[0052] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be described clearly and completely below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments of the present application. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all the other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative work fall within the protection scope of the present application.
[0053] Embodiment one: the present application discloses a smart curtain.
[0054] Specifically, please refer to Figure 1 the present application discloses a smart curtain,
[0055] The intelligent curtain 100 takes a flexible transparent material with thermal expansion and contraction performance as a base layer 101, and a thermochromic layer 102 is compounded on the surface of the base layer.
[0056] In the intelligent curtain 100 described in the embodiment, the flexible transparent material includes polyethylene (PE) and polyester (PET). The base layer 101 can be in the form of a PE tape and a PET tape. In the embodiment, the flexible transparent material needs to have obvious thermal expansion and contraction effect, and other aspects of the flexible transparent material are not specifically limited, and can be selected by a person skilled in the art according to actual needs. In the embodiment, the preferred flexible transparent material includes one or more of the PE tape and the PET tape, and the PE tape is most preferred. In the embodiment, the thickness of the base layer 101 is not specifically limited, and can be adjusted and selected by a person skilled in the art according to actual production conditions, performance and quality requirements of the base layer 101. In the embodiment, the thickness of the preferred base layer 101 is less than or equal to 100 μm, more preferably less than or equal to 80 μm, more preferably less than or equal to 60 μm, and most preferably 50 μm.
[0057] In the intelligent curtain 100 described in the embodiment, the thermochromic layer 102 includes bacterial cellulose and tungsten-doped vanadium dioxide nanowires. The thermochromic layer 102 can be obtained by co-assembly of bacterial cellulose dispersion and tungsten-doped vanadium dioxide nanowire solution. The bacterial cellulose dispersion and the tungsten-doped vanadium dioxide nanowire solution are mixed and stirred uniformly, and then poured into a vacuum filtration device for filtration. At this time, most of the water is removed through the filter paper, and the diameters of the bacterial cellulose and the tungsten-doped vanadium dioxide nanowires are greater than the pore size of the filter paper, so they do not pass through the filter paper but are accumulated on the filter paper, thereby forming the thermochromic layer 102.
[0058] In the embodiment, the volume ratio of the bacterial cellulose dispersion and the tungsten-doped vanadium dioxide nanowire solution used in the co-assembly is not specifically limited, and can be adjusted and selected by a person skilled in the art according to actual production conditions, performance and quality requirements of the thermochromic layer 102. In the embodiment, to improve the thermochromic performance of the thermochromic layer 102 and balance the light transmittance of the thermochromic layer 102, the volume ratio of the bacterial cellulose dispersion and the tungsten-doped vanadium dioxide nanowire solution can be 1:0.025 to 1:0.25, more preferably 1:0.05 to 1:0.2, and most preferably 1:0.05 to 1:0.1.
[0059] In the smart curtain 100 described in the embodiment, the concentration of the bacterial cellulose dispersion solution in the thermochromic layer 102 can be 0.111 g / mL, and the concentration of the tungsten-doped vanadium dioxide nanowire solution can be 0.010 g / mL. In the embodiment, the source of the bacterial cellulose dispersion solution and the tungsten-doped vanadium dioxide nanowire solution is not particularly limited, and can be prepared by a method known to those skilled in the art or purchased from the market.
[0060] In the smart curtain 100 described in the embodiment, the diameter of the bacterial cellulose in the bacterial cellulose dispersion solution can range from 50 to 100 nm, and the length of the bacterial cellulose can be 20 μm. The diameter of the tungsten-doped vanadium dioxide nanowire can range from 100 to 280 nm, and the length of the tungsten-doped vanadium dioxide nanowire can range from 15 to 30 μm. The mole fraction of tungsten doped in the tungsten-doped vanadium dioxide nanowire can range from 2 to 7%.
[0061] In the smart curtain 100 described in the embodiment, the thickness of the thermochromic layer 102 is not particularly limited, and can be adjusted and selected by those skilled in the art according to the actual production situation, the performance and quality requirements of the thermochromic layer 102. In the embodiment, the thickness of the thermochromic layer 102 is preferably greater than the diameter of the tungsten-doped vanadium dioxide nanowire, more preferably greater than or equal to 5 μm, more preferably greater than or equal to 10 μm, and most preferably greater than or equal to 20 μm.
[0062] The thermal expansion coefficients of the base layer 101 and the thermochromic layer 102 are different, and the smart curtain 100 deforms according to the light or temperature in combination with the difference in thermal expansion coefficients.
[0063] Thermal expansion effect is a very common phenomenon in nature. For example, a mercury thermometer can be prepared by using the property of mercury that its volume expands when heated. In the smart curtain 100 described in the embodiment, the thermal expansion coefficient of the base layer 101 is high, and the thermal expansion coefficient of the thermochromic layer 102 is low. When the two layers are heated due to light or ambient temperature change, the deformation of the base layer 101 is much larger than that of the thermochromic layer 102, thereby causing the smart curtain 100 to deform. Specifically, the thermal expansion effect can be measured by the thermal expansion coefficient. The commonly used coefficient is the linear expansion coefficient, which is the ratio of the length change of the material to be measured in a certain direction to the length of the material to be measured at a certain temperature per unit temperature change. Figure 2a A diagram showing the difference in thermal expansion coefficients of the base layer and the thermochromic layer disclosed in the embodiments of the present application is shown in FIG. 1. As shown in FIG. 1, when the PE tape is used as the base layer 101 and the tungsten-doped vanadium dioxide nanowire is used as the thermochromic layer 102, there is a large difference in the thermal expansion coefficients of the PE tape and the tungsten-doped vanadium dioxide nanowire. As the temperature rises, the PE tape continuously and dramatically deforms, while the deformation of the tungsten-doped vanadium dioxide nanowire is very small. Figure 2a A diagram showing the difference in thermal expansion coefficients of the base layer and the thermochromic layer disclosed in the embodiments of the present application is shown in FIG. 1. As shown in FIG. 1, when the PE tape is used as the base layer 101 and the tungsten-doped vanadium dioxide nanowire is used as the thermochromic layer 102, there is a large difference in the thermal expansion coefficients of the PE tape and the tungsten-doped vanadium dioxide nanowire. As the temperature rises, the PE tape continuously and dramatically deforms, while the deformation of the tungsten-doped vanadium dioxide nanowire is very small.
[0064] Tungsten-doped nanometer vanadium dioxide has excellent optical properties, mainly including adjustable transmittance characteristics of visible light and infrared light. In the smart curtain 100 described in the embodiment, the thermochromic layer 102 made of tungsten-doped vanadium dioxide nanowires can change the light transmittance of the smart curtain 100 according to light or temperature. Figure 2b The transmittance change diagram of the smart curtain disclosed in the embodiment of the application is shown in Figure 2b As shown, when the thermochromic layer 102 is made using 0.75 mL of tungsten-doped vanadium dioxide nanowire solution, the transmittance of the smart curtain 100 changes as the temperature rises. It can be seen that the transmittance of the smart curtain 100 is higher at a lower temperature (20°C), and the transmittance of the smart curtain 100 is lower at a higher temperature (50°C). Among them, the transmittance mainly changes is the transmittance of near-infrared light, which shows that the smart curtain described in the embodiment can excellently complete the task of adjusting the transmittance to modulate the light entering the indoor room in the face of normal outdoor environment outdoor light / visible light / sunlight.
[0065] Embodiment two: based on the smart curtain disclosed in the above embodiment, the embodiment corresponds to disclose a preparation method of a smart curtain, for preparing the above smart curtain. Please refer to Figure 2c , the preparation method of the smart curtain comprises:
[0066] Step 201: adding bacterial cellulose into deionized water to prepare a bacterial cellulose dispersion.
[0067] Among them, deionized water refers to pure water after removing ionic impurities. In the method described in the embodiment, deionized water is used as a solvent to obtain a bacterial cellulose dispersion.
[0068] Step 202: adding tungsten-doped vanadium dioxide nanowire solution into the bacterial cellulose dispersion and stirring to form a uniform mixed solution.
[0069] In the method described in the embodiment, the source of tungsten-doped vanadium dioxide nanowire solution is not particularly limited, which can be prepared by a method well known to those skilled in the art or purchased from the market. The preferred preparation method of tungsten-doped vanadium dioxide nanowire solution can be according to the synthesis method reported in the literature (Optical Materials, 2019, Vol. 97, page 109367) and using ethanol solution as a solvent.
[0070] Step 203: vacuum filtration of the mixed solution to obtain a thermochromic layer.
[0071] In the method described in this embodiment, the mixed solution is poured into a glass sand core filtering device with filter paper, and the thermochromic layer can be obtained by vacuum filtration for a period of time (e.g., 20 minutes). The purpose of this step is to remove the water in the mixed solution and make the liquid mixed solution into a solid thermochromic layer. The method described in this embodiment does not have specific limitations on the equipment for vacuum filtration technology, and any equipment known to those skilled in the art can be used, and the preferred equipment is a glass sand core filtering device.
[0072] After that, the thermochromic layer can also be placed on a heating table at a preset temperature (e.g., 60°C) for constant temperature treatment for a period of time (e.g., 3 hours), so as to better remove the remaining water in the thermochromic layer. The method described in this embodiment does not have specific limitations on the equipment for constant temperature treatment technology, and any equipment known to those skilled in the art can be used, and the preferred equipment is an electric heating constant temperature air drying oven.

[0074] Step 204: Transfer the thermochromic layer to the substrate layer to obtain an intelligent curtain.
[0075] In the method described in this embodiment, when the substrate layer is a PE adhesive tape, the thermochromic layer can be transferred from the filter paper to the PE adhesive tape by using the strong adhesion between the PE adhesive tape and the thermochromic layer, and the desired shape can be obtained by cutting and designing to obtain an intelligent curtain.
[0076] After that, the intelligent curtain can also be pre-crimped and wrapped with an aluminum foil on the outside of the intelligent curtain. The wrapped intelligent curtain is placed in an oven for shaping, and then the aluminum foil is removed after the intelligent curtain is shaped to obtain a shaped intelligent curtain. The method described in this embodiment does not have specific limitations on the shaping step, and those skilled in the art can adjust and select according to the actual production situation, the performance and quality requirements of the intelligent curtain. The preferred step is to place the wrapped intelligent curtain in an electric heating constant temperature air drying oven at 60°C for 12 hours for shaping.
