Overview

Passive cooling technology improves soil temperature and water retention in agriculture, suggesting eco-friendly solutions.

Key Points

  • This research aims to develop a robust and recyclable radiative cooler inspired by spider silk for sustainable agricultural applications.
  • Developed a water-triggered multistage self-assembly technique.
  • Tested solar reflectance and emittance levels.
  • Evaluated cooling performance under direct sunlight.
  • Assessed tensile strength and material recovery through water-triggered reassembly.
  • Achieved solar reflectance of 0.94 and emittance of 0.91.
  • Reduced temperature by an average of 8 °C under sunlight.
  • Demonstrated tensile strength of 76 MPa.
  • Provided over 90% material recovery through reassembly.
  • Lowered soil temperature by 7.2 °C and improved water retention by 61%.
