Abstract:

Polymer⁃based radiative cooling materials represent a promising technology for passive thermal management, leveraging spectral control to achieve substantial energy savings and multi⁃scenario applicability. This review elucidates the fundamental principles of radiative cooling and expounds on the unique advantages of electrospinning technology for preparing high⁃performance cooling membranes. The critical strategies to optimize cooling efficiency through material choice, nano⁃micro structural design, and membrane architecture was emphasized. Furthermore, the applications of electrospun radiative coolers in smart textiles, personal equipment, and energy⁃efficient buildings were examined. The review concluded by identifying prevailing challenges and prospective research directions for scalable manufacturing, thereby addressing the path toward industrialization.
