Thiophene‐fused‐heteroaromatic diones as promising NIR reflectors for radiative cooling

Developing appropriate NIR‐reflective materials to combat near–infrared (NIR) heat radiation (700–2500 nm) from sunlight, avoiding energy accumulation and reduce energy consumption, is important and highly desirable. In this research, four thiophene‐fused‐heteroaromatic diones were used as basic ref...
