Abstract
A thermochromic substrate and a method of manufacturing the same, in which the crystallinity of a thermochromic layer can be improved. The method includes the steps of forming a pre-thermochromic layer on a glass substrate by coating the glass substrate with pure vanadium, forming a seed layer by heat-treating the pre-thermochromic layer, and forming a thermochromic layer by coating the heat-treated seed layer with a vanadium dioxide (VO2) thin film.

A method of manufacturing a thermochromic substrate,
- the thermochromic substrate comprising:
- a base substrate;
- a seed layer formed on the base substrate;
- and
- a thermochromic layer formed on the seed layer,
- wherein the thermochromic layer comprises a thermochromic substance, and the seed layer is modified such that at least a surface thereof facing the thermochromic layer contains the thermochromic substance,
- the method comprising:
- forming a pre-thermochromic layer on the base substrate, the pre-thermochromic layer containing a pre-thermochromic substance;
- forming the seed layer by heat-treating the pre-thermochromic layer;
- and
- forming the thermochromic layer on the seed layer.
A method of manufacturing a thermochromic substrate,
