RESUMO
Passive radiant cooling is a potentially sustainable thermal management strategy amid escalating global climate change. However, petrochemical-derived cooling materials often face efficiency challenges owing to the absorption of sunlight. We present an intrinsic photoluminescent biomass aerogel, which has a visible light reflectance exceeding 100%, that yields a large cooling effect. We discovered that DNA and gelatin aggregation into an ordered layered aerogel achieves a solar-weighted reflectance of 104.0% in visible light regions through fluorescence and phosphorescence. The cooling effect can reduce ambient temperatures by 16.0°C under high solar irradiance. In addition, the aerogel, efficiently produced at scale through water-welding, displays high reparability, recyclability, and biodegradability, completing an environmentally conscious life cycle. This biomass photoluminescence material is another tool for designing next-generation sustainable cooling materials.
RESUMO
OBJECTIVE: To study the optimum preparation process of the volatile oil of Dalbergia odorifera-beta-cyclodextrin. METHODS: The saturated water solution mixing method was compared with microwave method and ultrasonic method by determining the ultilization ratio of the volatile oil in Dalbergia odorifera. The optimum preparation conditions were investigated by the orthogonal design. The quality of the volatile oil before and after included were analyzed by TLC. RESULTS: The optimum preparation conditions for inclusion were as follows: m(volatile oil of Dalbergia odorifera): m (beta-CD) = 1:10 (g/g), ultrasonic time was 1h, the temperature was 70 degrees C. The ultilization ratio of the volatile oil was 82.02%. CONCLUSION: Ultrasonic method is the best method.
