Abstract

In the framework of intense research about high-entropy materials and their applications in energy-oriented technologies, in the present work, we discuss the potential applicability of selected oxides and of the alloys they form at different concentrations for daytime radiative cooling implementation. In particular, by combining density functional theory and the finite difference method, we provide an unbiased, scattering-free description of structural, electronic, and dynamic features of the best candidates, showing the required strong radiative properties for passive cooling while offering the benefits of affordability and compatibility with commercial coating fabrication processes.
