Nano-Micro Letters, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: 17(1)

Published: Feb. 17, 2025

Abstract Rapid population growth in recent decades has intensified both the global energy crisis and challenges posed by climate change, including warming. Currently, increased frequency of extreme weather events large fluctuations ambient temperature disrupt thermal comfort negatively impact health, driving a growing dependence on cooling heating sources. Consequently, efficient management become central focus research. Traditional systems consume substantial energy, further contributing to greenhouse gas emissions. In contrast, emergent radiant technologies that rely renewable have been proposed as sustainable alternatives. However, achieving year-round without additional input remains formidable challenge. Recently, dynamic radiative emerged most promising solution, offering potential for energy-efficient adaptation across seasonal variations. This review systematically presents advancements management, covering fundamental principles, switching mechanisms, primary materials, application areas. Additionally, key hindering broader adoption are discussed. By highlighting their transformative potential, this provides insights into design industrial scalability these innovations, with ultimate aim promoting integration applications.

Inspired by “Trojan Horse” Effect to Construct a Novel Chrome‐Free Tanning Agent—Achieving the Integration of Tanning‐Dyeing and Personal Thermal Management

Advanced Functional Materials, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: unknown

Published: Jan. 7, 2025

Abstract Among human deaths induced by abnormal weather, ≈95% are caused low temperatures. Personal thermal management (PTM) is more energy efficient than traditional central heating. Inspired “Trojan War” and combined with the advantages of natural leather, a novel chrome‐free tanning agent (OMFA) Horse” effect constructed based on ZrOCl 2 ‐assisted oxidation mineral fulvic acid. It innovatively realizes “One Stone Three Birds” integrated strategy tanning, dyeing PTM leather preparation. OMFA, just like Trojan horse, brings Zr 4+ into all hierarchy leather; as result, OMFA firmly fixed in collagen fibers chemical cross‐linking. The shrinking temperature resultant reaches 82.7 °C color difference less 0.2, showcasing good hydrothermal stability fastness. Moreover, solar absorption rate tanned 78.3%. In outdoor test, surface higher 20.9 3.4 ambient at noon evening, respectively. This study first time to confer properties onto means tanning. work expected replace chrome agent, reduce dye wastewater discharge, realize clean utilization.
