Description

Preparation of intelligent window middle interlayer hydrogel with solar spectrum modulation
Technical Field
The application belongs to the technical field of gel materials, and particularly relates to preparation of an intelligent window middle interlayer hydrogel with solar spectrum modulation.
Background
The world population growth and rapid modernization have led to increased energy demands, requiring a high degree of energy efficiency. In developing countries, building energy use accounts for 40% of total energy consumption, exceeding that of the industry and transportation sector. Among all building elements, a window is considered one of the least energy efficient parts, because it always performs heat transfer in the opposite direction to the desired direction. Building windows intelligently regulate indoor solar radiation by changing their optical transmittance in response to temperature stimuli are considered to be a promising solution to reduce building energy consumption. The traditional large-area glass (window and glass curtain wall) ensures indoor comfort, good outdoor contact and natural lighting of the building, but cannot adapt to changing weather and seasons, is not energy-saving, causes too much solar energy to flow in, and involves a large amount of heat loss. Static window covering technology, such as blinds and paint, provides some energy savings, as well as visual and thermal comfort to the building user, but does not completely solve this problem. Blinds provide glare control, but are expensive to install. Dynamic glass (smart Electrochromic (EC), thermochromic or photochromic windows) has great promise for applications in building windows, with the possibility of adjusting in real time the solar transmittance (solar intake and solar energy) according to internal and external changes, or simply to the wishes of the occupants. Recently, smart windows have received great attention because of their potentially significant contribution to saving building energy. The window may regulate indoor solar radiation in a "smart" manner, i.e., by dynamically and reversibly regulating the transmission of Ultraviolet (UV), visible, and Infrared (IR) solar radiation. The development of smart windows can be largely divided into electrical, thermal and optical timed optical response changes. Among these, thermal response is distinguished by the fact that no work input devices need to be provided. Recently, energy-saving smart window technology attracts more and more scientific interest, and the exploration of novel energy-saving materials and the combination with practical technology create various required versatility.
Materials for thermochromic smart windows are largely classified into inorganic phase change materials and organic polymer materials. The inorganic phase change material mainly comprises vanadium dioxide, and the phase transition point of the inorganic phase change material can be adjusted by doping other atoms. In general, undoped vanadium dioxide undergoes a phase transition at 68 ℃ and a transition from an insulator to a conductor occurs after the phase transition, so that an increase in the loss of electromagnetic waves in the infrared band in the material results in an increase in the absorption of electromagnetic waves in the infrared band. Essentially, the transformation from the monoclinic phase to the rutile phase occurs, resulting in a significant amount of free electrons within the vanadium dioxide material (NPGAsia Materials,2018,10 (7): 581-605.).
The organic material is mainly a crystalline phase-change polymer film and thermochromic hydrogel, and the hydrogel is a hydrophilic polymer chain network with a water-rich environment and is applied to various fields including bionic engineering, biological implants and drug delivery systems. In recent years, hydrogels are suitable for smart windows using different mechanisms due to their widely tunable chemical and physical properties. The useful properties of the hydrogel material are imparted with the inherent dynamic and reversible nature of its non-covalent interactions, thereby enhancing the performance of the overall smart window system.
Thermochromic hydrogels are particularly excellent materials for smart window applications: most thermochromic hydrogels undergo reversible hydrophilic/hydrophobic phase changes near the Lower Critical Solution Temperature (LCST) (Materials Horizons,2017,4 (2): 109-116.). At temperatures above the LCST, the hydrogen bonds break and then the polymer chains increase and the hydrophobic association becomes effective. However, once the temperature is below the LCST, intermolecular hydrogen bonds become dominant and may dominate between the polymer chains and surrounding water molecules. Thermochromic hydrogels allow the passage of incident light at low temperatures while strongly scattering the incident light at higher temperatures due to the formation of scattering centers of the aggregated polymer particles (Joule, 2019,3 (1): 290-302.).
To achieve optimal energy regulation, two types of radiant heat flux should be considered: solar radiation from the sun and thermal radiation from objects. The polymer has higher solar transmittance at low temperature due to the index matching with water. Beyond the critical temperature, the phase separation of the hydrogel produces strong internal scattering, resulting in low solar transmittance. The spectrum modulation of the solar energy source comprises visible light and near infrared radiation, so that the solar energy source has strong solar energy modulation capability. The water as a high-emissivity material has higher emissivity in a middle infrared band for heat radiation of an object, and the molecular structure of the intelligent window material is reasonably designed, and a group (ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces, 2022) with strong absorption for middle infrared is grafted. The materials can be highly absorbed for the middle infrared rays by matching with each other, so that the high emission for the middle infrared rays is realized, and the materials are particularly aimed at an atmospheric window.
However, it is notable that the previous hydrophobically associating gels were opaque (Chemical Engineeri ng Journal (2019): 325-338;Journal of Polymer Science Part B:Polymer Phys ics 55.13 (2017): 1036-1044;ACS Applied Materials&Interfaces 11.51 (2019): 48428-48436), and high haze made application on smart windows difficult.
The material related by the application is polyvinyl alcohol modified by a short alkane chain, wherein the polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) can be used for various applications due to the mature industrialized production, low cost and biodegradability (please refer to Polymer44 (12) (2003) 3553-3560); butyraldehyde and the like are all extractable from fossil fuels (Polymer Chemistry,2021,12 (34): 4961-4973), but to date there has been no hydrophobic associated physically crosslinked hydrogel with reversible phase change designed by solvent-poor solvent phase inversion and used in smart windows.

1) Adding the prepared PVA-C4 particles into N, N-Dimethylformamide (DMF) to prepare a solution of 100mg/mL, and stirring at 90 ℃ for 12h until the solution is dissolved to obtain a transparent homogeneous solution with the concentration of 100mg/mL; the solution was sonicated (time 30 min) and degassed in a vacuum oven for 1h to completely remove bubbles.

Performance test:
1. nuclear magnetism
The starting PVA-C4 was characterized on a Bruker400MHz nuclear magnetic resonance apparatus to confirm that post-modification of PVA, i.e., grafting of the short alkane to the polyvinyl alcohol, was completed as follows: use d 6 DMSO is used as a solvent, 6mg PVA-C4 is added to complete dissolution at 70℃, and the dissolution is carried out 1 HNMR spectroscopic analysis, as shown in fig. 2.
As can be seen from FIG. 2, the modification ratio of PVA-C4 was 30% (degree of substitution, DS, DS=2X 2 /(X 1 +2X 2 ) X100%, 2X of the molecule in the formula 2 Represents the number of hydroxyl groups substituted by side chains, denominator X 1 +2X 2 Representing the total hydroxyl number of the polyvinyl alcohol, defining a modification ratio DS as the ratio of the number of substituted hydroxyl groups to the total hydroxyl number), which modification ratio DS is generally determined by 1 The peak integration area of HNMR spectrum is calculated equivalently, i.e., DS will be calculated using the following formula:
A 12 refers to the area of hydrogen atoms contained in carbon number 12, where the value is 1, A 2+4 The areas of hydrogen atoms contained in carbon number 2 and carbon number 4, which are 2.2, are calculated to have a DS of 30%.
The modification rate further ensures that an intelligent phase change window intermediate layer (PVA-C4-gel) has ideal phase change reversibility and long-wave infrared emission, the modification rate is not too high (the solvent is difficult to volatilize and cannot form transparent gel) and also is not too low (the quantity of hydrophobic association side chains is less and cannot be entangled with gel).
2. High light transmittance
The PVA-C4-gel was subjected to ultraviolet-visible (UV) spectroscopy using an ultraviolet-visible spectrophotometer (PerkinElmer Lambda, 950), the spectral range was set to 280-780nm, light transmission (T) was measured, and an optical curve was plotted as shown in FIG. 3. The gel specimens tested were 15mm in diameter and 300 μm thick in thickness.
As can be seen from fig. 3, PVA-C4-gel shows high light transmittance, t=90-92%% at 500 nm.
3. Mechanical properties
The mechanical properties are mainly divided into a tensile test and a unilateral notch test.
And (5) tensile test. The tensile test was carried out on a pearly sea SANS (CMT 2203) machine equipped with a thermostatic water bath at a temperature of 27 ℃. The tensile test uses rectangular gel specimens 20mm long, 8mm wide and 300mm thick. The deformation rate applied in the test was fixed at 0.17s -1 . Three samples were measured for each structure to calculate the mean and standard deviation. From the stress-strain curve, stress (σ), strain (ε), elastic modulus (E), compliance (1/E) were obtained. Sigma is calculated by dividing the force (F) by the cross-sectional area and epsilon is calculated by dividing the stretched length by the original length. The elastic modulus is calculated from the slope of the stress-strain curve with an elongation of greater than 1% to 5%. The tensile work U is calculated from the integral of the stress-strain curve area:
single edge notch test: tensile tests were carried out using two identical samples of length 20mm, width 8mm and thickness 300. Mu.m. Cutting one of the two samples with a razor blade, introducing a gap of length 2mm along the width, where A is the cross-sectional area of the unnotched sample, L 0 Is the initial distance between the jaws. With the same initial dimensions, stress-tensile curves were measured for notched and unnotched samples. Fracture based on single-side crack methodThe energy is as follows:
wherein λc is the elongation at break of the single-sided notched gel.
As can be seen from FIG. 4, PVA-C4-gel shows the characteristics of an elastic material, can realize high strain (the stretching ratio lambda is as high as 22), toughness (the breaking stress sigma f is as high as 1.17 MPa), and high compliance (155 MPa -1 ) High breaking energy (70 KJ m) 2 ) The PVA-C4-gel shows strong mechanical properties, so that the intelligent window prepared from the material has higher mechanical robustness, and a road is paved for the next-generation flexible intelligent window.
4. Thermoplastic Properties
PVA-C4-gel was fixed at both ends of the tensile machine and soaked in 80℃water baths, and stress relaxation was performed while maintaining strains of 50%, 100%, 150%, 200%, 250%, respectively (FIG. 5).
The transparent hydrogel PVA-C4-gel is placed in a matched polytetrafluoroethylene mould (with a base arc radius of 8.6mm and a total diameter of 15 mm) after customized polishing, and is fixed by a stainless steel clip, so that the functions of shaping and balancing pressure are achieved. Then the whole die is placed in hot water at 80 ℃ for 2min, and then the die is quickly transferred into water at 27 ℃ and soaked for 2min. And unloading, namely sequentially removing the clamp, the die and the gel, wherein the obtained transparent film with a certain radian (step is shown in figure 5), and the PVA-C4-gel can realize quick stress relaxation for 1 minute at 80 ℃ in figure 5, so that the PVA-C4-gel can be processed in hot water for a short time to mould a certain shape, has low requirements on equipment, and can meet the requirements on custom windows with different shapes.
5. High heat capacity properties
The good specific heat capacity ensures that the heat storage material can store a large amount of heat, and the relatively high thermal conductivity ensures that the heat stored in the material is uniformly distributed, so that the heat storage efficiency is improved. Some commercial high heat storage materials include paraffin waxes, fatty acids and inorganic salts, which are a class of Phase Change Materials (PCMs), but transparency is important for window applications due to lack of transparency critical to the window.
The application adopts a sapphire method to test the heat capacity of PVA-C4-gel before and after swelling on a low temperature differential scanning calorimeter (DSC 3, metrele-tolidol) platform. As a result, as shown in FIG. 6, it can be seen that the PVA-C4-gel hydrogel after swelling exhibited a higher heat capacity due to the introduction of water (3.1 KJkg -1 K) The intelligent window prepared by the method has strong heat storage performance.
6. Low cytotoxicity
Calpain AM (0.5. Mu.L/mL) and propidium iodide (0.5. Mu.L/mL) were diluted in DPBS to stain, and the medium was removed and added to the wells. The cells were then incubated in a dark environment at 37℃for 30 minutes. Live cells (green staining) and dead cells (red staining) were imaged on days 1, 2 and 3 of culture using an inverted fluorescence microscope (zeiss). WI-38 was cultured at 5000 cells/well in 96-well tissue culture plates (BD Biosciences). The PVA-C4-gel hydrogel was soaked in complete medium at 37℃for 48 hours to prepare a leaching medium. Proliferation of WI-38 was quantified by MTT assay. Absorbance was measured at 450nm with a microplate reader on days 1, 2, and 3 of culture. The results are shown in FIG. 7.
As can be seen from FIG. 7, the bar graph of PVA-C4-gel shows that the material has less cytotoxicity to WI-38 from human embryonic tissue differentiation, has good biocompatibility, and is very suitable as a window material.
7. PVA-C4-gel intelligent response hydrogel recycling process
According to the application, PVA-C4-gel is sheared, dried and dissolved in DMF according to the same concentration to obtain a well-dispersed homogeneous solution. The solution was then poured into a glass mold again and evaporated under 13% humidity to give Re (PVA-C4-gel). From FIG. 8, re (PVA-C4-gel) also maintains this thermal response and excellent mechanical properties.
8. Temperature response in the ultraviolet-visible-infrared spectrum
The ultraviolet-visible-near infrared transmittance spectrum was collected on a UV-Vis-NIR spectrophotometer system with integrating sphere (UV-3600 Plus, shimadzu). The spectrophotometer is connected with the heating table and is used for heating and cooling. The spectrum in the wavelength range (2.5-16 μm) was measured by a fourier transform infrared spectrometer (Nicolet 6700, zemerger fly) and a gold-plated integrating sphere.
As can be seen from FIG. 9, the transmittance spectrum of the window prepared from PVA-C4-window in the 0.28-2.5 μm band has a temperature response, i.e., a high transmittance is maintained before phase transition, and a decrease in transmittance is caused after phase transition due to light scattering points generated by segment collapse in the polymer, as compared with the conventional glass, low emission glass. In the mid-infrared band (8-13 μm), in particular, the atmospheric window band, the emissivity (0.96 (before phase transition)/0.95 (after phase transition)) of the PVA-C4-gel sample in the open window band (8-13 μm) is higher than that of the ordinary glass (0.82) and the low-emission glass (0.57) due to the mid-infrared absorption effect imparted by the-C-O-C-chemical bond in the PVA-C4-gel molecule and the water in the condensed structure. In combination with the foregoing, it is demonstrated that PVA-C4-gel window has advantages over common glass and low emissivity glass in reducing indoor temperature and reducing energy consumption in summer. That is, at lower temperatures, the window is transparent, allowing solar energy to transmit; when heating, the window can automatically block sunlight to cut off solar energy gain. The phase change shows high modulation to sunlight spectrum, and the high emissivity is kept before and after the phase change.
9. PVA-C4-window optical modulation coefficient-temperature relationship
Visible light average transmittance (T) lum ) Near infrared average transmittance T IR Average solar spectrum transmittance (T) sol ) Defined by the following equation:
T lum/IR/sol =T lum/IR/sol (@ Low temperature) -T lum/IR/sol (@ high temperature) (6)
Where d is a differential sign and λ is a wavelength.
As can be seen from fig. 10, the transmittance of the smart window to the solar spectrum gradually decreases with the evolution of the phase change process.
10. Outdoor thermal test data comparison of common window materials
The outdoor test compares the energy saving performance of glass panels, low emission glass and PVA-C4-window. It provides an experimental environment for real temperature fluctuations. A box (internal dimensions 15 cm. Times.15 cm. Times.20 cm) with a top glass panel (glass thickness 5mm, dimensions 20 cm. Times.20 cm) was set as a blank, with a thermocouple sensor in the geometric center. The rest of the test apparatus design was identical to the control sample, with the glass panel replaced with low emission glass and PVA-C4-window, respectively. For outdoor demonstration at high temperature, three devices were placed outdoors without any shielding and were directly irradiated with sunlight, and experiments were conducted from 11 pm: 00 starts. Data temperature data was recorded every 10 minutes in Guangzhou.
As can be seen from fig. 11, all windows reached the highest temperature three hours after the start of the experiment, in which the normal glass (blank), the low emission glass and the PVA-C4-window were 87.6 ℃, 78.5 ℃ and 59.6 ℃, respectively, so that the PVA-C4-window maintained the indoor temperature at the lowest level at the highest temperature (14:00), and further saved the energy consumption during the peak period of refrigeration electricity consumption in summer compared with the normal glass window (blank) and the low emission glass window.

Therefore, the protection scope of the present application should be subject to the protection scope of the claims.
