Investigation of the technology for obtaining thin coatings of vanadium pentoxide for the production of smart windows

Abstract

This article deals with the doping of vanadium pentaoxide with tungsten in various quantities and obtaining coatings used in the production of “smart windows” from the resulting melt. The properties of the obtained coatings were determined using X-Ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscope (SEM). The thermo-optical properties, namely solar reflectance and IR emittance, were investigated and were correlated with the doping tungsten effect in thin vanadium oxide films.
