Hydrothermal synthesis of vanadium dioxide nanoparticles codoped with magnesium/tungsten by Tang, Kai Wen

“…For a pure VO2 that contains no doping, the phase transition occurs at 68°C which is relatively much higher than the room temperature of 25°C. This means that the high Tc it exhibits as well as the low ΔTsol and Tlum limit its practical applications as a thermochromic material for the smart window coatings in an ambient temperature. …”
