Inspired by the hierarchical structure of taro leaves, we developed a cellulose nanofibers (CNFs)-based multifunctional aerogel through pickering emulsion templating and freeze-drying strategies. The composite aerogel features a precisely engineered multiphase scattering architecture comprising polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS), CNFs, and nano-silica (nano-SiO<sub>2</sub>).

The synergistic combination of PDMS’s low surface energy and nano-SiO<sub>2</sub>-induced nanoscale roughness achieved exceptional super-hydrophobicity (water contact angle: 153.8°). The optimized aerogel emitter demonstrated outstanding photonic performance with 93.5 % solar reflectance and 98.5 % infrared emissivity, enabling a sub-ambient temperature drop of 7.51 °C under peak solar irradiance. Remarkably, the material maintained 95 % of initial cooling efficiency after 30 hours UV exposure (60 mW·cm<sup>-</sup>²), attributable to the UV-blocking nano-SiO<sub>2</sub>/PDMS matrix and stable scattering networks.
