Radiative cooling is an efficient passive cooling strategy that dissipates excessive heat to the universe through thermal radiation. In particular, all-day passive radiative cooling has offered an even larger spectrum of energy-saving applications by suppressing solar absorptivity under solar irradiation. In this talk, we present our recent research progress on all-day passive radiative cooling for practical applications as well as for improved cooling performance. Firstly, we discuss the inverse design of daytime radiative cooling for high performance [3]. The design of a selective multilayer emitter was optimized by a genetic algorithm, and we achieved highly suppressed solar absorption, thereby, high-performance radiative cooling under direct sunlight. We also discuss inverse design of colored daytime radiative coolers using deep neural networks. Methods for achieving on-demand color generation with high NIR reflectance are developed [4]. We then discuss the efforts to promote the implementation of radiative cooling for real-world applications. We first discuss the realization of all-day radiative cooling devices on a large scale to address practical issues [5-7]. By using silica-coated porous anodic aluminum oxide, we developed a centimeter-scale radiative cooling device demonstrating a maximum cooling of 6.1 °C below ambient during the daytime [5]. We also developed large-scale radiative cooling devices in particle mixture coating format [6]. By further analyzing the effect of each particle on radiative cooling performance, we report a large-scale paint-format radiative cooling device with high performance [7]. Such particle-based devices allow the use of facile one-step and cost-effective fabrication methods, providing the potential for large-scale production and applications. Finally, we present radiative cooling devices with practical functionalities, including transparency [8] switchability [9] and multifunctionalities. We discuss a transparent radiative cooling device that transmits visible light reflects near-infrared light and radiates thermal energy to lower the temperature during the daytime while maintaining transparency [8]. Such a transparent can be used for eco-friendly cooling windows in vehicles or buildings. We further discuss our recent development on visibly transparent radiative cooling windows specialized for enclosed space cooling using Janus emitters. We also developed a neutral-colored transparent radiative cooler that optimizes both visible transparency and solar reflection using a punctured Ag layer. Additionally, by exploiting the changeable material properties of vanadium dioxide in response to temperature, we achieved a temperature-adaptive radiative cooling device that radiates thermal energy only when the temperature is above the phase transition temperature [9]. Lastly, all-weather sustainable windows integrating triboelectric nanogenerator and transparent radiative cooler for both energy saving and harvesting as well as the transparency-enhanced radiative cooling devices are discussed [10,11].- [1]So, S. et al., Advanced Science, 2024, 11, 2305067.
