摘要

The growing global demand for energy for temperature regulation underscores the urgency of developing advanced personal thermal management textiles. However, current radiative cooling/heating materials often lack dynamic adaptability, efficient moisture management, diverse coloration, and satisfactory wearing comfort. Herein, we present colorful Janus metafabrics (CJMs) engineered via scalable solution-dyeing electrospinning, featuring a dual-gradient structure for radiative cooling and solar heating, and directional sweat transport. The metafabric consists of a hydrophobic carbon black/polyurethane (CB/PU) heating layer and a superhydrophilic aluminum oxide (Al2O3)/pigment-doped PU cooling layer. The cooling side exhibits approximately 95% MIR emittance, > 85% NIR reflectance, and 86% solar reflectance (yellow) due to synergistic Al2O3 scattering and dyeing (67%–86%), compensating for the limitations of conventional dyes. The heating side achieves around 95% solar absorptance for efficient photothermal conversion. Outdoor tests demonstrate significant cooling ΔT = 17.6 °C and heating ΔT = 13.3 °C effects compared to bare simulated skin. Asymmetric wrinkles enhance optical properties and facilitate rapid directional moisture transport, with a one-way transfer index reaching 1163%. CJMs are ultralight, flexible (153%–175% strain), soft, and feature Janus textures, ensuring wearing comfort. This work provides a versatile design integrating energy efficiency, physiological comfort, and aesthetic diversity, offering a promising pathway toward next-generation smart textiles.
