Scalable Flexible Hybrid Membranes with Photonic Structures for Daytime Radiative Cooling
Indexed incrossref
Abstract
Abstract Passive radiative cooling technology can cool down an object by reflecting solar light and radiating heat simultaneously. However, photonic radiators generally require stringent and nanoscale‐precision fabrication, which greatly restricts mass production and renders them less attractive for large‐area applications. A simple, inexpensive, and scalable electrospinning method is demonstrated for fabricating a high‐performance flexible hybrid membrane radiator (FHMR) that consists of polyvinylidene fluoride/tetraethyl orthosilicate fibers with numerous nanopores inside and SiO 2 microspheres randomly distributed across its surface. Even without silver back‐coating, a 300 µm thick FHMR has an average…
