Nanotechnology-based multifunctional smart window development

本项目旨在开发一种多功能智能窗户，通过在收集太阳能的同时调节窗户的热透光率，将室内环境的热调节与太阳能收集结合起来。本项目期望为绿色建筑生产一种低能耗的建筑面料。新产品预计将减少建筑和工业应用中的加热和冷却能源消耗，减少碳排放和室内照明的发电。这将扩大材料科学和先进制造的基础知识，并通过为早期职业研究人员提供高质量的研究机会来增强澳大利亚的研究能力，从而带来巨大的好处。

This project aims to develop a multifunctional smart window which combines thermal regulation of the indoor environment with solar energy harvesting by regulating thermal and light transmittance through the window while harvesting solar energy. This project expects to generate a low-energy building fabric for green building construction. The new product is expected to lead to a reduction in heating and cooling energy consumption in building and industrial applications, a reduction in carbon emissions and electricity generation for indoor lighting. This will provide significant benefits by expanding fundamental knowledge of material science and advanced manufacturing, and enhancing Australia's research capacity by promoting high quality research opportunities for early career researchers.
