Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to a multifunctional radiation refrigeration material and application thereof, belonging to the field of materials. Background Art

[0002] Greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide and methane block the Earth's radiation into outer space, causing the Earth's surface temperature to rise. This temperature increase creates a vicious cycle, further exacerbating global warming. As a result, building energy consumption, especially energy used for cooling in summer, can account for 50% or more of total energy consumption.

[0003] Atmospheric windows are wavelengths with high transmittance, where electromagnetic waves are less likely to be reflected, absorbed, or scattered through the atmosphere. These wavelengths include 0.3-2.5 μm, 3.2-4.8 μm, and 8-13 μm. Radiative cooling involves an object radiating its own heat through these atmospheric windows (primarily the 8-13 μm wavelength band) into space, where the temperature is near absolute zero (-273°C), thereby lowering its surface temperature.

[0004] Existing radiative cooling technologies primarily use organic emulsions / organic substrates combined with inorganic pigments and fillers to create paints / coatings / materials with high solar reflectivity and atmospheric window infrared emissivity. However, paints / fabrics made with organic emulsions / organic substrates often suffer from unfavorable properties such as low oxygen combustion index and supportive combustion, making them unsafe during use. To address this issue, researchers have explored the research and development of various materials.

[0005] Reference 1 discloses a radiation cooling film tape and a preparation method thereof, wherein the radiation cooling film tape comprises a mixed layer of optical adhesive and inorganic particles (also called an optical adhesive coating), a reflective layer, a film substrate, a flame retardant layer, an adhesive layer, and a release layer. Due to the presence of inorganic particles, when there is a fire in the use scenario, a small amount of molten liquid in the outermost optical adhesive layer forms a mixture with the inorganic particles. The inorganic particles are silicate inorganic substances with a melting point of more than a thousand degrees, which will have a certain barrier effect on the continued combustion. At the same time, combined with the effect of the flame retardant in the flame retardant layer, a film with good flame retardant effect is formed as a whole. However, the flame retardant used in the film is a halogen-based flame retardant, which emits toxic smoke and gas while being flame retardant, which will have an adverse effect on the environment, so its application prospects are limited.

[0006] Reference 2 discloses a chitosan (CS)-based fire-resistant radiation cooling aerogel film, in which melamine and phytic acid extracted from plant seeds are added to the film, wherein the phosphate groups in the phytic acid interact with the protonated amino groups of the melamine to form a cross-linked structure (MA / PA complex). The results show that the addition of 10wt%, 20wt% and 30wt% MA / PA complex makes the overall solar reflectivity of the CS-based composite aerogel film reach 72.3%, 81.0% and 89.3%, respectively. Although the composite aerogel can isolate a 500°C fire and exhibit excellent fire safety, the solar reflectivity of the composite aerogel film is only 89.3%, and the infrared emissivity is only 90.4%. It can be seen that it is often difficult to achieve an excellent radiation cooling effect while performing flame retardant modification on the substrate.

[0007] It can be seen that although technicians have conducted certain research on materials that have both good flame retardancy and radiant cooling properties, the effect cannot be said to be sufficient and there is room for further improvement.

[0040] In this specification, the numerical range expressed using "a numerical value A to a numerical value B" means a range including the endpoints A and B.

[0041] <First Aspect>

[0042] The first aspect of the present invention mainly provides a multifunctional radiation cooling material, which is used to release heat into space through the atmospheric window in the form of infrared radiation, while reflecting ultraviolet light and / or visible light and / or near-infrared light in sunlight. The radiation cooling material includes a base material and a flame retardant material; wherein the flame retardant material includes one or more of a phosphorus-based material, a nitrogen-based material, and a phosphorus-nitrogen-based composite material. The multifunctional radiation cooling material has both excellent flame retardancy and radiation cooling effects.

[0043] Base material

[0044] Existing radiative cooling technologies primarily use organic emulsions / organic substrates compounded with inorganic pigments and fillers to create paints / coatings / materials with high solar reflectivity and atmospheric window infrared emissivity. However, radiative cooling paints / coatings using organic materials as base binders have the following drawbacks: ignition and combustion support, poor adhesion, insufficient water resistance, susceptibility to powdering, mold, and yellowing, a short service life, poor scrub resistance, and insufficient environmental friendliness.

[0045] To this end, the matrix material used in the present invention includes an organic polymer material and / or an inorganic material, thereby overcoming the above-mentioned problems when using an organic material as the matrix material.

[0046] There is no particular limitation on the type of organic polymer material in the present invention. In some specific embodiments of the present invention, the organic polymer material may include one or more of tertiary carbon emulsion, tertiary carbon silane emulsion, fluorocarbon emulsion, polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF), acrylic emulsion, polydimethylsiloxane, polyester, nylon, spandex, etc. Among them, when used as a material for coatings and other coatings, higher requirements are placed on adhesion and weather resistance. From the perspective of adhesion and weather resistance, one or more of tertiary carbon emulsion, tertiary carbon silane emulsion, fluorocarbon emulsion, polyvinylidene fluoride, polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS), etc. are preferred.

[0047] Tertiary carbon emulsion is a room-temperature self-crosslinking emulsion based on vinyl ester carbonate and vinyl neodecanoate as primary monomers. The abundant alkyl groups in its molecular chain create a significant steric hindrance, resulting in excellent water resistance. Furthermore, the presence of large, lipid-soluble groups significantly reduces the surface tension of polymers, resulting in excellent adhesion and cohesive strength. As a result, tertiary carbon emulsions offer a balanced combination of rigidity and flexibility, high bonding strength, rapid crystallization, and excellent water, alkali, and weather resistance. Furthermore, the addition of silanes further enhances water whitening resistance and weather resistance.

[0048] There is no particular limitation on the type of inorganic material. In some specific embodiments of the present invention, the inorganic material may include one or more of silicates, phosphates, aluminates, and oxides. The silicates may include one or more of silica sol, potassium silicate, lithium silicate, lithium magnesium silicate, glass fiber, and ceramic fiber. The phosphates may include aluminum dihydrogen phosphate, the aluminates may include aluminum sol, and the oxides may include one or more of quartz glass fiber, alumina fiber, and zirconia fiber. The inorganic material may generally provide adhesion while having a synergistic flame retardant effect.

[0049] In some more specific embodiments, when a textile fabric is used as the substrate, it may preferably contain glass fiber, for example, a fabric made of glass fiber or a fabric made of a composite of glass fiber and other materials, examples of which include glass fiber cloth and glass fiber aluminum foil cloth.

[0050] The mass percentage of the matrix material in the radiation cooling material is 30% to 60%, for example, 35%, 40%, 45%, 50%, 55%, etc.

[0051] In some specific embodiments, when the matrix material is a combination of an organic polymer material and an inorganic material, the mass ratio of the organic polymer material to the inorganic material is not particularly limited.

[0052] flame retardant materials

[0053] The flame retardant material of the present invention comprises one or more of phosphorus-based materials, nitrogen-based materials and phosphorus-nitrogen-based composite materials, wherein phosphorus-based materials, nitrogen-based materials and phosphorus-nitrogen-based composite materials refer to phosphorus-containing compounds, nitrogen-containing compounds and compounds containing phosphorus and nitrogen, respectively.

[0054] The mass percentage of the flame retardant material in the radiant cooling material is 9% to 60%, for example, 10%, 15%, 20%, 25%, 30%, 35%, 40%, 45%, 50%, 55%, etc. Generally speaking, the amount of flame retardants used in radiant cooling materials is usually small in order to avoid the impact of the flame retardant on the radiant cooling effect. However, the inventors of the present invention have found that when specific flame retardant materials and their combinations are used and their content is controlled within the above-mentioned content range, not only can their flame retardant properties be fully exerted, but also the radiant cooling material can be given better flame retardant performance while improving its reflectivity in the solar band (0.3 to 2.5 μm), thereby achieving both excellent flame retardant performance and radiant cooling effect.

[0055] In some specific embodiments, the phosphorus-based material may include one or more of diethylphosphinate, inorganic hypophosphite, etc., wherein at least one of diethylphosphinate aluminum (ADP) and inorganic hypophosphite aluminum (ALHP) is preferred. When the phosphorus-based material is heated, it decomposes into phosphoric acid, metaphosphoric acid, polymetaphosphoric acid, etc. These phosphoric acids have strong dehydrating properties and can dehydrate and carbonize the polymer surface, while the elemental carbon cannot evaporate and burn and decompose to produce flames, thereby playing a flame retardant role. On the other hand, the phosphorus-based flame retardant generates PO when heated. · Free radicals can absorb a large amount of H·HO· free radicals, thereby interrupting the combustion reaction. Phosphorus-based materials used as flame retardants have the advantages of being halogen-free, low-toxic, stable, and having long-lasting effects. Among them, ADP can promote the formation of dense coke by catalyzing cross-linking reactions, significantly improving residual toughness and strength. When used alone, ADP mainly acts in the gas phase. When used in combination with other flame retardants, it can change the flame retardant mechanism and transform into a dominant role in the condensation phase. For example, when ADP is used in combination with melamine phosphate, which will be described later, a well-structured carbon layer can be formed, which plays a role in heat insulation and oxygen isolation, and has an excellent flame retardant effect.

[0056] In some specific embodiments, the nitrogen-based material may include one or more of melamine, melamine formaldehyde, melamine cyanurate (MCA), triglycidyl isocyanurate (TGIC), etc. When heated, the nitrogen-based material releases CO2, NH3, N2 gas, and H2O, reducing the concentration of oxygen in the air and combustible gases generated by thermal decomposition of the polymer. The generated non-combustible gas removes some heat, lowering the temperature of the polymer surface. Furthermore, the generated N2 can capture free radicals, inhibiting chain reactions in the polymer matrix and thus preventing combustion.

[0057] In some specific embodiments, the phosphorus-nitrogen composite material may include one or more of ammonium polyphosphate, melamine phosphate (MP), melamine pyrophosphate (MYP), and melamine polyphosphate (MPP). Melamine polyphosphate is preferred for improving flame retardancy and radiant cooling. When a polymer material containing the phosphorus-nitrogen composite material is heated, a uniform layer of carbon foam forms on its surface. This layer provides heat insulation, oxygen isolation, smoke suppression, and prevents the formation of molten droplets, resulting in excellent flame retardancy. Phosphorus-nitrogen flame retardants have the advantages of minimal volatility, non-toxicity, good compatibility with polymers, high decomposition temperature, and suitable processing.

[0058] The present invention does not impose any particular limitation on the average particle size of the flame retardant material or the average linear diameter of the fiber, and can be selected as needed. From the perspective of improving visible light reflectivity and near-infrared reflectivity, the average particle size of the flame retardant material or the average linear diameter of the fiber used in the present invention is 0.1 to 60 μm. The average particle size of the present invention refers to the volume average particle size, and the average linear diameter of the fiber refers to the average cross-sectional diameter of the fiber, for example, it can be 0.5 μm, 1 μm, 2.5 μm, 5 μm, 10 μm, 15 μm, 20 μm, 25 μm, 30 μm, 35 μm, 40 μm, 45 μm, 50 μm, 55 μm, etc.

The present invention utilizes inorganic particulate materials with an electronic band gap greater than 4.1 eV, which do not absorb ultraviolet light and offer superior radiative cooling effects to white fillers such as titanium dioxide added to conventional coatings. Furthermore, the materials can enhance wear resistance, reduce costs, and provide synergistic flame retardancy.

[0063] The inorganic fiber material includes one or a synthetic fiber of two or more of aluminum silicate (Al2O3·SiO2) fiber, silicon dioxide (SiO2) fiber, aluminum oxide (Al2O3) fiber, and zirconium oxide (ZrO2) fiber.
