Abstract
Passive daytime radiative cooling (PDRC) technology has received a great deal of attention in the field of energy efficiency and environmental protection as a sustainable technology and a large-scale and promising solution to mitigate the environmental impact of global warming. In this study, we prepared PDRC material by combining FEP with modified Al2O3 particles and using the method of spray combined with phase separation. The synergistic effect of the formed surface micronanostructures, combined with the molecular vibration of FEP and the phonon polarization resonance of Al2O3, further improves the optical performance of the PDRC coating. The PDRC coating has an average reflectivity of 0.96 in the solar spectral band (0.3-2.5 μm) and an average emissivity of 0.963 in the atmospheric window band ((8-13 μm). In addition, the PDRC coating had good hydrophobicity, and its water contact angle (WAC) reached 159.3°. Under direct sunlight conditions, PDRC materials have a good temperature drop (4.9 °C) compared to ambient temperatures and radiative cooling power (81.2 W/m2). The prepared coating maintains superhydrophobicity and excellent cooling performance when soaked in solutions of different pH values and UV radiation, which was of great significance for sustainable applications. Our work provides a form of long-term cooling that can be effectively implemented in green and energy-efficient buildings.
