💡AIST: Tungsten oxide based gas chromic photoresist film that can be produced at ambient temperature and atmosphere

– New technology for energy saving window glass –

point

  1. Confirm performance by fabricating tungsten oxide based gas chromic photochromic film at ambient temperature in air, chemical solution method
  2. It can be made into a device with only one type of film, and since the vacuum device is unnecessary, film production cost can be drastically reduced
  3. It can also be applied to plastic type substrates with low heat resistance because it can be formed at room temperature

This photochromic film formed on various substrates and sheets can be applied to smart windows (light control glass) that are useful for energy saving, hydrogen gas sensors that utilize the sensitivity to hydrogen gas, hydrogen visualized sheets, etc. Be expected.
