Radiative cooling is a passive technology that offers great promises to reduce space cost, combat the urban island effect, and alleviate global warming. To achieve daytime radiative cooling, current state-of-the-art solutions often utilize complicated multilayer structures or reflective metal layer, limiting their applications in many fields. Attempts have been made with single-layer paints, but they require thick coating show partial cooling. In this work, we experimentally demonstrate...
Radiative cooling is a passive technology by reflecting sunlight and emitting radiation in the atmospheric sky window. Although highly desired, full daytime sub-ambient radiative commercial-like single-layer particle-matrix paints yet to be achieved. In this work, we have demonstrated CaCO3-acrylic paint adopting large bandgap fillers, high particle concentration broad size distribution. Our shows highest solar reflectance of 95.5% among sky-window emissivity 0.94. Field tests show power...
Recent advances in thermally localized solar evaporation hold significant promise for vapor generation, seawater desalination, wastewater treatment, and medical sterilization. However, salt accumulation is one of the key bottlenecks reliable adoption. Here, we demonstrate highly efficient (>80% solar-to-vapor conversion efficiency) rejecting (20 weight % salinity) by engineering fluidic flow a wick-free confined water layer. With mechanistic modeling experimental characterization transport,...
Abstract Sorption‐based atmospheric water harvesting (SAWH) offers a sustainable strategy to address the global freshwater shortage. However, obtaining sorbents with excellent performance over wide relative humidity (RH) range and devices fully autonomous production remains challenging. Herein, magnesium chloride (MgCl 2 ) is innovatively converted into super hygroscopic complexes(MC), which can effectively solve problems of salt deliquescence agglomeration. The MC are then integrated...
Abstract Radiative cooling has emerged as a passive strategy and attracted significant attention, particularly over the past five years. While many researchers have designed various radiative materials evaluated their performance, inconsistent or even erroneous measurement data different reporting styles widely exist. This lack of consistency adds complexity to comparison reproduction performance across diverse range studied by researchers. In this paper, general considerations for assessing...
We developed high-performance thermal interface materials (TIMs) based on few-layer graphene (FLG) composite, where FLG was prepared by the interlayer catalytic exfoliation (ICE) method. experimentally demonstrated feasibility of composites as TIMs investigating their and mechanical properties, reliability. measured resistance ($R_{int}$) between composite (FLGTs) copper to be 3.2$\pm$1.7 4.3$\pm$1.4 $mm^2$K/W for 5 vol.% 10 FLGTs at 330 K, respectively, comparable or even lower than that...
