only shield a small amount of the NIR light and they also require high temperatures and vacuum conditions for syntheses. 16 ITO and ATO can only cut off NIR light with wavelength longer than 1500 nm.…”

Influence of the rf power and oxygen content on structural, electrical, and optical properties of V2O5 thin films prepared via reactive radio frequency sputtering

“…Vanadium pentoxide thin films are intelligent materials that exhibit significant color changes through electro-, photo-, and thermochromic processes [1][2][3]. The chromism of V 2 O 5 films has attracted considerable research interest as promising materials for applications in optical devices [4] and smart chromic sensors [5]. V 2 O 5 has several crystal phases, such as α, β, and γ, and exhibits phase transitions between them [6,7].…”

“…The thermo-and photo-chromic devices based on V 2 O 5 thin films can be operated under environmental stimuli without an additional control system [4,5]. This is an advantage for application in non-contact temperature sensors.…”
