Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to an ultra-large variable emission and transmittance stacked electrochromic device and a preparation method thereof, belonging to the field of new materials. Background Art

[0002] Electrochromic materials are materials that undergo reversible and dramatic changes in transmittance or emissivity through the insertion and extraction of ions in the presence of an applied electric and ionic field. Common electrochromic materials include WO3, V2O5, TiO2, Ta2O5, RuO2, MoO3, MnO2, CuO, NiO, MoO3, conductive polymers (polyaniline, polythiophene, polypyrrole), organic single molecules (violet essence), Prussian blue, and metal-organic frameworks. Although electrochromic displays based on organic molecules, polymers, and metal-organic frameworks exhibit a variety of color characteristics, these materials lack the thermal and chemical stability of their inorganic electrochromic counterparts, which has seriously hindered their commercial application.

[0003] Inorganic electrochromic displays are considered to be at the forefront of commercial electrochromic display technology. V2O5 and WO3 can achieve yellow-green-gray-black and transparent-blue transitions, respectively, during electrochromic changes. Therefore, they have a wide range of applications in electrochromic films, gas sensors, supercapacitors, and electrochemical devices. V2O5's layered crystal structure can accommodate the insertion and removal of lithium ions, but strain can lead to structural disintegration and interlayer delamination. Furthermore, V2O5's relatively low lithium ion diffusion coefficient and moderate conductivity limit the rapid diffusion of ions, resulting in a sluggish switching response in the device.

[0004] There are many methods for preparing WO3 and V2O5 thin films. The sol-gel method has attracted widespread attention due to its low equipment cost, ease of scalable production, and commercial application. V2O5 can be melted at 850°C to prepare a sol. However, the melting point of tungsten oxide (1473°C) is higher than that of vanadium pentoxide (690°C), making it difficult to prepare a precursor sol by melting the oxide at high temperatures. Currently, three common sol-gel methods for preparing WO3 precursor sols include wet chemical methods, where tungsten or tungsten carbide powder reacts with hydrogen peroxide to produce a peroxytungstic acid sol; inorganic sol methods, where WCl6 is dissolved in an alcohol solution; and the synthesis of a tungsten oxide sol by reacting tungstic acid with sodium tungstate dihydrate. The present invention utilizes a method for preparing a high-concentration WO3 precursor sol by dissolving ammonium metatungstate in water. Although nitrogen and carbon impurities are introduced into the sol, these elements evaporate as NH3 and CO2 during subsequent high-temperature annealing of the film. The prepared tungsten oxide film has a higher gap, which is conducive to the contact between ions and the FTO conductive substrate, showing higher charge density and higher transmittance optical performance. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To address the poor electrochemical performance of V2O5, this invention proposes a novel WO3 / V2O5 stacked electrochromic device with ultra-large variable emission and transmittance, as well as a preparation method. The tungsten and vanadium sources are derived from ammonium metatungstate and vanadium pentoxide, resolving the shortcomings of existing technologies.

[0006] The invention is implemented as follows:

[0007] A super-large variable emission and transmittance laminated electrochromic device, characterized in that the device includes FTO glass sheets at both ends, and between the two FTO glass sheets are sequentially provided: a single-sided conductive copper tape, glass beads, UV light-cured adhesive, a gel electrolyte, a single-sided conductive copper tape, a V2O5 film, and a WO3 film; a layer of single-sided conductive copper tape is fixed at the edge of the conductive surface of the FTO glass sheet; the FTO glass sheet and the single-sided conductive copper tape serve as the conductive layer of the device; the V2O5 film and the WO3 film serve as the laminated electrochromic layer of the device; the glass beads, UV light-cured adhesive, and gel electrolyte serve as the ion storage layer of the device; a fern-shaped high-gap WO3 film is generated on the surface of the FTO glass immersed in an ammonium metatungstate precursor sol by a constant temperature film pulling machine, and then a layer of V2O5 film is deposited to form a WO3 / V2O5 laminated film. Ammonium metatungstate and polyvinyl pyrrolidone (or other structure-directing agents such as polyethylene glycol) are used to prepare WO3 precursor sol, and then a WO3 and V2O5 stacking scheme is used to optimize the film properties.

[0008] The method for preparing a high-gap laminated electrochromic device with ultra-large variable emissivity and transmittance of the present invention is characterized in that the preparation method comprises:

[0009] Step 1: Ultrasonic clean two 5.0cm*5.0cm FTO glass sheets with alcohol and acetone for half an hour respectively. After drying, fix a 7.0cm long single-sided conductive copper tape on the edge of the conductive surface of the glass sheet. Connect the extra length of single-sided conductive copper tape to the positive and negative terminals of the electrochemical workstation. Flatten the single-sided conductive copper tape and set aside for use.

[0010] Step 2: Weigh 34g of ammonium metatungstate or ammonium tungstate into 80ml of distilled water and stir at room temperature for 1 hour to obtain ammonium metatungstate or ammonium tungstate precursor sol, add an appropriate amount of structure directing agent with a mass fraction of 20%, stir evenly, and stop stirring to obtain tungsten oxide precursor sol; then use a film pulling machine to pull the FTO glass sheet cleaned in step 1 to grow a layer of WO3 precursor film;

[0011] Step 3: placing the stacked WO3 precursor film deposited in step 2 into a muffle furnace and annealing at 650° C. for 3 hours to obtain a thin film electrochromic film;

[0012] Step 4: Weigh 4 grams of V2O5 powder and put it into a crucible. Place the crucible in a muffle furnace and heat it to 850°C. After keeping warm for half an hour, quickly pour the molten V2O5 into 200 ml of distilled water. Stir for half an hour to form a V2O5 sol. Then centrifuge it to filter out the undissolved V2O5, and pour the V2O5 sol into a beaker. Then, a layer of V2O5 precursor film is deposited on the FTO glass sheet on which WO3 is deposited in step 2 through a film pulling machine. The parameters of the film pulling machine are the same as those in step 2. The centrifuge parameters are set to: 3500 rpm, 2 hours.

[0013] Step 5: Place the laminated film deposited in step 4 in a muffle furnace and anneal at 300° C. for 3 hours; change the film thickness by changing the number of pull-ups;

[0014] Step 6: Mix 20 ml of 1.0 mol / L battery-grade 100 vol% lithium perchlorate propylene carbonate electrolyte with 5 g of polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) at 80°C under a nitrogen or argon atmosphere. The resulting viscous gel electrolyte is ready for use.

[0015] Step 7: Place 4 100μm glass beads around the conductive surface of the laminated WO3 / V2O5 film annealed in step 4, and then apply an appropriate amount of gel electrolyte prepared in step 6 on the laminated surface; as the outermost layer, slowly place the FTO glass sheet on top of the gel electrolyte from the edge; after removing the bubbles in the middle of the glass sheet, seal it with an appropriate amount of UV light curing glue on all sides, and place it under a purple lamp for 10 minutes to obtain a high-gap WO3 / V2O5 laminated electrochromic device.

[0016] Furthermore, the structure directing agent is a mixture of one or more of polyvinyl alcohol, citric acid, dodecylbenzenesulfonic acid, ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid, and polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP-K30); the molecular weight of the polyvinylpyrrolidone is 10,000-100,000.

[0017] Furthermore, the parameters of the film pulling machine are set as follows: pulling speed is 200 μm / s, pulling times is 10 times, pulling interval is 13 minutes, dwell interval is 30 seconds, and temperature is room temperature.

[0018] The beneficial effect of adopting the above technical solution is that although the use of ammonium metatungstate and structure-directing agents introduces N and C element impurities, after subsequent annealing, the N and C elements will escape as NH3 and CO2, and the prepared WO3 film will have a higher gap. The high-gap WO3 film is beneficial to the contact between ions and the FTO conductive substrate, showing a higher charge density, with sensitive coloring efficiency and good electrochromic stability. The improved sol-gel method has low equipment cost, mild and safe reaction, simple preparation process and short cycle. The crystallinity of the tungsten oxide film can be controlled by controlling the annealing temperature to improve the electron transport efficiency. Experimental results show that the change in hemispherical emissivity between the faded state and the colored state of the film can reach 0.4650, the change in normal emissivity is equal to 0.4660, and the visible transmittance change ∆T lum Equal to 39.50%, thermal regulation capacity ∆T sol The device can reach 26.55%. When used in aerospace thermal control, it can adjust the spacecraft's outer surface's thermophysical properties, such as hemispherical emissivity and transmittance, through electrical signals, thereby controlling the spacecraft's surface thermal balance. The device also has broad application prospects in displays, smart windows, light modulators, sensors, smart glasses, and variable infrared / near-infrared devices. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

Step 2: Weigh 34g of ammonium metatungstate or ammonium tungstate into 80ml of distilled water and stir at room temperature for 1 hour to obtain ammonium metatungstate or ammonium tungstate precursor sol, add an appropriate amount of structure directing agent with a mass fraction of 20%, stir evenly, and stop stirring to obtain tungsten oxide precursor sol; then use a film pulling machine to pull the FTO glass sheet cleaned in step 1 to grow a layer of WO3 precursor film; Step 3: placing the stacked WO3 precursor film deposited in step 2 into a muffle furnace and annealing at 650° C. for 3 hours to obtain an electrochromic thin film; Step 4: Weigh 4 grams of V2O5 powder and put it into a crucible. Place the crucible in a muffle furnace and heat it to 850°C. After keeping warm for half an hour, quickly pour the molten V2O5 into 200 ml of distilled water. Stir for half an hour to form a V2O5 sol. Then, centrifuge it to filter out the undissolved V2O5, and pour the V2O5 sol into a beaker. Then, the FTO glass sheet with the WO3 thin film deposited in step 2 is passed through a film pulling machine to deposit another layer of V2O5 precursor film. The centrifuge parameters are set to: 3500 rpm, 2 hours; Step 5: Place the laminated film deposited in step 4 in a muffle furnace and anneal at 300° C. for 3 hours; change the film thickness by changing the number of pull-ups; Step 6: Take 20 ml of 1.0 mol / L battery-grade 100 Vol% lithium perchlorate propylene carbonate electrolyte and mix it with 5 g of polymethyl methacrylate under nitrogen or argon atmosphere at 80° C. and stir until evenly mixed to obtain a viscous gel electrolyte, which is then taken out for use; Step 7: Place 4 100μm glass beads around the conductive surface of the laminated WO3 / V2O5 film annealed in step 4, and then apply an appropriate amount of gel electrolyte prepared in step 6 on the laminated surface; as the outermost layer, slowly place the FTO glass sheet on top of the gel electrolyte from the edge; after removing the bubbles in the middle of the glass sheet, seal it with an appropriate amount of UV light curing glue on all sides, and place it under a purple lamp for 10 minutes to obtain a high-gap WO3 / V2O5 laminated electrochromic device.
