Abstract:

In recent years, the increasing energy consumption associated with thermal management has brought visible light transparent radiative cooling materials into focus due to their passive thermal regulation characteristics. Furthermore, their transparent appearance in the visible spectrum meets the demand for visible light in various production and daily life scenarios. Visible light transparent radiative cooling materials have developed into a diverse array of systems, and with dynamically tunable spectral properties significantly enhanced their adaptability to a wide range of application scenarios. This paper firstly introduced the principles of radiative cooling, illustrating the main differences between transparent light radiative cooling materials and traditional ones. It systematically categorized the material systems and regulation methods of transparent radiative cooling materials and further explored their applications in energy-efficient windows, photovoltaic power generation and greenhouse films. Finally, it summarized the challenges currently faced by the study in transparent radiative cooling materials, emphasizing the need to address issues such as multi-band compatible dynamic regulation, multifunctional integration and durability enhancement in future applications. This work provided guidance for the development of novel visible light transparent radiative cooling materials and the expansion of their application scenarios.
