摘要

With the increasing global energy consumption and cooling demands, traditional active cooling technologies face inefficiency and environmental challenges. Recently published in Science, a team led by Prof. Hai-bo Zhao has proposed and developed a biomass-based photoluminescent aerogel made from DNA and gelatin to address these challenges. This material achieves a solar-weighted reflectance of over 100% (0.4–0.8 μm) and provides a cooling effect of 16.0 °C under sunlight. This sustainable material is repairable, recyclable, and biodegradable, offering significant potential for energy-efficient buildings and wearable cooling devices.
