The passive radiative cooling approach refers to the physical process that pumps heat into outer space via the atmospheric window (8–13 μm) without energy input. The ability to continuously adjust the emissivity of thermal emitters in the sky window while maintaining high reflectivity in the solar spectrum remains a challenge. In order to achieve this task, a novel design referred to as double-layer nanoparticle-based coating is proposed. Our proposed emitter is appropriate for both high solar reflection and strong mid-infrared emissivity. The bottom and top layers are Al2O3 embedded with Ni nanoparticles and a super-hydrophilic TiO2-SiO2 layer. The bottom layer is designed to achieve high emissivity in “the atmospheric transparency window”. The top layer is designed to block solar illumination and to favor an enhanced cleanability of the coated design. Our double-layer coating as an optical solar reflector has excellent solar irradiation ( and is strongly emissive (0.97) across the “full sky window” at room temperature. Furthermore, a detailed numerical energy study has been performed, evaluating the temperature reduction and the radiative cooling performance under different conditions. The proposed simple coating can be used as an efficient radiative cooler on a large scale for energy conservation and thermoelectric devices.

In mass manufacturing of optical fibers, the wet-on-wet polymer resin coating is an efficient process for applying double layer coatings on the glass fiber. This paper presents an analytic study on the behavior of non-Newtonian polymer resins in the double layer coating liquid flow inside a secondary coating die of the optical fiber coating applicator. Based the approximations of fully developed laminar flow and the power law model of non-Newtonian fluid, the coating liquid flow of two immiscible resin layers is modeled for the simplified geometry of capillary annulus, where the surface of glass fiber moves at high fiber drawing speed. The effects of important parameters such as non-Newtonian fluid properties, the coating die size, and fiber drawing speed are investigated on the resin velocity profiles and secondary coating layer thickness.
