Technical Field
[0002] This application belongs to the field of building materials technology, and in particular relates to a building coating material, its preparation method and application. Background Technology
[0003] In today's world, energy has become a global concern. With population growth and accelerated urbanization, land resources are becoming increasingly scarce, and the energy efficiency of confined spaces such as building rooftops is becoming increasingly prominent. How to achieve efficient energy use within limited spaces has become a crucial challenge we face.
[0004] The current state of energy efficiency in space-constrained environments is far from satisfactory. On the one hand, traditional building rooftops often serve merely as a covering layer, their energy utilization value not being fully realized. In many cities, vast amounts of rooftop space remain idle, wasting valuable solar energy resources. On the other hand, even when some buildings have installed solar panels and other energy equipment, poor design and aging equipment result in low energy conversion efficiency, failing to fully realize their potential. Furthermore, energy management in space-constrained environments also faces numerous problems, lacking effective monitoring and control measures, leading to severe energy waste.
[0005] Current technologies, such as traditional photovoltaic systems and radiative cooling solutions, are effective in isolation, but cannot be effectively combined due to material and structural limitations. Coatings currently used in photovoltaic systems often lack the ability to selectively reflect specific wavelengths of light, leading to increased heat and reduced power generation efficiency. Similarly, while radiative cooling technologies are effective at dissipating heat, they do not promote energy generation. Therefore, a solution is urgently needed to improve the performance of current buildings in generating electricity while simultaneously reducing heat buildup. Summary of the Invention
[0006] The purpose of this application is to provide a building coating material, its preparation method and application, which aims to solve the problem that buildings in the prior art cannot generate electricity while reducing heat accumulation.

[0016] Thirdly, this application provides a method for cooling and improving the efficiency of a photovoltaic system, wherein a coating is applied to the ground or base where the photovoltaic panel or photovoltaic support is located, wherein the coating is prepared using the aforementioned building coating material.
[0017] In some embodiments, the thickness of the coating is 100 micrometers to 300 micrometers.
[0018] In some embodiments, the photovoltaic panel includes a single-sided photovoltaic panel or a double-sided photovoltaic panel.
[0019] The first aspect of this application provides a building coating material. This coating material uses a polymer emulsion as its base material to ensure its suitability for large-scale application on building surfaces. Furthermore, it includes a filler with selective reflectivity, a photoluminescent material, additives, and water. The addition of the selectively reflective filler ensures that the coating exhibits high reflectivity only within its spectral response band, enhancing the intensity of incident solar radiation and improving the power conversion efficiency of BiPV. The selective absorption of the coating minimizes energy loss outside the active response spectrum, reducing non-photovoltaic heat gain. Combined with the photoluminescent material, the photoluminescent material re-emits photons of specific wavelengths absorbed by the selectively reflective filler within the visible range, generating a photovoltaic effect and improving energy conversion efficiency while simultaneously achieving effective radiative cooling. Therefore, the resulting building coating material simultaneously achieves concentrated absorption of photons in a specific spectral response band and performs solar energy conversion and radiative cooling, making it suitable for a wider range of building types and surfaces, and possessing significant market potential and practical usability.
[0020] The second aspect of this application provides a method for preparing a building coating material. This method only requires mixing the components of the building coating material to obtain the building coating material. The preparation method is simple and easy to operate. It does not require the use of large-scale instruments and equipment. The building coating material can be obtained by simple mixing, which is conducive to industrial application.
[0021] The photovoltaic system cooling and efficiency enhancement method provided in the third aspect of this application involves applying the aforementioned building coating material to the ground or base where the photovoltaic panel or photovoltaic support is located. This coating optimizes the selective absorption of useful wavelengths of light by the solar cells and minimizes heat load. Furthermore, it better converts ultraviolet and near-infrared rays into visible light to improve power generation and achieve cooling. This facilitates a better balance between cooling and power generation, making the system more reliable and durable in high-temperature environments, reducing efficiency loss due to heat accumulation, and further improving the cooling performance and efficiency of the photovoltaic system, thus promoting its widespread use.

[0028] To make the technical problems, technical solutions, and beneficial effects of this application clearer, the following detailed description is provided in conjunction with embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative and not intended to limit the scope of this application.
[0029] In this application, the term "and / or" describes the relationship between related objects, indicating that three relationships can exist. For example, A and / or B can represent: A existing alone, A and B existing simultaneously, or B existing alone. A and B can be singular or plural. The character " / " generally indicates that the preceding and following related objects have an "or" relationship.
[0030] In this application, "at least one" means one or more, and "more than one" means two or more. "At least one of the following" or similar expressions refer to any combination of these items, including any combination of single or multiple items. For example, "at least one of a, b, or c", or "at least one of a, b, and c", can both mean: a, b, c, ab (i.e., a and b), ac, bc, or abc, where a, b, and c can be single or multiple.
[0031] It should be understood that in the various embodiments of this application, the order of the above processes does not imply the order of execution. Some or all steps may be executed in parallel or sequentially. The execution order of each process should be determined by its function and internal logic, and should not constitute any limitation on the implementation process of the embodiments of this application.
[0032] The terminology used in the embodiments of this application is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of this application. The singular forms "a" and "the" as used in the embodiments of this application and the appended claims are also intended to include the plural forms, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise.
[0033] The weights of the relevant components mentioned in the embodiments of this application can refer not only to the specific content of each component, but also to the proportional relationship between the weights of the components. Therefore, any scaling up or down of the content of the relevant components according to the embodiments of this application is within the scope disclosed in the embodiments of this application. Specifically, the mass in the embodiments of this application can be a well-known unit of mass in the chemical industry, such as µg, mg, g, or kg.
[0034] The terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only, to distinguish objects, such as substances, from one another, and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. For example, without departing from the scope of the embodiments of this application, "first XX" may also be referred to as "second XX," and similarly, "second XX" may also be referred to as "first XX." Thus, features defined with "first" and "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature.
[0035] The first aspect of this application provides a building coating material, which, based on 100% of the total weight of the building coating material, includes the following components by weight percentage: Fillers with selective reflectivity account for 20% to 30%; Photoluminescent materials: 5%~20%; Polymer emulsion 10%~15%; Additives 5%~8%; Water content: 30%~50%.
[0036] The first aspect of this application provides a building coating material. This coating material uses a polymer emulsion as its base material to ensure its suitability for large-scale application on building surfaces. Further, it includes a filler with selective reflectivity, a photoluminescent material, additives, and water. The addition of the selectively reflective filler ensures that the coating exhibits high reflectivity only within its spectral response band, enhancing the intensity of incident solar radiation and improving the power conversion efficiency of BiPV. The selective absorption of the coating minimizes energy loss outside the active response spectrum, reducing non-photovoltaic heat gain. Combined with the photoluminescent material, the photoluminescent material re-emits photons of specific wavelengths absorbed by the selectively reflective filler within the visible range, generating a photovoltaic effect and improving energy conversion efficiency while simultaneously achieving effective radiative cooling. Therefore, the resulting building coating material simultaneously achieves concentrated absorption of photons in a specific spectral response band and performs solar energy conversion and radiative cooling, making it suitable for a wider range of building types and surfaces, with significant market potential and practical usability.
[0037] The coating material, by weight (100%), includes 20%–30% selective reflective filler. This selective reflective filler exhibits high reflectivity within the target spectral response band, thereby enhancing the intensity of incident sunlight, preventing absorption of light in other bands, and improving power conversion efficiency. Excessive addition of selective reflective filler will affect the coating's cost, structure, and spectral performance; conversely, insufficient addition will also affect the coating's structure and spectral performance.
[0038] In some embodiments, the weight percentage of fillers with selective reflectivity, based on 100% of the total weight of the building coating material, includes, but is not limited to, typical but non-limiting values such as 20%, 21%, 22%, 23%, 24%, 25%, 26%, 27%, 28%, 29%, and 30%.
[0039] In some embodiments, the filler having selective reflectivity is selected from at least one of titanium dioxide, silicon dioxide, magnesium oxide, and aluminum oxide.
[0040] In some embodiments, the filler with selective reflectivity is selected from titanium dioxide, a white pigment with excellent optical properties due to its unique crystal structure and surface characteristics. The ion arrangement and surface state in its crystal structure enable titanium dioxide to effectively reflect infrared radiation and reduce heat absorption. In specific applications, the particle size of titanium dioxide is 200-450 nm.
[0041] In some embodiments, the filler with selective reflectivity is selected from silica. Silica exhibits excellent reflectivity for all wavelengths of light. Specifically, silica has a reflectivity of 70%–80% for short-wave ultraviolet light (200–280 nm), 80%–85% for medium-wave ultraviolet light (280–400 nm), over 85% for visible light (400–800 nm), and over 70% for near-infrared light in the 800–1350 nm wavelength range. In practical applications, nano-sized silica must be selected. If the silica particle size is too large, the particles will interfere with each other, resulting in lower reflectivity for all wavelengths of light.
[0042] In some embodiments, the filler with selective reflectivity is selected from magnesium oxide. Magnesium oxide has a certain reflectivity in the ultraviolet region, especially in the wavelength range of 200-300 nm, where the reflectivity is relatively high, generally around 30%-50%. In the visible light range, the reflectivity of magnesium oxide is usually between 80%-90%. In the wavelength range of 700-1500 nm, the reflectivity gradually decreases from around 70% to 40%. In practical applications, high-purity magnesium oxide with small particle size is selected. Generally, the purity is controlled above 90%, as too many impurities will reduce the reflectivity of magnesium oxide. The particle size is controlled at 10-50 nm. Smaller magnesium oxide particles have a larger specific surface area and increased surface energy, which is beneficial for enhancing reflectivity.
[0043] In some embodiments, the filler with selective reflectivity is selected from alumina, which has high reflectivity in the ultraviolet region, typically around 80% to 90% in the visible light range, and 40% to 70% in some near-infrared bands. Selecting high-purity alumina with smaller particle size results in superior optical performance and reflectivity.
[0044] The building coating material comprises 5% to 20% photoluminescent material by weight, based on a total weight percentage of 100%. This photoluminescent material can re-emit photons from absorbed sunlight within the visible range, thus generating a photovoltaic effect; it also provides a cooling effect. When used in conjunction with fillers possessing selective reflectivity, it can improve the overall building energy efficiency. Insufficient photoluminescent material by weight will reduce the photoluminescence quantum yield, while excessive addition will result in excessively high absorption rates.
[0045] In some embodiments, the weight percentage of photoluminescent material, based on the total weight of the building coating material as 100%, includes, but is not limited to, typical but non-limiting values such as 5%, 7%, 9%, 10%, 12%, 15%, 17%, 19%, and 20%.
[0046] In some embodiments, the photoluminescent material is selected from at least one of rare earth materials, quantum dot materials, and perovskite materials.
[0047] In some embodiments, the photoluminescent material is selected from rare earth materials, specifically photoluminescent rare earth materials, including rare earth phosphors or long-afterglow photoluminescent materials. The rare earth phosphors include tri-color rare earth phosphors, composed of red, green, and blue phosphors; wherein the red phosphor includes, but is not limited to, Y₂O₃:Eu. 3+ Green powder includes, but is not limited to, LaPO4:Ce 3+ Blue powder includes, but is not limited to, BaMgAl 10 O 17 Eu 2+ Long-afterglow photoluminescent materials include, but are not limited to, aluminate series SrAl2O4:Eu 2+ SrAl2O4:Dy 3+ Rare earth activated sulfides of the silicate series.

[0049] In some embodiments, the photoluminescent material is selected from perovskite materials, wherein the perovskite materials include, but are not limited to, at least one of orthorhombic perovskite structure materials, cubic perovskite structure materials, and hexagonal crystalline non-perovskite structure materials. The building coating material comprises 10% to 15% polymer emulsion by weight, based on 100% of the total weight of the coating material. The provided building coating material uses a polymer emulsion as the base material to ensure that the prepared coating material is suitable for large-scale application on building surfaces. The coating is made using a water-based polymer emulsion method, making the process environmentally friendly and suitable for large-scale application.
[0050] In some embodiments, the weight percentage of the polymer emulsion, based on the total weight of the building coating material as 100%, includes, but is not limited to, typical but non-limiting values such as 10%, 11%, 12%, 13%, 14%, and 15%.
[0051] In some embodiments, the polymer emulsion is selected from at least one of styrene-propylene emulsion and polyurethane emulsion.
[0052] The total weight of the building coating material is 100%, including additives at a weight percentage of 5% to 8%. Adding additives primarily improves the various properties of the coating material.
[0053] In some embodiments, the additive includes at least one of an aqueous wetting agent, a dispersant, and a film-forming agent.
[0054] In some embodiments, the aqueous wetting agent includes at least one of hydrocarbon chain wetting agents, alkynyl alcohol wetting agents, alkynyl alcohol-modified polyol wetting agents, and organosilicon wetting agents.
[0055] In some embodiments, the dispersant includes at least one of ionic dispersants, amphoteric dispersants, nonionic dispersants, electrically neutral dispersants, and polymeric dispersants.
[0056] In some embodiments, the film-forming agent includes at least one of alcohol-based film-forming agents, alcohol ester-based film-forming agents, alcohol ether-based film-forming agents, and alcohol ether ester-based film-forming agents.
