Metal-free compositions for solar-reflective infrared-emissive coatings and methods of producing the same. The paints are suitable for reducing the temperatures of objects below ambient temperatures between sunset and sunrise (nighttime) and part or full daytime (between sunrise and sunset) when such objects are subjected to direct sunlight. Such a solar-reflective infrared-emissive paint may include a particle-polymer composite containing particles in a polymeric matrix, wherein the particles are nanoparticles or microparticles, the paint does not contain a metallic component, and the paint exhibits high reflectance for the solar spectrum wavelengths of 0.3 to 3 micrometers and high emissivity for wavelengths of 8 to 13 micrometers.

A composition comprises a solar-reflective pigment that reflects sunlight (including but not limited to infrared light, visible light, and/or ultraviolet light), thereby retarding the heat accumulation from direct exposure to sunlight. The composition further comprises a thermochromic pigment that changes color at a predefined temperature, thereby providing a visible indication of changing temperature. When the predefined temperature is set to a threshold temperature that is dangerously hot to the touch, the visible indication serves as a warning, thereby reducing the possibility of burns or other injuries.

A method of producing efficiently and stably core-shell type oxide particles, wherein the entire surface of the core oxide particles is uniformly coated with the shell oxide, includes at least two steps of: Step 1 of precipitating the core oxide particles in a mixed fluid prepared by mixing an oxide raw material liquid for core and an oxide precipitation solvent and Step 2 of coating the entire surface of the core oxide particles uniformly with the shell oxide by mixing the mixed fluid and an oxide raw material liquid for shell.
