A hierarchically structured self-cleaning energy-free polymer film for daytime radiative cooling

Meng-Chen Huang et al.

Summary: This study fabricates a hierarchically structured PVDF/PDMS porous film that integrates strong sunlight reflectance, high thermal-infrared emittance, and robust super hydrophobicity, achieving a sub-ambient temperature drop under strong sunlight and maintaining long-term radiative cooling performance through self-cleaning.

A visibly transparent radiative cooling film with self-cleaning function produced by solution processing

Guoliang Chen et al.

Summary: Daylighting structures face issues with solar heat and dust contamination. A radiative cooling system utilizing nanospheres embedded in a polymer matrix was found to efficiently cool and clean the structures while maintaining high sunlight transmittance and infrared emissivity. The nanocomposite film not only preserved the efficiency of solar cells but also enhanced their electrical power output by reducing operating temperatures and providing self-cleaning properties.

Surface Pattern over a Thick Silica Film to Realize Passive Radiative Cooling

Yuhong Liu et al.

Summary: Passive radiative cooling has attracted attention for its ability to cool items without electrical input. Silica is commonly used in radiative coolers for its high emissivity, but bare silica film has poor performance due to an emitting dip in the mid-infrared region. By sculpturing structures on the silica film, its emissivity can be improved, leading to over 90% emissivity at 8-13 µm. Two cooler designs, a silica deep grating and a silica cylinder array, have been proposed with high emissivity and insensitivity to polarization angle.
