Sustainable Development Goals
Abstract/Objectives
We will develop Saharan silver ants inspired materials and structures performing daytime radiative cooling, spectral optimization, and near-zero energy consumption of cooling techniques. The topics will focus on (A) Bioinspired materials and designs for temperature control with near-zero energy consumption, (B) Spectral optimization and temperature control for solar cells, electronic, optoelectronic, sensing, and telecommunications devices, and (C) Thermal management and energy harvest in a spherical-marine-robot.
Results/Contributions

There are three sub-projects conducted in this project.

Sub-Project 1: Developing Saharan silver ants inspired materials and structures performing daytime radiative cooling, spectral optimization, and near-zero energy consumption of cooling techniques.

Sub-Project 2: Supporting other Sub-Projects from many aspects of the mechanics of materials and the design of simulation components. We will simulate and predict the spherical-marine-robot material properties to design a product that meets requirements, especially mechanical and optical properties. We first construct a machine-learning platform and study its algorithms to enhance efficiency in executing computational tasks.

Sub-Project 3: Combining silk fibroins and moth eye-inspired structures to develop functional materials performing spectral optimization, daytime radiative cooling, and wide-angle broadband antireflection. By utilizing the bio-inspired, micro-/nano-structured natural materials, we can capture and manipulate the surrounding energy used in energy harvest and thermal management in an a-spherical marine-robot.
