Scalable Inkjet Printing of Electrochromic Smart Windows for Building Energy Modulation

Electrochromic smart windows are promising for green buildings due to energy efficiency, long optical memory effect, and tunable optical transmission. However, their wide application in buildings is impeded by challenges in scalability, cost‐effectiveness, and limited optical contrast. Quantitative field study of energy savings enabled by electrochromic smart windows in buildings is also lacking. Herein, with the established inkjet printing procedures, electrochromic smart windows (900 cm2) are fabricated. With large optical contrast (≈60%), fast switching kinetics (tc = 43 s, tb = 70 s), and long optical memory retention (transmittance
