Abstract
Abstract Passive daytime radiative cooling (PDRC) offers a sustainable route to reducing cooling energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions. However, conventional PDRC materials exhibit limited cooling power (<150 W m −2 ), insufficient for growing cooling demands. While integrating phase change materials enhances cooling capacity, to balance radiative cooling, latent heat, and heat transfer performances remains challenging due to their conflicting requirements. Inspired by the light scattering mechanism of nacre‐pearl systems, hierarchically microstructured radiative‐phase change hybrid cooling (RPHC) composites with a homogeneous morphology are developed via a water pre‐removal strategy. The…
