摘要

随着全球变暖和温室效应的加剧，全球制冷需求日益增大，然而传统的制冷方式不仅消耗大量的能源，而且其产生的CO

和臭氧(O

)等温室气体又会导致温室效应的加剧，造成恶性循环。因此，急需发展一种清洁的冷却技术。被动日间辐射冷却已被证实是一种有效的策略，它能以辐射的形式将热量传递到寒冷的外太空，在不消耗能源、不利用其他辅助设备的前提下实现制冷。本文从被动日间辐射冷却技术的原理出发，分析了日间辐射冷却薄膜/涂层材料的设计思路，并归纳了其实现多功能化的研究方向，及其主要的应用领域，最后对辐射冷却技术当前存在的挑战以及未来的发展趋势进行了展望。

Abstract

With the intensification of global warming and the greenhouse effect

the global demand for refrigeration is increasing day by day. However

the traditional refrigeration method not only consumes a lot of energy

but also produces greenhouse gases such as CO

and ozone (O

)

which will lead to the intensification of the greenhouse effect

resulting in a vicious circle. There is an urgent need to develop a clean cooling technology. Passive daytime radiative cooling has been proven to be an effective strategy to transfer heat in the form of radiation to the cold outer space

and achieve the purpose of cooling without consuming energy or utilizing auxiliary equipment. Based on the principle of passive daytime radiant cooling technology

this paper analyzes the design ideas of daytime radiant cooling films and coatings

and analyzes and expounds the development history and latest research progress of radiant cooling materials. Finally

combined with the current application in building cooling and personal thermal management

the future development direction of this technology is prospected.
