Abstract

We demonstrate a material by dispersing a thermochromic mixture of leuco dye, developer, and solvent as microspheres in a polymer matrix to improve the efficiency of building energy management. The smart, photo-thermochromic film can automatically switch between a colored and colorless state in response to climate temperature and light to realize photothermal heating and cooling.
