Electrochromic materials for the regulation of solar energy transmission through windows
Abstract
The concept of an architectural switching film based on solid state electrochromism is introduced. Electrochromic films have the ability to dynamically control solar transmission through a glazing and to alter the energy conduction properties of the window. Switching properties of transition metal oxides based on tungsten and iridium are detailed. The properties of wO3 based films, which can modify both the visible and near infrared portions of the solar spectrum, are given.
