Passive radiative cooling using nanophotonic structures is limited by its high cost and poor compatibility with existing end uses, whereas polymeric photonic alternatives lack weather resistance effective solar reflection. We developed a cellular ceramic that can achieve highly efficient light scattering near-perfect reflectivity of 99.6%. These qualities, coupled thermal emissivity, allow the to provide continuous subambient in an outdoor setting power >130 watts per square meter at noon,...
Adaptive control of solar and thermal radiation through windows is pivotal importance for building energy saving. However, such synchronous passive regulations are challenging to be integrated into one thermochromic window. Here, we develop a regulatory (STR) window by integrating poly( N -isopropylacrylamide) (pNIPAm) silver nanowires (AgNWs) pNIPAm/AgNW composites. A hitherto unexplored mechanism, originating from the temperature-triggered water capture release due pNIPAm phase transition,...
Daytime radiative cooling provides an eco-friendly solution to space with zero energy consumption. Despite significant advances, most state-of-the-art coolers show broadband infrared emission low spectral selectivity, which limits their temperatures, especially in hot humid regions. Here, all-inorganic narrowband emitter comprising a solution-derived SiOx Ny layer sandwiched between reflective substrate and self-assembly monolayer of SiO2 microspheres is reported. It shows high diffusive...
Abstract Low‐cost and large‐area solar–thermal absorbers with superior spectral selectivity excellent thermal stability are vital for efficient large‐scale conversion applications, such as space heating, desalination, ice mitigation, photothermal catalysis, concentrating solar power. Few state‐of‐the‐art selective qualified both low‐ ( < 200 ° C) high‐temperature > 600 applications due to insufficient or over a wide temperature range. Here, high‐performance plasmonic metamaterial...
Engineering icephobic surfaces has been a long-standing effort to address the challenges of ice prevention and removal in our daily life industrial applications. Superhydrophobic photothermal effect have shown their distinct merits anti-icing deicing. It is highly desirable exploit mutual benefits realize passive, durable, sustainable icephobicity even at extremely low temperatures. We report on superhydrophobic selective surface constructed with hierarchical architecture enable stable...
