Passive daytime radiative cooling (PDRC) is an emerging sustainable technology that can spontaneously radiate heat to outer space through atmospheric transparency window achieve self-cooling. PDRC has attracted considerable attention and shows great potential for personal thermal management (PTM). However, polymers are limited polyethylene, polyvinylidene fluoride, their derivatives. In this study, a series of polymer films based on thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) composite with silica...
Abstract Silica aerogels, a type of porous material featuring extra low density and thermal conductivity, have drawn increasing interest from both academia industry owing to their excellent insulation performance. However, is always the single consideration when silica aerogels are used for management. In this study, on‐demand management (ODTM) aerogel with either passive insulation, heating, or cooling in different environments revealed. The ODTM behavior can be simply fulfilled through...
Abstract Individuals are easily threatened by heat stress or hypothermia in outdoor environments. Therefore, there is a pressing necessity for thermal regulation materials capable of adapting to temperature shocks. Herein, an aerogel‐functionalized textile as passive regulator (AT‐PTR) designed and demonstrated, comprising heating side composed carbon nanotube‐modified cotton fabric cooling built silica poly(vinylidene‐co‐hexafluoropropene) P(VdF‐HFP) nanofibers. The AT‐PTR demonstrates...
The hierarchical nanomaterials/biomass carbon aerogels are of great interest in various fields including oil/water separation and oil absorption based on the synergistic effects mechanical strength, recyclability, wettability together with convenient separation. Here, we report fabrication hybrid aerogel prepared simply by situ growth TiO2 nanorods surface biomass under hydrothermal condition, followed modification hydrogen atmosphere. interconnected 3D network structure could offer a...
Passive thermal regulation has attracted increasing interest owing to its zero-energy consumption capacity, which is expected alleviate current crises in fossil energy and global warming. In this study, a biomimetic multilayer structure (BMS) comprising silica aerogel, photothermal conversion material (PTCM), phase change (PCM) layer designed inspired by the physiological skin of polar bears for passive heating with desirable temperature endurance. The transparent aerogel functions as hairs...
Personal thermal management (PTM) materials have attracted increasing attention owing to their application for personal comfort in an energy-saving mode. However, they normally work the same media such as air, and little is known about what will happen other like water. In this study, a system cross-media (CMTM): passive cooling air insulation underwater proposed. Hybrid aerogels comprising thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) matrix superhydrophobic silica aerogel particle (SSAP) CMTM are...
Abstract Passive thermal management saves energy using natural processes but struggles with precise temperature control in variable environments. This study designs and synthesizes temperature‐programmable hydrogels (TPH) based on a bilayer polyvinyl alcohol network tunable passive heating capacity. The TPH features an upper layer adjustable transmittance (6.9% to 37.3%) bottom solar absorption (92.5% 97%), achieving energy‐free programmable range of 21–39 °C induced by heating....
Personal thermal management (PTM) has attracted extensive attention due to its convenience for both wearable cooling and warming in a person-to-person manner. However, challenges remain PTM harsh conditions, not only the material's resistance conditions but also regulation capacity extreme environments. Herein, conformal structured polypyrrole@Al2O3 ceramic fiber fabric (CCF) been designed synthesized by an situ growth strategy. The polypyrrole shell induces robust photothermal conversion...
