Passive radiative cooling (PRC) and passive radiative heating (PRH) have drawn increasing attention as green and sustainable cooling and heating approaches, respectively. Existing material designs for PRC/PRH are usually static and unsuitable for dynamic seasonal and weather changes. Herein, we demonstrate an all-day dual-mode film fabricated by decorating MXene nanosheets on porous poly(vinylidene fluoride) with abundant coral-like hierarchical structures obtained via phase inversion. The cooling side of the dualmode film exhibits high solar reflectivity (96.7%) and high infrared emissivity (96.1%). Consequently, daytime subambient radiative cooling of 9.8 °C is achieved with a theoretical cooling power of 107.5 W/m 2 and nighttime subambient cooling of 11.7 °C is achieved with a theoretical cooling power of 140.7 W/m 2 . Meanwhile, the heating side of the dual-mode film exhibits low infrared emissivity (11.6%) and high solar absorptivity (75.7%), contributing to a PRH capability of 8.1 °C, and excellent active solar and Joule heating as effective compensation for PRH. The dual-mode film could be easily switched between cooling and heating modes by flipping it to adapt to dynamic cooling and heating scenarios, which is important for alleviating the energy crisis and reducing greenhouse emissions.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
