[0024] Preferably, the main raw material ratio is: Bi2O3 80wt%, B2O3 11wt%, ZnO 3wt%, SiO2 3wt%, Al2O3 3wt%.

[0025] The bismuthate glass was prepared by melt water quenching.

[0026] The preferred method of the melt-quenching method is to melt the raw material at 1200 °C for 20 minutes and then pour it into deionized water to obtain the bismuthate glass.

[0027] This invention prepared bismuthate glasses with five components. The main raw materials were: 80wt% Bi2O3, 11wt% B2O3, 3wt% ZnO, 3wt% SiO2, and 3wt% Al2O3. 0wt%, 1wt%, 2wt%, 3wt%, and 4wt% TiO2 were added respectively, and the resulting bismuthate glasses were named Ti-0, Ti-1, Ti-2, Ti-3, and Ti-4, respectively.

[0028] Example 2: The bismuthate glass can be used to prepare bismuthate glass coatings or films. The raw materials for preparing the coatings or films include bismuthate glass, and the addition ratio of ink oil is 15-18 wt% and the addition ratio of dispersant is 0.5-1.0 wt%, based on the weight of bismuthate glass.

[0029] The method for preparing the coating or thin film includes the following steps: S1. Grind bismuthate glass into powder; S2. Bismuthate glass powder, ink oil, and dispersant are mixed to prepare a slurry. The slurry is then processed by conventional processes such as printing, coating, and spin coating to form a coating or film on a carrier. The carrier can be a glass substrate or other substrate. S3. Heat-treat the coating or film, then cool it to room temperature.

[0030] The heat treatment refers to holding the temperature at 560-700 ℃.

[0031] Preferably, the heat treatment temperature is 650℃ and 675℃.

[0032] The heat preservation time is generally 7-10 minutes, which can be adjusted to shorten or extend the time according to the actual situation, so as to meet the required time for the formation of the crystal phase.

[0033] This invention utilizes the five bismuthate glasses from Example 1 and prepares bismuthate glass coatings under different heat treatment conditions according to the method of this example.

[0034] The proportions of the raw materials used in the preparation of the glass coating are shown in Table 1: Table 1

[0035] The microstructure of the Ti-3 bismuthate glass coating (heat-treated at 650 °C for 10 minutes) was characterized, revealing snowflake-like patterns on the surface. Figure 1 ) and granular ( Figure 2 The structure contains dispersed spherical glass phases. Figure 3 The spherical dispersed phase was characterized as a silicon-rich phase.

[0036] The energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) data of the surface snowflake crystals are shown in Table 2 below. The calculated mass ratio of Si to Bi is 0.0939, which is very close to the theoretical ratio of these elements in Bi₄(SiO₄)₃ crystal (0.101), indirectly verifying the composition of the snowflake crystals.

Figure 5 Different crystal contents and types in the final coating can be obtained by adjusting the amount of TiO2 added to the bismuthate glass coating component and the coating heat treatment temperature.

[0040] The bismuthate glass coating (Ti-3 bismuthate glass coating, heat-treated at 650℃ for 10 minutes) was ground into powder and subjected to transmission characterization. Figure 6 A), energy spectrum data ( Figure 6 B) indicates that the elements precipitated from the Ti-3 bismuthate glass coating include Bi, O, Si, and Ti, and that in the crystal regions containing Bi, Ti, and O elements ( Figure 6 Within the marked region (A), two distinct crystal planes were identified, with interplanar spacings of 0.234 nm and 0.297 nm, respectively. Figure 6 C). By comparing the lattice parameters of Bi2Ti2O7 crystals, corresponding to the (662) and (444) crystal planes respectively, the electron diffraction pattern of the (662) crystal plane was obtained by Fourier transform. Figure 6 D) The data are consistent with those provided in existing literature. Transmission electron microscopy further confirmed the structure of the precipitated crystals. The surface roughness of the coating (Ti-3) was also characterized using atomic force microscopy. Figure 7 ).

[0041] Photographs and reflectance spectra of the coating, such as Figure 8 As shown, the reflectivity of the coatings under different heat treatment regimes was tested. For products treated at 650 °C, the reflectivity of the Ti-3 bismuthate glass coating and the Ti-4 bismuthate glass coating did not differ significantly.

[0042] The nanoindentation test results of the coating (heat treated at 580 ℃ for 10 minutes) show that ( Figure 9 The elastic modulus and hardness of the coating increase with the addition of TiO2.

[0046] The method for preparing the coating or thin film includes the following steps: S1. Thoroughly grind bismuthate glass and ceramic powder to obtain a mixed powder; S2. A slurry is prepared by mixing powder, ink oil, and dispersant, and then the slurry is applied to a substrate as a coating or film using conventional processes such as printing, coating, or spin coating. The substrate may be a glass substrate or other substrate. S3. Heat-treat the coating or film, then cool it to room temperature.

[0047] The heat treatment refers to holding the temperature at 560-700 ℃.

[0048] Preferably, the heat treatment temperature is 650 °C.

[0049] This invention utilizes Ti-0 bismuthate glass and Ti-3 bismuthate glass, respectively, and adds ceramic powder. According to the method of this embodiment, two coatings were prepared under heat treatment at 650 ℃ (the raw material ratio is: 60 wt% bismuthate glass, 40 wt% TiO2 ceramic powder, 18 wt% ink oil and 0.5 wt% dispersant based on the total weight of bismuthate glass and ceramic powder), and named Ti-0-40 and Ti-3-40, respectively.

[0050] Ceramic powder can be replaced with ZnO. A ZnO bismuthate glass-ceramic coating was prepared under heat treatment at 650 ℃ (the raw material ratio was: 60wt% Ti-3 bismuthate glass, 40wt% ZnO, 19wt% ink oil, and 0.5wt% dispersant based on the total weight of Ti-3 bismuthate glass and ZnO), named Ti-3-ZN40.

The test results are as follows: Figure 18 (Ti-3-40 coating) and Figure 19 (Ti-3-50 coating).

[0057] The radiative cooling performance of the coating is also related to its infrared emissivity, such as...
