All-day passive radiative cooling using common salts
Materials Horizons, 2023 Radiative cooling materials continue to underperform compared to their theoretical potential due to parasitic heating from contact with ambient air. Solutions to this problem are expensive or complex to fabricate. Here, a potentially inexpensive, simply fabricated material that improves cooling performance by reducing parasitic heating was created ...

Passive Daytime Radiative Cooling (PDRC): The nanohybrid approach
EPJ Web of ConferencesA set of new nanohybrid polymeric formulations containing silicon compounds (like T8 silsesquioxanes or SiC nanoparticles) and small organic molecules (like azulene) have been deposited on adhesive aluminium tape, characterized and exposed to the outdoor environment of Casaccia (Rome), monitoring their temperature.

Recent Progress in Daytime Radiative Cooling: Is It the Air Conditioner of the Future?
Buildings, 2018 Radiative cooling is a well-researched area. For many years, surfaces relying on radiative cooling failed to exhibit a sub-ambient surface temperature under the sun because of the limited reflectance in the solar spectrum and the reduced absorptivity in ...
