Translucent composite films of poly(vinylidene fluoride) , ionic liquid, and nickel complexes are successfully fabricated using thermal modulation of dissolution, casting, and drying. These films exhibit high stability in ambient storage and reversible thermochromic responses in air at temperatures achievable under sunlight, promising intelligent windows for controlling solar heat entering the built environment.
