	abstract = {VO2 has garnered much attention in recent years as a promising candidate for thermochromic window applications due to rising awareness about energy conservation. However, the trade-off between improving the luminous transmittance (Tlum) and solar modulation ability (ΔTsol) limits the commercialization of VO2-based smart windows. Four major nanostructuring approaches were implemented to enhance both Tlum and ΔTsol, namely nanocomposites, nanoporous films, biomimetic moth-eye structures and anti-reflection coating (ARC) multilayers. This work demonstrates a novel approach that fabricates periodic, micro-patterned structures of VO2 using a facile screen printing method. The micro-patterned structure is able to favorably transmit visible light without sacrificing high near-IR modulation, and the patterned film shows improved Tlum (67\% vs. 60\%) and ΔTsol (8.8\% vs. 6.9\%) compared with continuous films. By varying the thickness, periodicity and solid concn., this approach can give a ΔTsol of 14.9\% combined with a Tlum of 43.3\%, which is comparable, if not superior to, some of the best reported results found using other approaches.
