A kind of solar selectively absorbing coating and preparation method thereof
Technical field
The present invention relates to the solar energy heating technical field, specifically is a kind of solar full-glass vacuum tube substrate surface coating for selective absorption and preparation method thereof.
Background technology
The important form of solar energy utilization is a solar thermal utilization, so the preparation of solar energy absorbing coating becomes the important process approach that solar energy optical-thermal utilizes.All-glass vacuum tube is the critical component of solar water heater and heat collector, and the performance of its coating directly influences the hot property of solar water heater and heat collector.
The solar energy optical-thermal range of application is mainly low temperature range (less than 100 ℃) at present, mainly uses the regular solar water heater, and range of application is family, hotel bathing and domestic water and heating.This kind water heater is not high to the temperature requirement of heat collecting element, and the regular solar all-glass vacuum tube can meet the demands.Therefore the solar selectively absorbing coating that uses in this temperature range has been studied with extensive use the Al-N/Al graded films at present, the advantage of this film system and process is, the work of the single target magnetically controlled DC sputtering of Al plated film, equipment is simple to operate, the rete absorptivity is higher, to using the more suitable of all-glass vacuum tube in low temperature range, but use because its infrared emittance obviously raises with the temperature rising for middle temperature and high temperature, the long-term back rete instability of using, cause the heat collector heat waste to increase, the thermal efficiency obviously descends.Be the application requirements of gentle high temperature in adapting to, absorber coatings must be able to be accomplished high-absorbility and low-launch-rate characteristics.
Middle high temperature field (100-300 ℃) and high temperature field (more than 300 ℃) application development progressively begin to become developing direction.Along with the Solar Heater Market of using the Al-N/Al graded films is progressively saturated, and national governments progressively strengthen the energy-conserving and environment-protective attention degree, and the application of solar water heater and heat collector is progressively extended to more wide high-end, high temperature field.High temperature is mainly used in desalinization, industry and agricultural application (as greenhouse gardening etc.) at present.The main in the field product coating of using has film layer structures such as ALNx/Cu, but, although the key Cu of this coating and process is more stable than AL, be that the rete of ALNx structure causes the absorptivity decay bigger because of factors such as oxidations in high temperature range.
High temperature heat collector can be used for solar energy thermal-power-generating.And heat endurance will be got well when the unattenuated high-temperature baking just of high temperature range theca interna performance.The main in the field product coating of using has W+ALN/W, film layer structures such as Mo+ALN/Mo, and still, the key of this coating and process is to adopt high-temperature stable metal such as W, Mo causes sedimentation rate low, and the production cycle is long, complex process, target is rare expensive, the cost height.
For selective coating, most structures are reflecting layer/absorbed layer/anti-reflection layer structure, and most sorbent surface and anti-reflection surface adopt the preparation of plane, especially anti-reflection layer to adopt the plane, this structure is for the high temperature absorber coatings, and shortcoming is higher in the high-temperature region emissivity.

Description of drawings
The present invention will be further described below in conjunction with drawings and embodiments:
Fig. 1 is the cutaway view of solar selectively absorbing coating among the present invention,
Fig. 2 is the local structure for amplifying schematic diagram in the I place among Fig. 1,
Among the figure: pipe in 1,2 substrate layers, 3 stop the thermal diffusion rete, 4 reflecting layer, 5 absorbed layers, 6 little not plane surfaces.
The specific embodiment
As shown in Figure 1, this solar selectively absorbing coating, included the pipe 1 outer surface be docile and obedient the preface setting substrate layer 2, stop thermal diffusion rete 3, reflecting layer 4, absorbed layer 5, little uneven superficial layer 6.Prepare this solar selectively absorbing coating and adopt two target sputtering apparatus, a target adopts Ni, and a target adopts MgO; Separate the interference when preventing plated film between rete between two targets with baffle plate.At first open mechanical pump coating chamber is taken out in advance, drive diffusion pump then, make coating chamber be evacuated to the order of magnitude 10
-3Pa feeds argon gas to the order of magnitude 10
-1Pa.Then the Ni target is powered up and carry out sputter, preparation substrate layer 2.After the substrate layer Ni film thickness of deposition reaches 50~100nm, the Ni target is cut off the power supply.Why substrate layer 2 adopts the Ni film, be to consider to stop that thermal diffusion layer is less than adhesive force to metal level to the adhesive force of glass inner tube, simultaneously because the Ni molecular weight is big, the heat endurance height, its film specular reflective is good, and the Ni film also has the low characteristic of infrared band emissivity, the heat radiation of pipe in effectively reducing, and the Ni material obtains easily, and is low than other high-molecule metal costs.
After substrate layer 2 preparation finishes, the MgO target is powered up sputter, deposition forms the MgO film and promptly stops thermal diffusion rete 3 on substrate layer Ni film, after the MgO film thickness reaches 50~100nm, to the outage of MgO target, stops that 3 preparations of thermal diffusion rete finish.This layer effect is the stability that strengthens solar selectively absorbing coating integral body, improves reflectivity, prevents the diffusion of heat.
Again the Ni target is powered up and carry out sputter, stopping that deposition Ni film is reflecting layer 4 on the thermal diffusion rete.Reflecting layer 4 thickness requirements are 100~200nm.The main effect of this layer is the reflectivity of pipe in improving, and the radiations heat energy of interior pipe is stayed in the interior pipe to greatest extent.
After reflecting layer 4 thickness reach requirement, the MgO target is powered up, preparing the Ni-MgO ceramic thin sheet by Ni target and MgO target co-sputtering is absorbed layer 5.Simultaneously charge into oxygen in argon gas, oxygen is to be used to deposit MgO.It is good that the Ni-MgO ceramic thin sheet has absorptivity is high, infrared emittance is extremely low characteristics and a high high-temp stability.In the two target sputter absorbed layer processes, regulate electrical power, the voltage parameter of two targets and can adjust Ni and the volume ratio of MgO in the metal-dielectric ceramic thin sheet.Along 4 directions to little uneven superficial layer 6 from the reflecting layer, the volume ratio of metal Ni reduces to 0.2 gradually from 0.65 in the absorbed layer 5, and the volume ratio of corresponding M gO is increased to 0.8 gradually from 0.35.Like this, absorbed layer 5 is formed by stacking by the different process layer of a plurality of metal volume fractions exactly, thereby has improved absorptivity greatly, emissivity is reduced to minimum.The process layer that forms in the absorbed layer is many more, and the absorbent properties parameter is good more.Ni-MgO ceramic thin sheet thickness requirement is 130-250nm.
Absorbed layer 5 thickness cut off the power supply to the MgO target after reaching requirement; Feed reacting gas in coating chamber, reacting gas is the hydrocarbon that contains 1~4 carbon, generally in order to guarantee technology simple and handling safety employing methane or acetylene.The Ni target continues the energising sputter, and forming the Ni-C ceramic thin sheet on absorbed layer 5 is little uneven superficial layer 6.And pass through to change gradually content and the current strength that feeds reacting gas, thus change the bombardment intensity of plasma to coating, make the little uneven superficial layer height of formation different with the size of space, thus its refractive index alternation.It is cellular generally to be mountain peak shape or class, as shown in Figure 2.The protrusion of surface size of space that forms is 0.4-2.1 μ m, and near solar spectrum, the sunshine that makes incident is through repeatedly reflecting and reflect and be absorbed by the absorption layer the minimizing emissivity.In little uneven superficial layer preparation process, change the content that feeds reacting gas gradually, make the refractive index alternation of little uneven superficial layer of formation.
After little uneven surface layer thickness reaches 200-400nm, disconnect various sources of the gas and power supply, recover vacuum to the order of magnitude 10
-3Pa, the coating preparation finishes.
This invention is not limited to the foregoing description.
