具有彩色辐射冷却装置和量子点发光二极管的智能构建块

In this study, we design a smart building block with quantum-dot light-emitting diode (QLED) and colored radiative cooling devices. A smart light-emitting building block is fabricated using a bottom-inverted QLED that emits green light, an insulating layer, and a top radiative cooling structure that emits mid-infrared light. The heat generated during QLED operation is measured and analyzed to investigate the correlation between heat and QLED degradation. The top cooling part is designed to have no impact on the QLED's performance and utilizes Ag-polydimethylsiloxane as a visible-light reflector and mid-infrared absorber/emitter. For the colored cooling part, white radiative cooling paint is used instead of Ag-polydimethylsiloxane to improve cooling performance, and red and yellow paints are employed to realize vivid red and yellow colors, respectively. We demonstrate a smart imitation house system with a smart light-emitting building block as the roof and analyze the cooling of the heat generated during QLED operation. A maximum cooling effect of up to 9.6 °C is observed compared to the imitation house system without the smart light-emitting building block, effectively dissipating heat generated during QLED operation. The smart light-emitting building block presented in this study opens new avenues in the fields of lighting and cooling systems.
