Abstract

Increasingly frequent and severe heat waves pose a significant threat to human health, intensifying the demand for cooling solutions. Conventional air conditioning offers reliefbut escalates energy consumption and CO2 emissions, exacerbating global warming. Here, a passive daytime cooling composite made from kitchen-sourced materials, providing a zero-energy cooling technology accessible to everyone, is introduced. Composed ofstarch and finely ground eggshell powder, this eco-friendly composite demonstrates an average solar reflectance of0.91 and thermal emissivity of0.95. Applied to concrete, it achieves a temperature reduction ofapproximately 15 °C compared to uncoated concrete under 800 Wm−2 solar irradiation. With universally accessible ingredients and a simple fabrication process, this cooling composite provides a viable solution for households with limited infrastructure to tackle the growing threat ofheat waves.
