Abstract

Abstract Thermochromic smart windows are widely developed to modulate building energy exchange to save building energy consumption. However, most smart windows have fixed working temperatures, moderate energy‐saving efficiency, and are not suitable for diverse (cold and hot) climates. Here smart windows with strong temperature modulation over a broad range of hydrogels with adjustable transition temperatures for all‐weather building temperature regulation in different climates are reported. Thermochromic poly( N ‐isopropylacrylamide‐ co ‐N, N ‐dimethylacrylamide) hydrogels, with lower critical transition temperatures ranging from 32.5 to 43.5 °C, are developed for smart windows with solar modulation up to…
