Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of nanocomposite material preparation technology, and particularly relates to a method for preparing a composite functional material thin film. Background Technology

[0002] Vanadium oxide (VO) x ) is a class of widely used materials whose oxidation state can be tunable (V 2+ -V 5+ This allows for the formation of various stoichiometric phases (V₂O₃, VO₂, V₂O₅) with different functional properties. x The mixed valence states, structural flexibility, and strong electronic interactions of V₂ highlight its potential as an advanced multifunctional material in a wide range of applications. For example, VO₂ undergoes a reversible metal-insulator phase transition (MIT) at approximately 68°C, transforming from an insulating monoclinic phase to a metallic rutile phase. This phase transition, driven by strong electronic correlations, makes it applicable to fields such as smart windows, electronic and optical switches, and infrared sensors. On the other hand, V₂O₅ possesses a unique layered structure and exhibits high redox activity and excellent ionic conductivity, making it a highly promising candidate material for applications such as batteries, supercapacitors, gas sensors, and catalysts.

[0003] Traditional VO x Valence state control methods typically require high temperatures and strong reducing agents. These processes are not only energy-intensive but also introduce impurities, alter crystallinity, and compromise the material's functionality and structural integrity. Furthermore, maintaining the stability of the oxide phase while achieving valence state control remains a challenge, especially in applications requiring uniform and defect-free nanostructures. These limitations underscore the necessity of developing innovative and efficient processing strategies to precisely control valence state while preserving material purity and functionality. x The price state.

[0004] In recent years, gold nanoparticles (AuNPs), as a class of versatile functional nanomaterials, have attracted widespread attention in various technological applications due to their unique physicochemical properties. A significant characteristic of AuNPs is their localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) effect, which enables them to interact strongly with light, especially in the near-infrared region. This property allows AuNPs to convert near-infrared light into heat energy, offering significant advantages in photothermal therapy (e.g., cancer hyperthermia and bacterial clearance). Furthermore, AuNPs exhibit excellent catalytic activity, conductivity, and biocompatibility, further expanding their potential applications in biosensing, nanomedicine / drug delivery, and energy-related technologies.

[0005] AuNPs and vanadium oxide (VO) xThe combination of these two materials can fully utilize their unique properties and produce novel nanocomposite materials with enhanced functions, thus enabling their application in a wide range of fields. Traditional VO x Synthesis methods for / AuNP composite materials, such as high-temperature treatment or chemical reduction, typically require long reaction times, the use of reducing agents, and harsh reaction conditions, all of which can lead to the generation of unwanted byproducts and impurities. Furthermore, traditional multi-step processes involving "synthesizing nanoparticles first and then composite" struggle to achieve the desired results with gold nanoparticles and VOCs. x Uniform dispersion and tight interfacial bonding at the nanoscale limit further improvements in material properties. These limitations underscore the need to develop more efficient, flexible, and environmentally friendly VOCs. x The necessity of the synthesis method of / AuNP composite materials.

[0006] Therefore, it is necessary to develop a method for achieving VO under mild conditions. x A simple, efficient, and green preparation method for valence state regulation and in-situ generation of gold nanoparticles is of great significance for promoting the development of multifunctional nanocomposite materials. Summary of the Invention

[0007] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this invention proposes a plasma-based VO... x Au / PVA composite functional films, their preparation methods, and applications. This method enables the in-situ generation of gold nanoparticles and the regulation of vanadium oxide valence state under mild conditions, thereby obtaining multifunctional composite materials with uniform structure, good dispersion, and excellent performance.

[0008] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution of the present invention is implemented as follows:

[0009] A plasma-based VO x The preparation method of Au / PVA composite functional thin film is as follows:

[0010] (1) Dissolve polyvinyl alcohol in deionized water and ultrasonically disperse it to form a homogeneous PVA solution;

[0011] (2) Add gold precursor solution and vanadium source solution to the PVA solution obtained in step (1), mix and stir evenly to obtain reaction precursor solution;

[0012] (3) The reaction precursor solution is treated under atmospheric pressure by plasma-induced liquid phase chemistry (PiLC) method, that is, by using a micro plasma device with needle-liquid discharge structure, so that the active species generated in the system drive the vanadium oxide to change from high valence state to low valence state, and simultaneously realize the in-situ generation of Au nanoparticles.

[0013] (4) The solution after step (3) is cast into a mold (e.g., poured into a petri dish) and dried to obtain VO. x / Au / PVA composite functional film, in which VO x The components are VO2, V2O3, and V2O5.

[0014] Furthermore, the concentration of the PVA solution in step (1) above is 0.5-2.0 wt%.

[0015] The gold precursor is selected from one or more of chloroauric acid (HAuCl4), gold chloride, and gold complexes; the vanadium source is selected from one or more of vanadium pentoxide (V2O5), ammonium metavanadate, and metavanadate.

[0016] In a further preferred embodiment, the gold precursor is chloroauric acid, and the vanadium source is vanadium pentoxide.

[0017] In the above-mentioned reaction precursor solution, the concentration of chloroauric acid is 0.05-0.4 mM, and the concentration of vanadium source is 0.05-0.4 mM.

[0018] The aforementioned plasma treatment device is a micro-plasma device with a needle-liquid discharge structure, including an anode, a cathode, a solution, a flow display, and a power supply; wherein the anode is a carbon rod electrode immersed in the solution, and the cathode is a stainless steel tube with an inner diameter of 200-300μm, which is placed vertically 0.5-2 mm above the surface of the mixed liquid.

[0019] Furthermore, in the above plasma treatment, an inert gas is used as the plasma working gas with a flow rate of 10-50 SCCM; a high-voltage power supply is used to drive the discharge with a voltage of 1-5 kV and a current of 2-10 mA; the plasma treatment time is 2-8 min, and the reaction solution is stirred during the treatment.

[0020] The drying temperature in step (4) above is room temperature or 40-60℃.

[0021] VO prepared using the above preparation method x / Au / PVA composite functional film. Among them, VO x AuNPs are uniformly loaded onto PVA, with the AuNPs having a particle size range of 10-45 nm; the thickness of the composite functional film is 3-8 μm.

[0022] The above VO x Applications of Au / PVA composite functional films in smart dimming materials, antibacterial coatings, or photothermal functional devices.

[0023] The beneficial effects of this invention are:

[0024] (1) This invention utilizes a one-step plasma-induced liquid-phase chemistry (PiLC) method, using polyvinyl alcohol aqueous solution as the reaction system. By introducing a gold precursor and a vanadium source, the valence state of vanadium oxide and the in-situ generation of gold nanoparticles are achieved under atmospheric pressure micro-plasma, avoiding the traditional multi-step process. Moreover, this process does not require external reducing agents or high-temperature treatment, and has the characteristics of simple process, low energy consumption and environmental friendliness.

[0025] (2) In the composite material prepared by the present invention, VO x Gold nanoparticles are uniformly dispersed in the PVA matrix with tight interfacial bonding. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) characterization revealed a uniform nanostructure distribution without significant agglomeration. The PVA matrix, acting as a dispersion and stabilizing medium, inhibits nanoparticle aggregation and provides excellent film-forming properties, resulting in a uniform, self-supporting thin film structure. These structural features enhance interfacial interactions and energy transfer efficiency, thereby improving the material's photothermal response and antibacterial properties, achieving synergistic enhancement of multifunctional performance, and further improving the material's structural stability.

[0026] (3) The composite functional film prepared by the present invention has both thermochromic properties and photothermal response capability, and exhibits good antibacterial properties. It can be applied to fields such as smart dimming materials, antibacterial coatings and photothermal functional devices.

[0027] (4) This method is applicable to aqueous systems and is easy to achieve thin film production and large-scale preparation. Attached Figure Description

[0059] (3) The reaction precursor solution was treated using a micro-plasma device. The treatment conditions were as follows: the cathode was placed about 1 mm above the liquid surface, the helium flow rate was 25 SCCM, the discharge voltage was 2 kV, the current was 5 mA, the treatment time was 10 min, and the mixture was stirred during the treatment.

[0060] (4) The treated solution was poured into a petri dish and allowed to dry naturally at room temperature to form a film, yielding VO x / PVA-10min composite functional film. The thickness of the composite functional film is 5 μm.

[0061] Comparative Example 2

[0062] The preparation method of the V2O5 / PVA composite functional film in this comparative example differs from that in Example 3 in that the precursor solution does not contain HAuCl4 and is not subjected to plasma treatment. The steps are as follows:

[0064] (2) Add vanadium pentoxide (V2O5) solution to the PVA solution obtained in step (1) to make the V2O5 concentration 0.2mM, and stir thoroughly to obtain a homogeneous reaction precursor solution.

[0065] (3) Pour the reaction precursor solution obtained in step (2) into a petri dish and allow it to dry naturally at room temperature to form a film, thereby obtaining a V2O5 / PVA composite functional film. The thickness of the composite functional film is 5 μm.

[0089] Implementation Results Example

[0090] The optical properties of the composite films prepared in Example 3, Comparative Example 1, and Comparative Example 2 were tested, and the results are as follows: Figure 5 As shown. VO processed by PiLC x / PVA-10 min and VO xThe transmittance of the / Au / PVA films decreased significantly with temperatures of 10 min, with modulation depths (ΔT) of 2.8% and 3.4%, respectively. This decrease in near-infrared transmittance with increasing temperature is consistent with the known thermochromic behavior of VO2, which is driven by the electron-structure coupling transition from a low-temperature monoclinic insulating phase to a high-temperature rutile metallic phase.

[0091] Figure 6 The image shows the photothermal response curve of the composite film under near-infrared light irradiation. Figure 6 a demonstrates V2O5 / PVA (Comparative Example 2), VO x / PVA-10 min (Comparative Example 1) and VO x Temperature curves of the / Au / PVA film under irradiation with different near-infrared laser powers (Example 3) after 10 min. x The temperature of the / Au / PVA film increased significantly and rapidly after 10 min at a power of 12 W (power density approximately 0.96 W / cm³). 2 After irradiation for 2 minutes, the temperature reached approximately 48°C at a power of 16 W (power density approximately 1.27 W / cm³). 2 After 2 minutes of irradiation, the temperature exceeded 55°C. In comparison, V2O5 / PVA and VO x The temperature rise of the PVA-10 min film is negligible. Figure 6 b shows that under 12 W near-infrared light irradiation, VO x The / Au / PVA-10 min film reached 48°C within 60 seconds and then maintained a stable temperature (48-55°C is the effective temperature range for killing bacteria). This rapid heating is attributed to the localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) of the gold nanoparticles, where incident near-infrared light excited the collective oscillation of conductive electrons on the surface of the gold nanoparticles.
