Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application specifically relates to a method for in-situ growth of nano-titanium dioxide on the surface of fabric. Background Technology
[0002] Nano-titanium dioxide refers to titanium dioxide with a particle size of less than 100 nanometers. It possesses unique characteristics such as small particle size, high specific surface area, excellent photocatalytic activity, stable chemical and thermal properties, and super-affinity, giving it irreplaceable advantages in applications such as air purification, sterilization and disinfection, self-cleaning materials, and sunscreens. Loading nano-titanium dioxide onto the surface of different substrate materials is a prerequisite for its application in photocatalytic decomposition of pollutants, self-cleaning, and UV protection. Loading nano-titanium dioxide can improve its utilization efficiency, reduce shedding, and increase recyclability.
[0003] Currently, there are two main loading methods for nano-titanium dioxide: (1) Direct spraying method: This method is relatively simple to operate. It mainly involves preparing an aqueous solution of nano-titanium dioxide, spraying it onto the surface of the substrate material, and then drying it. In order to make the load firm, a binder is usually added during the preparation of the nano-titanium dioxide aqueous solution. (2) Spraying and sintering method: This method involves spraying nano-titanium dioxide or nano-titanium dioxide precursors onto the surface of the substrate material, drying it, and then sintering it at high temperature.
[0004] The above-mentioned main loading methods and the substrate materials have problems, mainly in the following aspects: (1) The primary particle size of nano-titanium dioxide particles obtained by direct spraying is usually greater than 50 nanometers, forming micron-scale particle agglomerates, which are easy to fall off after spraying; (2) A binder needs to be added. After the binder is added, firstly, the photocatalytic activity of nano-titanium dioxide is greatly reduced, and secondly, the substrate material turns yellow, affecting its use and aesthetics; (3) The spraying sintering method requires a high-temperature sintering process and can only be operated on the surface of high-temperature resistant materials such as metals and ceramics. The surface area of these materials is not large, resulting in a low titanium dioxide loading content. Moreover, the nano-titanium dioxide particles become larger after high-temperature sintering, further reducing the application performance; (4) The main loading materials such as nickel mesh and aluminum mesh cannot make tiny pore structures, resulting in low contact efficiency between air and the filter surface. In addition, the cost of these substrate materials is relatively high, making it difficult to promote on a large scale.
[0005] To overcome the above shortcomings, there is an urgent need to develop a method for in-situ growth of nano-titanium dioxide materials on the surface of fabrics that are inexpensive, shape-controllable, and widely available. Summary of the Invention
[0006] This application innovatively develops a method for in-situ growth of nano-titanium dioxide on the surface of fabrics. Nano-titanium dioxide materials can be grown in situ on the surface of fabrics. The nanoparticles are firmly bonded, do not fall off, and have extremely high photocatalytic activity.
[0007] One objective of this application is to provide a method for in-situ growth of nano-titanium dioxide on the surface of fabric. This method utilizes the weavable properties of these fabrics to prepare filters with different structures, shapes, and specifications. While reducing the manufacturing cost of photocatalytic oxidation filters, it greatly increases the contact efficiency between air and the filter surface, significantly improving the performance. The fabrics after in-situ growth of nano-titanium dioxide can also be used to prepare various self-cleaning, sun-protective, deodorizing, and antibacterial clothing and household products, expanding the market application space and showing great potential.

[0021] As a preferred aspect of this application, the titanic acid solution is prepared by mixing and stirring hydrated titanium hydroxide with hydrogen peroxide aqueous solution to form an aqueous solution; the mass fraction of titanic acid in the titanic acid solution is from one-thousandth to five percent.

Implementation
[0040] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solutions of this invention, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort should fall within the scope of protection of this invention.
[0041] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention pertains. The terminology used herein in the description of the invention is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the invention. The term "and / or" as used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.
[0042] Example 1
[0043] First, 10 grams of cleaned chemical fiber fabric (polyester fabric) was immersed in 50 ml of a 1% hydrogen peroxide aqueous solution and then heated at 80°C for 2 hours. Next, 2.5 mg of copper acetate was added to the solution, and the solution was heated at 80°C for another hour. The polyester fabric was then removed and dried. Next, 50 ml of a 2% titanic acid aqueous solution was prepared, and the dried polyester fabric was immersed in it and heated to 50°C for 1 hour. The polyester fabric was then removed and extruded to obtain a polyester fabric containing 60% titanic acid solution. Finally, the extruded polyester fabric was placed in a sealed reactor and heated in a 150°C electric oven for 6 hours to obtain a polyester fabric product with in-situ grown nano-titanium dioxide.
[0044] In Example 1, the polyester fabric with in-situ grown nano-titanium dioxide on the surface still appears white, as... Figure 1 As shown, after in-situ growth of nano-titanium dioxide on the fabric surface, the color and shape remained unchanged compared to the original untreated fabric, and no wrinkles occurred. A small amount of polyester fabric obtained in Example 1 was cut and adhered to the sample stage of a scanning electron microscope with conductive adhesive for observation of the sample morphology under low voltage. Figure 2 As shown. From Figure 2 It can be seen that the morphology and structure of the fibers remain intact, without damage or alteration, and still possess textile flexibility. They can be woven into various self-cleaning, sun-protective, deodorizing, and antibacterial filters, clothing, and household goods. Further observation using a magnified scanning electron microscope, such as... Figure 3 As shown. From Figure 3 As can be seen, in the titanium dioxide fiber composite material obtained in Example 1, nano-titanium dioxide material is uniformly distributed on the fiber surface, and the nano-titanium dioxide particles are firmly bonded to the fiber and do not fall off. Furthermore, the titanium content on the surface of the in-situ grown nano-titanium dioxide polyester fabric fiber obtained in Example 1 was further determined by EDS spectroscopy under scanning electron microscopy. Figure 4 As shown. From Figure 4 As can be seen, titanium can be detected on the fiber surface and is relatively uniformly distributed, further demonstrating that this method can grow nano-titanium dioxide in situ on the surface of fabrics and fibers with high quality. Further observation using a magnified scanning electron microscope, such as... Figure 5 As shown. From Figure 5As can be seen, a layer of nano-titanium dioxide was grown in situ on the surface of the fabric fibers obtained in Example 1 (top figure). These titanium dioxide particles are nanoscale, densely and firmly bonded, with a particle size of less than 10 nanometers and an average particle size of approximately 5 to 6 nanometers (bottom figure). Furthermore, the fabric was ball-milled, and the detached fine fibers were confirmed by XRD that the main crystalline phase of the nano-titanium dioxide particles on the surface was anatase, containing a small amount of rutile. This material exhibits good crystallinity, as shown in the XRD test results. Figure 6 As shown. To further investigate the material's shedding properties, the fabric obtained in this embodiment underwent various treatments including soaking, ultrasonic immersion in water, scraping, and washing. Ultimately, no nano-titanium dioxide particles were found to detach from the solution. The test results are as follows. Figure 7 As shown; Figure 7 It can also be seen that in the products of Comparative Examples 1 and 2, the fabric and titanium dioxide are not firmly bonded and are prone to detachment, resulting in a large amount of titanium dioxide particles in the solution. Furthermore, when 10 grams of the nano-titanium dioxide fabric obtained in Example 1 was added to 50 ml of a 20 ppm Rhodamine B solution, under standard sunlight irradiation, Rhodamine B was completely photocatalytically decomposed and removed within 20 minutes, confirming that the material has excellent photocatalytic activity and can be applied in air purification, water treatment, antibacterial and bacteriostatic fields, showing broad application prospects.
[0045] In summary, the advantages of this invention are: (1) Low-temperature preparation: This technique is applicable to most fiber and fabric materials and does not damage the structure and color of the fiber or fabric. (2) Nanoscale: The titanium dioxide particles obtained by this technique are nanoscale, with a particle size of less than 10 nanometers.

The titanium dioxide compound is converted into a dense nano titanium dioxide layer in situ by epitaxial growth. (4) Strong bonding: In the titanium dioxide fiber composite material obtained by this technique, the nano titanium dioxide particles are firmly bonded to the fiber. After soaking, immersion in water for ultrasonic treatment, scraping, washing and other treatments, no nano titanium dioxide particles were found to fall off.

After drying, the color of Rhodamine B could be removed by irradiation under sunlight for half an hour, which proved that it has excellent photocatalytic self-cleaning effect. (6) Low price: The preparation process and raw materials such as fabrics and fibers are inexpensive, safe, environmentally friendly and non-toxic. (7) Broad market: It can be woven into photocatalytic filter mesh for water purification, indoor and vehicle air purifiers, fresh air systems, industrial TVOC exhaust gas treatment, etc.; it has strong load-bearing capacity, water resistance and ultrasonic resistance, and can be woven into various self-cleaning, sun protection, deodorizing and antibacterial clothing and household products.

[0058] Example 8
[0059] First, 10 grams of cleaned cotton fibers were immersed in 50 ml of a 3% hydrogen peroxide aqueous solution and then heated at 75°C for 2 hours. Next, 5 mg of copper acetate was added to the solution, and the solution was heated at 75°C for another hour. The cotton fibers were then removed and dried.

[0060] Comparative Example 1
[0061] First, 10 grams of cleaned chemical fiber fabric (polyester fabric) was immersed in 50 ml of a 1% hydrogen peroxide aqueous solution and then heated at 80°C for 3 hours. The polyester fabric was then removed and dried. Next, 50 ml of a 2% titanic acid aqueous solution was prepared, and the dried polyester fabric was immersed in it and heated to 50°C for 1 hour. The polyester fabric was then removed and extruded to obtain a polyester fabric containing 60% titanic acid solution. Finally, the extruded polyester fabric was placed in a sealed reaction vessel and then heated in a 150°C electric oven for 6 hours to obtain the comparative product. In Comparative Example 1, due to the absence of copper ions, a large amount of titanic acid was not converted into nano-titanium dioxide, causing the fiber to turn yellow. The nano-titanium dioxide particles in the product were large and unevenly distributed, resulting in weak contact with the fiber and easy detachment. The nano-titanium dioxide was in the anatase phase and exhibited extremely low photocatalytic activity.
[0062] Comparative Example 2
[0063] First, 10 grams of cleaned chemical fiber fabric (polyester fabric) was immersed in 50 ml of a 1% hydrogen peroxide aqueous solution and then heated at 80°C for 2 hours. Next, 2.5 mg of copper acetate was added to the solution, and the solution was heated at 80°C for another hour. The polyester fabric was then removed and dried. Next, 50 ml of a 2% titanic acid aqueous solution was prepared, and the dried polyester fabric was immersed in it and heated to 50°C for 1 hour. The solution containing the polyester fabric was then placed directly into a reaction vessel, sealed, and heated in a 150°C electric oven for 6 hours to obtain the comparative product. In Comparative Example 2, titanium dioxide and fibers could not form a good composite material, mainly because the nano-titanium dioxide particles were generated in the solution through "nucleation growth," failing to effectively bind with the fibers and easily detaching. Furthermore, the nano-titanium dioxide particles obtained by this method were larger than 20 nanometers in size and exhibited extremely low photocatalytic activity.
