Highlights
•
One-step synthesis of thermochromic VO2 monoclinic phase, and VO2 (A and B phases) using hydrothermal technique. VO2 (A), VO2 (B).
•
Identification of the relationship between synthesis conditions and the morphology/structure of the final products.
•
Formation of VO2 monoclinic phase with an interesting hollow sphere shape.
•
Demonstration of superior thermal stability of the VO2 monoclinic phase.
•
Characterizing the thermochromic properties of VO2 monoclinic phase.
