The Spanish research group IMN-CNM (CSIC) has developed a PVDF-based nanomaterial for passive radiative cooling. In tests in Madrid, the material lowered the temperature by up to 12.9 °C without electricity. The technology is suitable for facades and electronics and could reduce energy consumption for active cooling.
