[0002] Photovoltaic power generation technology has been widely applied to building walls and roofs. Given the enormous surface area and volume of building structures, utilizing this vast surface area for power generation not only allows for the production of more electricity through external photovoltaics but also enables the storage and regulation of electricity within the building's volume, effectively reducing daily energy consumption and contributing to the realization of low-carbon / zero-carbon buildings. Currently, electricity storage primarily employs chemical battery energy storage, but these batteries are costly, require specially designed installation spaces, and pose certain risks of leakage and pollution. How to store and regulate electricity after it is generated remains a major technical challenge for building-integrated photovoltaic (BIPV) power generation.

[0003] The design of building exterior wall insulation layers is currently an important measure to reduce energy consumption and improve housing comfort. Insulation layers often utilize lightweight, porous inorganic materials such as rock wool, rock slabs, and foamed boards. Through their porous structure and the low thermal conductivity of inorganic materials, they achieve the thermal insulation function of building exterior walls. However, without increasing additional space occupation, how to utilize the internal volume and composition of building materials for energy storage, achieving the storage and regulation of new energy power, and thus enabling building walls to have integrated functions such as thermal insulation and energy storage, is a problem that urgently needs to be solved. Summary of the Invention

[0006] The interface functional layer and energy storage insulation layer are constructed based on the building's cement-based walls / building panels. The cement-based walls / panels serve as the load-bearing structural layer of the multi-functional building material, possessing load-bearing capabilities. Vertical partitions are installed on the surface of the cement-based walls / panels, dividing the surface into squares. The spaces within these squares are used to fill the interface functional layer and energy storage insulation layer materials. Each square is an energy storage unit, the size of which can be designed according to the building form and energy storage application scenario. The vertical partitions can be made of cement-based materials or other inorganic materials. T-shaped and L-shaped metal embedded parts are pre-embedded in the vertical partitions for anchoring the vertical partitions and for energy transmission between the internal energy storage units and external control devices.

[0007] The interface functional layer includes carbon fiber mesh and composite slurry. The carbon fiber mesh is cut according to the surface area of ​​the cement-based wall / board. The raw material components of the composite slurry are as follows by weight: 40-50 parts of cementitious material; 35-40 parts of porous ceramsite; 3-4 parts of graphene nanosheets; and 150-200 parts of dispersion.

The solid content of the foaming stabilizer after compounding is ≥40%.

[0017] A method for preparing a cement-based integrated thermal insulation and energy storage building material includes the construction of an interface functional layer and the pouring of an energy storage and thermal insulation layer.

[0018] The raw material processing and construction process of the interface functional layer includes the following steps: (1) Preparation of graphene nanosheet dispersion: Add graphene nanosheets to 50 parts by weight of dispersion and ultrasonically disperse for 2 hours to obtain graphene nanosheet dispersion; (2) Conductive aggregate treatment: Using porous ceramic particles as carrier, soak the ceramic particles in 4 parts by weight of graphene nanosheet dispersion, and then transfer the dispersion to a stainless steel reactor and perform hydrothermal treatment at 160°C for 12 hours; after treatment, filter the ceramic particles and dry them in a 60°C forced-air drying oven for 2 hours to obtain conductive aggregate; (3) Preparation of composite slurry: Add the conductive aggregate to the remaining weight Half of the graphene dispersion was wetted with half of the mixing water and placed in a mixer. The mixer was started at a speed of 100 r / min. During the mixing process, the cementitious material was slowly added. After the cementitious material was added, the mixer was continued for 3 min. The remaining half of the mixing water was added and the mixer was stirred at a speed of 300 r / min for 3 min to obtain the composite slurry. (4) Corrosion treatment and cutting of carbon fiber mesh: The cut carbon fiber mesh was placed in a mixture of 1 mol / L concentrated HNO3 and 2 mol / L concentrated H2SO4 and heat-treated at 60℃ for 2 h.

[0020] The basic principle of this invention:

[0021] This invention relates to a cement-based building material integrating energy storage and thermal insulation. Energy transfer between the external environment and the internal energy storage unit is achieved through T-shaped and L-shaped metal embedded parts pre-embedded in vertical partitions arranged on the outer surface of the cement-based wall / board. Simultaneously, the T-shaped and L-shaped metal embedded parts act as anchors in the structure, improving the overall reliability of the cement-based wall / board. The interface functional layer is a functional component attached between the cement-based wall / board and the insulation material, possessing high specific surface area, high electrical conductivity, good mechanical properties, and electrochemical stability, meeting the energy storage requirements of the building material. The energy storage insulation layer is a filler component above the interface functional layer. It is lightweight and porous, reducing the overall weight of building materials while having a low heat transfer coefficient, thus providing good thermal insulation capabilities. It serves as both a filler and a thermal insulation layer in terms of thermal insulation. At the same time, the porous structure can store ions and provide channels for ion transport, thus acting as an electrolyte component of a supercapacitor in terms of energy storage, meeting the energy storage requirements of building materials. The thermal insulation function is mainly achieved through the low thermal conductivity of the energy storage insulation layer, while the energy storage function is realized through the supercapacitor formed by the combination of the interface functional layer and the energy storage insulation layer to store electrical energy.

[0022] Supercapacitor electrodes store charge through electrostatic adsorption. Carbon materials such as graphite, carbon fiber, carbon nanotubes, and graphene possess long-term cycling stability and are commonly used in electrode material preparation. This invention utilizes multilayer graphene oxide nanosheets as the electrode active material. Graphene is a high-performance nanomaterial with small particles and a large specific surface area, thus exhibiting small size effects, surface effects, quantum effects, and interface effects. Graphene's electron mobility exceeds 15000 cm⁻¹.2 / (V•S), while the resistivity is only about 10 -6 With a low resistivity (Ω•cm), graphene also possesses excellent thermal conductivity, reaching up to 5300 W / m•K, making it an ideal electrode active material. This invention utilizes graphene nanosheets with a thickness of 5 nm to 50 nm, whose properties are closer to those of monolayer graphene oxide. To overcome the aggregation of graphene nanosheets and improve their electrical properties, this invention employs a polycarboxylic acid solution for dispersion. Through the adsorption of carboxylic acid molecules and steric hindrance, the hydrophobic graphene nanosheets acquire a certain degree of hydrophilicity, improving the compatibility and dispersion ability of graphene nanosheets with cement-based materials, making them suitable as electrode active materials in cement-based composite materials.

[0023] To improve the effective density of electrode materials in the functional layer of the interface, this invention utilizes porous ceramsite as a carrier for graphene nanosheets. Porous ceramsite is a lightweight, high-strength, porous functional material widely used in construction, environmental protection, and agriculture. Its low density and porous structure provide excellent adsorption properties, and it is also commonly used as aggregate in lightweight insulating concrete. This invention uses a vacuum hydrothermal method to prepare conductive aggregates, and then carries graphene nanosheets within the porous interior of the aggregates. This increases the graphene nanosheet content at the electrode transition interface, thereby improving the electrical properties of the electrode material.

[0024] This invention utilizes etched carbon fiber mesh as a current collector for loading active materials. Carbon fiber is an excellent electrode current collector material, possessing superior mechanical properties, chemical / electrochemical stability, and good conductivity. However, due to its low specific surface area and surface activity, the electrochemical storage capacity of carbon fiber electrodes is very small. Therefore, the carbon fiber mesh needs to be pre-etched; this etching process improves the surface defects and the load-bearing capacity of the conductive medium on the carbon fiber mesh.

[0025] Red mud is a byproduct of the alumina industrial production process. my country's electrolytic aluminum industry is massive, with annual emissions exceeding 100 million tons. Large stockpiles of red mud not only occupy land but also severely impact the environment and the industry's sustainable development. Red mud is a highly alkaline solid waste, primarily composed of Si, Al, Fe, Ca, Na, and K, with a pH range generally between 10 and 13. The content of Al₂O₃ + Fe₂O₃ typically exceeds 50%, and its main minerals include hematite, nepheline, calcite, boehmite, and gibbsite. The microstructure of red mud is relatively loose, mainly composed of irregularly shaped red mud particles. These undisturbed red mud aggregates possess abundant pores with diameters approximately 0.2–0.5 μm. The particles exhibit a large specific surface area, high water absorption, and strong water retention, providing storage and transport channels for Fe and Al ions, making it an ideal solid electrolyte matrix material. Combining chemical foaming technology can further improve its porosity and pore structure, achieving a stable porous physical structure for the internal material. Metakaolin, a product of kaolin activated at high temperature, is a highly active aluminosilicate raw material. Under alkaline conditions, it can polymerize to form aluminosilicate cementitious materials with an amorphous to semi-crystalline three-dimensional structure. This invention utilizes sodium silicate as an activation agent and metakaolin as a polymerizing agent to achieve a certain mechanical strength for the internal filling material. Aluminum powder is used as a foaming agent to achieve foaming of the internal filling material. Aluminum powder releases hydrogen gas when reacting with water and alkaline substances, which can form pores inside the material, making it a good chemical foaming agent. At the same time, the addition of aluminum powder increases the concentration of iron and aluminum ions in the internal filling component, improving the conductivity of the internal filling material. A self-made foaming stabilizer is used to improve the stability of the structure after foaming. The foaming stabilizer is compounded from polycarboxylic acid mother liquor, polyacrylamide, sodium dodecylbenzene sulfonate, and polyethylene glycol-type alkyl acid polyoxyethylene ether. Polycarboxylic acid molecules, as macromolecular surfactants, improve particle dispersion in slurry states by adsorbing onto the surface of powder materials through carboxyl groups. Polyacrylamide, a water-soluble polymer, can increase foam viscosity and reduce foam flowability, thus exhibiting a certain foam stabilizing effect. Sodium dodecylbenzenesulfonate, an anionic surfactant, has both foaming and foam-stabilizing effects. Polyethylene glycol-type alkyl acid polyoxyethylene ethers further stabilize the compounded material and provide a certain air-entraining effect, increasing the content of small bubbles in the material. To ensure sufficient ions and pH value in the material, potassium hydroxide and potassium chloride are added to increase the K ion content, and the pH value of the slurry is controlled to be ≥13 by the potassium hydroxide content; iron oxide powder is added to increase the Fe ion content. 3+ Increase content to improve electrical performance.

[0026] Foamed concrete is a widely used lightweight thermal insulation building material, commonly made from materials such as cement, fly ash, mineral powder, and lime. Red mud has a complex composition and highly random physical state, resulting in limited mature experience in foaming technology. This invention, combining the physicochemical properties of red mud, experimentally determined a foaming preparation technology using red mud as the main raw material, elucidating the relationship between foaming ratio, material strength, composition, and preparation process. Raw red mud often exists as irregular aggregates, which can be dispersed by mechanical grinding and the addition of surface-active components. In the batching process, red mud, metakaolin, aluminum powder, and other separate materials are first dispersed by high-speed stirring. Then, other components and remaining mixing water are added, and stirring continues at a lower speed to prevent the already generated air bubbles from being broken up. Finally, pouring and curing are carried out.

[0027] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: This invention, through the material composition design of the interface functional layer and the energy storage and insulation layer, constitutes a building-structure supercapacitor that also has an energy storage function. The interface functional layer acts as an electrode, and the energy storage and insulation layer acts as an electrolyte, forming a multifunctional building material that integrates insulation and energy storage. It can be combined with the building's load-bearing structure to store new energy power such as solar and wind power generated by the building, and meet the building's daily electricity needs through the release of electricity, thus contributing to the realization of "zero-carbon buildings".
