Radiative cooling of solar absorbers using a visibly transparent photonic crystal thermal blackbody (2015, background): “On the other hand, in many applications, including solar cells (15) and outdoor structures (16), the utilization of sunlight through absorption is intrinsic for either operational or aesthetic considerations, but the heating associated with sunlight absorption is undesirable.”
Thermal Photonics and Energy Applications (2017, unknown): “The concepts of daytime radiative cooling can also be generalized toward cooling of solar absorbers(50) and solar cells.(51)”
Losses in plasmonics: from mitigating energy dissipation to embracing loss-enabled functionalities (2017, background): “21 Finally, passive radiative cooling can be a powerful mechanism for temperature reduction [175,176], especially in the situations where other heat removal channels are suppressed.”
Radiative sky cooling: fundamental physics, materials, structures, and applications (2017, unknown): “Indeed, bare silicon cells can operate up to 20°C higher than glass-encapsulated modules [18, 19, 22], which has much higher emittance.”
