Abstract:In recent years, global warming has been increasing, while conventional cooling devices remain inefficient and can emit greenhouse gases. The research and development of passive daytime radiative cooling (PDRC) are of utmost importance. Herein, a novel technique called water‐assisted thermally induced phase separation (WA‐TIPS) is employed to prepare thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) foams with a hierarchical micro/nanostructure. By adding 2 mL of deionized water, the TPU foam achieves a solar reflectance of u… Show more
