Vanadium dioxide coatings were grown on SnO2-precoated glass substrates by atmospheric pressure chemical vapor deposition using vanadyl (V) triisopropoxide at temperatures ≤ 450oC. X-ray diffraction indicated the presence of metastable phase for the as-grown samples at 350 and 400oC, while well-defined monoclinic vanadium dioxide phase was shown at 450oC as derived by Raman spectroscopy. The different phases of vanadium dioxide affected the coating’s morphology presenting long grains with irregular size and shape turning to flattened structures composed with grains of uniform dimensions as the temperature increased from 350 to 450oC. The best reversible behavior was at 64oC with hysteresis width of 15oC and a change in transmittance of 21 % for the as-grown coating at 450oC. The significance of achieving thermochromic vanadium dioxide at temperatures ≤ 450oC by a chemical procedure without post-treatment reduction and oxidant source is highlighted.
