Accelerating vapor condensation with daytime radiative cooling [PDF]

New Concepts in Solar and Thermal Radiation Conversion II, 2019
Vapor condensation plays a crucial role in solar water-purification technologies. Conventional condensers in solar water-purification systems do not provide sufficient cooling power for vapor condensation, limiting the water production rate to $0.4 L m^{-2} hour^{-1}$.

Sustainable and Inexpensive Polydimethylsiloxane Sponges for Daytime Radiative Cooling. [PDF]

Adv Sci (Weinh), 2021
AbstractRadiative cooling is an emerging cooling technology that can passively release heat to the environment. To obtain a subambient cooling effect during the daytime, chemically engineered structural materials are widely explored to simultaneously reject sunlight and preserve strong thermal emission.

Daytime radiative cooling with silica fiber network [PDF]

Solar Energy Materials and Solar Cells, 2020
Abstract Daytime radiative cooling under sunlight can be achieved by embedding micro-sized objects into a binder. In the present article, by carrying out a numerical study of daytime radiative cooling material design using statistical Monte Carlo method, we demonstrate that a silica (SiO2) fiber network can efficiently reflect sunlight via ...
