摘要

Abstract

Passive daytime radiative cooling (PDRC) is an innovative and sustainable cooling technology that holds immense potential for addressing the energy crisis. Despite the numerous reports on radiative coolers

the design of a straightforward

efficient

and readily producible system remains a challenge. Herein

we present the development of a hierarchical aligned porous poly(vinylidene fluoride) (HAP-PVDF) film through a freeze-thaw-promoted nonsolvent-induced phase separation strategy. This film features oriented microporous arrays in conjunction with random nanopores

enabling efficient radiative cooling performance under direct sunlight conditions. The incorporation of both micro- and nano-pores in the HAP-PVDF film results in a remarkable solar reflectance of 97% and a sufficiently high infrared thermal emissivity of 96%

facilitating sub-environmental cooling at 18.3 °C on sunny days and 13.1 °C on cloudy days. Additionally

the HAP-PVDF film also exhibits exceptional flexibility and hydrophobicity. Theoretical calculations further confirm a radiative cooling power of 94.8 W·m

−2

under a solar intensity of 1000 W·m

demonstrating a performance comparable to the majority of reported radiative coolers.
