Near‐Infrared‐Activated Thermochromic Perovskite Smart Windows

Perovskite‐based thermochromic smart windows that can change color have attracted much interest. However, the high transition temperature (>45 °C in air) hinders their practical application. Herein, a near‐infrared (NIR) activated thermochromic perovskite window that enables reversible transition cycles at room temperature is proposed. Under natural sunlight (>700 W m(−2)), it efficiently harvests 78% NIR light to trigger the thermochromism of perovskites, blocking the heat gain from both the visible and NIR light. Meanwhile, it also exhibits a low mid‐infrared emissivity of <0.3, suppressing thermal radiation to the indoor environment. A field test demonstrates that this smart window can reduce the indoor temperature by 8 °C compared to a normal glass window at noon. The near‐room‐temperature color change, multispectral thermal management, outstanding energy‐saving ability, and climate adaptability, and solution‐based process of this window make it unique and promising for real applications.
