Abstract: Maintaining thermal comfort is of essential significance for human normal life, but traditional heating, ventilation, and air conditioning systems are inefficient and produce large carbon footprint. Personal thermal management materials based on infrared radiation regulation provide new ways to mitigate the pressing burden of energy crisis and keep thermal comfort of humankind, which harnesses thermal management of human body and local microenvironment for personalized temperature control. Here, the latest progress on personal thermal management materials with engineered infrared radiation properties are reviewed. The regulation principles of radiative cooling and radiative heating are elucidated from both indoor and outdoor scenarios, and the bidirectional temperature regulation mode of radiative cooling/heating is discussed. The design ideas, fabrication, microstructure and temperature regulation effect of corresponding materials are elaborated, an outlook about development trend is provided as well.
