Transparent Metamaterial Films with Multimodal Radiative Cooling for Outdoor Flexible Electronic Devices
. An alkylation treatment further renders the film superhydrophobicity with a water contact angle of 153.4°, providing self-cleaning capability and environmental durability. This composite film bridges the gap between esthetic needs and functional demands, offering a sustainable, passive thermal management strategy for ensuring the reliability and longevity of flexible outdoor electronic devices, such as wearable sensors, foldable displays, e-skin, and drone components.
