  • Patent number: 11703290
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a technique of cooling a temperature on the surface or under a material by emitting heat under a radiative cooling device to the outside while minimizing the absorption of light in a solar spectrum by forming a paint coating layer with excellent radiative cooling performance on various surfaces. A radiative cooling device according to an embodiment of the present invention may include a paint coating layer formed by coating or dyeing on various surfaces a paint solution mixed with nano or microparticles of which a particle size and a composition are determined in consideration of infrared emissivity and reflectance to incident sunlight in a wavelength range corresponding to a sky window and a binder mechanically connecting the surfaces of the nano or microparticles in a solvent.

  • Patent number: 11639832
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a technical idea of reducing the surface temperature of a material or temperature under a material by emitting heat under a device to the outside by absorbing and emitting long-wavelength infrared light corresponding to the wavelength range of the atmospheric window while minimizing absorption of light of the solar spectrum. More particularly, the present disclosure relates to a technology for providing a radiative cooling device having a multilayer structure that is capable of increasing sunlight reflection through differences in the refractive indexes of the device-forming materials while performing selective emission over the wavelength range of the atmospheric window using a radiative cooling device having a multilayer structure composed of polymers and inorganic materials.
