I will qualify my "No" having re-viewed the video. While it does eventually get to the 'reverse greenhouse effect at ?t=303 after an interesting animation, at ?t=606 there is a paper on infusing silk with aluminum oxide and tetrabutyl titanate that acts in the UV range. And shows a 10 degree advantage over cotton. Surprising to me since UV is only 3 to 5% of the total

Some of our clients used the desiccant technology, at a terrific energy penalty compared to refrigerated air.
It's kinda like that gas-fired, 500-degree F heat required to regenerate the activated charcoal used to remove VOCs from water at the waste treatment facility.
