    Vanadium dioxide (Vo(2))-based thermochromic coatings has attracted considerable attention in the application of smart windows as a result of their intriguing property of metal- insulator transition at moderate temperatures. However, the practical requirements of smart windows, i.e., the high luminous transmittance of T-lum > 60% and large solar modulating ability of Delta T-sol > 10%, are competing to a large extent and hardly satisfied simultaneously. Here, we proposed a facile and universal method to prepare VO2 coatings for exceeding the criteria above using double-sided localized surface plasmon resonances (LSPRs), which are excited by the VO2 nanoparticles dispersed evenly on both surfaces of the fused silica substrate. With subtle engineering of the sol-gel and heat treatment processes, the morphology of as-prepared VO2 nanoparticles and corresponding LSPRs are controlled to achieve a high luminous transmittance (T-lum = 68.2%) and solar modulating ability (Delta T-sol = 11.7%) simultaneously. Further simulation suggests that the double-sided LSPRs can collectively enhance the performance of VO2 smart coatings. Moreover, the double-sided VO2 nanoparticle coatings demonstrate stable performance with no more than 1% degradation of T-lum and Delta T-sol after 1500 cycles. This study provides an alternative strategy to obtain high-quality VO2 (M) solar modulating coatings.
