| Description: |
Realizing efficient energy utilization from the heat source of the sun and the cold source of outer space is of great significance for addressing the global energy and environmental crisis. Materials with ideal full‐spectrum solar absorption and infrared emission are highly desirable for adapting to the continuous weather dynamic throughout the day, nonetheless, their development remains challenging. Here, a polymer nanocomposite with full‐spectrum strong solar (280–2500 nm) absorption ranging from 88.8% to 94.8% with an average value of 93.2% and full‐spectrum high infrared (8–13 µm) emission ranging from 81.3% to 90.0% with an average value of 84.2%, is reported by melt‐processing polypropylene and uniformly dispersed low‐loading MXene nanosheets (1.9 vol%). The nanocomposite can achieve daytime photothermal enhancement of ≈50 °C and nighttime radiative cooling of 8 °C. The temperature difference throughout the day ensures all‐day uninterrupted thermoelectric generation, yielding a power density output of 1.5 W m −2 (daytime) and 7.9 mW m −2 (nighttime) in real outdoor environment without any additional energy consumption. This work provides an impressive polymer nanocomposite with ideal full‐spectrum solar absorption and infrared emission for all‐day uninterrupted thermal energy management and conversion. |
