Inkjet printing of vanadium dioxide nanoparticles for smart windows

A forefront and efficient inkjet printing technology is developed for vanadium dioxide (VO2). The inkjet-printed VO2 films exhibit a solar modulating ability of 15.31% with comparable visible transmittance. Their excellent performance has been further confirmed using a smart window model. Patterned VO2 films were also prepared via inkjet printing technology.
