Here, we presented a hierarchically porous, all-inorganic PDRC coating synthesized from industrial waste glass and alumina microparticles via low-temperature (600 \u00b0C) processing. Rather than serving merely as a cheap substitute, the alkali oxides inherent in waste glass act as natural fluxes, enabling partial melting. Concurrently, the steric hindrance of alumina restricts full densification, spontaneously constructing a highly scattering random photonic network. The optimized composite (50 wt.% waste glass\/50 wt.% alumina) achieves 96% solar reflectance and 95% atmospheric window emittance. Field tests confirmed sub-ambient cooling of ~4.0 \u00b0C (day) and ~4.5 \u00b0C (night), yielding a peak net cooling power of 108.1 W\/m2. Accelerated weathering and thermal shock (1000 \u00b0C) tests demonstrated sustained optical stability under extreme environmental stress.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ma19071344","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,3,30]],"date-time":"2026-03-30T09:57:24Z","timestamp":1774864644000},"page":"1344","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Waste Glass-Derived Hierarchically Porous All-Inorganic Coatings for Sustainable Daytime Radiative Cooling"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"19","author":[{"given":"Jiale","family":"Wang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Civil and Engineering, Hebei University of Architecture, Zhangjiakou 075000, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0009-8457-3183","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Haiyang","family":"Chen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Civil and Engineering, Hebei University of Architecture, Zhangjiakou 075000, China"},{"name":"Hebei Key Laboratory of Diagnosis, Reconstruction and Anti-Disaster of Civil Engineering, Zhangjiakou 075000, China"},{"name":"Hebei Collaborative Innovation Center of Green Buildings, Zhangjiakou 075000, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Weisu","family":"Weng","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Civil and Engineering, Hebei University of Architecture, Zhangjiakou 075000, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Wanfei","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Zhangjiakou Aocheng Investment Management Co., Ltd., Zhangjiakou 075000, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Boyu","family":"Qiao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Zhangjiakou Aocheng Investment Management Co., Ltd., Zhangjiakou 075000, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Yu","family":"Xia","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Zhangjiakou Aocheng Investment Management Co., Ltd., Zhangjiakou 075000, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Yufan","family":"Liu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Civil and Engineering, Hebei University of Architecture, Zhangjiakou 075000, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ke","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Civil and Engineering, Hebei University of Architecture, Zhangjiakou 075000, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Mengyuan","family":"Du","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Civil and Engineering, Hebei University of Architecture, Zhangjiakou 075000, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Gaoxiang","family":"Ye","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Civil and Engineering, Hebei University of Architecture, Zhangjiakou 075000, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8156-2440","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jie","family":"Yan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Civil and Engineering, Hebei University of Architecture, Zhangjiakou 075000, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9187-6432","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Bin","family":"Li","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Materials Science and Engineering, University of Science and Technology Beijing, Beijing 100083, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,3,28]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"563","DOI":"10.1515\/nanoph-2023-0678","article-title":"Radiative cooling: Arising from practice and in turn serving practice","volume":"13","author":"Zhang","year":"2024","journal-title":"Nanophotonics"},{"key":"ref_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"nwac208","DOI":"10.1093\/nsr\/nwac208","article-title":"Radiative cooling for passive thermal management towards sustainable carbon neutrality","volume":"10","author":"Liang","year":"2023","journal-title":"Natl.
