Monoclinic vanadium dioxide (VO2 (M)) particles co-doped with niobium and tungsten, with potential application in smart windows, were synthesized by hydrolysis and subsequent thermal decomposition of vanadyl sulfate. All the doped VO2 particles exhibited a monoclinic crystalline phase and the critical phase transition temperature (Tc) of VO2 (M) was adjusted by Nb and W co-doping. The Tc of Nb-doped VO2 (M) decreased at a rate of approximately 10 °C/at% Nb dopant, and the transition temperature could also be accurately controlled to room temperature (about 27 °C) by co-doping with Nb and W. A film prepared using co-doped VO2 (M) particles showed a solar modulation ability of ~18% and a luminous transmittance of 40%, indicating that the co-doped VO2 (M) particles represent suitable candidates for smart window applications.

AbstractVanadium dioxide (VO2) has demonstrated highly potential for smart windows because of its thermochromic property. This study represents the development of a facile but efficient method for the synthesis of VO2 (M) nanoparticles by ball milling method under ambient conditions, without release of waste liquid or gases. The key variables related to synthesis, including milling time and molar ratio of raw materials, have been investigated. It was found that the pure-phase VO2 (M) nanoparticles with the sizes of the particles ranged from 20 to 50 nm and relatively good dispersivity could be prepared by optimizing process parameters. For practice use to decrease the phase transition temperature, elemental W doping amount of 2 at.%, V1−xWxO2 (M) nanoparticles were also studied, and their glass coating exhibits high thermochromic performance with luminous transmittance (Tlum) of 44.18%, solar regulation efficiency (∆Tsol) of 9.64%, and the critical phase transition temperature (Tc) of ~ 42 °C. This work demonstrates a green and promising ball milling method to fabricate large scale VO2 (M) and V1−xWxO2 (M) nanoparticles for smart windows.
