(A) Electronic density of states for b-VO₂.

(B) The calculated ELF of b-VO₂. Green to red indicates the gradually increased charge localization.

(C) Schematic illustrating the synthesis of the metallic b-VO₂ nanosheet array on glass.

(D) The prepared substrate covered with black b-VO₂ nanosheets.

(E) XRD pattern of the b-VO₂ sample.

(F) EDS component analysis of the b-VO₂ sample.

(G) SEM images of the b-VO₂ nanosheet arrays.
