Abstract

The development of daytime passive radiative cooling materials represents a pivotal approach for reducing energy consumption in building cooling and carbon emissions. In a recent issue of Science Advances, Lu et al. reported a scalable supercool cement, which achieves significant radiative cooling through a cleverly designed metasurface structure without relying on external additives or high energy consuming processing. This study presents a scalable pathway for the transformation of traditional cement into a versatile and intelligent energy-efficient building material.
