Passive Daytime Radiative Cooling (PDRC): The nanohybrid approach

A set of new nanohybrid polymeric formulations containing silicon compounds (like T8 silsesquioxanes or SiC nanoparticles) and small organic molecules (like azulene) have been deposited on adhesive aluminium tape, characterized and exposed to the outdoor environment of Casaccia (Rome), monitoring their temperature. Results of the first month of external campaign show that they exhibit PDRC effects.
