Synergizing radiative cooling and solar power generation

In a recent issue of Cell Reports Physical Science, Zhu and colleagues unveil a system that remarkably achieves simultaneous daytime radiative cooling and photovoltaic (PV) power generation within the same spatial footprint, establishing a new strategy to unlock the full potential of both renewable energy sources.

Simultaneous subambient daytime radiative cooling and photovoltaic power generation from the same areaGhosh et al.Cell Reports Physical ScienceMarch 13, 2024In BriefGhosh et al. report a demonstration of simultaneous subambient radiative cooling and photovoltaic power generation under peak sunlight from the same area. This work presents the opportunity to both save energy with cooling and harvest the sun as a renewable resource, at a level exceeding using either technology alone. Full-Text PDF Open Access
