Article Abstract
The thermoelectric properties and infrared emissivity of materials may seem unrelated, but both are influenced by electrical conductivity and thermal conductivity. The photothermal effect of SrTiO can establish a connection between the Seebeck coefficient and infrared absorption in the 8-14 μm range. However, there is currently limited research on the relationship between thermoelectric performance and infrared emissivity. In this study, ZnO/SrTiO composites were prepared using a hydrothermal method combined with spark plasma sintering. The intrinsic relationship between the thermoelectric and infrared emission performance of the composites was investigated by varying the ZnO content. As the ZnO content increased, the grain boundary barrier of the samples changed, affecting both electrical and thermal conductivities. The infrared emissivity initially decreased and then increased with increasing ZnO content, which contrasted with the trend observed in electrical conductivity, in accordance with the Hagen-Rubens relationship. The value and infrared emissivity exhibited opposite trends, with the ZnO-5 sample having the highest thermoelectric performance and the lowest infrared emissivity, making it the most representative sample. The relationship between the thermoelectric performance and infrared emissivity of SrTiO is of significant importance for developing multifunctional materials with both thermoelectric and infrared properties.

Colored radiative cooling (CRC) materials provide a sustainable solution to thermal management, mitigating global warming while maintaining aesthetic appeal. Nevertheless, conventional CRC materials exhibit reduced cooling efficiency due to their significant sunlight absorption and degraded optical performance in dusty outdoor environments. Developing self-cleaning CRC materials with high cooling performance and vibrant color remains challenging.

Most research on hyperspectral camouflage focuses on green vegetation, lacking hyperspectral camouflage for complex environments and infrared camouflage. This study prepared a coating using Alizarin Green (AG), Acid Yellow (AY), magnesium‑aluminum layered double hydroxides (MgAl LDHs), and lithium chloride (LiCl). The coating exhibits high color consistency with dark green, medium green, yellow green, and yellow leaves.

Thermal camouflage technologies manipulate heat fluxes to conceal objects from thermographic detection, offering potential solutions for thermal management in high-power-density electronics. Most reported approaches are aimed at scenarios where the target is not a heat source; however, any target with a non-zero temperature emits thermal radiation described by the Stefan-Boltzmann law since the thermal radiation of an object is proportional to the fourth power of its temperature (T). To address this issue, this study proposes a thermal camouflage device that considers the influence of radiative thermal transfer from the target.

Passive daytime radiative cooling (PDRC) technology relies on reflecting solar visible light that carries high energy and radiating surface heat to a low-temperature cold background in the long-wave infrared band, thereby achieving clean energy-saving cooling. However, the irreversibility of high flux heat flow is often present in practical applications, resulting in the inability to maximize the cooling effect produced by radiative cooling. In this study, we developed an integrated radiative cooling (RC) film with high thermal conductivity for efficient cooling (DPHA film) by strategically constructing internal thermal channels within the RC interface.

Structural materials with the capability for passive daytime radiative cooling (PDRC) show promise for the sustainable cooling of buildings. However, developing durable PDRC structural materials with optical robustness, ease of deployment, and scalability remain a challenge for civil engineering applications. We synthesized a metasurface-enhanced cooling cement using a universal, scalable pressure-driven fabrication strategy during a low-carbon production process.
