Abstract

This paper summarizes some recent advances for electrochromic and thermochromic fenestration. For the former application, we consider a polymer-laminated construction and show that the addition of nanoparticles to the electrolyte can enhance its ionic conductivity (with fumed silica) and quench the near-infrared transmittance which transmits solar energy but is not important for visible light (with ITO nanoparticles). Regarding thermochromics, we discuss recent experimental and theoretical work on Mg-doped VO2, where the doping lowers the luminous absorptance, and on measurements applied to Al2O3-coated VO2 with good stability with regard to high-temperature treatment.
