Abstract The high phase transition temperature, low solar modulation efficiency, and unfavorable brown-yellow color have limited the practical application of VO$_{2}$-based smart windows. By embedding a hexagonal close-packed monolayer array of SiO$_{2}$ into the monoclinic VO$_{2}$(M)-Ag composite film using an electron-beam evaporation system, a two-dimensional VO$_{2}$(M)-AgSiO$_{2}$ shell/core photonic crystal composite material was formed. Due to the increased contact area between Ag and VO$_{2}$(M) within the composite material, the concentration of free electrons in VO$_{2}$(M) increases, causing the phase transition to occur at a lower temperature of 52.2 $^\circ$C. With the embedded SiO$_{2}$ array, the solar modulation efficiency is enhanced to 25.4 %, and the visible light modulation efficiency increases by nearly 7 times. Additionally, the grating effect of the photonic crystal significantly diffracts light around the 600 nm wavelength, reducing the strong absorption of VO$_{2}$(M) in the shortwave range and diluting its inherent brown-yellow color. By embedding the SiO$_{2}$ array into the VO$_2$(M)-Ag composite film, this approach simultaneously achieves a reduction in phase transition temperature, enhancement of solar modulation efficiency, and color adjustment of the film, providing a reference for the practical application of VO$_{2}$ in smart windows.

Online attention
Altmetric calculates a score based on the online attention an article receives. Each coloured thread in the circle represents a different type of online attention. The number in the centre is the Altmetric score. Social media and mainstream news media are the main sources that calculate the score. Reference managers such as Mendeley are also tracked but do not contribute to the score. Older articles often score higher because they have had more time to get noticed. To account for this, Altmetric has included the context data for other articles of a similar age.
