Scalable Fabrication of Large‑Scale Electrochromic Smart Windows for Superior Solar Radiation Regulation and Energy Savings

Caption

  • Propose the in-situ growth strategy of WO3 films and deeply explore the growth mechanism and reveal the "one stone, three birds" synergistic mechanism of silver nanowires.
  • The WO3-based electrochromic devices not only can achieve large-area fabrication, dual-band regulation, and excellent cycling stability, but also possess excellent photothermal control capabilities.
  • A uniform and large-scale WO3-based electrochromic smart windows of 6000 cm2 was fabricated through a simple device, which can save building energy up to 140.0 MJ m-2 compared to traditional windows.
