Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of advanced optical functional materials. Specifically, it relates to a photochromic film and a preparation method thereof. Background Art
[0002] As a key member in the field of intelligent materials, photochromic materials can undergo reversible color changes when irradiated with light of a specific wavelength. This property enables them to exhibit great application potential in fields such as intelligent windows, optical anti-counterfeiting, and optical information storage. Among numerous photochromic material systems, rare-earth-doped silicate-based materials have become a research and development hotspot due to their good chemical stability, unique luminescence properties, and relatively excellent photochromic performance. However, traditional preparation methods such as the sol-gel method can achieve uniform mixing of components, but they are prone to introducing impurities, and high-temperature heat treatment may cause film cracking, affecting performance and applications. In addition, the hydrothermal method requires a high-temperature and high-pressure environment, with high equipment requirements, complex operations, and difficult control. The solid-phase reaction method results in affected product purity and performance due to uneven mixing and incomplete reactions. These methods have many deficiencies in preparing film morphology. In contrast, electrospinning technology has successfully prepared a rich variety of nanofibers, including organic, organic / inorganic composite, and inorganic electrospun fibers, due to its advantages such as simple manufacturing equipment, low spinning cost, a wide variety of spinable substances, and controllable processes.
[0003] Chinese invention patent CN118906598B discloses a multi-layer composite anti-counterfeiting film and a preparation method thereof. Using styrene, n-butyl acrylate, methacrylic acid, and allyl methacrylate as raw materials, based on colloidal microspheres prepared by semi-batch emulsion polymerization, perovskite quantum dots are embedded to form a photonic crystal film, and then a photochromic film layer containing a polypyrrole-phosphomolybdic acid composite component is formed on its surface by electrospinning. The core is to combine the color display of the photonic crystal structure with quantum dot fluorescence and photochromism to achieve anti-counterfeiting functions. It does not involve the exploration of flexibility and color change sensitivity. Summary of the Invention

[0023] A second aspect of the present invention provides a method for preparing a photochromic thin film, comprising the following steps:

[0028] The solvents, including acetone, N,N-dimethylformamide, and N-methylpyrrolidone, effectively improve the mechanical strength and flexibility of the film material. The rapid volatility of acetone and the strong solubility of N-dimethylformamide and N-methylpyrrolidone regulate the solution viscosity, creating a suitable solvent environment for spinning. Combined with specific polymers, they effectively improve the stability of the spinning jet. Further research revealed that using a composite dispersant system, combining steric hindrance and interfacial wetting, can achieve uniform dispersion of powder in the organic phase. Simultaneously, during the spinning process, uniaxial needle technology is used to prepare core-shell structured fibers, with ceramic powder as the core and PVP as the shell, further optimizing luminescence efficiency. Specific spinning parameter settings ensure fiber morphology uniformity and structural stability.

[0030] The reduction sintering includes: introducing a mixed gas at 1250℃-1350℃.

By precisely controlling the doping concentration and spinning parameters, uniform, continuous films with specific microstructures can be prepared, overcoming the shortcomings of traditional methods.
[0036] 2. The thin film of the present invention has a large specific surface area and abundant pore structure, which is conducive to the rapid occurrence of photochromic reaction, thereby improving the color change speed and sensitivity.
[0037] 3. The synergistic doping of Fe and Eu in this invention can effectively control the photochromic properties of the thin film, enabling the thin film to exhibit multi-stage dynamic color-changing effects under a single light source excitation.
