Abstract: Thin films of thermochromic vanadium dioxide were deposited using a novel electric field assisted chemical vapor deposition methodology at atmospheric pressure onto glass substrates. Electric fields were generated during the deposition reaction by applying a potential difference across the inter-digitated electrodes of the gas sensor substrate or buy applying an electric field between two transparent conducting oxide coated glass substrates. The deposited films were analyzed and characterized using scanning electron microscopy, Raman spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, atomic force microscopy, variable temperature optical spectroscopy and contact angle measurements. It was found that applying an electric field led to large changes in film microstructure, preferential orientation and changes in the film growth rate. This led to significant changes in materials properties such as decreased crystallite size, nano-structuring, increased surface roughness and enhanced wetting behavior. The deposited films were evaluated using Energy Plus for their energy demand reduction characteristics in a variety of architectural settings and compared against existing glazing products. It was found that thermochromic thin films can offer significant energy demand reduction benefits.
