  The "cooling phone case developed by Wuhan University" is a trending topic on Weibo and has generated a number of related news reports. Some enterprises that deal in the areas of thermoelectricity or photovoltaic energy recently visited Wuhan Runde Engineering Technology Co., Ltd. behind the phone case seeking cooperation.

  The company has been doing research in thermodynamics with a group led by Wuhan University professor Hu Xuejiao. Together with the OPPO thermal lab, they employed a passive hydrogel film cooling technology to develop a cooling phone case. They explained: "As the phone gets hotter, its heat is dissipated by the evaporation of water. Because the hydrogel film automatically absorbs water from the air, this cycle continues indefinitely. It is the theoretical equivalent to how the human body cools down through sweating."
  该公司以武汉大学教授胡雪蛟为带头人,专注于研究各种“降温”难题。散热手机壳由该团队和OPPO热实验室联合开发,使用被动式水凝胶薄膜散热技术。研究团队给予了阐释:“手机发热的时候通过水分蒸发带走热量,散热后水凝胶薄膜自动把水分从空气中吸回来。基本相当于人体通过出汗实现散热的原理。”
  According to the person in charge, by utilizing nanobionics technology, the company has also developed several products to cool off buildings, photovoltaic panels, and semiconductors. He predicts, "even the clothes we wear could be cooled down with this technology." In the future, its application can be extended to such areas as vehicle energy saving, and exhaust energy conversion and utilization.
  公司负责人介绍,通过运用纳米仿生技术,企业已成功研发出给建筑物、光伏板、半导体降温等数款产品。“甚至我们穿的衣服,也可能实现降温应用。”未来,还可延伸至汽车节能、汽车尾气热能转化利用等领域。
