THERMOCHROMIC MATERIAL AND FABRICATION THEREOF

摘要

In a method for manufacturing of thermochromic material, a target luminous transmittance level for the thermochromic material is determined (210). The luminous transmittance level is defined within a predetermined wavelength region. Preferably, this predetermined wavelength region at least partly comprises visible light. A concentration level of a first dopant element is determined (212) for generating the luminous transmittance level of the thermochromic material. The first dopant element has an oxide presenting a high bandgap in its electronic structure, and is preferably A1 and/or Mg. A VO2-based thermochromic material is doped (214) with the determined concentration level of the first dopant element.
