The application belongs to the technical field of
thermal radiation, and particularly relates to a
radiation heat flow regulating device and application thereof. The
radiation heat flow regulating device comprises at least two oppositely arranged
radiation bodies, each of which comprises a radiation layer; at least one of the radiation bodies comprises a substrate and one or more
organic polymer layers, wherein the
organic polymer layer is arranged between the substrate and the radiation layer to reduce the radiation absorption of materials other than the radiation layer. The radiation spectrum mismatch between the
organic polymer layer and the radiation layer can effectively reduce the
heat energy absorbed by the substrate or other materials to establish an efficient heat radiation channel, which is beneficial to improving the thermal rectification ratio of the thermal
rectifier and improving the output power and
energy conversion efficiency of the thermal photovoltaic device. The radiation
heat flow regulating device is prepared into a heat flow regulating device, such as a
thermal diode, a thermal
triode, a thermal photovoltaic device, a thermal switch, a thermal imager, a thermal
lithography instrument and the like, which can effectively regulate the heat flow.
