Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the field of daily necessities preparation, and particularly relates to a radiation cooling sunscreen with broad-spectrum sun protection function, and a preparation method and application thereof. Background Art

[0002] Global warming and energy shortages have become two major challenges facing people worldwide. To meet cooling needs in daily life and production, air conditioning and other cooling methods have become widely used. However, these cooling devices, which rely on external energy input, consume large amounts of electricity and emit greenhouse gases, further exacerbating global warming. Faced with enormous environmental and energy pressures, people need to explore new, green cooling methods.

[0003] Radiative cooling technology has garnered widespread attention in recent years due to its ability to dissipate heat completely autonomously, requiring no external energy input. Achieving this radiative cooling effect requires materials with two properties: high reflectivity within the 0.3-2.5μm range of the solar spectrum to prevent absorption of solar thermal radiation; and high emissivity within the 8-13μm atmospheric window, which achieves cooling by radiating its own heat as electromagnetic waves into outer space, where the temperature is only 3K. In recent years, with the continuous advancement of research, a variety of radiative cooling materials have emerged, covering a wide range of materials and applications, with promising applications in architectural coatings, refrigerated transportation, and personal thermal management.

[0004] Personal thermal management is closely related to human life. Good thermal management not only provides comfort but also prevents the harmful effects of high temperatures on the human body, making it of great research and application value. However, current research focuses almost entirely on the manufacture of radiative cooling clothing, with little research on other daily necessities.

[0005] Long-term exposure to ultraviolet rays is a major cause of skin cancer. Sunscreen can be applied to the skin surface and provides protection from ultraviolet rays through physical scattering and chemical absorption of its active ingredients. Ultraviolet rays are divided into UVA (long wave) and UVB (medium wave). UVB acts on the surface of the skin and is the main cause of sunburn and cell cancer; UVA can penetrate the epidermis and directly damage the dermis, accelerating skin aging while also increasing the risk of skin cancer. This shows that an ideal sunscreen should provide effective protection against both UVA and UVB. As a cosmetic widely used in daily life, sunscreen has a high degree of overlap with radiant cooling in its usage scenarios. By integrating radiant cooling with sun protection, a new type of sunscreen product is created that has great application value.

[0006] Traditional radiative cooling materials include white paint, inorganic material film and polymer film, etc. They use the high refractive index and wide infrared emissivity of inorganic microparticles (such as titanium dioxide) and the excellent infrared emissivity of specific polymers (such as polyvinyl fluoride) to achieve the cooling effect, and some studies further improve the radiative cooling performance by combining the advantages of the two materials. The cost of such materials is relatively controllable, and the application scenarios are relatively wide, but the research on personal thermal management is almost entirely focused on radiative cooling clothing, and there is almost no report on cosmetics.

[0007] As a radiative cooling material designed and simulated, photonic devices often have advantages in solar reflectivity and infrared emissivity compared to traditional radiative cooling materials, but the high cost of design and manufacturing greatly limits their widespread application, and the delicate and fragile nanostructure also makes it difficult to be used for personal thermal management.

[0008] At present, the shortcomings in the prior art are as follows:

[0009] 1. Traditional radiative cooling materials are abundant in sources, widely used in various application scenarios, low in cost, and easy to mass-produce, but the research on personal thermal management is focused on the field of textiles and clothing, and almost no research is conducted in the field of daily chemicals.

[0010] 2. Photonic devices have exquisite structure and can achieve extremely high solar reflectivity and infrared emissivity, but the cost of design and preparation is extremely high, and they cannot be applied to personal thermal management.

[0011] 3. Current sunscreen products focus on protecting against ultraviolet rays and lack effective protection against solar heat radiation. People are still at risk of various heat-related diseases such as heat stroke and heat exhaustion caused by heat stress under long-term exposure to sunlight. SUMMARY

[0012] To solve the above technical problems, the present application provides the following technical solutions:

[0013] The present application provides a radiative cooling sunscreen with broad-spectrum sunscreen function, which comprises 10-15wt% of ZnO@ZIF-8 composite material; the ZnO@ZIF-8 composite material is obtained by reacting zinc oxide nanoparticles and 2-methyl imidazole in an organic solvent.

[0015] Preferably, the radiative cooling sunscreen with broad-spectrum sunscreen function further comprises 10-15wt% of titanium dioxide; the particle size of the titanium dioxide is 1-3μm.

[0016] Preferably, the radiation refrigeration sunscreen cream with broad-spectrum sunscreen function further comprises a viscosity regulator, a formula stabilizer and a skin cream.

[0017] Further, the viscosity regulator is selected from ethanol, and the formula stabilizer is selected from liquid paraffin, decamethylcyclopentasiloxane and glycerol; the mass ratio of the decamethylcyclopentasiloxane, glycerol, ethanol, liquid paraffin and skin cream is 8-12:8-12:8-12:18-22:23-27.

[0018] Preferably, the organic solvent is selected from ethanol, methanol or N,N-dimethylformamide.

[0019] Further, the organic solvent used in the synthesis can also be selected from methanol, DMF and the like, but for safety considerations, ethanol is used as a non-toxic preparation solvent in the present application.

[0020] Preferably, the temperature of the reaction is room temperature (25±5℃), and the reaction time is 12-48h.

[0021] Preferably, the mixture obtained after the reaction is washed with ethanol and dried at 55-65℃ for 9-12h.

[0022] The present application also provides a preparation method of the radiation refrigeration sunscreen cream with broad-spectrum sunscreen function as described above, comprising the following steps:

[0023] S11: preparing an ethanol suspension of zinc oxide nanoparticles and an ethanol solution of 2-methylimidazole, respectively;

[0024] S12: adding the ethanol suspension of zinc oxide nanoparticles into the ethanol solution of 2-methylimidazole, and reacting at room temperature for 12-48h to obtain a mixture;

[0025] S13: solid-liquid separation is performed on the mixture obtained in step S12, the solid is washed with ethanol for multiple times, and then dried at 55-65℃ for 9-12h to obtain a ZnO@ZIF-8 composite material;

[0026] S14: mixing the ZnO@ZIF-8 composite material, titanium dioxide, viscosity regulator, formula stabilizer and skin cream at room temperature for 12-24h to obtain the radiation refrigeration sunscreen cream with broad-spectrum sunscreen function.

[0027] Specifically, the preparation method of the ZnO@ZIF-8 composite material comprises the following steps:

[0028] The preparation of the composite material ZnO@ZIF-8 composite material required by the present application comprises the following steps: synthesis by an organic solvent method, mixing ZnO and 2-methylimidazole in ethanol, and synthesizing ZnO@ZIF-8 composite material by 2-methylimidazole and Zn 2+The ZnO@ZIF-8 composite material was prepared by in situ growth of a ZIF-8 shell directly on the ZnO surface, wherein the molar ratio of ZnO to 2-methylimidazole was 1:8-1:10.

[0029] The weighed ZnO nanoparticles were added to 15 mL of ethanol and placed in an ultrasonic cleaner for thorough dispersion. The weighed 2-methylimidazole was dissolved in 35 mL of ethanol, and the dispersed ZnO suspension was then added dropwise to the latter while stirring vigorously. After reacting at room temperature for 12-48 hours, the precipitate was collected, washed with anhydrous ethanol and centrifuged (8000 rpm) three times, and dried in an oven at 60°C for 9-12 hours. The dried product was ground in a mortar and the resulting white powder was collected for later use.

[0032] The ZnO@ZIF-8 composite material, prepared by simply mixing raw materials in an ethanol environment, has both high sunlight reflectivity (especially in the visible light wavelength range) and high UV protection.

[0033] The present invention also provides use of the radiation cooling sunscreen with broad-spectrum sun protection function in the preparation of personal thermal management cosmetics.

[0034] The present invention also provides an application of the above-mentioned sunscreen in actual scenarios: the sunscreen can achieve an effective cooling effect under direct sunlight, and at the same time has a high SPF value, a broad-spectrum sun protection ability covering UVA and UVB, and good waterproof performance.

At room temperature, add the weighed 2-methylimidazole to 25mL of ethanol and stir to completely dissolve it.

[0054] Step 2: In situ synthesis of ZnO@ZIF-8 on the surface of ZnO nanoparticles: adding the ZnO ethanol suspension prepared in step 1 dropwise to the ethanol solution of 2-methylimidazole prepared in step 1, reacting under vigorous stirring at room temperature to in situ grow a ZIF-8 layer on the surface of the ZnO nanoparticles;

[0055] Specifically, the ethanol suspension of ZnO dispersed in step 1 was added dropwise to the ethanol solution of 2-methylimidazole in step 1 at room temperature at a rate of 1 drop / second. The suspension was added dropwise over 10 minutes, and then reacted for 48 hours under vigorous stirring. After the reaction was completed, the resulting white precipitate was collected by centrifugation at 8000 rpm for 5 minutes, washed three times with ethanol, and then dried in an oven at 65°C for 12 hours to obtain the ZnO@ZIF-8 composite material.

The components are mixed in a container at room temperature and stirred for 24 hours to obtain a radiant heat dissipation sunscreen with broad-spectrum sun protection function. The electronic photo of the sunscreen is shown in FIG. Figure 1 shown.

[0058] Example 2:

[0059] The method of this embodiment is the same as that of Example 1, except that the mass of the ZnO@ZIF-8 material in the sunscreen formula is 15 g, the mass component of TiO2 is 10 g, and the other experimental steps and experimental parameters are consistent with those of Example 1.

[0060] Example 3:

[0064] Comparative Example 2:

[0065] The method of this comparative example is the same as that of Example 1, except that the ZnO@ZIF-8 composite material is replaced with ZIF-8 in the sunscreen formula. The other experimental steps and experimental parameters are consistent with those of Example 1, wherein the steps for preparing the ZIF-8 material are as follows:

[0066] In step 1, 1.8 g of zinc nitrate hexahydrate and 4.1 g of 2-methylimidazole were added to 40 g of methanol and shaken in an ultrasonic bath to ensure complete dissolution. In step 2, the two solutions were mixed and reacted with vigorous stirring for 24 hours. After the reaction was complete, the resulting white precipitate was collected by centrifugation at 8000 rpm for 5 minutes, washed three times with methanol, and then dried in an oven at 65°C for 12 hours to obtain the ZIF-8 material.

[0067] Comparative Example 3:

[0068] The comparative example is the same as the method of Example 1, except that the ZnO@ZIF-8 composite material is not added in the sunscreen cream formula, and other experimental steps and experimental parameters are consistent with Example 1.

[0069] Comparative Example 4:

[0070] A sample of a commercially available sunscreen cream (L'Oreal Men's Multi-Defense Moisturizing Lotion) with a nominal SPF 50+, which mainly contains effective sunscreen ingredients: homosalate, octocrylene, ethylhexyl salicylate, Dibenzoylmethane, and the rest are additives and necessary ingredients.

[0071] Test Example 1:

[0072] (I) Based on Example 1, the morphology of ZnO nanoparticle raw material and synthesized ZnO@ZIF-8 material was observed, and the sample morphology under scanning electron microscope is shown in Figure 2 It can be seen that the ZnO raw material presents an amorphous structure, and the average particle size is about 180 nm, while the ZnO@ZIF-8 composite material presents a clear cubic structure, and the average particle size is about 380 nm; further, as shown in Figure 3 The morphology of ZnO@ZIF-8 composite material was observed by transmission electron microscope, and the material presents a clear core-shell structure under transmission electron microscope, the dark ZnO core is wrapped by the light-colored ZIF-8 shell, and the shell presents a clear dodecahedron structure. In the subsequent TEM mapping test, only the C element existing in ZIF-8 is enriched in the shell of the composite material, and only the O element existing in ZnO is gathered in the core of the composite material, which further proves the successful synthesis of ZnO@ZIF-8 material.

[0073] (II) Based on Example 1, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy analysis was performed on ZnO nanoparticle raw material, ZIF-8 material and synthesized ZnO@ZIF-8 material, and the results are shown in Figure 4 From the figure, it can be seen that the ZnO@ZIF-8 composite material shows C=N and C=C stretching vibration peaks of imidazole ring at 1581 cm -1 and 1439 cm -1 , shows C-N bond stretching vibration peak of imidazole ring at 1309 cm -1 , shows in-plane bending vibration peak of imidazole ring at 1146 cm -1 , shows out-of-plane bending vibration of imidazole ring at 757 cm -1 , and shows ring out-of-plane bending vibration of imidazole ring at 531 cm -1The characteristic peaks of ZnO appeared, which proved that ZIF-8 and ZnO coexisted in the system; in addition, X-ray diffraction tests were also performed on the three, and the results are shown in Figure 5 Fig. 2, the signal peaks of the ZnO@ZIF-8 composite material correspond to the standard peaks of ZnO and ZIF-8, which further proves the successful synthesis of the ZnO@ZIF-8 composite material.

[0074] The reflectivity of the samples in the above examples and comparative examples in the wavelength range of 300-2500 nm and the emissivity in the range of 8-13 μm were tested, and the experimental results are shown in Table 1, wherein the reflectivity and emissivity data of Example 1 are shown in Figure 6
