However, the traditional heat management equipment can alleviate the discomfort of the human body to a certain extent, but it has the shortcomings of high energy consumption, low efficiency and inability to meet the outdoor body temperature regulation requirements. In order to overcome the above shortcomings, the daytime passive radiation cooling and solar heating technology with zero energy consumption have attracted the attention of researchers.

Spray onto the flesh side of the leather with the radiative cooling layer, dry at 55℃ for 2 h to obtain the multifunctional leather-based wearable material.

[0037] Example 2

[0038] The application is a preparation method of multifunctional leather-based wearable material for dynamic heat conversion, specifically: uniformly dissolve 0.4 g of magnesium phosphite powder in a mixed solution of 14 mL of acetone and 4 mL of water, then slowly add 1 g of cellulose acetate while stirring, continue stirring at room temperature for 1 h, spray onto the grain side of the leather and dry at 20℃ for 8 h to obtain a radiative cooling layer. Take 0.5 g of poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene): poly(styrenesulfonate) solution, 0.09 g of multi-walled carbon nanotube powder, 0.045 g of trimethoxy(1H,1H,2H,2H-hexadecafluorodecyl)silane, and 0.09 g of PDMS into a beaker, then add 8 g of ethyl acetate as a solvent, stir magnetically at room temperature for 1 h and ultrasonically for 5 min. Spray onto the flesh side of the leather with the radiative cooling layer, dry at 55℃ for 2 h to obtain the multifunctional leather-based wearable material.

[0039] Example 3

[0040] The application is based on a preparation method of multifunctional leather-based wearable material through dynamic heat conversion, specifically: 0.8g of magnesium phosphite powder is first uniformly dissolved and dispersed in a mixed solution of 18mL of acetone and 0mL of water, then 3g of cellulose acetate is slowly added while stirring, and the stirring is continued at room temperature for 2h. Spray to the leather grain layer and dry at 40℃ for 6h to obtain the radiative cooling layer. Take 1.5g of poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene): poly(styrenesulfonate) solution, 0.45g of multi-walled carbon nanotube powder, 0.135g of trimethoxy(1H,1H,2H,2H-hexadecafluorodecyl)silane, 0.27g of PDMS into a beaker, then add 10g of ethyl acetate as a solvent, stir for 3h at room temperature and ultrasonic stir for 15min, spray to the leather flesh side layer with the radiative cooling layer, dry at 65℃ for 4h to obtain the multifunctional leather-based wearable material.

[0041] Figure 1 The physical map of the radiative cooling side of the prepared multifunctional leather-based wearable material is shown in the figure, and it can be seen that the cooling side is highly white. White materials generally have high light reflectivity, so this is one of the reasons why the radiative cooling side has high reflectivity in the solar spectrum. Figure 2 The physical map of the solar heating side of the prepared multifunctional leather-based wearable material is shown in the figure, and it can be seen that the heating side is black as a whole, which is in sharp contrast to the radiative cooling side. Black materials have better light absorption than other colors under the same conditions, so the heating side can fully absorb sunlight and achieve the purpose of heating.

[0042] Figure 3 The reflectivity curve of the radiative cooling side in the solar spectrum is shown in the figure. It can be found that the radiative cooling side has excellent light reflectivity in the visible light band. Calculation shows that the reflectivity of the radiative cooling side of the multifunctional leather-based wearable material to incident sunlight is about 90.16%. Figure 4 The corresponding reflectivity of the radiative cooling side is shown in the figure, and the emissivity is indirectly calculated by subtracting the reflectivity from 1. High emissivity is a necessary condition for realizing radiative cooling. Only by emitting its own heat and cooperating with high solar reflectivity can the cooling effect be maximized. Calculation shows that the overall emissivity of the solar heating side of the multifunctional leather-based wearable material is about 87.6%. Figure 5 The light absorption rate of the solar heating side is shown in the figure. Light and heat can be converted accordingly, so the greater the light absorption, the faster the temperature rises. Calculation shows that the light absorption rate of the heating layer is about 89%, which can basically meet the use requirements.
