Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of energy-saving and emission-reduction smart materials and infrared camouflage materials preparation. Background Technology

[0002] With increasing global attention to climate change, zero-energy thermal management materials, such as radiative cooling, have garnered widespread interest. However, traditional radiative cooling materials primarily rely on their inherent properties for passive cooling, failing to meet the thermal management needs of changing environments and easily leading to overcooling or overheating, resulting in additional energy consumption. Simultaneously, with the rapid development of modern warfare reconnaissance technologies and precision-guided weapons, infrared thermal imaging technology is increasingly widely used, becoming a crucial tool for battlefield reconnaissance and guided weapons, placing higher demands on stealth technologies that conceal the infrared radiation characteristics of targets. Currently used static infrared camouflage loses its stealth effect when the environment changes due to inconsistencies between the stealth material and the background spectral signal. Dynamic temperature adaptive control materials, on the other hand, introduce the concepts of adaptability and intelligent control, dynamically adjusting their optical properties to respond to external changes. They can dynamically adjust their performance according to changes in external conditions or user needs, thereby achieving efficient and flexible thermal management and thermal camouflage performance in a wider range of scenarios.

[0003] While researchers have achieved dynamic tunability of radiation performance in recent years through responses to temperature, humidity, voltage, and mechanical force, utilizing the dynamic infrared emissivity of materials to respond to external stimuli and thus dynamically stabilize temperature in fluctuating thermal environments, most adaptive thermal control materials are fabricated on rigid substrates. These materials require specially designed optical structures, resulting in high costs, complex designs, and limited flexibility in substrate selection based on application environments. VO2, as a typical thermo-induced phase change material, exhibits a 3-4 order of magnitude abrupt change in conductivity before and after the phase change, and its emissivity shows a negative differential change. This makes it highly suitable for preparing coatings that, when paired with appropriate application substrates, achieve positive / negative differential emissivity performance. However, currently common VO2 coatings can only achieve temperature-adaptive thermal radiation control for a single performance characteristic, only achieving amplitude control in radiative cooling or only in thermal camouflage. Summary of the Invention

[0004] This invention aims to address the problem that existing VO2 coatings can only achieve amplitude regulation in terms of radiative cooling or only in terms of thermal camouflage, and provides a dynamic thermal management coating with temperature-adaptive thermal radiation regulation performance, its preparation method, and its application.

[0005] A dynamic thermal management coating with temperature-adaptive thermal radiation regulation performance is prepared by mass fractions of 1 to 1000 parts rod-shaped VO2 micro / nano powder, 800 to 1000 parts solvent, 20 to 30 parts dispersant, 40 to 60 parts defoamer, 1000 to 1999 parts binder, 10 to 20 parts thickener and 10 to 20 parts leveling agent.

[0006] A method for preparing a dynamic thermal management coating with temperature-adaptive thermal radiation regulation performance, comprising the following steps:

[0007] I. Preparation of rod-shaped VO2 micro / nano powder:

[0008] Vanadium pentoxide powder and oxalic acid dihydrate powder were added sequentially to deionized water and mixed thoroughly under magnetic stirring until the solution changed from yellow to green and finally to dark blue, resulting in a mixture. The mixture was then subjected to hydrothermal reaction at 220℃~240℃ for 1h~6h. After cooling to room temperature, the mixture was washed and centrifuged to obtain a dark black precipitate, i.e., VO2(B). The dark black precipitate was dried and then heat-treated at 500℃~550℃ for 30min~2h under an argon atmosphere to obtain rod-shaped VO2 micro / nano powder, i.e., VO2(M).

[0009] The mass ratio of vanadium pentoxide powder to oxalic acid dihydrate powder is 1:(1.25-1.6); the mass ratio of vanadium pentoxide powder to deionized water is 1g:(40-50)mL.

[0010] II. Preparation of VO2 coatings:

[0011] Weigh out 1 to 1000 parts by weight of rod-shaped VO2 micro / nano powder, 800 to 1000 parts of solvent, 20 to 30 parts of dispersant, 40 to 60 parts of defoamer, 1000 to 1999 parts of binder, 10 to 20 parts of thickener, and 10 to 20 parts of leveling agent. Mix 1 to 1000 parts of rod-shaped VO2 micro / nano powder, 800 to 1000 parts of solvent, 20 to 30 parts of dispersant, and 40 to 60 parts of defoamer evenly, and then pre-disperse to obtain a pre-dispersed slurry. Then add 1000 to 1999 parts of binder, 10 to 20 parts of thickener, and 10 to 20 parts of leveling agent to the pre-dispersed slurry for dispersion to obtain a dynamic thermal management coating with temperature-adaptive thermal radiation regulation performance.

[0012] An application of a dynamic thermal management coating with temperature-adaptive thermal radiation regulation performance is disclosed. It is applied to a high-reflectivity substrate and a high-emissivity substrate. When applied to a high-reflectivity substrate, it achieves thermally driven adaptive thermal control. When applied to a high-emissivity substrate, it achieves thermally driven adaptive thermal camouflage.

[0013] The beneficial effects of this invention are:

[0014] This invention selects a VO2 rod-shaped structure as the functional phase, which can play a role in dynamic thermal management and thermal camouflage. Compared with the commonly used spherical and linear structures, the rod-shaped structure is an intermediate state, which can realize the functions of both states. Therefore, by adjusting the distribution of the functional phase in the coating, the overlapping structure of the functional phase in the coating can be controlled, and the switching between positive differential emissivity performance and negative differential emissivity performance can be achieved.

[0015] At low temperatures, VO2(M) is in an insulating state, and the functional layer is in a state of high infrared transmittance; the overall effect is dominated by the substrate. At high temperatures, VO2 transforms into the R phase. High-content VO2 rod-shaped particles overlap each other, transforming into a metallic phase with high reflectivity and reduced emissivity, meeting the requirements for infrared camouflage. Low-content VO2 rod-shaped particles form adjacent antennas, utilizing the inter-regional photon resonance phenomenon to increase emissivity, meeting the requirements for intelligent thermal control.

[0016] Therefore, this invention utilizes the abrupt change in conductivity of VO2 powder before and after phase transition, and mixes it with an appropriate amount of infrared transparent solvent and binder to prepare a heat-driven adaptive thermal radiation control coating. Based on the substrate on which the coating is applied and the change in the content of functional particles in the coating, a heat-driven adaptive thermal control coating with reversible emissivity change with ambient temperature on a high reflectivity substrate can be obtained, exhibiting a positive differential emissivity change; or a heat-driven adaptive thermal camouflage coating with reversible emissivity change with ambient temperature on a high emissivity substrate can be obtained, exhibiting a negative differential emissivity change.

[0017] Therefore, this invention can achieve dynamic thermal management to maintain the temperature requirements of combat personnel and reduce the probability of detection by the enemy in terms of infrared camouflage by simply adjusting the concentration of the coating, thereby significantly improving the safety of combat personnel. The temperature-adaptive thermal radiation control coating involved in this invention has relaxed preparation conditions, is easy to mass-produce, has low production costs and low application environment requirements, and is suitable for dynamically controlling infrared radiation characteristics according to environmental requirements, improving the material's autonomous thermal control capability, and achieving energy-saving / camouflage effects.

[0018] This invention relates to a dynamic thermal management coating with temperature-adaptive thermal radiation regulation performance, its preparation method, and its application. Attached Figure Description

[0022] The beneficial effects of this embodiment are:

[0023] This embodiment selects a VO2 rod-shaped structure as the functional phase, which can play a role in dynamic thermal management and thermal camouflage. Compared with the commonly used spherical and linear structures, the rod-shaped structure is an intermediate state, which can realize the functions of both states. Therefore, by adjusting the distribution of the functional phase in the coating, the overlapping structure of the functional phase in the coating can be controlled, and the switching between positive differential emissivity performance and negative differential emissivity performance can be realized.

[0024] At low temperatures, VO2(M) is in an insulating state, and the functional layer is in a state of high infrared transmittance; the overall effect is dominated by the substrate. At high temperatures, VO2 transforms into the R phase. High-content VO2 rod-shaped particles overlap each other, transforming into a metallic phase with high reflectivity and reduced emissivity, meeting the requirements for infrared camouflage. Low-content VO2 rod-shaped particles form adjacent antennas, utilizing the inter-regional photon resonance phenomenon to increase emissivity, meeting the requirements for intelligent thermal control.

[0025] Therefore, this embodiment utilizes the characteristic of the abrupt change in conductivity of VO2 powder before and after phase transition, and mixes it with an appropriate amount of infrared transparent solvent and binder to prepare a heat-driven adaptive thermal radiation control coating. Based on the substrate on which the coating is applied and the change in the content of functional particles in the coating, a heat-driven adaptive thermal control coating with reversible conversion of emissivity with ambient temperature on a high reflectivity substrate can be obtained, which exhibits a positive differential emissivity change; or a heat-driven adaptive thermal camouflage coating with reversible conversion of emissivity with ambient temperature on a high emissivity substrate can be obtained, which exhibits a negative differential emissivity change.

[0026] Therefore, this embodiment can achieve the maintenance of personnel's temperature requirements in dynamic thermal management and reduce the probability of detection by the enemy in terms of infrared camouflage by simply adjusting the coating concentration, thereby significantly improving the safety of personnel. The temperature-adaptive thermal radiation control coating involved in this embodiment has relaxed preparation conditions, is easy to mass-produce, has low production costs and low application environment requirements, and is suitable for dynamic control of infrared radiation characteristics according to environmental requirements, improving the material's autonomous thermal control capability and achieving energy-saving / camouflage effects.

It is done in the following steps: I. Preparation of rod-shaped VO2 micro / nano powder: Vanadium pentoxide powder and oxalic acid dihydrate powder were added sequentially to deionized water and mixed thoroughly under magnetic stirring until the solution changed from yellow to green and finally to dark blue, resulting in a mixture. The mixture was then subjected to hydrothermal reaction at 220℃~240℃ for 1h~6h. After cooling to room temperature, the mixture was washed and centrifuged to obtain a dark black precipitate, i.e., VO2(B). The dark black precipitate was dried and then heat-treated at 500℃~550℃ for 30min~2h under an argon atmosphere to obtain rod-shaped VO2 micro / nano powder, i.e., VO2(M). The mass ratio of vanadium pentoxide powder to oxalic acid dihydrate powder is 1:(1.25~1.6); the mass ratio of vanadium pentoxide powder to deionized water is 1g:(40~50)mL. II.
