Attaining thermal comfort not only requires thermal control of building's macroenvironment, but also additionally personal thermal regulation. Radiative cooling technologies are anticipated to effectively lower building energy utilization and provide optimal thermal comfort for individuals in hot weather. Nevertheless, these static and single-purpose characteristics lack the ability to adjust to rapidly changing weather conditions, often leading to excessive cooling. To overcome this challenge, the emergence of dual-mode smart flipping technologies has provided a pathway for dynamically adjusting the heating or cooling of objects in response to fluctuations in ambient temperature. First, the underlying principles of dual-mode smart flipping are shown. Then the evolving materials and approaches of smart flipping are given an introduction to adapt to different environments under external stimuli, such as mechanical flipping, temperature, humidity, and so forth. Afterward, we present the recent applications of dual-mode smart flipping materials and devices in personal thermal management, thermoelectric generation, energy-saving buildings, and smart windows.

However, the practical application of PEO-PSE has been hindered by low ionic conductivity, limited lithium-ion transfer number (<i>t</i><sub>Li+</sub>), and inferior stability with lithium metal. Herein, an ultrathin composite solid-state electrolyte (CSSE) film with a thickness of 20 μm, incorporating uniformly dispersed two-dimensional fluorinated boron nitride (F-BN) nanosheet fillers (F-BN CSSE) is fabricated via a solution-casting process. The integration of F-BN effectively reduces the crystallinity of the PEO polymer matrix, creating additional channels that facilitate lithium-ion transport. Moreover, the presence of F-BN promotes an inorganic phase-dominated electrolyte interface film dominated by LiF, Li<sub>2</sub>O, and Li<sub>3</sub>N on the lithium anode surface, greatly enhancing the stability of the electrode-electrolyte interface. Consequently, the F-BN CSSE exhibits a high ionic conductivity of 0.11 mS cm<sup>−1</sup> at 30°C, high <i>t</i><sub>Li+</sub> of 0.56, and large electrochemical window of 4.78 V, and demonstrates stable lithium plating/striping behavior with a voltage of 20 mV for 640 h, effectively mitigating the formation of lithium dendrites.
