Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of nano coatings, and in particular to a super-hydrophilic self-cleaning all-inorganic nano coating and a coating preparation method. Background Art

[0002] With the development of society, the progress of architectural technology and glass manufacturing level, and the increasing requirements of people for the beauty and comfort of buildings, the continuous innovation and progress of glass curtain wall technology have been promoted. Due to its beautiful appearance and good transparency, glass curtain walls have been widely used in modern buildings. After the promotion and application of glass curtain walls, it was found that there are still the following major problems: First, the temperature difference between the inside and outside causes the moisture in the air to condense and fog on its surface, reducing its visibility and affecting the use effect; second, pollutants such as dust and grease in the air are easy to adhere to its surface and affect the appearance and sight, which is also the biggest problem in the application of glass curtain walls. Although this problem can be cleaned manually, the difficulty and price of cleaning are very high. Therefore, the active exploration and development of glass coatings with self-cleaning functions by scientific and technological workers has become a hot topic in current research.

[0003] The prior art uses the sol-gel pulling method to prepare a SiO2-based super-hydrophilic self-cleaning coating with good anti-fouling effect, but the raw materials used in the preparation method are complex and contain a variety of organic components, which will cause secondary pollution to the environment when used. There is also a method of introducing tannic acid (TA) to modify CNTs after oxidation by the Fenton method to improve its dispersibility, and then mixing it evenly with dendritic nano-SiO2 sol and tetraethyl orthosilicate (TEOS) hydrolyzate, and then spraying the solution onto a white glass substrate through a low-cost spraying process, and finally curing it at room temperature to obtain a black transparent super-hydrophilic coating. However, anhydrous ethanol is used as a solvent in the preparation, and it needs to be carried out under acidic conditions during the preparation and construction process, which not only pollutes the environment, but also has a high cost and is not conducive to industrial production.

[0004] In view of this, it is necessary to develop a super hydrophilic self-cleaning all-inorganic nano coating and a coating preparation method. Summary of the invention
