Abstract The ongoing advancements and growing adoption of infrared detection technology have spurred a tremendous amount of interest in thermal camouflage technology. Various approaches are employed to develop infrared camouflage materials capable of manipulating emissivity or surface temperature. However, the range of thermal radiation regulation implemented by these materials is still somewhat limited. In this paper, a combined emissivity and temperature regulation strategy that integrates a thermoelectric device (TED) and a thermochromic structure is proposed. By utilizing this strategy, it becomes possible to simultaneously control the surface temperature and the emissivity without needing additional complex excitation. As a concept demonstration, large tunabilities of 0.38 for long‐wave infrared (8–14 µm) emittance and 87 °C for surface temperature are observed, resulting in a prominent tunability of the thermal radiation temperature that is 15.4 °C greater than that of a conventional TED with constant emissivity. This work aims to introduce a new design paradigm for future thermal radiation management and camouflage techniques.
