Conventional floating covers used to reduce evaporation absorb sunlight and warm the underlying water, limiting suppression efficiency to less than the coverage ratio (η <jats:sub> <jats:italic>eff</jats:italic> </jats:sub> /Φ ≤ 1). Here, we break this limit by developing Superhydrophobic Radiative Cooling Covers (SRCC) via multi‐level structural design. SRCC actively cools the water surface by combining high solar reflectance, strong mid‐infrared emission, and superhydrophobicity. Experiments show SRCC lowers water temperature by 2.2°C versus uncovered water, achieving 93.1± 0.1% evaporation suppression at 91% coverage, yielding η <jats:sub> <jats:italic>eff</jats:italic> </jats:sub> /Φ > 1.0 for the first time. Large‑scale simulations for nine Chinese lakes indicate that SRCC reduces water temperature by 4.87°C (vs. no cover) and by 12.44 °C (vs. black covers). This cooling could increase annual freshwater reserves by 10.78 km <jats:sup>3</jats:sup> across China under full deployment, equivalent to 20.9 L per person per day. Unattainable with conventional covers, SRCC uniquely mitigates thermal accumulation while enhancing freshwater storage, providing a quantifiable engineering solution to climate‑driven water stress and enabling adaptive lake ecosystem management across regional and global scales.","PeriodicalId":114,"journal":{"name":"Advanced Materials","volume":"293 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":29.4,"publicationDate":"2026-10-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149172889","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To validate this concept, anisotropic electrolytes with oriented channels are fabricated via directional freeze‐drying. These structures exhibit pronounced directional dependence, with through‐plane ion mobility twice higher than that of the disordered counterparts, leading to significantly enhanced ionic actuator performance and mitigating the inherent trade‐off between strain and blocking force. Moreover, the directional confinement effect is observed across multiple polymer systems, highlighting the critical role of structural anisotropy in regulating ion transport and offering a framework for enhancing electrolyte performance through microstructural design.

The key lies in the unique triple protection mechanism exerted by the biguanide unit: high‐temperature char‐formation for flame retardance, <jats:italic>n</jats:italic> →π* transition absorption for UV‐resistance, and disruption of the negatively charged bacterial surface for antibacteria. As a result, the biguanide‐containing polymer material achieves the best UL‐94 V‐0 flame‐retardant rating with excellent self‐extinguishing properties, ≥99.3% ultra‐high shielding rate for UV light, and ≥99.0% remarkable antibacterial rate. Importantly, the biguanide unit is chemically bonded to the polymer main chain, which not only avoids the health risks and performance degradation caused by the additive migration, but also exhibits outstanding heat resistance, thermal stability, and easy processability. This work simultaneously achieves triple functional integration of polymer materials through a single biguanide unit, realizing previously unattainable multiple safety protections against dangerous fires, harmful UV, and widely‐existed bacteria.","PeriodicalId":114,"journal":{"name":"Advanced Materials","volume":"30 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":29.4,"publicationDate":"2026-10-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149172716","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
