Overview

Randomized trial demonstrates enhanced cooling performance in radiative cooling materials, suggesting a cost-effective solution for energy efficiency.

Key Points

This research aims to develop a low-cost and environmentally friendly radiative cooling membrane by combining PTFE, CaF2, and TiO2.
Developed PTFE/CaF2/TiO2-PVDF composite porous membrane via wet non-solvent induced phase separation (NIPS)
Employed low-temperature plasma modification for PTFE dispersibility
Achieved 91.8% solvent recovery with a DMF-based system and gradient recycling process.
Achieved peak cooling performance with a sub-ambient temperature drop of 8.0°C under 1350 W m−2 solar irradiance (75% improvement over pure PVDF)
Maintained high infrared emissivity (peak emissivity of 0.967) and optimal reflectance (99.7% in 0.4–2.5 μm)
Raw material cost reduced by approximately 28%.
