The invention discloses a multi-layer flexible
radiation cooling composite diaphragm which structurally comprises a flexible base layer film, and a SiO2 inorganic
coating, a first layer of
polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF), a nano-silver layer deposited by magnetron
sputtering and a second layer of PVDF which are sequentially coated to form a base layer film / SiO2 / PVDF / Ag / PVDF sandwich structure. The SiO2 layer is prepared through a
sol-
gel method, the
surface roughness is smaller than 2 nm, and the visible light
transmittance is larger than 95%; the thickness of the silver layer is 50 + / -5 nm, and the
total thickness of SiO2 / PVDF / Ag does not exceed 150 nm. According to the composite diaphragm,
ultraviolet reflection, visible light
high transmission (greater than 92%) and near-
infrared high reflection (greater than 88%) are realized through spectrum selective regulation and control, and meanwhile, SiO2 and PVDF synergistically enhance the
infrared emissivity of an atmospheric window
wave band (8-13 [mu] m). The flexible PET base material is combined with the PVDF interlayer design to restrain silver layer oxidation and interface stripping, the
recovery rate is larger than 95% after 1000 times of bending circulation, and the NIR
reflectivity attenuation is smaller than or equal to 5%. The composite diaphragm disclosed by the invention has the advantages of high
light transmission, efficient cooling, excellent flexibility and long-term stability, and is suitable for flexible scenes such as agricultural greenhouses and the like.
