For VO₂-based smart window manufacture, it is a long-standing demand for high-quality thin films deposited at low temperature. In this paper, the thermochromic films of VO₂ were deposited by a magnetron sputtering method at a fairly low temperature of 250 °C without subsequent annealing by embedding a V₂O₃ interlayer. V₂O₃ acts as a seed layer to lower the depositing temperature and buffer layer to epitaxial grow VO₂ film. The VO₂/V₂O₃ films display high solar modulating ability and narrow hysteresis loop. Finally, our data can serve as a promising point for industrial production with high degree of crystallinity at a low temperature.
