S104: The dried sample was subjected to reduction treatment at 600℃ for 1h under reducing gas (H2 / N2=20 / 180) until the temperature dropped to room temperature to obtain titanium-doped cesium tungsten bronze powder. Cs with Ti / (Ti+W)(mol) = 0, 0.03, 0.07 and 0.1 were synthesized using the above method. x Ti y W 1-y O3 powders were named CT-0, CT-3, CT-7 and CT-10, respectively. The preparation methods of each powder were the same, except that the solution content of the added Ti ion precursor was different. The corresponding solution contents of the added Ti ion precursor were 0g, 3g, 5g and 10g, respectively.

[0017] Step S2: Preparation of Cs x Ti y W 1-y O3 thin film, including the following steps: S201: Restore the Cs x Ti y W 1-y O3 powder was mixed with ethanol and ball-milled for 7 hours to obtain well-dispersed Cs. x Ti y W 1-y O3 solution; S202: Cs x Ti y W 1-y O3 solution and self-made silica sol were mixed at a mass ratio of 0.9:5, and after thorough mixing, a film was applied to glass.

[0018] This invention uses W 6+ Ti with similar ionic radii 4+ Cs was successfully synthesized by substituting W ions for W ions. x Ti y W 1- y O3 material. Furthermore, a solid-state method was selected as the preparation process to shorten the preparation cycle and obtain reproducible samples.

[0019] This invention incorporates the intrinsic mechanism of tungsten bronze and systematically studies the effects of different Ti ion doping amounts on the valence state distribution, elemental content, surface morphology, and optical properties of W in the material.

[0020] Figure 1 Scanning electron microscope (SEM) images of four samples are presented. Figure 1 Figure a shows the CT-0 sample, composed of particles and nanoplates with an average size of 50 nm. Samples CT-3 and CT-7 ( Figure 1 b and Figure 1 c) It consists of particles of 20-100 nm and nanobulks of several hundred nanometers, but the CT-3 sample also contains a small amount of nanoplatelets. Sample CT-10 is composed of nanoparticles of approximately 70 nm, such as... Figure 1 As shown in d, the number of nanoplatelets gradually decreases with increasing Ti concentration, which is consistent with the XRD results. Increased Ti concentration inhibits the growth of the (200) crystal plane, while a small amount of Ti can promote the formation of nanobulks, as evidenced by the greater number of nanobulks in the CT-7 sample compared to the CT-3 sample. However, excessive Ti doping produces more TiO2, which surrounds the cesium tungsten bronze, thereby inhibiting its growth and resulting in smaller particles.

[0021] Table 1 Valence ratio, elemental content, and elemental ratio of W in different Ti-doped samples

[0022] Figure 2 The near-infrared shielding mechanism of cesium tungsten bronze was demonstrated, which is mainly achieved through small polaron absorption and localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR). Figure 2 (a) is the structural framework of CsxTiyW1-yO3 projected onto the ab plane; Figure 2 (b) is a schematic diagram of the growth of four samples (CT-0, CT-3, CT-7 and CT-10); Figure 2 (c) is a schematic diagram of the LSPR effect; Figure 2 (d) is a schematic diagram of small polaron absorption. Small polaron absorption mainly acts in the short-wavelength near-infrared region (780-1100 nm). Small polarons caused by lattice distortion in W 5+ and W6+ The polaron transitions absorb near-infrared light and are as follows: Process І:

[0023] Ephonon represents the energy of a single phonon.

[0024] The LSPR effect mainly acts on the long-wavelength near-infrared region. In the LSPR effect, when free electrons are in a resonant state, they absorb near-infrared light with a frequency close to their vibration frequency. The near-infrared absorption capability of LSPR is closely related to the carrier concentration (specifically the free electron concentration), as shown in formula (2); (2) Where α, λ, N, ɛ0, m*, n, and µ represent the absorption coefficient, incident light wavelength, refractive index of the medium, vacuum permittivity, effective carrier mass, carrier concentration, and permeability, respectively; under the same conditions, the values ​​of N, ɛ0, m*, and µ are fixed. The absorption coefficient is related to the incident wavelength λ. 2 The coefficient is proportional to the carrier concentration n, indicating that increasing the carrier concentration can improve the near-infrared absorption coefficient of the material.

[0025] As the Ti concentration increases, CT-7 and CT-10 samples exhibit better absorption performance in the ultraviolet region. This change can be explained by band gap theory. Therefore, the band gap information of the samples is calculated using formula (3). (3) In the formula, α, ν, h、 Eg and B represent the absorption coefficient, photon energy, Planck's constant, band gap width, and constant, respectively. Table 2 shows the band gaps of the four samples as 2.71 eV, 3.08 eV, 2.91 eV, and 2.89 eV. The sample bandwidth first increases and then decreases with increasing Ti doping content, consistent with the changes in the UV absorption spectrum. This indicates that the increase in band gap leads to a shift of the UV absorption peak towards shorter wavelengths.

[0026] Table 2 shows the optical properties of the samples in automotive glass. With increasing Ti concentration, the near-infrared shielding efficiency increased from 88.43% for CT-0 to 93.68% for CT-3, while the visible light transmittance reached 86.55%. However, with increasing Ti content, the near-infrared shielding efficiency of samples CT-7 and CT-10 decreased to 88% and 83%, respectively. Although these two samples showed reduced near-infrared shielding effectiveness, they exhibited good performance in ultraviolet absorption.

[0027] Table 2 Optical properties and band gaps of different Ti dopants

[0028] In the table, a It represents the maximum transmittance in the visible light region (380-760 nm). b This indicates the maximum shielding efficiency in the NIR region (760-2500 nm).

[0029] To quantitatively compare the near-infrared shielding capabilities of the four samples, the Solar Energy Transmittance Selectivity (SETS) value was calculated based on the solar transmittance deviation in the visible and near-infrared regions. The SETS value can be calculated using the following formula (4); (4) In the formula, T(λ) represents the transmission spectrum, and E(λ) represents the solar radiation spectrum of 1.5 air masses, corresponding to the sun at 37° above the horizon. SETS values ​​range from 0 to 1; higher SETS values ​​indicate better transmission selectivity, while lower SETS values ​​indicate poorer transmission selectivity. As shown in Table 2, among the four samples prepared by the solid-state method, the SETS value of the CT-3 sample (0.79) is higher than the other samples, indicating that appropriate Ti doping to replace W can improve the optical properties of CsxWO3 material.

[0030] Experimental results show that, under the condition of Ti / (Ti+W) = 3%, the prepared film has excellent visible light transmittance (T). vis The shielding efficiency reached 86.55%, while the near-infrared shielding efficiency (S) was... NIR The rate was as high as 93.68%.
