Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of electrochromic material preparation, and particularly relates to a Bi-doped WO3 electrochromic film, a preparation method and glass. BACKGROUND

[0002] Buildings consume 30-40% of the world's primary energy, and most of these energies are used for cooling, heating, lighting and electrical appliances, about 30% of which are lost through windows. Windows are crucial to the operation and comfort of buildings, and electrochromic glass can dynamically change color to adjust visible and near-infrared radiation according to the applied voltage, which is one of the solutions to reduce building energy loss. Compared with organic electrochromic materials, transition metal oxide materials are easy to process, have good reversibility and strong electrochemical stability, and are widely favored. Among them, tungsten trioxide (WO3) is a promising electrochromic material with a large light modulation range, high coloring efficiency and low price. In addition, compared with crystalline WO3, amorphous WO3 film has better electrochromic performance, faster switching response speed and higher color efficiency in the visible and near-infrared regions. However, due to the high disorder of the structure of amorphous WO3 and the weak adhesion between the substrate, the cycle stability is not ideal. SUMMARY

[0003] The first object of the present application is to provide a preparation method of a Bi-doped WO3 electrochromic film, which has simple operation steps and adopted equipment, and can be used to prepare the Bi-doped WO3 electrochromic film in an atmospheric environment.

[0004] The second object of the present application is to provide a Bi-doped WO3 electrochromic film, which has excellent electrochromic properties, a large light modulation range, fast response speed and good cycle stability.

[0005] The third object of the present application is to provide a glass containing the Bi-doped WO3 electrochromic film.

[0006] In order to achieve the above objects, the technical scheme adopted by the present application is as follows: a preparation method of a Bi-doped WO3 electrochromic film, comprising the following steps:

[0007] Step 1): dissolving H2WO4 in an H2O2 solution to obtain a tungsten peroxide acid solution, adding a Bi element-containing substance to the tungsten peroxide acid solution, and dissolving the Bi element-containing substance to obtain a Bi-tungsten peroxide acid solution;

[0008] Step 2): spin-coating the Bi-peroxotungstate solution obtained in step 1) on a conductive glass substrate, and baking to obtain a Bi-doped WO3 electrochromic film; or evaporating and concentrating the Bi-peroxotungstate solution in step 1) to obtain a Bi-peroxotungstate sol, spin-coating the Bi-peroxotungstate sol on a conductive glass substrate, and baking to obtain a Bi-doped WO3 electrochromic film.

[0009] Further, the Bi-doped WO3 electrochromic film has an amorphous structure.

[0010] Further, in the Bi-peroxotungstate solution in step 1), the ratio of Bi atoms to W atoms is 1:10-100.

[0011] Further, in step 1), the Bi-containing substance is one or more of metallic Bi powder, BiCl3, Bi(NO3)3, and Bi2O3; and the Bi-containing substance is dissolved by heating the peroxotungstate solution containing the Bi-containing substance to 30-100℃.

[0012] Further, in step 2), the Bi-peroxotungstate sol is prepared by evaporating and concentrating the Bi-peroxotungstate solution to 30-100% of the mass of the Bi-peroxotungstate solution under the condition of heating in a water bath at 50-100℃.

[0013] Further, in step 1), the mass percentage concentration of the H2O2 solution is 15-50%, and the molar concentration of the peroxotungstate solution is 0.1-1M.

[0014] Further, in step 2), the conductive glass substrate is a pretreated fluorine-doped tin oxide glass substrate, and the Bi-doped WO3 electrochromic film is prepared by spin-coating the Bi-peroxotungstate solution or the Bi-peroxotungstate sol on the pretreated fluorine-doped tin oxide glass substrate to form a film, and baking to obtain the Bi-doped WO3 electrochromic film.

[0015] Further, the baking temperature is 100-600℃, and the baking time is 0-6h.

[0016] A Bi-doped WO3 electrochromic film is prepared by the above method.

[0017] A glass containing the Bi-doped WO3 electrochromic film described above, and the glass is used in building doors and windows or glass curtain walls.

[0018] The beneficial effects of the present application are as follows:

[0019] The Bi-doped WO3 electrochromic film prepared in the embodiment 1 of the present application has a transmittance change of 73% under the condition of 630 nm wavelength, 0.5 M H2SO4 solution as electrolyte, and coloration and bleaching time of 3.6 s and 1.4 s, coloration efficiency of 52.52 cm 2 / C, and remains stable after more than 1600 cycles of test.

[0020] The preparation method of the Bi-doped WO3 electrochromic film of the present application is simple, the materials and preparation process cost are low, and the extreme environment conditions such as vacuum and precise and complex equipment are not needed, so that the large-scale production can be realized quickly. The low concentration of Bi element (Bi:W=1:30) can be used as a stabilizer of peroxotungstate solution. If more Bi element is added, for example, more than 0.06 g of Bi metal is added to 1.0 mL of peroxotungstate solution, the peroxotungstate solution will directly become a yellow gel-like substance, which cannot be completely dissolved even by stirring, which shows that the Bi element can promote the polymerization of peroxotungstate as a crosslinking agent or catalyst, and thus enhance the stability of Bi-peroxotungstate. Therefore, the Bi-peroxotungstate solution and Bi-peroxotungstate sol prepared by the present application are very stable and can be stored for years under indoor environmental conditions, which is beneficial to production application and commercialization.

[0021] The Bi-doped WO3 electrochromic film of the present application has high light transmittance and transparency in bleaching state, and presents deep blue color in coloration state, and has strong shielding ability to visible light and near-infrared light. The response speed in sulfuric acid solution is extremely fast, and good cycle stability is obtained under a suitable potential window. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS

From Figure 10 It can be seen that the Bi-doped WO3 electrochromic film prepared in Example 2 remained stable after more than 1200 cycles of testing.

[0106] Experimental Example 3

[0109] The Bi-doped WO3 electrochromic thin film prepared by this invention has two major advantages: (1) the spatial arrangement of the [WO6] octahedral lattice in amorphous WO3 is irregular, providing abundant open polygonal ion transfer channels; (2) Bi doping leads to a globally disordered but locally ordered structure of the ion channels and a larger interplanar spacing. These advantages enable the Bi-doped WO3 electrochromic thin film to possess accelerated charge transport dynamics, promoting H +The insertion / extraction process of ions in the lattice, in turn, makes the thin film exhibit excellent response speed. Compared with the original solution, the concentrated solution has higher viscosity, the thickness of the film prepared under the same spin coating conditions increases, and the adhesion to the substrate is also enhanced. Therefore, the film prepared by spin coating and calcination of Bi-peroxotungstate concentrated solution has higher thickness and more active units, can embed more ions in the electrochromic process, and exhibits larger optical modulation range and higher stability.
