In many industries, such as the electric power and distribution sector, energy losses due to poor heat dissipation are a significant challenge. Heat dissipating coatings can be developed by understanding and engineering the interaction of electromagnetic waves with matter which are the key for such technologies that require targeted optical and infrared characteristics. This project explores the potential of atomically thin multilayered materials towards heat dissipation applications; if engineered to specification, these nanoscale-thin coatings will passively cool an object relative to an uncoated one. This project investigates the requirements and application space for such coatings through scientific insights and application demands. Potential first adopters are expected at power utilities, power distribution, and energy efficient buildings.This I-Corps project aims to show how nanostructured, multilayered 2-dimensional materials can be designed to exhibit specific light-matter-interaction properties. The scope extends to permittivity-engineering via a metamaterial approach. Specifically the radiation and reflection spectra are of interest towards emissivity control of a coated object, thus reducing its relative temperature. The study of broadband permittivity data of emerging 2-dimensional materials extends the understanding of photon-electron interaction and radiation profiles. The I-Corps process will increase public scientific literacy in the STEM field through the interview method of potential customers. Thus, partnerships between academia, industry, and start-up ventures are therefore expected to emerge and accelerate the time-to-market as aligned with the Materials Genome Initiative. At a larger scheme, an enhanced efficiency along with a reliability-improved power grid supports both national security and economic competitiveness of the United States.

在许多行业中，例如电力和配电行业，由于散热不良而导致的能量损失是一个重大挑战。散热涂层可以通过理解和设计电磁波与物质的相互作用来开发，这是需要有针对性的光学和红外特性的技术的关键。该项目探索了原子级薄的多层材料在散热应用中的潜力;如果设计符合规格，这些纳米级薄涂层将相对于未涂覆的物体被动冷却物体。该项目通过科学见解和应用需求调查此类涂料的要求和应用空间。潜在的第一个采用者预计在电力公司，配电，节能建筑。这个I-Corps项目的目的是显示如何纳米结构，多层二维材料可以设计表现出特定的光-物质相互作用的属性。范围延伸到通过超材料方法的连续性工程。具体地，辐射和反射光谱对于涂覆物体的发射率控制是有意义的，从而降低其相对温度。新兴的二维材料的宽带介电常数数据的研究扩展了对光子-电子相互作用和辐射分布的理解。I-Corps过程将通过潜在客户的访谈方法提高STEM领域的公众科学素养。因此，学术界，工业界和初创企业之间的伙伴关系，因此预计将出现和加速上市时间与材料基因组计划一致。在更大的计划中，提高效率沿着可靠性提高的电网支持美国的国家安全和经济竞争力。
