ENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, EarlyView.Cement phases are good materials for radiative cooling thanks to the selective emissivity in IR ATW. Cement powders have high reflectance of solar radiation which reduces the thermal losses. The onset of the absorption curves is defined by bound excitons. Sulfates have higher radiated powers and reflectance than calcium silicates.

Carbon Dots: An Emerging Frontier for Green and Sustainable Civil Engineering Materials
ENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, EarlyView.Traditional civil engineering materials (CE materials) are usually involved with high‐energy consumption during manufacturing, significant maintenance costs, and substantial environmental impacts throughout their life cycles. The progress of nanotechnology is catalyzing a green and sustainable transformation within the field.
