The VO2 film with "movable" antireflective (AR) coating was initially designed and successfully prepared to deal the challenges that faced. AR layer, including water other organic solvents, not only endowed active-passive regulation mode but also dramatically enhanced thermochromic performance. Furthermore, we combined solid movable antireflection layer for further structural optimization, result turned out be superior any multilayer structure reported previously. We believe this revolutionary concept of will open up a new avenue low-cost smart window applications.
