Overview

Randomized trial evaluates thermochromic smart windows for thermal regulation and energy harvesting, suggesting improved energy efficiency in buildings.

Key Points

  • This research aims to develop a smart window that integrates thermal regulation with thermoelectric energy harvesting.
  • Utilized two hydrogel layers for dual-phase temperature-responsive optical switching.
  • Integrated thermoelectric functionality within the window design.
  • Measured transparency and power density under varying temperature conditions.
  • Maintained over 90% transparency between 16°C and 32°C, turning opaque outside these temperatures.
  • Achieved a power density of 0.191 W/m² at a 10 K temperature differential.
  • Demonstrated effective thermal insulation properties under both hot and cold conditions.
