In recent years, the use of smart windows to adjust sunlight to achieve energy conversion has received increasing attention. In this paper, a novel smart window was easily prepared by using thermochromic hydrogels as an interlayer and indium tin oxide films as an electric heating layer. The shielding transmission rates of visible and near-infrared light reached 88.3 and 85.4% at the temperature of 25 degrees C, respectively. However, the transmittance at a light wavelength of 550 nm was greater than 70% after applying voltage. The smart windows with different components could possess thermochromic temperature ranging from 28 to 35 degrees C, which was suitable for daily life. The smart window could maintain a stable reversible thermochromic transition. Importantly, the time of light transition and the demand of energy efficiency could be adjusted by controlling the magnitude of the output voltage, which benefited the development of energy-efficient materials.
