Abstract
Silk Radiative Cooling Film In article number 2301924, Dehui Wan, Hsuen-Li Chen, and co-workers develop a transparent silk fibroin film that can be attached to optoelectronic devices, such as smartphones. This film dissipates heat radiatively to cold space through the molecular vibrations of the protein while retaining the function and appearance of the associated devices. The study provides an eco-friendly solution for zero-energy-consumption thermal management of optoelectronic devices.
