With average global temperatures constantly increasing, the emerging field of passive daytime radiative cooling holds promise to alleviate our growing cooling needs and protect the environment by providing us with electricity-free cooling power. Here, we briefly revise the principles behind this rapidly expanding field, its main material platforms and implementations, and its outstanding challenges in terms of scalability and durability against weathering agents.

Abstract
With average global temperatures constantly increasing, the emerging field of passive daytime radiative cooling holds promise to alleviate our growing cooling needs and protect the environment by providing us with electricity-free cooling power. Here, we briefly revise the principles behind this rapidly expanding field, its main material platforms and implementations, and its outstanding challenges in terms of scalability and durability against weathering agents.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
