Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of evaporation power generation technology, specifically to a water evaporation power generation device based on a low-grade thermal energy collection and conversion composite material and its manufacturing method. Background Technology

[0002] Water is one of the most abundant substances on Earth, covering 71% of the planet's surface. It is the source of life and energy, containing immense energy as a carrier. However, most of this energy is dissipated through evaporation, making it a difficult-to-collect, low-grade heat energy source. The annual power conversion from water evaporation alone exceeds 34 PW, three orders of magnitude higher than the average annual primary energy consumption by humankind. The natural water cycle is continuous, making water evaporation power generation an excellent new energy conversion method. It continuously converts the heat energy absorbed by water from the environment into electricity through the natural phenomenon of water evaporation, achieving the collection and conversion of low-grade heat energy. In recent years, due to its cleanliness, environmental friendliness, and low cost, water evaporation power generation has become a research hotspot in the field of new energy. Compared to traditional wind, solar, and tidal energy, water evaporation occurs constantly, is less affected by the environment, and can continuously output electricity.

[0003] The basic requirements for materials used in water evaporation power generation include the presence of numerous internal pores, a hydrophilic surface, and a high surface zeta potential. Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are ordered porous crystalline materials formed by the linkage of metal ions (or clusters) with organic ligands. Due to their large specific surface area, abundant pores, and tunable physicochemical properties, they have shown great potential in various application fields, such as hydrogen storage, separation, and catalysis.

[0004] The core advantage of MOF materials in evaporative power generation lies in the fact that by controlling their metal nodes or organic ligands, the properties and crystal structure of MOF materials can be precisely adjusted at the molecular level, thereby effectively controlling the internal and external environment and pore structure. Therefore, theoretically, MOFs may be a very promising material for water evaporation power generation.

[0005] In the research on the use of MOFs for water evaporation power generation, in addition to the selection of MOF types, another important point that cannot be ignored is the forming problem of MOFs during the device fabrication process. MOFs are prone to agglomeration and detachment, which makes it difficult to fabricate devices. Summary of the Invention

[0006] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by proposing a water evaporation power generation device based on low-grade thermal energy harvesting and conversion composite materials and its manufacturing method.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution:

[0008] A water evaporation power generation device based on low-grade thermal energy harvesting and conversion composite material includes a substrate, an upper electrode, a lower electrode, and a composite material layer. The upper and lower electrodes are located at the upper and lower ends of the same side of the substrate. The composite material layer is formed on the substrate by generating composite material. The upper and lower electrodes are located between the substrate and the composite material layer. The composite material is composed of 2D MOF, Nafion, and Span80.

[0009] Furthermore, the composite material is generated on the substrate by hot pressing.

[0010] Furthermore, the composite material is generated on the substrate by a drop-coating solution film-forming method.

[0011] The above-mentioned method for fabricating a water evaporation power generation device based on low-grade thermal energy harvesting and conversion composite materials includes the following steps:

[0012] S1, MOF suspension:

[0013] 2D MOF powder was dissolved in ultrapure water and ultrasonically dispersed for 15-30 min. The mass ratio of 2D MOF powder to ultrapure water was 1-2:1-5 to obtain MOF suspension.

[0014] Preparation of S2 and Span80 ethanol solutions:

[0015] Add Span80 dropwise to anhydrous ethanol solution and mix well. The mass ratio of Span80 to anhydrous ethanol solution is 0.5-1:10 to obtain Span80 ethanol solution.

[0016] S3. Preparation of mixed solutions:

[0017] The prepared MOF suspension was mixed with 5% Nafion solution and Span 80 ethanol solution in a volume ratio of 200:10-20:1-2, and sonicated for 1-2 hours to obtain a mixed solution.

[0018] S4. Component fabrication:

[0019] Two L-shaped electrodes are made on the substrate, and then a square groove is made with epoxy resin glue. The lower ends of the two L-shaped electrodes are located in the square groove. The shape will be set after the glue dries.

[0020] S5. Drop coating to form a film:

[0021] Use a dropper, pipette, or syringe to draw up the prepared mixed solution and slowly drip it into the square groove. Wait for it to air dry and form a film to obtain the water evaporation power generation device.

[0022] Furthermore, the synthesis method of the 2D MOF described in S1 is as follows:

[0023] Metal salts and organic ligand powders are added to an organic solvent and sonicated to fully dissolve them in the solvent and mix them evenly.

[0024] The solution was transferred to a high-pressure reactor and reacted at 125°C for 5 hours.

[0025] After the reaction was completed, the reaction vessel was removed, cooled to room temperature, and then the vessel was opened. The solution was transferred to a centrifuge tube, centrifuged, washed multiple times, and dried to obtain MOF powder.

[0026] Furthermore, the molar ratio of the metal salt, organic ligand powder, and organic solvent is 3-4:1-1.2:280-400.

[0027] Furthermore, the metal salt is aluminum chloride hexahydrate, the organic ligand is 2-hydroxyterephthalic acid, and the organic solvent is methanol.

[0028] Furthermore, the upper and lower L-shaped electrodes on the substrate described in S4 are made by coating with nano-conductive carbon black paste.

[0029] The present invention also provides a water evaporation power generation device manufactured by the above-described manufacturing method.

[0030] The present invention also provides the use of the water evaporation power generation device manufactured by the above-described method in water evaporation power generation.

[0031] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0032] The composite material layer of the water evaporation power generation device manufactured in this invention is not easily detached in air or water, and the MOF does not easily agglomerate during the manufacturing process, making the manufacturing process simple. The device can charge and discharge supercapacitors, light up LED lights, multiple devices connected in series can light up light bulbs, power digital computers and work watches, light-controlled switches, self-powered wearable sweat lactate analyzers, and can combine power generation with solar cells, representing a promising application approach.
