Description
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of light valves, in particular to a light valve and a preparation method thereof.
Background
A light valve is a device that can adjust the luminous flux, and the light valve has been studied for half a century. Light valves are generally classified into three categories, depending on the dimming principle: polymer Dispersed Liquid Crystals (PDLCs), electrochrome devices (ECs) and Suspended Particle Devices (SPDs), all of which are realized by sandwiching an electroactive component between two transparent electrodes. In the electrochemical color-changing device, through obtaining and losing electrons to change color, the electroactive component is a chemical substance which can generate oxidation-reduction reaction in an electromagnetic field applied by two transparent electrodes, namely, the electrochromic material obtains and loses electrons to change color; in the liquid crystal device, the electric active component is liquid crystal molecules, and the regulation and control of the luminous flux are realized by applying electromagnetic fields on two transparent electrodes to change the crystal structure; in the suspended particle device, the electroactive component is suspended particles, and the light flux is regulated and controlled by changing the motion orientation of the suspended particles through applying an electromagnetic field to two transparent electrodes so as to rearrange the suspended particles.
Among the various light valves, the suspended particle device is favored by more researchers due to its advantages of excellent weather resistance, rich color, high transparency controllability, and the like. Generally, SPD light valves are composed of two transparent electrodes and a light modulating layer sandwiched between the transparent electrodes, typically comprising an insulating liquid phase organic polymer, and suspended particles having internal dipole moments suspended in the polymer. When the external voltage is not switched on, the suspended particles do random Brownian motion, the integral light transmission is poor, and the light valve is in an opaque state; when external voltage is connected, the suspended particles are directionally arranged into a straight line along the direction of the electric field under the action of the external electric field, so that the incident light can partially or almost completely penetrate through the light valve, and the aim of dimming is fulfilled. The technology is applied to the wave sound 787 airplane windows, the high-grade automobile windows and the showcases of certain museums, and the technology is increasingly brought into the field of vision of the masses with further research on light valves at home and abroad.
However, the suspended particles currently applied to the SPD light valve are mainly nanorods, and the preparation technology of the suspended particles based on the shapes of the nanorods is relatively mature, but the types of materials are limited, and the synthesis technology of the suspended particle nanorods is monopolized by technologies of the united states, israel and other countries, so that some high and new technology enterprises in China take steps in the research and development process, and the commercial and civil processes of the light valve products in China are greatly limited. The most widely used suspended particles in the prior art are quinine iodosulfate (Herapathite) nanorods, the chemical formula of which is 4C 20 H 24 N 2 O 2 ·3H 2 SO 4 ·2HI·I 4 ·6H 2 And O. From the chemical composition, quinine iodosulfate is unstable in various organic and inorganic solvents, and has poor thermal stability due to the existence of iodine element. This not only causes difficulty in the fabrication of the suspended media in the SPD, but also greatly constrains the environmental tolerance of the SPD. Although scholars have attempted to improve the stability of suspended particles by substituting iodine elements with other halogens, the presence of organic components in the product has left this approach to solve the problem essentially.
Therefore, it is important for those skilled in the art to develop a new suspended particle application to obtain a more stable SPD light valve device.
Disclosure of Invention
In order to solve the problems, the invention provides a light valve and a preparation method thereof, and an SPD light valve with good stability is prepared by taking bismuth oxyhalide nanosheets with proper internal dipole moments as suspended particles.
The invention provides a light valve, which comprises two layers of transparent electrodes and a dimming layer sandwiched between the two layers of transparent electrodes, wherein the dimming layer comprises a suspension liquid, suspension particles of bismuth oxyhalide nanosheets are uniformly dispersed in the suspension liquid, the chemical formula of the bismuth oxyhalide is BiOX, and X is selected from at least one of F, Cl, Br and I.
Preferably, the bismuth oxyhalide is selected from one of BiOF and BiOBr.
The molecule is electrically neutral, but due to the difference of spatial configuration, the positive and negative charge centers may or may not coincide, the former is called non-polar molecule, the latter is called polar molecule, in physics, the product of the distance r between the positive and negative charge centers and the charge amount q charged by the charge center is called dipole moment μ ═ r × q, the size of the molecular polarity can be measured by dipole moment μ, and the larger the dipole moment, the larger the molecular polarity is. Bismuth oxyhalide is easy to crystallize into a tetragonal nanosheet under the condition of a liquid phase, and the nanosheet has a layered property, namely atoms are orderly arranged in a long-range (along an a/b axis) crystal plane to form a nanosheet laminate. Because the density difference of electron clouds between anions and cations in the bismuth oxyhalide nano-sheet is large, and atoms are stacked on a nano-sheet laminate in a long range, the material has stronger dipole moment in the a/b crystal direction. Under the action of an external electric field, the bismuth oxyhalide nanosheets are polarized, are overturned from random Brownian motion and are directionally arranged along the a/b axis (namely the nanosheet laminate is perpendicular to the electric field), so that visible light can pass through, and the purpose of regulating and controlling the throughput of the visible light is achieved.
In some of these embodiments, the bismuth oxyhalide nanosheets have a planar dimension of less than 4 μm and a thickness of less than 300 nm.
Preferably, the planar size of the bismuth oxyhalide nanosheets is less than 1 μm, and the thickness is less than 50 nm.
In some of these embodiments, the mass fraction of bismuth oxyhalide nanoplates in the suspension is 0.05-4.0%.
Preferably, the mass fraction of the bismuth oxyhalide nanosheets in the suspension is 0.1-2.0%.
There are many factors that affect the turning of suspended particles in an electric field, and since suspended particles in SPD light valves are solid particles, the coordination of the dipole size of the suspended particles themselves and the particle size is crucial. When the particle size is too large, the moment effect of the particles in an electric field is insufficient to support the particles to turn, so that the control on the luminous flux cannot be realized; when the particle size is too small, the required concentration of suspended particles can increase significantly based on the rate of change of the light valve on and off light flux and the requirement for the dark state of the light valve.
In a second aspect, the present invention further provides a method for manufacturing the light valve, including the following steps: uniformly mixing bismuth oxyhalide nanosheets and a suspension medium to obtain a suspension, adding spacing balls into the suspension, and then packaging the suspension mixed with the spacing balls between two layers of transparent electrodes to obtain the target device.
In some embodiments, the bismuth oxyhalide nanosheets are prepared using a wet chemical process, which is a hydrothermal process, a precipitation process, a microwave process, or an interfacial process. The bismuth oxyhalide nanosheet of the present invention may also be prepared by other wet chemical methods, which are not limiting of the present invention. In addition, when the bismuth oxyhalide nanosheet is prepared by a wet chemical method, the bismuth source thereof may be selected from at least one of hydrated or non-hydrated salts such as bismuth nitrate, bismuth chloride, bismuth sulfate and the like.
In some of these embodiments, the suspension medium is selected from at least one of a siloxane, an acrylic, an alkylene oxide based monomer, or a polymer.
Preferably, the suspension medium is an acrylic polymer.
In some of these embodiments, the viscosity of the suspension medium is less than 2000 cp.
The suspension medium can keep the suspension state of the suspended particles in the suspension liquid, and when the viscosity of the suspension medium is proper, the bismuth oxyhalide nanosheets can be uniformly distributed in the suspension liquid, so that the prepared light valve is uniform in light transmission, and the nanosheets can be freely turned over in the suspension liquid under the action of an electric field, and the dimming effect is realized; and when the viscosity of the suspension is too high, the turnover of the nanosheets is limited, so that the device cannot embody the dimming function.
In some of these embodiments, the spacer balls have a size of 10-200 μm.
In some of the embodiments, the transparent electrode is selected from at least one of an ITO conductive glass, an ITO conductive film, a nano Ag wire conductive film, a nano Cu wire conductive film, a PEDOT conductive film, a graphene conductive film, and a carbon nanotube conductive film.
In a third aspect, the invention further provides an application of the bismuth oxyhalide nanosheet in a light valve.
The inventor of the invention utilizes the nano-sheet with internal dipole moment as the suspended particle, and the nano-sheet is overturned to be parallel to the electric field line under the action of the electric field, thereby realizing the control of the visible light transmittance. In the invention, the bismuth oxyhalide nanosheet has excellent shading effect in the initial state of the device, and the mass fraction of the bismuth oxyhalide nanosheet in the suspension is only 0.1-2.0%, which is significantly less than at least 2-10% of the mass fraction of the bismuth oxyhalide nanosheet when the nanorod is used as suspended particles; meanwhile, the reduction of the content of the particles can effectively avoid the occurrence of agglomeration phenomenon, further ensure the uniformity of the particles dispersed in the suspension, and further ensure the uniformity of shading and light transmission of the device.
Compared with the prior art, the invention has the beneficial effects that:
(1) the invention provides a scheme for preparing the light valve by using bismuth oxyhalide nanosheets, particularly BiOF nanosheets and BiOBr nanosheets as suspended particles, develops the new application of the bismuth oxyhalide nanosheets and expands the optional range of the SPD light valve. The light valve provided by the invention has the advantages that the visible light transmittance is about 5% in the closed state and 25-32% in the open state, and the effect of regulating the luminous flux is good.
(2) The bismuth oxyhalide nanosheets with internal dipole moments are overturned in an electric field for directional distribution, so that the visible light transmittance is controlled, before electrification, the bismuth oxyhalide nanosheets move irregularly and are randomly distributed in positions, the absorption and reflection of visible light are large, and the light valve light transmittance is low; after the power is switched on, the bismuth oxyhalide nanosheets are overturned and directionally arranged under the action of an electric field due to dipole moments of the bismuth oxyhalide nanosheets and are perpendicular to the electrodes, so that the light valve device is changed from a shading state to a light-passing state. Because the bismuth oxyhalide nanosheets are all inorganic materials, the physical and chemical properties are relatively stable, and the SPD light valve prepared by taking the bismuth oxyhalide nanosheets as suspended particles has stable performance and good environmental adaptability.
(3) The suspended particle bismuth oxyhalide nanosheet used in the invention can be prepared by a conventional wet chemical method, the limitations of reaction mode, reaction raw materials, reaction conditions and the like are small, and the source of the raw materials is expanded. Meanwhile, the light valve can be prepared by a conventional method, a light valve device with good performance is obtained by selecting proper size, mass fraction and viscosity of the suspension medium of the bismuth oxyhalide nanosheet, and the preparation process is simple and is suitable for production and popularization.

Under the condition of no external electric field, that is, the light valve 100 is in an off state, at this time, the bismuth oxyhalide nanosheet suspended particles 105 in the suspending medium 104 are in random positions due to random brownian motion, the light beam incident into the light valve 100 is absorbed/scattered, the overall light transmittance is poor, and the light valve is in an opaque state. When an electric field is applied to the light valve 100, that is, the light valve 100 is in an on state, at this time, the two-dimensional structure bismuth oxyhalide nanosheet suspended particles 105 in the dimming layer 102 are polarized under the action of the electric field, and are converted from random brownian motion into a state of being directionally arranged along the direction of electric field lines, so that the light beams can pass through the light valve 100 according to the arrangement of the electric field lines in the direction parallel to each other, and the light valve is relatively transparent. Therefore, the motion state of the bismuth oxyhalide nanosheet suspended particles is controlled through closing of the electric field, and the purpose of controlling luminous flux to adjust light is achieved.
More specifically, the chemical formula of the bismuth oxyhalide is BiOX, wherein X is selected from at least one of F, Cl, Br and I; preferably, the bismuth oxyhalide is selected from one of BiOF and BiOBr.
And the plane size of the bismuth oxyhalide nano-sheets is less than 4 μm, and the thickness of the bismuth oxyhalide nano-sheets is less than 300nm, and preferably, the plane size of the bismuth oxyhalide nano-sheets is less than 1 μm, and the thickness of the bismuth oxyhalide nano-sheets is less than 50 nm.
Further, the mass fraction of the bismuth oxyhalide nano-sheets in the suspension is 0.05-4.0%; preferably, the mass fraction of the bismuth oxyhalide nanosheets in the suspension is 0.1-2.0%.
Meanwhile, the selection of the bismuth source may include, but is not limited to, at least one of hydrated and/or non-hydrated salts of bismuth nitrate, bismuth chloride, bismuth sulfate, bismuth chlorate, and the like.
