Morphological analysis demonstrates the evolution of distinct nanowires, offering insights into the lattice strain of the VO2 layer toward high-performance thermochromatic devices. Temperature-dependent sheet resistivity is investigated, showcasing significant improvements in conductivity for samples with MoO3 as a window layer. The electrical and optical properties of the MoO3/VO2/WO3 device showed a phase transition temperature (T-c) of 36.8 degrees C, a transmittance luminous (T-lum) of 54.57%, and a solar modulation ability (Delta T-sol) of 12.43. This comprehensive analysis contributes to understanding the growth of nanowires on multi-layered thin films, offering valuable insights into potential applications in bright windows.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess[Keyword Not Available]Article26655485557382842092-s2.0-85184188011Q1WOS:00115314530000110.1039/d3cp05942a
