Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of passive energy utilization, specifically to a multidimensional hydrophobic radiation-cooling cement coating and its preparation method. Background Technology

[0002] Cooling is ubiquitous in modern society, ensuring environmental comfort. In recent decades, rapid population growth and intensive industrial development have led to global warming, further increasing the demand for cooling, especially during hot summers. It is reported that building energy consumption accounts for 40% of the total global energy cost today, with over 44% used for building thermal management, significantly exacerbating the global energy crisis. However, traditional compression-based cooling systems, such as air conditioning, consume vast amounts of energy while generating excessive CO2 and ozone depletion, contributing to both energy crises and environmental problems. Therefore, seeking energy-efficient and environmentally friendly cooling strategies has become extremely urgent.

[0003] As an alternative, passive diurnal radiative cooling has emerged as a highly attractive technology, capable of reducing the surface temperature of terrestrial objects (300K) by sending excess heat into space (3K) through atmospheric transparency windows (8–13 μm), with zero energy consumption. These windows overlap with the peak thermal radiation spectrum region of objects on Earth at typical ambient temperatures (close to 300K). Therefore, any object on Earth can radiate heat into outer space through atmospheric transparency windows, thus utilizing the coldness of space to lower its temperature.

[0004] Solar radiation is a significant heat source affecting the temperature of any exposed surface. While most sunlight intensity comes from photons in the visible light region, ultraviolet (UV) and near-infrared (NIR) photons also contribute significantly to solar radiation. Although specular reflectivity can be used to suppress sunlight, most research on radiative cooling employs diffuse reflection for this purpose. Diffuse reflection typically occurs in media whose components have varying refractive indices and exhibit a degree of disorder, leading to multiple scattering of incident light within the structure. Coatings, with their relatively simple preparation processes, offer a straightforward method for achieving light scattering because the arrangement of components within the coating is naturally disordered.

[0005] Because white surfaces have the highest solar reflectivity, which helps reduce heat absorption within the solar spectrum, existing passive radiative cooling technologies for daytime use are mostly white. However, the solar reflectivity of white surfaces typically decreases due to dust and other contaminants, leading to a loss of cooling performance. Research indicates that dust accumulation is the primary factor causing this decrease in solar reflectivity. A conventional solution to maintain the solar reflectivity of white surfaces is to apply a hydrophobic topcoat, but this suffers from reduced hydrophobicity or loss of self-cleaning properties after wear. To further maintain the coating's solar reflectivity and infrared emissivity over a longer period, the coating should integrate multi-dimensional hydrophobicity, self-cleaning, and radiative cooling, ensuring excellent cooling performance even after surface wear. Summary of the Invention

[0006] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this disclosure provides a low-cost, multi-dimensional hydrophobic radiation-cooling cement coating and its preparation method. This coating can be applied to surfaces such as buildings, oil and gas storage tanks, grain silos, substations, and tents, providing an integrated solution for zero-energy radiation cooling during the day, hydrophobic self-cleaning, and waterproofing. The multi-dimensional hydrophobic radiation-cooling cement coating provided in this application has a water contact angle of not less than 150°, exhibiting excellent superhydrophobic self-cleaning capabilities. Furthermore, the coating retains its excellent hydrophobic self-cleaning function even after wear, maintaining high solar reflectivity and infrared emissivity for a long time.

[0058] The features and advantages of the present invention are described in detail below.

[0059] The term "infrared emissivity of the atmospheric window" refers to the ratio of the energy emitted by a surface object through a mid-infrared atmospheric transparent window of 8-13 μm to the energy of blackbody radiation at the same temperature. The testing and calculation process is described in the Examples section.

[0060] The term "total solar reflectivity" refers to the ability of an object's surface to reflect light within the solar spectrum, and its testing and calculation process is described in the Examples section.

[0061] In view of the high energy consumption and significant environmental pollution caused by building thermal management in summer, this application provides a multidimensional hydrophobic radiation cooling cement coating and its preparation method.

[0062] In this invention, the term "all-dimensional hydrophobicity" means that, unlike preparing a hydrophobic topcoat on the coating surface, a hydrophobic component is added during the in-situ hydration of cement, thereby achieving hydrophobic self-cleaning in all parts of the coating. This allows the coating to retain its self-cleaning ability even after wear, thus maintaining good radiative cooling performance over a long period. Examples of hydrophobic components include one or more of dimethylpolysiloxane, methylvinylpolysiloxane, and methylphenylpolysiloxane.

[0063] On the one hand, this application provides a full-dimensional hydrophobic radiation-cooling cement coating, which comprises cement, functional filler, admixture and water.

[0064] The functional filler includes a main filler and optional auxiliary fillers. The main filler is selected from one or more of micron-sized hollow glass microspheres, micron-sized silica, and ceramic powder. The mass fraction of the main filler relative to the total solids content in the all-dimensional hydrophobic radiation-cooling cement coating is 20-40%, preferably 22-38%, and more preferably 25-35%. The morphology of the main filler and auxiliary filler is preferably spherical. The average particle size of the main filler is 0.2-100 μm, and the particle size of the auxiliary filler is 20-800 nm. The mass fraction of the auxiliary filler relative to the total solids content in the all-dimensional hydrophobic radiation-cooling cement coating is preferably less than 10%, more preferably less than 5%, and more preferably 1%-5%.

[0065] The admixture comprises micro / nanofibers and a hydrophobic component, and the mass fraction of each admixture relative to the solid content in the all-dimensional hydrophobic radiation-cooled cement coating is less than 3.0%. For example, the hydrophobic component is preferably 1.0%-3%, and the micro / nanofiber component is preferably 0.3%-3%. The amount of water used is 40%-70% of the solid mass, and includes the water contained in the micro / nano bagasse fiber aqueous dispersion.

[0066] Preferably, the micro / nanofibers are obtained by peeling bagasse. Specifically, the micro / nanofiber fibers are obtained by peeling bagasse after chemical and mechanical treatment, with a diameter of several nanometers to tens of nanometers and a length of several hundred nanometers to several micrometers.

[0067] Preferably, the main filler is selected from one or more of the following: micron hollow microspheres, micron silica, ceramic powder, etc.

[0068] Preferably, examples of the auxiliary filler include one or more selected from nano-silica, nano-calcium carbonate, nano-alumina, etc.

[0069] Preferably, the additive further includes an antifoaming agent.

[0070] Preferably, the mass fraction of the additives in the coating is less than 1.0%.

[0071] According to the present invention, the all-dimensional hydrophobic radiation-cooling cement coating uses cement as the main raw material, which is low in cost and has a relatively simple preparation process. By introducing hydrophobic components during the in-situ hydration of cement, the radiation-cooling cement coating can have the ability to be all-dimensionally hydrophobic and self-cleaning. On the one hand, it can effectively prevent rainwater from soaking and causing the coating to fall off. On the other hand, it can enable the radiation-cooling cement coating to maintain high solar reflectivity and high-to-medium far-infrared emissivity for a long time.

[0072] As an example, according to one embodiment of the present invention, a multidimensional hydrophobic radiation-cooled cement coating is provided, comprising the following components in the following mass percentage ranges: 5%-40% micron hollow glass microspheres, 5%-20% micron silica, 2%-15% nano-calcium carbonate or nano-silica, 1.0%-3% hydrophobic component, 0.3%-3% micron / nano bagasse fiber, 40%-80% cement, and 40%-70% water, wherein the mass percentages are the mass fractions of each component relative to the solid content in the multidimensional hydrophobic radiation-cooled cement coating.

[0073] As another example, according to another embodiment of the present invention, a multidimensional hydrophobic radiation-cooled cement coating is provided, comprising the following components in the following mass percentage ranges: 10%-40% micron hollow glass microspheres, 5%-20% micron silica, 5%-20% ceramic powder, 2%-10% nano-calcium carbonate or nano-silica, 3%-10% nano-alumina, 1.0%-3% hydrophobic component, 0.3%-2.0% micron / nano bagasse fiber, 40%-80% cement, and 40%-70% water, wherein the mass percentages are the mass fractions of each component relative to the solid content in the multidimensional hydrophobic radiation-cooled cement coating.

[0074] On the other hand, this application also provides a method for preparing a multidimensional hydrophobic radiation-cooled cement coating, comprising the following steps:

[0075] A) Weigh the additives according to the formula, disperse them evenly at high speed, stir at low speed, and slowly add the main filler and auxiliary filler according to the formula. Continue to disperse and set aside.

[0076] B) Add the functional filler dispersion obtained in step A) to the cement powder weighed according to the formula, and use a planetary rotation and revolution stirring to mix and disperse the components to obtain the all-dimensional hydrophobic radiation cooling cement coating.

[0077] The planetary rotation and revolution mixing adopts a low-speed and high-speed gradient speed-increasing mixing method, with the rotation and revolution speed increasing from 200 RPM to 2500 RPM, and the mixing time being 3-10 minutes.

[0078] In the preparation method of the present invention, the main filler is preferably selected from one or more of micron-sized hollow microspheres, micron-sized silica, ceramic powder, etc. Preferably, the auxiliary filler is selected from one or more of nano-silica, nano-calcium carbonate, nano-alumina, etc. Preferably, the additive is one or more of an defoamer, a hydrophobic component, and micron / nanofiber obtained from bagasse peeling.

[0079] In the preparation process of the aforementioned all-dimensional hydrophobic radiation-cooled cement coating, nano / micro fibers (e.g., nano / micro fibers obtained by peeling bagasse) are first introduced. On the one hand, biomass nano / micro fibers can increase the viscosity of the slurry, thereby improving workability, and their excellent water retention can provide moisture for cement hydration, thus improving the strength of the coating. On the other hand, the multi-level network structure of biomass nano / micro fibers can connect the cement hydration products, thereby improving the toughness of the coating and preventing shrinkage cracking of the cement coating. Then, functional fillers and hydrophobic components are added during the in-situ cement hydration process. Among them, nano-calcium carbonate and micro-hollow glass microspheres, as white pigments, can increase the reflective area of ​​the coating, thereby improving the reflectivity of the coating. The phonon polaron resonance exhibited by micro- and nano-silica can improve the infrared emissivity of the coating at atmospheric windows.

[0080] In summary, this disclosure provides a multidimensional hydrophobic radiation-cooled cement coating, comprising cement, functional fillers, micro / nanofibers, hydrophobic components, and water. Without being bound by any theoretical constraints, the applicant believes that: the multidimensional hydrophobic radiation-cooled cement coating firstly introduces nano / microfibers, such as those obtained by stripping bagasse. On the one hand, biomass nano / microfibers can increase the viscosity of the slurry, thereby improving workability, and the excellent water retention provided by the numerous active groups on the fiber surface can provide moisture for cement hydration, thus improving the coating strength. On the other hand, the multi-level network structure of biomass nano / microfibers can connect the cement hydration products, thereby improving the coating's toughness and preventing shrinkage cracking of the cement coating; then, functional fillers and hydrophobic components are added during the in-situ cement hydration process. Nano-calcium carbonate and micron-sized hollow glass microspheres, as white pigments, can increase the reflective area of ​​the coating, thereby improving its reflectivity, while silica can increase the infrared emissivity of the coating at atmospheric windows.

[0081] Example

[0082] To enable those skilled in the art to further understand, implement, or use the present invention, the following detailed description of the all-dimensional hydrophobic radiation-cooling cement coating provided by the present invention is provided in conjunction with embodiments. Therefore, these embodiments are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present invention, which is defined by the appended claims.

[0083] All reagents used in the following examples are commercially available and were used directly without special treatment. The micron / nano bagasse fibers were obtained in the laboratory through peeling, specifically, bagasse fibers with diameters ranging from several nanometers to tens of nanometers and lengths ranging from hundreds of nanometers to several micrometers obtained through chemical and mechanical treatment. Specifically, the peeling method involved first thoroughly washing the bagasse with clean water, then immersing it in a 3%-8% sodium chlorite solution with 3-5 ml of acetic acid added, reacting it in an 80°C oven for 6 hours, washing it again, and then mechanically dispersing and peeling it using high-pressure homogenization.

[0084] The prepared all-dimensional hydrophobic radiation-cooled cement coating was applied to a 5cm×5cm cement substrate. The spectral reflectance, total solar reflectance, and infrared emissivity of the coating were measured using a UV / Vis / Near-Infrared spectrophotometer (Pekin-Elmer Lambda950) and a Fourier transform infrared spectrometer (Nicolet iS50), respectively.

[0085] The prepared all-dimensional hydrophobic radiation-cooling cement coating was applied to a cement substrate measuring 20cm long × 20cm wide × 1cm thick. The substrate was placed in a sample chamber exposed to air and insulated at the bottom. A thermal resistor in a nearby Stevenson screen was used to measure the ambient air temperature, and a thermal resistor inserted into the central hole at the bottom of the cement substrate was used to measure the surface temperature beneath the coating. An anemometer was used to measure wind speed and the conduction and convection non-radiative heat transfer coefficients, and an irradiance meter was used to measure solar irradiance. All the measured data were wirelessly transmitted to a computer terminal.

[0086] The formula for calculating total solar reflectance is as follows:

[0087]

[0088] Where λ is the incident light wavelength in the range of 0.3-2.5 μm, and I solar It is the standardized ASTM G173 global solar intensity spectrum, ρ solar (λ,θ) is the spectral reflectance of the surface.

[0089] The formula for calculating the infrared emissivity of the atmospheric window is as follows:

[0090]

[0091] Among them, I BB (λ) is the spectral intensity of the blackbody, ε LWIR (λ,θ) is the spectral thermal emissivity of the surface in the range of 8-13 μm.

[0092] Example 1

Slowly add the main filler and auxiliary filler (20% micron hollow glass microspheres, 5% micron silica, and 2% nano calcium carbonate) according to the formula, continue to disperse and set aside.

[0094] B) Add the functional filler dispersion obtained in step A) to the cement powder weighed according to the formula amount (70.8%), and use a planetary rotation and revolution stirring to mix and disperse the components to obtain the all-dimensional hydrophobic radiation cooling cement coating.

[0095] C) Apply the all-dimensional hydrophobic radiation cooling cement coating obtained in step B) to the cement substrate by scraping and brushing, and cure it under natural conditions (temperature 25℃±3℃, humidity 50%±10%).

[0122] B) Apply the comparative cement coating obtained in step A) to the cement substrate by scraping and brushing, and cure it under natural conditions (temperature 25℃±3℃, humidity 50%±10%).

[0123] Figure 13 This is a schematic diagram showing the reflectance of the cement coating prepared in this comparative example at different wavelengths. The overall solar reflectance of the coating is 76.95%, which fails to meet the basic requirement of >80% reflectance for building reflective thermal insulation coatings.

[0124] Comparative Example 2

[0125] No hydrophobic components were used in this comparative example.

[0126] A) Weigh 1.2% of micron / nano bagasse fiber according to the formula and add it to water (mass fraction of solid mass). Disperse at high speed and stir at low speed. Slowly add the main filler and auxiliary filler (20% micron hollow glass microspheres, 5% micron silica, and 2% nano calcium carbonate) according to the formula. Continue to disperse and set aside.

[0127] B) Add the functional filler dispersion obtained in step A) to the cement powder weighed according to the formula amount (71.8%), and use a planetary rotation and revolution stirring to mix and disperse the components to obtain the all-dimensional hydrophobic radiation cooling cement coating.

[0128] C) Apply the radiation-cooled cement coating obtained in step B) to the cement substrate by scraping and brushing, and cure it under natural conditions (temperature 25℃±3℃, humidity 50%±10%).

[0129] Figure 14 The contact angle between the radiation-cooled cement coating prepared for this comparative example and water is less than 90°, indicating that it does not possess hydrophobic properties.

[0130] Figure 15 This is a schematic diagram showing the reflectance of the radiation-cooled cement coating prepared in this comparative example at different wavelengths. The overall solar reflectance of the coating is 93.4%, which is basically consistent with the solar reflectance of the all-dimensional hydrophobic radiation-cooled cement coating, indicating that the hydrophobic treatment did not significantly affect the solar reflectance of the coating.

[0131] Industrial applicability

[0132] Unlike conventional hydrophobic topcoats that only possess surface hydrophobic self-cleaning functions, the all-dimensional hydrophobic radiation-cooling cement coating of this invention integrates radiation cooling and all-dimensional hydrophobicity, maintaining excellent self-cleaning and radiation cooling performance even with wear. The coating obtained by this invention has a water contact angle greater than 150°, and both its overall reflectivity and overall infrared emissivity at the atmospheric window are above 90%. Therefore, the all-dimensional hydrophobic radiation-cooling cement coating of this invention is expected to have broad application prospects in industry.
