Passive radiative cooling for vertical building facades: From fundamental constraints to practical strategies

Rising space-cooling demand driven by urbanisation and climate change has increased interest in passive alternatives to air conditioning. Passive radiative cooling (PRC) dissipates heat through the atmospheric window (8–13 μm) without energy input. However, research has largely f...

From materials design to real-world performance in passive radiative cooling paints

Abstract Global warming arises from the net accumulation of solar energy within the Earth–atmosphere system. Passive radiative cooling paints (PRCPs) offer a scalable approach to mitigate this imbalance by reflecting solar radiation and emitting heat to outer space, thereby reduc...
