Why it matters internationally

The Zhu group is among the most-cited engineered-emissivity groups in China, pushing selective thermal emitters toward scalability — the bridge between laboratory metasurfaces and deployable radiative-cooling materials.

Scope of activity

Quantities: selective thermal emitters (engineered emissivity)
Spectral range: solar + sky-window bands
Methodology: Scalable selective thermal emitters for daytime and all-day radiative cooling (dual-selective emitter, Nature Communications 2024 — Tsinghua-led collaboration with Jia Zhu, NJU, as co-corresponding author); nanophotonics and nanoscale heat transfer.

Application domains: scalable radiative cooling · selective emitters.
