Abstract

Radiative cooling to subambient temperatures can be efficiently achieved through spectrally selective emission, which until now has only been realized by using complex nanoengineered structures. Here, a simple dip-coated planar polymer emitter derived from polysilazane, which exhibits strong selective emissivity in the atmospheric transparency window of 8–13 μm, is demonstrated. The 5 μm thin silicon oxycarbonitride coating has an emissivity of 0.86 in this spectral range because of alignment of the frequencies of bond vibrations arising from the polymer. Furthermore, atmospheric heat absorption is suppressed due to its low emissivity outside the atmospheric transparency window. The reported structure with the highly transparent polymer and underlying silver mirror reflects 97% of the incoming solar irradiation. A temperature reduction of 6.8 °C below ambient temperature was achieved by the structure under direct sunlight, yielding a cooling power of 93.7 W m–2. The structural simplicity, durability, easy applicability, and high selectivity make polysilazane a unique emitter for efficient prospective passive daytime radiative cooling structures.
