摘要

Abstract

Night-time warming is vital for human production and daily life. Conventional methods like active heaters are energy-intensive

while passive insulating films possess restrictions regarding space consumption and the lack of heat gain. In this work

a nanophotonic-based night-time warming strategy that passively inhibits thermal radiation of objects while actively harnessing that of atmosphere is proposed. By using a photonic-engineered thin film that exhibits high reflectivity (~0.91) in the atmospheric transparent band (8–14 μm) and high absorptivity (~0.7) in the atmospheric radiative band (5–8 and 14–16 μm)

temperature rise of 2.1 ℃/4.4 ℃ compared to typical low-e film and broadband absorber is achieved. Moreover

net heat loss as low as 9 W m

−2

is experimentally observed

compared to 16 and 39 W m

−2

for low-e film and broadband absorber

respectively. This strategy suggests an innovative way for sustainable warming

thus contributes to addressing the challenges of climate change and promoting global carbon neutrality.
