Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of material preparation, and specifically relates to a method for preparing a WO3-CA composite porous electrochromic glass film. Background Art
[0002] According to statistics, the energy consumption of the construction industry accounts for 28% of the total energy consumption in the country, second only to industry. Therefore, taking energy-saving measures to improve buildings will significantly reduce energy consumption. Building energy-saving measures mainly focus on environmental control designs such as indoor temperature and brightness. At present, the proportion of glass used in modern building exterior walls is increasing. Statistics show that the heat loss caused by windows in ordinary residences in summer and winter accounts for 71% and 48% of the total energy consumption of buildings, respectively. Therefore, the energy-saving problems that need to be urgently solved in the construction industry are mainly concentrated on the energy-saving performance of glass doors and windows. Under the current situation, a series of energy-saving glasses have emerged on the market, such as heat-absorbing glass, low-emissivity glass, and heat-reflecting glass. However, these glasses have fixed adjustments to sunlight after production, and cannot be adjusted according to environmental changes, so it is difficult to meet all-weather energy-saving needs. This urgently requires the development of a glass with intelligent adjustment function. In this research boom, color-changing materials came into being. The emergence of color-changing materials marks a new step in the utilization of solar energy and provides a new solution for energy saving and environmental protection.
[0003] Since it was first proposed in 1953, electrochromic technology has received widespread attention and has shown great commercial potential. It is widely used in fields such as building smart windows, car sunroofs and aircraft windows. Early research focused on the development of electrochromic materials and devices. In the 1980s, electrochromic technology based on transition metal oxides began to receive attention, and it was generally believed that this technology was of great significance for energy-saving windows. In the early 1990s, the Granquvist team proposed a new smart window based on electrochromic film, aiming to apply electrochromic materials to the field of smart windows. Subsequently, SAGE, an American company, took the lead in commercializing electrochromic smart window products, laying the foundation for the development of this technology. The first International Conference on Electrochromism was successfully held in 1994. The conference mainly discussed the characteristics of electrochromic materials, electrochromic devices, and electrolytes in electrochromic applications. In 2005 and 2008, electrochromic glass was used on the roof and windshield of the sports car produced by the Italian Ferrari company and the cabin windows of the American Boeing 787 aircraft. The French Saint-Gobain Group announced its entry into the smart window industry in 2009. China's first electrochromic website was established in September of the same year. The core technology of electrochromic, especially the research methods of all-solid-state electrochromic devices, is currently mainly in the hands of Europe, Japan and the United States. Relatively speaking, my country started late in the field of electrochromic, but with the unremitting efforts of domestic universities and research institutes, it has also achieved remarkable results.
[0004] Electrochromism refers to the phenomenon that when a certain voltage is applied, the optical properties of the material (transmittance, absorption and reflectivity of light) undergo reversible changes, and its color change can be characterized by different parameters in the color space. From the perspective of the electromagnetic spectrum, reversible changes can occur in the ultraviolet to microwave region, and devices with electrochromic effects are electrochromic devices (ECDs). Electrochromic materials can be divided into three categories according to their structure and chemical properties, namely organic electrochromic materials, inorganic electrochromic materials and composite electrochromic materials. Commonly used inorganic color-changing materials are mainly WO3, TiO2, NiO, etc. Among them, tungsten trioxide (WO3) is considered to be the most promising electrochromic material for large-scale industrialization due to its excellent electrochromic performance and relatively low cost. However, WO3 still has some defects in color change efficiency, light adjustment range and cycle life, which restrict its further development in the industrial field. Therefore, how to improve the color change efficiency of WO3, expand its light adjustment range and increase the cycle life has become the key to improving the electrochromic performance of WO3 film.
