VO₂ has shown great promise for sensors, smart windows, and energy storage devices, because of its drastic semiconductor-to-metal transition (SMT) near 340 K coupled with a structural transition. To push its application toward room-temperature, effective transition temperature (T_c) tuning in VO₂ is desired. Here, in this study, tailorable SMT characteristics in VO₂ films have been achieved by the electrochemical intercalation of foreign ions (e.g., Li ions). By controlling the relative potential with respect to Li/Li⁺ during the intercalation process, T_c of VO₂ can be effectively and systematically tuned in the window from 326.7 to 340.8 K. The effective T_c tuning could be attributed to the observed strain and lattice distortion and the change of the charge carrier density in VO₂ introduced by the intercalation process. This demonstration opens up a new approach in tuning the VO₂ phase transition toward room-temperature device applications and enables future real-time phase change property tuning.
