Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of thermal insulation materials technology, specifically relating to a thin-layer building energy-saving thermal insulation material based on fractal structure composite fibers and its preparation method. Background Technology
[0002] With the increasing emphasis on sustainable development in modern society, solar energy, as an infinitely available and free energy source, is finding increasingly widespread applications in energy and environmental protection. Reports indicate that high-altitude regions are rich in solar energy resources, with over 500 hours of sunshine per day in winter. However, winter temperatures are very low, with average outdoor temperatures reaching around -30°C. Since sunlight alone is insufficient to heat an entire building, applying a fractal-structured thin-layer insulation material to the surface of building materials, allowing direct sunlight to heat the material rapidly, can effectively block heat transfer between the interior and exterior. This presents a very promising method for thermal insulation.
[0003] Sunlight can directly shine through windows, but this energy is far from sufficient to meet the heating and insulation needs of the entire interior. In fact, windows are the main channels for heat exchange between indoors and outdoors. Currently, methods such as increasing the fold depth of curtains, using thicker and longer curtains, and using curtains with dense weaves are generally used to slow down heat loss, but these cannot truly achieve the purpose of heat insulation. In addition, theoretically, light-absorbing insulation materials could be attached to the surface of building materials such as windows. After being exposed to sunlight, the surface temperature would be higher than the indoor temperature, thus completely blocking heat conduction from the inside to the outside and achieving the purpose of heat insulation. However, existing light-absorbing insulation materials are mostly aluminum silicate composite insulation coatings, expanded vitrified microspheres, phenolic foam, etc., which affect light and air transmission between indoors and outdoors. Therefore, developing thin-layer energy-saving building insulation materials that allow light and air to pass through would be a highly efficient method of heat insulation. Summary of the Invention
[0004] To address the aforementioned technical problems, the present invention aims to provide a thin-layer building energy-saving insulation material based on fractal structure composite fibers and its preparation method. By utilizing the fractal structure insulation material to enhance the absorption of sunlight, the thin layer on the surface of the building material can be rapidly heated, blocking heat conduction between the interior and exterior, thereby achieving the purpose of building interior heat insulation.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a method for preparing a thin-layer building energy-saving and thermal insulation material based on fractal structure composite fibers, characterized in that it is prepared by the following method: depositing fractal structure metal material on a mesh substrate or fabric substrate, and then loading a CuO light-absorbing material layer on the surface of the fractal structure metal material to obtain the thin-layer building energy-saving and thermal insulation material based on fractal structure composite fibers.
[0006] In the above scheme: the mesh substrate is one of the following: copper mesh, titanium mesh, aluminum mesh, zinc mesh, nickel mesh, iron wire mesh, stainless steel mesh, carbon fiber mesh, etc., with a mesh count of 10-5000 mesh and an aperture of 1μm-1000μm.
[0007] In the above scheme: the woven substrate can be carbon fiber cloth, or other woven substrates.
[0008] In the above scheme, the method for depositing fractal structure metal materials is to use a mesh or fabric substrate as the cathode, place it in an electrolytic cell containing an aqueous solution of metal ions, and deposit the fractal structure metal material through electrolysis. The concentration of the aqueous solution containing metal ions is 0.01 mol / L-10 mol / L, and the pH value is 0.1-10.
[0009] In the above scheme, the metal ions in the aqueous solution containing metal ions are one of the following: silver, manganese, copper, zinc, nickel, titanium, cobalt, and vanadium ions.
[0010] In the above scheme: the current density during electrolytic deposition is 1 mA / cm². 2 ~10A / cm 2 The temperature ranges from 5 to 90℃.
[0011] In the above scheme, the height of the fractal structure metal material can be 1μm-10mm. Figure 1 The length of the branches of the fractal structure in the metallic material.
[0012] In the above scheme, the thickness of the CuO light-absorbing material layer loaded on the surface of the fractal structure metal material is 10nm-100μm.
[0013] A method for preparing a thin-layer building energy-saving insulation material based on fractal structure composite fibers yields a thin-layer building energy-saving insulation material.
[0014] This invention first forms a layer of fractal structured metallic material on a mesh or fabric substrate, and then loads CuO light-absorbing material. This increases the surface area of the mesh or fabric substrate, improving the loading capacity of the CuO light-absorbing material. Furthermore, the surface of the fractal structured metallic material, electrolytically deposited on the surface of the mesh or fabric substrate, is no longer planar after loading with CuO light-absorbing material (although planar CuO light-absorbing material can absorb some sunlight, most of it is reflected, failing to achieve good heat insulation). Sunlight, upon reaching the surface, enters the interior of the fractal structure, reducing reflection and achieving efficient heat insulation. This material is also light- and air-permeable. Simultaneously, attaching this insulation material to the surface of building materials utilizes its rapid heating characteristic under sunlight, altering the spatial distribution of the temperature gradient from the interior to the exterior of the building. This blocks heat conduction between the interior and exterior, achieving heat insulation, energy saving, and reduced consumption. The fractal structure insulation curtain prepared by this invention has advantages such as good insulation effect and simple preparation method, which is beneficial for improving the utilization rate of sunlight in high-altitude areas during winter.
