Photochromic materials are pivotal for rewritable smart media, yet conventional systems suffer from sluggish kinetics, UV dependency, and low optical contrast. Herein, we present a visible-light-responsive Sn-TiO2/phosphotungstic acid (PTA) nanocomposite film mediated by polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) that addresses these challenges through interfacial engineering bandgap modulation. Sn-doped TiO2 nanoparticles, synthesized hydrothermally, covalently linked to phosphotungstic clusters via PVP-assisted dispersion, enabling efficient charge separation under 450 nm illumination. The Sn-TiO2/PTA/PVP achieves ultrafast coloration within 10 s, attributed the reduction of W6⁺ W5⁺ in PTA. colored state exhibits remarkable air stability (48 h) rapid recovery (<30 min) H2O2 vapor, sustaining >80 reversible cycles without degradation. With narrowed (2.23 eV) broadband intervalence transfer (IVCT) absorption (600–800 nm), demonstrates high-contrast black-state 2-day legibility as medium. This work overcomes limitations organic dyes UV-dependent systems, offering an inorganic, eco-friendly platform displays, anti-counterfeiting labels, energy-efficient photochromic technologies.

Abstract Organic–inorganic composite photochromic coatings receive significant attention in energy utilization and conservation due to their easy application rapid photoresponse. However, high sensitivity moisture limits practical applications. This study fabricates organic–inorganic functional using a simple one‐pot method, producing materials with excellent photoresponsive, water resistance, thermal insulation. Unmodified phosphotungstic acid serves as the inorganic filler, while methacrylate derivatives act polymer matrix, resulting initial transparency (over 85%). After 5 min of UV exposure, samples shift nearly non‐transmittable states visible range maintain color depth through 14 coloring‐erasing cycles. Unlike polyvinylpyrrolidone substrates, which absorb soften quickly, this coating has static contact angle up 91.7°, showing resistance. Additionally, material provides effective heat insulation simulated chamber experiments, lowering temperature by 15 °C compared untreated chambers. In summary, coating, its insulation, light responsiveness, stable cycling performance, outstanding waterproof capabilities, proves highly suitable for applications such smart windows, information storage, building efficiency.
