The Structural Design and Performance of Organic/Inorganic Hybrid Composite Hydrogel Smart Windows
The hydrogel smart window is a type of intelligent responsive window that can modulate sunlight through reversible state transitions near the critical solution temperature,thereby achieving the goal of reducing energy consumption.This paper designs and prepares a composite hydrogel(HPC-PNIPAM/CsxWO3)smart window using hydroxypropyl cellulose(HPC),poly(N-isopropylacrylamide)(PNIPAM),and cesium tungsten bronze nanomaterials(CsxWO3)as raw materials.This composite hydrogel exhibits a high transmittance of 68.93％at low temperatures,which decreases to 0.82％at high temperatures,demonstrating excellent solar modulation capability of 68.11％.Additionally,the response time is shortened to 12.9 seconds,and the response efficiency is improved.Compared to traditional hydrogel smart windows,this novel window not only has a more suitable critical solution temperature but also exhibits excellent solar modulation capabilities.This provides a new avenue for the development of novel hydrogel-based smart windows.
