| description | In recent years, global warming has become a huge issue and much emphasis has been
placed on reducing fossil fuel consumption. Residential and commercial buildings
consume a large amount of electrical energy to maintain air-conditioning or heating in
certain countries. As windows are known to be the weakest thermal link in the building,
there has been a lot of research interest in smart windows technology so as to reduce
energy consumption in buildings. Current technologies for smart windows include
electrochromic, PDLC and nanocrystal-based smart windows. Much research has done on
smart windows where heat in the form of infrared radiation is modulated, the most
common being electrochromic windows but not much has been researched for the
modulation of other types of heat transfer. Thus, a method that is facile and cost-effective
to synthesize smart windows that modulate heat through conduction is introduced in this
study. GQD and GQD doped with Ag, Cu and W nanoparticles are synthesized using
electrophoretic deposition techniques, where it will be tested and characterized to
determine its thermal conductivity and other properties relevant to a smart window. |
