辐射冷却技术及其与光伏

Abstract Effective heat management is crucial to enhance Photovoltaic (PV) performance and longevity. This review examines advancements in radiative cooling technologies, focusing on thermal coatings, photonic structures, and newly emerging materials with a dramatic improvement in PV efficiency. Compared to previous studies that focuses primarily on laboratory-scale development, this review takes the discussion further in the direction of large-scale feasibility, real-world application, and techno-economic considerations—concerns that are critical but yet to be discussed by previous reviews. It emphasizes optimization techniques enhanced by AI and adaptable cooling materials, offering a wider view on the integration of radiative cooling into next-generation PV systems such as tandem and perovskite solar cells. Furthermore, while most studies analyze individual cooling strategies in isolation, this review offers a comparative examination of various strategies, highlighting both advantages and disadvantages. Critical challenges such as scalability, environmental hardness, and cost-effectiveness—are critically analyzed, filling existing gaps in long-term performance analysis and field deployment strategies. By bridging the gaps between experimental studies and market-deployable implementations, this review is a valuable resource for enabling radiative cooling in renewable energy systems.
