Morphology‐Controlled Silica Nanoparticle Coatings for Transparent Radiative Cooling
Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.Transparent radiative cooling coatings are achieved by immobilizing solid and hollow silica spheres on glass. Particle morphology within sub‐monolayer coatings is shown to govern the trade‐off between visible and atmospheric window reflectance. Hollow‐sphere structures enable reduced thermal emission losses while preserving transparency, highlighting ...
