Overview

Randomized trial demonstrates passive radiative cooling in PTFE films, suggesting a scalable approach for sustainable technologies.

Key Points

  • This research aims to develop a sustainable passive radiative cooling technology using recyclable PTFE films.
  • Utilized dry-processing strategy for PTFE fibrillation to create an entangled network.
  • Measured solar reflectance, mid-infrared emissivity, and cooling performance across varying humidity levels.
  • Tested triboelectric nanogenerator performance for energy harvesting from raindrops.
  • Achieved average sub-ambient cooling of 5.5–10.6°C at specific humidity levels.
  • Demonstrated high solar reflectance of 93.3% and mid-infrared emissivity of 91.1%.
  • Showed stable performance after recycling, with peak energy harvesting power density of 89.85 W/m².
