Table 2. Experimental design.

Step Process Parameters/items/instruction
1 Silicon wafers cut by diamond wire Purchased from Trina Solar Co
2 Ag nanoparticles deposition Samples were immersed in the AgNO3 (0.02 mol L−1)/HF (4 mol L−1) solution for 10 s
3 Nanopores etching Samples were immersed in the HF (5.4 mol L−1)/H2O2 (3.5 mol L−1) solution for 1 min
4 Rounding treatment Samples were immersed in the KOH (0.04 mol L−1)/NaF (0.16 mol L−1)/isopropyl alcohol (IPA, 5 vol%) solution for rounding treatment for 5–40 min at 35 °C
5 Mark filled Samples were coated with a mixed solution of IPA + ethylene glycol monophenyl ether (KL-EPH)
6 Hydrophilic treatment A mixed solution of NH3 H2O (15 vol%)/H2O2 (15 vol%)/H2O was used for hydrophilic treatment for 0–10 min
7 Performance measurement Radiative cooling performance (outdoor, clear night, 23 ± 1 °C, RH 75% ± 5%) and water contact performance (sliding angle and contact angle) were measured
8 AWH measurement AWH measurement was carried out outdoors on a wind-free sunny day. (0–24 h, 25 ± 2 °C, RH 75% ± 5%, wind speeds 0.4 ± 0.1 m s−1, dew points 17 ± 1 °C)
