Abstract

Developing energy-free passive daytime radiative cooling (PDRC) coatings has broad application prospects, which is of practical significance to alleviate the issues of energy shortages and global warming. However, conventional thick PDRC coatings suffer from high material consumption, leading to elevated costs and higher thermal resistance, underscoring the need for ultrathin alternatives. Fabricating ultrathin films (
