Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We would like to invite you to submit your work to this Special Issue on “Advances in Chromogenic Thin Films”. Such technologies are poised to play a significant role in reducing building energy demand, that is suggested to account for 40% of all energy usage. A multitude of other applications, from sensors and actuators to product quality control, are also possible. Such technologies work in a dynamic way, responding to some external stimulus and adjusting their optical properties. Of particular interest are electrochromic, thermochromic, photochromic and gasochromic systems. Vast scientific and technological progress has been achieved on this topic by universities and research institutes all around the world. This progress has been supported by the industrial development of novel characterization and deposition tools. The aim of this Special Issue is to present the latest experimental and theoretical developments in the field, through a combination of original research papers and review articles from leading groups around the world.
Prof. Dr. Russell Binions
Guest Editor
