Abstract
AbstractTransparent wood for smart glass can decrease indoor energy consumption, while simultaneously offering a comfortable indoor temperature and facilitating effective light harvesting. However, high transparency and ultraviolet (UV)‐blocking ability are mutually exclusive in wood‐based materials due to the presence of lignin. Herein, a Turing pattern‐inspired highly transparent wood (TP‐TW) is fabricated via infiltrating the thermal management materials doped‐epoxy (TMM‐epoxy) into the delignified wood with a Turing pattern. Afterward, the Turing pattern possesses outstanding optical properties (high visible transmittance of ≈76% and low UV transmittance of ≈15%). Moreover, TP‐TW can reduce adverse effects caused by indoor temperature fluctuation and outdoor sunlight, demonstrating high latent heat (25.30 J g−1) and low near‐infrared transmittance. Compared with glass, TP‐TW exhibits a low thermal conductivity of 0.21 W m−1 K−1 and excellent shock‐resistant characteristics. Taken together, these results indicate that TP‐TW is an attractive material for smart glass applications.
