Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a radiative cooling ceramic material, and particularly to a rare earth aluminate-based radiative cooling ceramic material, a preparation method thereof, and an application thereof. Background Art

[0002] Solar energy irradiates the earth's surface with an energy of 50×10 15 MJ every year. Although we enjoy the huge benefits brought by solar energy, problems such as the heat island effect, energy consumption, and public safety have gradually emerged. As the earth warms up, more and more livable environments are turning into scorching areas.

[0003] Currently, electricity mainly relies on the combustion of coal and natural gas, and traditional cooling technologies such as vapor compression will accelerate the emission of greenhouse gases, further exacerbating global warming. In recent years, radiative cooling technology has received extensive attention due to its advantages of "zero work input" and "no greenhouse gas emissions". Radiative cooling materials need to have a high reflectivity and a high emissivity in the atmospheric window band to reduce the absorption of sunlight heat and enhance the radiation of heat.

[0004] In order to maintain a high reflectivity, current radiative cooling materials (such as alumina, zinc oxide, titanium dioxide, barium sulfate, etc.) are usually white, which leads to the problem of light pollution. Therefore, it is necessary to develop colored radiative cooling materials to replace traditional white materials. Existing color modification methods, such as using organic dyes, are often limited by a low sunlight reflectivity, thus significantly reducing the radiative cooling effect. Therefore, finding new colored radiative cooling materials has become an important task at present.

[0005] It should be noted that the information disclosed in the above background art section is only used to enhance the understanding of the background of the present disclosure, and therefore may include information that does not constitute the prior art known to those of ordinary skill in the art. Summary of the Invention

[0006] The object of the present invention is to provide a rare earth aluminate-based radiative cooling ceramic material, a preparation method thereof, and an application thereof, and by introducing transition metal elements, a rare earth aluminate-based radiative cooling ceramic material with a high sunlight reflectivity and a high emissivity in the atmospheric window is prepared.

[0007] To achieve the above object, the present invention provides a rare earth aluminate-based radiative cooling ceramic material, and the chemical formula of the material is Y3(Al 1-z M z )5O 12 , wherein M is selected from any one of Fe, Mn, Ni, and Cu; when M is selected from any one of Fe, Ni, and Cu, z takes a value of 0.01≤z≤0.10; when M is selected from Mn, z takes a value of 0.05<z≤0.10.

[0008] The inventor of the present invention has found through a large number of experimental studies that rare earth elements, due to their unique 4f5d electronic structure, show significant potential in the field of radiation cooling. The 4f electronic orbit of rare earth elements is located in the inner layer and is insensitive to changes in the external chemical environment. This stability enables rare earth elements to maintain their optical properties in radiation cooling materials for a long time, and is not easily affected by external factors such as oxidation and temperature changes, thereby improving the reliability and service life of the material. In addition, the 4f-4f and 4f-5d transitions of rare earth elements show unique spectral characteristics, which can efficiently emit and absorb photons within a specific wavelength range. By synthesizing specific rare earth doped materials, it can absorb external photons during radiation cooling and re-emit long-wavelength photons, thereby taking away heat and achieving a cooling effect. In the visible light region, transition metal doped aluminate ions are prone to grouping, with rare earth metal ions as electron acceptors and aluminate ions as ligands. When absorbing enough energy, electronic transitions are prone to change the bandgap width, which is beneficial to the regulation of color and the improvement of optical properties. At the same time, the color characteristics of the ceramic material are changed by adjusting the type and amount of the doping components, so that aluminates doped with different metals have high selectivity in different bands and are applied to different environments to meet the color requirements of radiant cooling in the existing market.
