TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The application relates to the field of solid-state refrigeration technology, and particularly relates to an application method of a graphene paper-cut configuration in solid-state refrigeration. BACKGROUND
[0002] Solid-state refrigeration technology is widely considered as one of the most promising technologies to replace traditional gas compression refrigeration due to its many advantages, especially the refrigeration scheme based on solid-state phase change heat effect (such as magnetic caloric effect, electric caloric effect, elastic caloric effect and pressure caloric effect). By applying an external field to induce reversible thermal change of the material, high-efficiency energy conversion can be achieved. This kind of technology has the characteristics of low energy consumption, low noise, low maintenance cost and zero carbon emission, and has broad application prospects in the fields of aerospace and space exploration, electronic equipment cooling, medical and biotechnology, household appliance industry and the like. From the aspects of environmental protection, economy, feasibility and foresight, solid-state refrigeration technology has become an important research direction of the next generation of green refrigeration technology.
[0003] However, the existing solid-state refrigeration material usually needs a driving field of hundreds of megapascals or more, and the refrigeration region is limited near the phase change point. At the same time, the low thermal conductivity limits the heat transfer, making it difficult to realize large-scale application. Therefore, how to fundamentally improve the comprehensive performance of solid-state refrigeration material has become the forefront and core problem in this field. In recent years, the rapid development of two-dimensional materials has provided a new way out for this problem. Since 2004, graphene was first peeled off from graphite, and people found that two-dimensional materials can exist stably at room temperature and pressure. As a two-dimensional carbon material with excellent electrical conductivity, thermal conductivity, mechanical strength and chemical stability, graphene has shown wide application prospects in new energy, environmental protection, medical treatment, electronics and other fields due to its unique physical and chemical properties. In 2024, researchers discovered a huge elastic caloric effect on paper-cut graphene, which provided a new idea and understanding for the field of solid-state refrigeration. By applying the paper-cut configuration to thermoplastic polyurethane elastomer, the effectiveness of the paper-cut strategy was confirmed. Compared with traditional refrigeration materials relying on phase change temperature, this material can realize refrigeration application in a wide temperature range of 100-600K, but the adiabatic temperature change is 14K, which still has room for improvement.
[0004] The thermal conductivity of graphene can reach thousands, which is the required property of solid-state refrigeration material, but its high stress and high cost limit large-scale application. Therefore, researchers use paper-cut technology to modify graphene to form a graphene paper-cut configuration. This technology introduces an out-of-plane flipping region during stretching, greatly reducing the driving force of graphene. Introducing this new material into the field of solid-state refrigeration will be helpful to promote the practical process of solid-state refrigeration technology. SUMMARY

[0064] Embodiments of the present application are described below in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings, examples of which are shown in the drawings, wherein the same or similar numerals represent the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below by reference to the drawings are exemplary and are intended to explain the present application, and cannot be understood as a limitation of the present application.
[0065] The present application proposes an application method of graphene paper-cutting configuration in solid-state refrigeration, in order to obtain excellent comprehensive refrigeration performance in configuration materials. The described embodiments are only a part of the present application, not all. It should be noted that in the specific embodiments, the software calculation part involved is based on molecular dynamics, and the LAMMPS program commonly used in the industry is used for calculation, so as to obtain the data in each step of the present application efficiently and accurately.
[0066] Therefore, referring to Figure 1 and Figure 2 It is shown that in some embodiments, the application method of graphene paper-cutting configuration in solid-state refrigeration includes:
[0067] Step 1: Because the driving force during stretching of graphene is large, the designed cut graphene configuration can reduce the driving force through traditional paper-cutting technology.
[0068] Specifically, a variety of configurations are designed by using modeling software, and the refrigeration performance parameters are compared to obtain the optimal graphene configuration. That is, first, a graphene model with a length of 100 Å and a width of 48 Å is established, and a region with a length of 68 Å and a width of 4.8 Å is cut in the middle of the graphene. The cell is expanded by 721 to obtain the graphene configuration as shown in Figure 3 This configuration can ensure that the system produces out-of-plane deflection during the stretching process, reduces the driving force, and the small cutting area ensures the integrity of the graphene material to a certain extent, so that the material maintains a high thermal conductivity.
[0069] Step 2: Based on the configuration designed in step 1, a structure model is constructed using Materials Studio software and a hydrogenation operation is performed on the paper-cutting structure.
[0070] Specifically, one hydrogen atom is adsorbed on the edge carbon atom to ensure that adjacent edge carbon atoms will not form covalent bonds during the stretching process, which will affect the stretching process. A variety of materials designed by paper-cutting technology are exported as cif files, converted to data file format by ovito software, and molecular dynamics calculation is performed on the basis of the configuration to simulate the refrigeration process.
[0071] Step 3: Based on the structure model constructed by Materials Studio software in step 2, LAMMPS software is used to simulate the refrigeration cycle process of the graphene paper-cutting configuration.
[0072] Specifically, the in file, the potential function file and the structure data file are input files, the potential function uses the airebo potential function, which is more accurate for simulating carbon and hydrogen atoms, and the long-range van der Waals force and the Coulomb interaction are calculated by the particle-particle-particle grid k-space solver; the input file uses the isothermal-isobaric ensemble in the simulation, and the temperature and pressure are controlled by using the pressure regulation and temperature regulation techniques.
[0073] Among them, the simulation box is subjected to periodic boundary conditions in the y and z directions, and the x direction is set as a fixed boundary as the stretching direction; the integral uses the Verlet algorithm, and the time step is 1 fs.
[0074] Step 4: Based on the calculation details of step 3, an input file is written, which includes the relaxation process and the refrigeration cycle process, and the refrigeration cycle includes two adiabatic processes and two isothermal processes.
[0075] Specifically, after reading the structure file, the relaxation process assigns a velocity to each atom according to the Gaussian distribution, so that the whole reaches room temperature of 300K, and then uses the isothermal-isobaric ensemble to make the material relax at room temperature and normal pressure for 100 picoseconds, so that the structure is stable, and the energy, force and other parameters converge to the minimum value.
[0076] Step 5: According to the structure relaxed in step 4, the refrigeration cycle process is carried out, as shown in Figures 4-7 .
[0077] Specifically, the first cycle process is the stretching process, which is an adiabatic process, and uses the isobaric-isenthalpic ensemble to stretch the graphene paper cut configuration along the x direction. That is, the velocity command is used to give the atoms on the right side of the material a rightward velocity, so that the whole achieves the effect of left-end fixation and right-end stretching to the right, which does work on the material and makes the material temperature rise.
[0078] Specifically, the second cycle process is the heat release process, which is an isothermal process. The material position is fixed, and the isothermal-isobaric ensemble is used to make the material return to room temperature of 300K, which is the process of releasing the heat of the material in the simulation experiment in contact with the heat source, that is, the process of the air conditioner outdoor unit discharging heat in reality.
[0079] Specifically, the third cycle process is the contraction process, which is an adiabatic process, and uses the isobaric-isenthalpic ensemble to contract the graphene paper cut configuration along the-x direction, that is, the velocity command is used to give the atoms on the right side of the material a leftward velocity, so that the whole achieves the effect of the material on the right end shrinking to the left, which does work on the outside of the material and makes the material temperature decrease.
[0080] Specifically, the fourth cycle is the heat absorption process, which is an isothermal process. The material position is fixed, and the isothermal-isobaric ensemble is used to make the material return to room temperature of 300 K, which is in contact with the heat source in the experiment, and absorbs the heat of the relatively high temperature heat source, that is, the indoor refrigeration process of the air conditioner in reality.
[0081] The above four processes constitute the refrigeration cycle process of the solid-state refrigeration material, which reciprocates to achieve the effect of refrigeration.
[0082] Step 6: Simulate the temperature rising process of the material from 200 K to 400 K, and count the change of the total energy of the material with the increase of temperature, wherein the slope is approximately the specific heat capacity of the graphene paper cutting configuration. According to the shrinkage process, the temperature change of the graphene paper cutting technique is 7.94 K, that is, the adiabatic temperature change, and the specific heat capacity of the model is calculated to be 2266 J·kg -1 ·K -1 , and the specific heat capacity obtained by experiment is 700 J·kg -1 ·K -1 ; according to the proportional relationship, the adiabatic temperature change of the material can be corrected to 25 K. Through the Clausius-Clapeyron equation, the specific heat capacity, temperature change and other data of the system can be obtained. The isothermal entropy change of the material is 60 J·kg -1 ·K -1 , which are the key parameters for judging the performance of the solid-state refrigeration material.
[0083] Step 7: Count the total energy change in the stretching and shrinking processes, and subtract the input work W , and get the heat through the heat definition , wherein, m is the mass, C p is the specific heat capacity ΔT is the adiabatic temperature change; the refrigeration performance is calculated according to the work and heat. Thus, the COP of the graphene paper cutting configuration can reach 2.38.
[0084] Step 8: Use the deform command to stretch the material to both sides, and count the stress and strain data. Due to the existence of out-of-plane flipping, the strain is less than 30% of the stretching amount, and the strain of the material is much smaller than that of graphene itself, which fluctuates below 50 Mpa.
[0085] Step 9: Calculate the thermal conductivity according to the non-equilibrium molecular dynamics.
[0086] Specifically, the graphene paper-cut configuration is divided into 30 regions, the slowest atoms in the middle two regions are exchanged with the fastest atoms in the two end regions, so that the atoms in the middle region are fast and the atoms in the two side regions are slow, which is macroscopically represented as high temperature in the middle region and low temperature in the two side regions, forming a temperature gradient for heat transfer. After the stable temperature gradient is formed, the heat transferred is counted, The thermal conductivity of the material is calculated as 62 W·m -1 ·K -1 .
[0087] Therefore, by adopting the technical scheme, based on molecular dynamics simulation, the graphene paper-cut configuration is designed, the key performance parameters of solid-state refrigeration of the material, adiabatic temperature change, isothermal entropy change, refrigeration efficiency, driving force and thermal conductivity are calculated. A configuration with excellent comprehensive refrigeration performance is obtained, and the new material is introduced into the field of solid-state refrigeration, which is helpful for promoting the practical process of solid-state refrigeration technology.
