Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of thermal management material preparation, and in particular to a method for preparing a hydrophobic gadolinium oxide-based radiation refrigeration coating material. Background Art
[0002] As the high energy consumption of traditional active cooling technologies (such as air conditioning and compression refrigeration) becomes increasingly prominent, the development of zero-energy passive radiative cooling (PRC) technology has become a research hotspot. Radiative cooling materials achieve low-power cooling by highly reflecting sunlight (0.3–2.5 μm) and efficiently emitting mid-infrared thermal radiation (8–13 μm), using a transparent window in the atmosphere to radiate heat directly into outer space. However, existing radiative cooling materials are susceptible to surface corrosion by water vapor or accumulation of condensation droplets when exposed to high humidity or long-term outdoor conditions, resulting in degradation of optical performance and severely restricting their practical application.
[0003] Gadolinium oxide (Gd2O3), a rare earth oxide, exhibits extremely high intrinsic emissivity (>0.83) in the mid-infrared band (8–13 μm) due to its wide bandgap (~5.4 eV) and unique lattice vibration modes. The periodic table indicates that Gd has an extremely high absorption coefficient (49700), making it an ideal substrate for radiative cooling. However, pure Gd2O3 coatings are poorly hydrophobic, with water contact angles typically below 90°. In humid environments, they readily adsorb water molecules, resulting in a decrease in optical performance. Furthermore, the attachment of water molecules to the coating surface increases solar absorption, reduces reflectivity, and weakens the cooling effect. Furthermore, its hydrophilic surface easily attracts dust or contaminants, further reducing the efficiency of radiative cooling.
[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to propose a method for preparing a gadolinium oxide (Gd2O3)-based radiation cooling coating material with hydrophobic properties to solve the above technical problems. Summary of the Invention

[0038] Comparative Example 1
[0039] This comparative example serves as a blank control group, i.e., a 1 mm thick steel alloy substrate is not coated, to compare the thermal insulation performance of the radiant cooling coating.
[0040] Comparing the thermal performance of Example 1 and Comparative Example 1, Figure 1 As shown in Table 1. The results show that under the same heat source test conditions, the inner surface temperature of the coating (Example 1) is 25.7°C, which is 8.5°C lower than that of the pure steel alloy (Comparative Example 1), and the temperature drop effect is obvious.

[0045] Comparative Example 2
[0046] The difference between this comparative example and Example 1 is that in step (1), 20 g of gadolinium nitrate (Gd(NO3)3·6H2O) is dissolved in 11 g of ethanol-water mixed solvent.
[0047] Comparative Example 3
[0048] The difference between this comparative example and Example 1 is that in step (1), 60 g of gadolinium nitrate (Gd(NO3)3·6H2O) is dissolved in 11 g of an ethanol-water mixed solvent.
[0049] The effects of (Gd(NO3)3·6H2O) on the performance of the radiative cooling coating materials in Example 1, Example 2, Comparative Example 2, and Comparative Example 3 are shown in Table 2. The results show that when the (Gd(NO3)3·6H2O) content is 50wt% (Example 1) and 30wt% (Example 2), the coating has a high solar reflectivity and atmospheric window emissivity. When the (Gd(NO3)3·6H2O) content is reduced to 20wt% (Comparative Example 2), the atmospheric window emissivity decreases. When the (Gd(NO3)3·6H2O) content is increased to 60wt% (Comparative Example 3), the atmospheric window emissivity reaches 93%, but the solar reflectivity decreases, indicating that Gd 3+ It has a great influence on emissivity and solar reflectivity. In order to balance the performance of the two, the content of (Gd(NO3)3·6H2O) is controlled at 30-50wt%.

[0051]
[0052] Example 3
[0053] The difference between this embodiment and embodiment 1 is that the mass of TiO2 in step (2) is 20g.

[0056] Comparative Example 5
[0057] The difference between this comparative example and Example 1 is that the mass of TiO2 in step (2) is 25g.
[0058] The effects of TiO2 on the performance of the radiative cooling coating materials in Example 1, Example 3, and Comparative Examples 4-5 are shown in Table 3 and Figure 2 The results show that when the TiO2 content is 15wt% (Example 1) and 20wt% (Example 3), the atmospheric window emissivity does not change much. When the TiO2 content is less than 15wt% (Comparative Example 4), the solar reflectivity decreases. When the TiO2 content is 25wt% (Comparative Example 5), the solar reflectivity increases, but the atmospheric window emissivity decreases. In order to balance the two properties, the TiO2 content is controlled at 15-20wt%.

[0066] Comparative Example 7

[0068] The effects of SiC in Example 1, Example 3, and Comparative Examples 4-5 on the performance of the radiative cooling coating material are shown in Table 4 and Figure 3 The results show that the SiC content has a significant impact on the atmospheric window emissivity. When the SiC content is 2-5wt%, the atmospheric window emissivity has little effect. When the SiC content is 0, the atmospheric window emissivity is low. When the SiC content is greater than 10wt%, the atmospheric window emissivity increases, but the solar reflectivity decreases. To balance the two, the SiC content is controlled between 2-5wt%.

[0070]
[0071] Comparative Example 8
[0072] This comparative example differs from Example 1 in that the coating was not treated in FAS-17 vapor after curing.
[0073] Table 5 shows the effects of whether or not the coatings in Example 1 and Comparative Example 8 were treated in FAS-17 vapor after curing on the radiative cooling coating material properties. The results show that compared to treating the coating in FAS-17 vapor after curing (Example 1), the solar reflectance and atmospheric window emissivity in Comparative Example 8 did not change significantly, but the contact angle decreased, the wettability was poor, and the hydrophobicity was reduced. Therefore, it is necessary to treat the coating in FAS-17 vapor.
