Abstract
Passive daytime radiative cooling (PDRC) can both maximize the thermal emission through the atmospheric window and minimize the absorption of incoming atmospheric radiation, which can realize a net cooling effect without consuming energy. Polymer-based materials have greatly advanced the progress of this technology due to their ease of structure engineering and good adaptability for fabrication. Herein, a critical review is presented on polymer-based materials aiming to meet the requirement for the efficient PDRC characteristics and the commercial applications. Firstly, the fundamental principles and the theoretical simulation for PDRC materials are summarized. Secondly, the review takes a specific perspective based on structure and fabrication of polymer-based materials to summarize the most recent advances in PDRC. Lastly, applying new cases, the remaining open challenges and the insights are presented.
期刊介绍:
Advanced Composites and Hybrid Materials is a leading international journal that promotes interdisciplinary collaboration among materials scientists, engineers, chemists, biologists, and physicists working on composites, including nanocomposites. Our aim is to facilitate rapid scientific communication in this field.
The journal publishes high-quality research on various aspects of composite materials, including materials design, surface and interface science/engineering, manufacturing, structure control, property design, device fabrication, and other applications. We also welcome simulation and modeling studies that are relevant to composites. Additionally, papers focusing on the relationship between fillers and the matrix are of particular interest.
Our scope includes polymer, metal, and ceramic matrices, with a special emphasis on reviews and meta-analyses related to materials selection. We cover a wide range of topics, including transport properties, strategies for controlling interfaces and composition distribution, bottom-up assembly of nanocomposites, highly porous and high-density composites, electronic structure design, materials synergisms, and thermoelectric materials.
Advanced Composites and Hybrid Materials follows a rigorous single-blind peer-review process to ensure the quality and integrity of the published work.
