Visibly Transparent and Infrared Reflective Coatings for Personal Thermal Management and Thermal Camouflage

Advanced Functional Materials, 2022
AbstractTailoring thermal radiation using low‐infrared‐emissivity materials has drawn significant attention for diverse applications, such as passive radiative heating and thermal camouflage. However, the previously reported low‐infrared‐emissivity materials have the bottleneck of lacking independent control over visible optical properties.
