Overview

Randomized trial reveals improved cooling performance in smart window films, suggesting innovation in building energy management.

Key Points

  • This research aims to enhance the performance of smart windows through the integration of fluorinated monomers for energy efficiency.
  • Fluorinated monomers were incorporated into the polymer matrix of polymer-dispersed liquid crystal (PDLC) devices.
  • The phase separation process was optimized and surface free energy was reduced to improve liquid crystal molecule mobility.
  • Performance was assessed under solar irradiance conditions.
  • The threshold and saturation voltages dropped to one-third of the control group values (specific voltages not provided).
  • Mid-infrared emissivity of the films exceeded 0.9, allowing passive cooling capabilities without energy input.
  • Under 500 W/m² solar irradiance, the films achieved a cooling performance of 1.5 °C.
