Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of material thermal conductivity testing technology, and relates to a method for measuring the thermal conductivity of materials using photothermal conversion effect and thermoelectric elements. Background Technology
[0002] The measurement of material thermal conductivity has wide applications in fields such as new material research and development, material performance evaluation, and geological environment monitoring. Currently, the measurement of material thermal conductivity mainly relies on large laboratory equipment or small portable devices powered by electricity. This results in drawbacks such as high cost, long processing time, complex sampling procedures, and the need for additional energy input. For example, the high-precision in-plane thermal conductivity measurement device and method provided in Chinese patent application CN120446200A combines a contact heat flow meter with a vacuum insulation module. It uses a servo linear motor to drive a displacement transmission system to construct a stable axial heat flow field and combines a dual-length difference method to eliminate contact thermal resistance interference, adapting to different sample sizes and temperature ranges to achieve high-precision in-plane thermal conductivity measurement. However, its measurement process is complex and highly dependent on equipment and location.
[0003] On the other hand, since sunlight is a renewable and clean energy source and is readily available in nature, it has been widely used in fields such as seawater desalination, oil filtration, solar cells, and chemical catalysis. Therefore, it is particularly important to be able to use sunlight in nature to test the thermal conductivity of materials in situ. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a method for measuring the thermal conductivity of materials using the photothermal conversion effect and thermoelectric elements. It fully utilizes the principle that light radiation can be converted into heat under the action of a photothermal absorption film. Based on the fact that the generated heat propagates between the thermoelectric element and the test sample with different thermal conductivity, resulting in different surface temperatures of the thermoelectric element, the thermal conductivity of the test material can be determined by measuring the voltage of the thermoelectric element. Compared with other laboratory measuring equipment, this method has significant advantages in real-time measurement.
[0005] The objective of this invention can be achieved through the following technical solutions: A method for measuring the thermal conductivity of a material using the photothermal conversion effect and a thermoelectric element includes the following steps: S1. The sample to be tested and the thermoelectric element are placed on the upper surface of the constant temperature substrate, and then the photothermal / thermal conductive composite material layer with photothermal conversion effect is tightly attached to the upper surface of the sample to be tested and the thermoelectric element to form a test system. S2. The thermally conductive material layer of the test system obtained in S1 is subjected to light source radiation treatment, the voltage value of the thermoelectric element is recorded, and the thermal conductivity of the sample to be tested is obtained based on the established standard curve of voltage value and thermal conductivity.
[0006] Furthermore, during the test, the sample under test and the thermoelectric element are identical in shape and size (i.e., dimensional parameters such as thickness, length, and width are identical), and they are kept in close contact.
[0007] Furthermore, in S1, the photothermal / thermal conductive composite material layer is prepared through the following steps: (1) First, a portion of the flexible polymer is coated into a film to obtain a polymer substrate; (2) Then coat a layer of high thermal conductivity material onto the polymer substrate; (3) Finally, the photothermal conversion material is mixed with another part of the flexible polymer, and then coated onto the high thermal conductivity material layer and cured to form a photothermal conversion film, thus obtaining the photothermal / thermal conductive composite material layer.
[0008] Furthermore, in steps (1) and (3), the flexible polymer is one or more of silicone rubber, block copolymers or thermoplastic biodegradable plastics; The silicone rubber is selected from at least one of methyl silicone rubber, methyl vinyl silicone rubber, methyl phenyl vinyl silicone rubber, fluorosilicone rubber, nitrile silicone rubber, phenylene silicone rubber, ethyl silicone rubber, and silicone nitrogen rubber; The block copolymer is at least one of hydrogenated styrene / butadiene block copolymer, styrene / isoprene / styrene block copolymer, styrene / hexene-butene / styrene block copolymer, and styrene / ethylene-propylene / styrene block copolymer; The thermoplastic biodegradable plastic is selected from at least one of polylactic acid plastics, polybutylene succinate plastics, or polyhydroxyalkanoate plastics.
[0009] Furthermore, in step (2), the high thermal conductivity material layer is composed of a mixture of low-melting-point liquid metal and high thermal conductivity filler. The low-melting-point liquid metal is at least one of gallium, gallium-indium alloy, gallium-indium-tin alloy, tin-bismuth alloy, mercury, or rubidium. The high thermal conductivity filler is at least one of boron nitride, graphite, graphene, carbon nanotubes, diamond, alumina, magnesium oxide, zinc oxide, copper powder, nickel powder, and silver nanowires.
[0010] Furthermore, in step (3), the photothermal conversion material is at least one of graphene, carbon nanotubes, metal nanoparticles or conductive polymer nanoparticles.
[0011] Furthermore, the thickness of the polymer substrate can be 50~800μm; The thickness of the high thermal conductivity material layer can be 100~1000μm; The thickness of the photothermal conversion material layer can be 50~1000μm.
[0012] Furthermore, the thermoelectric element is a semiconductor thermoelectric cooler, model TEC1-12702, with dimensions of 30mm in length, 30mm in width, and 4mm in thickness, purchased from Guangzhou Herui Electronics Co., Ltd.
[0013] Furthermore, the temperature range of the constant temperature substrate is between 5-35°C.
[0014] Furthermore, the time for light source radiation treatment shall not be less than 6 minutes; The recorded voltage values of the thermoelectric element are the values after the output voltage has stabilized, and the recording time is no less than 1 minute.
[0015] Furthermore, in S2, the process of establishing the standard curve is as follows: A series of test samples with known thermal conductivity were used to construct a test system according to the method in S1. Then, the voltage values of the corresponding thermoelectric elements were tested under the same conditions in S2. Based on this, a standard curve of the voltage value of the thermoelectric element and the thermal conductivity of the test sample was plotted.
[0016] In principle, the heat transfer of the entire system established by this invention can be analyzed by the following longitudinal heat transfer equation (1).
[0017] (1) in It is the total heat flux generated by the absorption and conversion of sunlight by the system (which depends on the energy density of the sun and the properties of the materials, namely light absorption and heat conversion coefficient). It is through the heat flux of the thermoelectric element. It is measured by the heat flux of the sample to be tested. This indicates thermal convection. and These are the thermal conductivity of the thermoelectric element and the sample under test, respectively. and These are the temperatures of the thermoelectric element and the upper surface of the sample under test, respectively. It is the temperature of the temperature control station (i.e., the constant temperature base) (which can be set to 15 ℃). and These are the cross-sectional area and length through which heat flows, respectively. The sample to be tested in this study has the same geometric parameters as the thermoelectric element. In addition, horizontal heat transfer in the heat-conducting layer ( ) can be written as formula (2).
[0018] (2) in, The thermal conductivity of the heat-conducting layer is... and Let be the cross-sectional area and length through which the heat flows, respectively. Combining formulas (1) and (2), we can derive: (3) in, This represents the temperature difference between the upper and lower surfaces of the thermoelectric element. According to formula (4), when other parameters remain constant, Only with Related. According to the Seebeck effect (4) in and These are the thermoelectric voltage and the Seebeck coefficient, respectively. Therefore, the thermal conductivity of a sample can be determined by monitoring the thermoelectric voltage, which theoretically demonstrates the feasibility of the testing method provided by this invention.
[0019] The working principle of this invention is as follows: The energy radiated by the light source can be absorbed by the photothermal conversion material and converted into heat. This heat can then propagate between the thermoelectric element and the material under test. Due to the difference in thermal conductivity between the thermoelectric element and the material under test, the heat flow through them differs, resulting in different surface temperatures. High thermal conductivity materials can facilitate the lateral propagation of heat, widening the temperature difference. Therefore, the thermal conductivity of the material under test can be determined by detecting the output voltage of the thermoelectric element.
[0020] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages: (1) This invention innovatively uses a combination of photothermal and thermally conductive material system and thermoelectric sheet to realize the measurement of thermal conductivity under light source radiation, which can then be applied in the fields of environmental and geological testing.
[0021] (2) The present invention realizes the encapsulated photothermal and thermal conductive material system through the coating film-making technology with adjustable thickness, and has a wide range of applications.
[0022] (3) This invention generates and transfers heat in the photothermal and thermally conductive material system through photothermal conversion effect, thereby realizing the measurement of the thermal conductivity of the material. It replaces the instruments and equipment of the original method, reduces the testing cost, and is conducive to real-time monitoring.
[0023] (4) The present invention can achieve measurement under different weather conditions by using photothermal materials with different light absorption rates or correcting the light power density of the light source radiation.
[0024] (5) The present invention can make a thermally conductive material by mixing fillers with low melting point liquid metals with fillers of different thermal conductivity. The thermally conductive material with enhanced thermal conductivity will help improve the sensitivity of thermal conductivity measurement and is easy to adapt to various application occasions.
[0025] (6) The present invention can be further extended to measure the thermal resistance and thickness of the sample. That is, when the thermal conductivity of the sample is consistent, the thickness of the sample will affect its overall thermal resistance, which will then be reflected in the thermoelectric voltage.

[0042] In the following embodiments, the aliphatic aromatic random copolyester (Ecoflex) is sourced from Smooth-On Corporation, USA, model number 0030. The liquid metal gallium-indium eutectic alloy is sourced from Shenyang Jiabei Commercial Trading Co., Ltd.
[0043] Unless otherwise specified, all other raw materials or processing techniques are commercially available materials or conventional processing techniques in the field.
[0044] Example 1 The A and B components of the aliphatic aromatic random copolyester (Ecoflex) were manually mixed at a volume ratio of 1:1 at room temperature, and a 200 μm thick film was coated onto a flat polyethylene plate using a coater. The coated polymer substrate film was then cured in a 60°C oven for 20 min to obtain the polymer substrate of the composite material.
[0045] 10 g of gallium-indium eutectic alloy and 0.2 g of graphene were placed in a polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) beaker and stirred evenly using a mixer at a speed of 700 rad / min for 30 min. After stirring, the mixture was observed to be fully mixed and exhibiting a silvery, viscous paste-like morphology. It is important to note that this process must be performed at a temperature above the melting point of the gallium-indium eutectic alloy (16°C).
[0046] The above-mentioned gallium-indium eutectic alloy and graphene mixture was coated onto a pre-cured polymer substrate using a coater to form a 1000 μm thick mixture paste. Then, a mixture of Ecoflex components A and B was prepared using the same method, and a 300 μm thick polymer layer was coated onto the mixture paste.
[0047] 1 g of Ecoflex component A and 2 ml of a hexane dispersion of gallium indium eutectic alloy and reduced graphene oxide core-shell nanoparticles were placed in a plastic bottle and placed on a 60°C hot plate for 6 h to allow the hexane solvent to evaporate completely. The mixture was then manually stirred until homogeneous. The gallium indium eutectic alloy and reduced graphene oxide core-shell nanoparticles were observed to be fully mixed with component A, exhibiting a gray, viscous, and sticky morphology.
[0048] The above-mentioned gallium indium eutectic alloy and reduced graphene oxide core-shell structured nanoparticles and component A were mixed together with component B of 1 g Ecoflex by manual stirring. The mixture was then coated with a 50 μm thick layer on the pre-coated polymer layer using a coater. The coated material was cured in an oven at 60 °C for 20 min to obtain a photothermal and thermally conductive material system (i.e., a photothermal / thermally conductive composite material layer).
[0049] Figure 1 Scanning electron microscope images of gallium indium eutectic alloy and reduced graphene oxide core-shell nanoparticles are shown. It can be seen that the gallium indium eutectic alloy and reduced graphene oxide core-shell nanoparticles are spherical, which causes the material to scatter visible light multiple times, resulting in the material's gray appearance. In addition, visible light is converted into heat through multiple scattering.
[0050] Figure 2 Transmission electron microscopy images of gallium indium eutectic alloy and reduced graphene oxide core-shell structured nanoparticles are shown. It can be seen that the surface of the gallium indium eutectic alloy nanoparticles is coated with reduced graphene oxide.
[0051] Figure 3 Scanning electron microscope images of a mixture of gallium indium eutectic alloy and graphene are shown, demonstrating that graphene can be uniformly mixed into the gallium indium eutectic alloy through the above process.
[0052] Figure 4 An optical photograph shows a mixture of gallium indium eutectic alloy and graphene coated on a pre-cured polymer substrate, demonstrating that the mixture of gallium indium eutectic alloy and graphene is uniformly coated using the above coating process.
[0053] Figure 5 An optical photograph of the front of the photothermal and thermally conductive material system prepared by the above method is shown. It can be seen that the upper layer is a photothermal layer made of gallium indium eutectic alloy and reduced graphene oxide core-shell structured nanoparticles.
[0054] Figure 6 An optical photograph of the bottom surface of the photothermal and thermally conductive material system prepared by the above method is shown. It can be seen that the photothermal and thermally conductive material system is filled with a uniform and continuous mixture of gallium indium eutectic alloy and graphene as a thermally conductive material through a transparent polymer substrate.
[0055] Figure 7 Scanning electron microscope images of the cross-section of the photothermal and thermally conductive material system prepared by the above method are shown. It can be seen that the photothermal and thermally conductive material system has a three-layer structure, with a thermally conductive material of about 1000 μm thickness filling the space between the upper photothermal material and the lower polymer substrate.
[0056] Figure 8 This diagram illustrates the measurement of thermal conductivity of a test system consisting of a thermoelectric element and a photothermal / thermal conductive composite material layer prepared by the aforementioned method. As can be seen, the photothermal / thermal conductive composite material layer prepared by the above method is placed on top of the thermoelectric element and the sample under test. Simultaneously, the thermoelectric element and the bottom of the sample under test are tightly integrated with a temperature control system (serving as a constant-temperature substrate). Optical radiation, through the photothermal conversion material, serves as the input heat source for the system, and the thermal conductivity of the material under test is obtained by measuring the output voltage of the thermoelectric element.
[0057] Figure 9The experimental results of the thermal conductivity of the test material and the average output voltage of the thermoelectric element, measured by the above method, are shown. The thermoelectric element (TEC1-12702) with dimensions (30mm long, 30mm wide, 4mm thick) was purchased from Guangzhou Herui Electronics Co., Ltd. The dimensions of the test sample are the same as those of the thermoelectric element. The temperature control system (i.e., the constant-temperature substrate) was set at 15℃. The thickness of the photothermal layer was 50μm, the thickness of the polymer layer below the photothermal layer was 300μm, the thickness of the thermally conductive material layer was 1.14mm, and the thickness of the bottom polymer substrate was 200μm. The dimensions of the prepared photothermal / thermally conductive composite material layer were 60mm long and 30mm wide. A xenon lamp with a power density of 1000 W / m² was used. 2 The processing time for light radiation is 6 minutes.
[0058] As shown in the figure, the output voltage of the thermoelectric element decreases as the thermal conductivity of the sample increases. Based on this measurement result, a curve relating the output voltage of the thermoelectric element to the thermal conductivity of the sample can be fitted, and then the thermal conductivity of the unknown material can be measured using this method.
[0059] A kaolin sample was prepared as the test sample. After measurement with a thermal conductivity meter, the thermal conductivity of the sample was 0.56 ± 0.031 W / mK. Following the above testing procedure, the measured thermal conductivity of the kaolin sample was 0.57 W / mK, which is very close to the value measured by the thermal conductivity meter. This indicates that the determination method of the present invention has good feasibility.

[0065] Example 28: The process is largely the same as in Example 1, except that the low-melting-point liquid metal and other high thermal conductivity fillers are mixed in a vacuum using a planetary mixer during the preparation of the thermally conductive material.
