Expanding the applicability of daytime radiative cooling: Technological developments and limitations

Daytime Radiative Cooling is the most promising zero energy natural cooling technology. It can decrease the temperature of a surface up to 15 C below the ambient one under the summer sun without any energy use. We have explored the possible future developments in a recent article, outcome of a fruitful collaboration between Uni Sydney and UNSW.
Shall we move towards daytime radiative cooling readiness on the market? Ignoring the limitations will not help us much. Power recovery and stabilization call for decoupling of incoming and outgoing radiation at equal wavelengths. In: Expanding the applicability of daytime radiative cooling: Technological developments and limitations by Ulpiani, Ranzi, Feng, Santamouris, we reviewed all existing literature on the topic to present and compare solutions, spark the theoretical debate and usher in a new wave of experimental campaigns.
