Dynamic radiative cooling: A review of materialis for energy-efficient window applications
摘要整理
Radiative cooling materials have received enormous attention for their ability to cool below ambient temperature without energy consumption. Unlike conventional radiative cooling systems, which can result in excessive cooling during colder months, dynamic radiative cooling materials can dynamically adjust their thermal radiation properties in response to environmental changes, enabling efficient cooling and heating across different seasons. This review summarizes the recent developments in dynamic radiative cooling materials, focusing on their physical mechanisms, including mechanically assisted films, thermochromic materials, temperature-responsive gels, and solvent-assisted systems. Special attention is given to their applications in energy-efficient building windows and fa?ades. The challenges of scaling dynamic radiative cooling technologies for widespread use and their potential for future development are discussed, with recommendations for improving performance, sustainability, and integration into modern building systems.
