Passive daytime radiative cooling (PDRC) is a sustainable technology that reduces temperature by utilizing materials with high solar reflectance and thermal emittance to provide without electricity. However, its performance often compromised dust environmental contamination, even minimal deposition (0.1 mg/cm2) reducing capacity ∼7.1 W/m2. To overcome this, superhydrophobicity has been integrated into PDRC systems through various techniques materials. This Review explores superhydrophobic (SH-PDRC) systems, examining their principles, preparation strategies, material innovations. Advanced fabrication methods, including electrohydrodynamics, phase separation, chemical vapor deposition, layered patterns, have enabled the development of hierarchical structures optimize reflectance, infrared emissivity, water repellency. A variety polymeric, inorganic, hybrid used achieve durability, stability, resilience. These are tailored enhance for long-term use in extreme conditions, ensuring efficiency. SH-PDRC potential applications wearable textiles, agricultural greenhouses, food preservation, demonstrating versatility. By summarizing recent progress challenges, this aims researchers clear guidelines fabricating advanced enhanced performance, efficiency, paving way designing future cooling.
