Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of aerogel fibers, and in particular to a heat-generating and heat-retaining nano-aerogel fiber and a preparation method thereof. Background Art

[0002] With the increasing demand for warmth and the rapid development of science and technology, traditional heating materials such as metal wire heating and carbon fiber heating, although they can generate heat, have problems such as uneven heating, poor flexibility and possible electromagnetic radiation. Common thermal insulation materials, cotton fibers have large pores and relatively high thermal conductivity, and their thermal insulation performance cannot meet the needs of extremely cold environments. Although down has good thermal insulation properties, it is easily affected by moisture, and the thermal insulation effect is greatly reduced after moisture. In addition, its resources are limited and the cost is high. Synthetic fibers such as polyester fibers mainly prevent heat loss. When facing extremely cold environments or long-term exposure to cold, their thermal insulation effect gradually cannot meet the needs. In view of this, we propose a heat-generating and thermal-insulating nano-aerogel fiber and a preparation method thereof. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The object of the present invention is to provide a heat-generating and heat-retaining nano-aerogel fiber and a preparation method thereof, so as to solve the problems raised in the above-mentioned background technology.

[0004] To achieve the above-mentioned object, the present invention provides a heat-generating and heat-retaining nano-aerogel fiber, comprising the following components: composite aerogel, modified wool fiber, and phase change material;

[0005] Among them, the composite aerogel is prepared by modifying sodium silicate with boron nitride nanosheets and compounding it with vanadium acetylacetonate.

[0006] Preferably, the preparation method of the composite aerogel is as follows:

[0007] S1.1. Weigh the following components in parts by weight: 50-70 parts by weight of sodium silicate, 10-20 parts by weight of boron nitride nanosheets, and 5-15 parts by weight of vanadyl acetylacetonate;

[0008] S1.2. Dissolve sodium silicate in deionized water to obtain a sodium silicate solution with a mass percentage concentration of 10-30%; ultrasonically disperse the boron nitride nanosheets in ethanol to form a uniform boron nitride nanosheet suspension;

[0009] S1.3. Add the boron nitride nanosheet suspension dropwise to the sodium silicate solution for 0.5-1 h while vigorously stirring at 800-1000 rpm, maintaining the temperature of the mixed solution at 20-40°C; continue stirring at 500-600 rpm for 2-4 h, and adjust the pH of the mixed solution to 8-10 with 0.1-1 mol / L sodium hydroxide solution to obtain a modified sodium silicate solution;

[0010] Borides have special infrared radiation properties. When aerogel is used for heating and warmth preservation, these borides can enhance the aerogel's absorption and emission of infrared radiation. When infrared rays are irradiated on the aerogel, borides can better absorb these infrared rays and convert them into heat energy for storage. At the same time, the aerogel itself also emits infrared rays to maintain the temperature. Borides can improve the efficiency of this infrared emission, thereby enhancing the heating and warmth preservation effect. Borides in aerogel can reduce the effective thermal conductivity of aerogel by scattering and reflecting heat. Their presence changes the heat transfer path in aerogel, making it more difficult for heat to be conducted out through the aerogel, reducing heat loss, and thus improving the heating and warmth preservation performance. In addition, borides can be adsorbed on the surface of the phase change material to form a protective film, so that the phase change material can better play the role of energy storage and release in the nanopores of the aerogel, thereby improving the overall heating and warmth preservation effect.

[0011] Boron nitride particles will intertwine and stack with each other in the aerogel to form a three-dimensional network structure. These particles are combined together through interactions such as van der Waals forces, hydrogen bonds or chemical bonds, forming a relatively uniform distribution in the aerogel. During the preparation process of the aerogel, there will inevitably be some gaps between the particles, and these gaps form the pores of the aerogel.

[0012] Borides have high hardness and good mechanical stability. When they are doped into sodium silicate aerogel, they can strengthen the skeleton structure of the aerogel, making it stronger and reducing structural damage caused by external forces during use, thereby improving the durability of the aerogel.

[0013] S1.4, dissolving vanadyl acetylacetonate in ethanol to obtain a vanadyl acetylacetonate solution with a concentration of 0.1-0.5 mol / L; adding the vanadyl acetylacetonate solution to the modified sodium silicate solution at a rate of 1-2 mL / min while stirring at a speed of 300-600 rpm to obtain a mixed solution;

[0014] Vanadyl acetylacetonate itself has a certain degree of thermal stability and is not easy to decompose under high temperature conditions. Therefore, introducing it into the composite aerogel can help improve the thermal stability of the overall material; in addition, vanadyl acetylacetonate can enhance the structural stability of the aerogel through synergistic effects with other materials (such as sodium silicate and boron nitride nanosheets), so that it can still maintain good mechanical properties under multiple cycles of compression, torsion and other loads.

[0015] S1.5. Add 1-2 mol / L hydrochloric acid solution dropwise to the mixed solution until the pH value of the mixed solution reaches 3-5, thereby forming a gel; and then age the formed gel;

[0016] S1.6. Place the aged gel in an autoclave and perform supercritical drying using carbon dioxide as the supercritical fluid for 10-12 hours to obtain a composite aerogel.

[0017] Preferably, in S1.2, the ultrasonic power is 100-200 W, and the ultrasonic time is 30-60 min.

[0018] Preferably, in S1.5, the aging treatment is to heat the gel at a temperature of 40-60° C. and a relative humidity of 50-70% for 12-48 hours.

[0019] Preferably, in S1.6, supercritical drying is firstly injecting carbon dioxide into an autoclave to make it reach a supercritical state at a temperature of 30-40°C and a high pressure of 7-10 MPa, and then releasing the carbon dioxide to remove the solvent in the gel to obtain a composite aerogel.

[0020] On the other hand, the present invention provides a method for preparing a heat-generating and heat-retaining nano-aerogel fiber, which is used to prepare any of the heat-generating and heat-retaining nano-aerogel fibers described above, comprising the following steps:

[0021] S2.1. Weigh the following components in parts by weight: 50-70 parts by weight of composite aerogel, 20-40 parts by weight of wool fiber, 10-20 parts by weight of phase change material, and 2-5 parts by weight of γ-aminopropyltriethoxysilane;

[0022] S2.2. Dissolve the composite aerogel in ethanol and stir with a magnetic stirrer at 300-400 rpm at room temperature for 3-5 hours to obtain a composite aerogel solution with a mass percent concentration of 15-25%;

[0023] S2.3. Place the phase change material in an oil bath and heat it to 60-70°C until it is completely melted. Stir the melted phase change material to form a uniform liquid phase change material.

[0024] Phase change materials can undergo phase transitions according to temperature changes, from solid to liquid or vice versa. During this process, the phase change material absorbs or releases a large amount of latent heat, and the temperature remains almost unchanged; when the ambient temperature rises, the phase change material melts and absorbs heat, thereby delaying the rise in temperature around the fiber; when the ambient temperature drops, it solidifies and releases heat, slowing down the temperature drop, which enables the heat-generating and warming nano aerogel fiber to automatically adjust the temperature and provide a relatively stable and comfortable thermal environment.

[0025] S2.4. Place the wool fibers in a detergent solution having a mass percentage concentration of 1-2%, and stir and wash at 40-50°C for 30-60 minutes to remove impurities such as grease and dust from the surface of the wool fibers. Rinse the wool fibers with deionized water until the pH value of the rinse solution reaches 6-8, and then dry them in an oven at 60-70°C to constant weight to obtain pretreated wool fibers.

[0026] S2.5. Dissolve γ-aminopropyltriethoxysilane in ethanol to obtain a γ-aminopropyltriethoxysilane solution having a mass percentage concentration of 6-10%; soak the pretreated wool fiber in the γ-aminopropyltriethoxysilane solution. After soaking, dry the wool fiber in an oven at 70-80°C for 1-2 hours to obtain a surface-modified wool fiber;

[0027] γ-aminopropyltriethoxysilane can form a hydrophobic silicone film on the fiber surface, reducing the surface energy of the fiber and making it have better waterproof properties. In a humid environment, it is difficult for moisture to penetrate into the fiber, thereby reducing heat loss caused by moisture absorption and helping to maintain the thermal insulation properties of the fiber; the ethoxy group in γ-aminopropyltriethoxysilane can react with the inorganic components in the aerogel fiber, and the amino group can interact with the organic polymer chain, thereby enhancing the bonding force between the inorganic phase and the organic phase, and significantly improving the mechanical properties of the fiber such as strength and toughness; in addition, the amino group also has certain antibacterial properties, which can inhibit the growth and reproduction of bacteria on the fiber surface, reducing the odor caused by bacterial growth and potential health threats.

[0028] S2.6. Immerse the surface-modified wool fiber in the composite aerogel solution. Simultaneously, add the pretreated liquid phase change material dropwise to the impregnation system at a rate of 1-5 mL / min and stir the impregnation system at a rate of 200-300 rpm for 8-12 h.

[0029] S2.7. After the impregnation is completed, the system containing the wool fiber is taken out from the solution for gelation reaction; after the gelation reaction is completed, carbon dioxide is used as a supercritical fluid and supercritical drying is carried out at a temperature of 35-40°C and a pressure of 8-9MPa. The drying time is 12-24h to obtain heat-generating and heat-retaining nano aerogel fibers.

[0030] Preferably, the phase change material is palmitic acid or myristic acid.

[0031] Preferably, in S2.3, the stirring speed after melting is 400-600 rpm, and the stirring time is 10-15 min.

[0032] Preferably, in S2.5, the soaking temperature is 35-45° C., and the soaking time is 3-5 hours.

[0033] Preferably, in S2.7, the gelation reaction is performed by placing the system containing the wool fibers in a constant temperature and humidity chamber, with the temperature set to 45-55°C, the relative humidity set to 55-65%, and the gelation time being 18-30 hours.

[0034] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0035] 1. In this heat-generating and thermal-insulating nano-aerogel fiber and its preparation method, the addition of boride can absorb infrared radiation and convert it into thermal energy, thereby improving the heating efficiency of the fiber; at the same time, the boride can also enhance the infrared emission ability of the fiber itself. When the fiber temperature rises, it can better dissipate heat in the form of infrared radiation to maintain a warm environment around it; in addition, when heat is transferred in the fiber, the boride will cause the heat to scatter and reflect, increasing the resistance to heat transfer, thereby reducing the effective thermal conductivity of the fiber, which enables the fiber to better prevent heat loss and improve thermal insulation performance.

[0036] 2. In this kind of heat-generating and heat-insulating nano-aerogel fiber and its preparation method, vanadium acetylacetonate itself has a certain thermal stability and is not easy to decompose under high temperature conditions. Therefore, introducing it into the composite aerogel can help improve the thermal stability of the overall material; in addition, vanadium acetylacetonate can enhance the structural stability of the aerogel through synergistic effects with other materials (such as sodium silicate and boron nitride nanosheets), so that it can still maintain good mechanical properties under multiple cycles of compression, twisting and other loads.

[0147] Comparative Example 1

[0148] The method of Example 6 was adopted, using uncompounded aerogel.

[0149] Comparative Example 2

[0150] The method of Example 6 was adopted without adding vanadyl acetylacetonate.

[0151] Comparative Example 3

[0152] The method of Example 6 was used to remove γ-aminopropyltriethoxysilane.

[0153] Comparative Example 4

[0154] The phase change material is removed using the method of Example 6.

[0155] The present invention discloses a heat-generating and heat-retaining nano-aerogel fiber prepared by composite aerogel and a preparation method thereof. The performance index inspection items and inspection standards of the heat-generating and heat-retaining nano-aerogel fiber are as follows:

[0156] Referring to the standard GB / T 10294-2008, the thermal conductivity of the fiber is measured to evaluate its thermal insulation performance. The lower the thermal conductivity, the better the thermal insulation performance of the fiber.

[0157] Accurately weigh a certain mass of fiber sample and place it in the sample cell of the differential scanning calorimeter. At the same time, place an equal amount of thermally inert material as a reference in the reference cell. Set the appropriate temperature scanning range and heating rate, start the instrument for testing, and record the curve of the heat flow signal changing with temperature to obtain the thermal performance parameters of the material such as phase change temperature and phase change enthalpy, and then calculate the heat storage efficiency. Generally, a higher heat storage efficiency means that the fiber can better store and release heat, providing a more lasting warmth effect.

[0158] The heat-generating and heat-retaining nano-aerogel fibers prepared in Examples 1-7 and Comparative Examples 1-4 were tested according to the above standards, and the obtained data are shown in Table 1:

[0159] Table 1 Performance data of heat-generating and heat-retaining nano-aerogel fibers of Examples 1-7 and Comparative Examples 1-4

[0160] Table 1

[0161]

[0162] It can be seen from Examples 1-4 that: when the mass ratio of boride to sodium silicate in the composite aerogel gradually increases, the thermal conductivity of the nano aerogel fiber gradually decreases and the heat storage efficiency gradually increases. However, when the mass ratio of boride to sodium silicate reaches a certain value, the thermal conductivity of the nano aerogel fiber increases significantly and the heat storage efficiency decreases significantly. It can be seen that with the increase of the mass ratio of boride, the thermal conductivity and heat storage efficiency of the nano aerogel fiber are improved, but excessive increase may increase the thermal conductivity of the nano aerogel fiber and reduce the heat storage efficiency.

[0163] Specifically, as the proportion of boride increases, the aerogel fiber may be promoted to form a more uniform, fine and continuous nanoporous network structure. This structure can effectively extend the heat transfer path, making it more difficult for heat to be conducted inside the fiber, thereby reducing the thermal conductivity coefficient; an appropriate increase in the boride content usually leads to an increase in the specific surface area of ​​the nano aerogel fiber. A larger specific surface area means that the fiber has more contact area with the external environment and can better absorb and store heat; during the heat storage process, heat can be more fully distributed on the surface and internal pores of the fiber, thereby improving the heat storage efficiency.

[0164] A chemical reaction occurs between boride and sodium silicate to form a chemical bond. This chemical bonding can enhance the structural stability of the material and reduce heat loss caused by molecular vibration and thermal motion. At the same time, the presence of chemical bonds will also require heat to overcome a higher energy barrier during the transfer process, further reducing the thermal conductivity. In addition, the stable structure helps to maintain the storage state of heat inside the material, improving the heat storage efficiency, enabling it to store heat more effectively and release it slowly when needed.

[0165] Furthermore, by comparing Example 5, Example 6 and Example 7, it can be seen that when other components remain unchanged, only when the proportion of composite aerogel gradually increases, the thermal conductivity of the nano aerogel fiber is significantly reduced and the heat storage efficiency is significantly increased. It can be seen that special interface structures are formed between different components in the composite aerogel. These interfaces can act as a thermal insulation barrier. When heat is transferred to the interface, due to the difference in thermal conductivity of different materials and the scattering effect of the interface, the heat transfer will be significantly hindered, which is similar to setting a barrier on the heat conduction path, further reducing the heat transfer efficiency and reducing the thermal conductivity. Some components in the composite aerogel may undergo phase change when the temperature changes, absorbing or releasing a large amount of latent heat, thereby improving the heat storage capacity of the material; while other components can serve as a supporting skeleton or heat conduction channel to ensure the effective transfer and uniform distribution of heat inside the material, so that the heat storage efficiency is significantly improved.

[0166] Comparing Example 6 with Comparative Example 1, it can be seen that when uncompounded aerogel is used, the thermal conductivity of the nano aerogel fiber is significantly increased, and the heat storage efficiency is significantly reduced.

[0167] Taking Example 6 as the optimal example and combining it with Comparative Example 2, it can be seen that in the composite aerogel preparation method, when vanadyl acetylacetonate is not added, the thermal conductivity of the nano aerogel fiber is significantly increased and the heat storage efficiency is significantly reduced;

[0168] Without the addition of vanadium acetylacetonate, the thermal stability of the aerogel decreases, resulting in a weakening of its heat storage capacity at high temperatures; in addition, the thermal insulation performance of the aerogel depends on the stability of its nanoscale pore structure. If the pore structure is destroyed or unstable, its thermal insulation performance will be significantly reduced.

[0169] Example 6 is the best example, and combined with Comparative Example 3, it can be seen that when γ-aminopropyltriethoxysilane is removed, the thermal conductivity of the nano aerogel fiber is significantly increased, and the heat storage efficiency is significantly reduced;

[0170] During the preparation process of nano-aerogel fibers, γ-aminopropyltriethoxysilane can be hydrolyzed to form trace particles, providing crystallization centers for the precipitation of silicic acid. If a large number of crystallization centers are formed, then during the aerogel preparation process, these crystallization centers will compete with each other for growth space, resulting in relatively small and more evenly distributed aerogel pores, which reduces the thermal conductivity. If it is removed, the pores of the aerogel fibers will become larger, resulting in a smoother heat conduction path in the aerogel fibers, thereby significantly increasing the thermal conductivity, further affecting the crystallization process, and failing to form an effective heat storage structure, which reduces the material's ability to store heat and significantly reduces the heat storage efficiency.

[0171] Example 6 is the best example, and combined with Comparative Example 4, it can be seen that when the phase change material is removed, the thermal conductivity of the nano aerogel fiber increases significantly, and the heat storage efficiency decreases significantly;

[0172] Phase change materials can play a role in increasing thermal resistance in nano aerogel fibers. When phase change materials are present, the heat transfer process needs to overcome the energy barrier when the phase change material undergoes phase change, thereby hindering the rapid transfer of heat and reducing the thermal conductivity. When the phase change material is removed, this thermal resistance disappears, and heat is more easily conducted through the aerogel fiber, resulting in a significant increase in thermal conductivity. Phase change materials can undergo phase change within a specific temperature range and absorb or release a large amount of latent heat to store and release energy, thereby improving heat storage efficiency. When the phase change material is removed, the nano aerogel fiber loses this efficient phase change latent heat energy storage mechanism and can only rely on its own sensible heat to store heat. The sensible heat energy storage capacity is relatively weak, resulting in a significant reduction in heat storage efficiency.
