Abstract
Thermochromic VO2 was directly synthesized using hydrothermal techniques. The effects of formation conditions on the structure and morphology of the final product were studied through X-ray diffraction (XRD), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Unique hollow sphere morphology was observed for the synthesized VO2 powders. Ex-situ XRD studies after heat treatment confirmed the thermal stability of the VO2 structure. Thermochromic properties, as a consequence of the reversible structural transformation between monoclinic VO2 and tetragonal phases, were observed by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR).
