Abstract

Radiative cooling is a passive thermal management strategy that leverages the natural ability of materials to dissipate heat through infrared radiation. It has significant implications for energy efficiency, climate adaptation, and sustainable technology development, with applications in personal thermal management, building temperature regulation, and aerospace engineering. However, radiative cooling performance is susceptible to environmental aging and special environmental conditions, limiting its applicability in extreme environments. Herein, a critical review of extreme environmental radiative cooling is presented, focusing on enhancing environmental durability and cooling efficiency. This review first introduces the design principles of heat exchange channels, which are tailored based on the thermal flow equilibrium to optimize radiative cooling capacity in various extreme environments. Subsequently, recent advancements in radiative cooling materials and micro-nano structures that align with these principles are systematically discussed, with a focus on their implementation in terrestrial dwelling environments, terrestrial extreme environments, aeronautical environments, and space environments. Moreover, this review evaluates the cooling effects and anti-environmental abilities of extreme radiative cooling devices. Lastly, key challenges hindering the development of radiative cooling devices for extreme environmental applications are outlined, and potential strategies to overcome these limitations are proposed, aiming to prompt their future commercialization.

极端环境应用的辐射冷却材料。

辐射冷却是一种被动的热管理策略，利用材料的自然能力，通过红外辐射散热。它对能源效率、气候适应和可持续技术发展具有重要意义，在个人热管理、建筑温度调节和航空航天工程中都有应用。然而，辐射冷却性能容易受到环境老化和特殊环境条件的影响，限制了其在极端环境中的适用性。本文对极端环境辐射冷却进行了综述，重点介绍了如何提高环境耐久性和冷却效率。本文首先介绍了基于热流平衡的热交换通道设计原则，以优化各种极端环境下的辐射制冷量。随后，系统地讨论了与这些原理相一致的辐射冷却材料和微纳米结构的最新进展，重点讨论了它们在陆地居住环境、陆地极端环境、航空环境和空间环境中的应用。此外，本文还对极端辐射冷却装置的冷却效果和抗环境能力进行了评价。最后，概述了阻碍极端环境应用辐射冷却装置发展的主要挑战，并提出了克服这些限制的潜在策略，旨在促进其未来的商业化。
