The development of scalable high-quality radiative cooling materials can
effectively address overheating issues without energy consumption. While
some progress has been made, significant challenges remain in a narrow
application range, low cooling power, and poor mechanical properties, which
fail to meet requirements for sustainable use. Here, inspired by the special
structure of white moth wings and spider silk, a flexible, strong, and tough
high-efficiency radiation cooling metafabric (STRCM) is demonstrated with a
unique fiber microstructure (including anisotropy and core–shell structure).
The metafabric exhibits remarkable mechanical characteristics, boasting an
effective tensile strength of 2.55 MPa, and exceptional toughness with an
elongation at break of 726.94% and an impact energy absorption of 31
MJ m?3. More importantly, the metafabric demonstrates excellent radiative
cooling with a temperature drop of ≈6.7 °C and an average cooling power of
79.0 W m?2 under a peak solar intensity of ≈978 W m?2 (tested in Beijing,
China). During a long-term intermittent testing period, the cooling effect of
the material shows no noticeable decline. The multi-level structural design of
this work provides an unprecedented strategy for simultaneously enhancing
mechanical properties and radiative cooling for long-term applications.
