Abstract:Radiative cooling is the passive cooling of a material with the help of a specific spectral response to emit thermal energy into space through atmospheric transparency windows. However, most of the proposed designs have no dynamically tunable emission response. In this paper, we present a feasible inverse pyramid structure made of a phase change material (PCM) on top of a metallic mirror to realize an adaptive radiative cooler with almost angle-independent emission response. The design uses the thermally contr… Show more
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.
