超快光热转换聚乳酸滤膜制备及其高效防/除冰应用研究

Preparation of ultrafast photothermal conversion poly(lactic acid) filter membranes and their application for efficient anti/de-icing

  • 摘要: 聚乳酸(PLA)纤维膜因其良好生物可降解性而在空气过滤领域有广阔前景。然而,因其自身的低电活性以及致密的纤维结构,致使高空气阻力和低PMs过滤效率。另一方面,为了扩展在极端寒冷环境下的应用,还需兼顾其光热性能和防/除冰能力。为此, 通过微波辅助合成法制备出结构规整、极小尺寸(~400 nm)的MOF-碳纳米管(CNT)纳米杂化体(NH)。进一步利用静电纺丝工艺制备出高电活性以及具有出色的光热性能的PLA纤维膜,从而获得高效低阻过滤性能以及优异防/除冰性能的PLA/NH纤维膜。相比于Pure PLA,PLA/NH 纤维膜具有更小的纤维直径和更高的电活性,从而带来了更加优异的空气过滤能力,其中,PLA/NH15(NH的含量为15%,Mean = 1.39 μm)的综合过滤性能表现最佳,尤其在高空气流速环境下(85 L/min),其PM0.3过滤效率高达91.7%,而压降仅仅达到110.1 Pa。在光热性能表征以及除冰测试中,NH 的引入发挥了重要作用。在寒冷的环境下(−20℃),模拟一个太阳光强度(1 kW/m2)的照射下即可使PLA/NH 纤维膜表面的温度突破0℃,在最快的98 s表面升温最高可达18℃(PLA/NH15)。同时,PLA/NH15还具有优异的光热转化稳定性。相比于Pure PLA表面水滴的快速结冰(120 s),PLA/NH15表面的水滴由于纤维膜优异的疏水性可以延迟结冰(683 s)。在−20℃和一个太阳光强度照射的环境下,PLA/NH15表面的冰晶可以迅速融化(352 s),而Pure PLA经过1200 s的光照仍未出现融化的迹象。PLA/NH纤维膜优异的光热性能和出色的防/除冰能力使其在空气过滤领域极端寒冷环境展现出广阔的应用前景。

     

    Abstract: Polylactic acid (PLA) fibrous membranes are widely used in the field of air filtration due to their biodegradability. However, low electroactivity and dense fiber structure lead to high air resistance and low PMs filtration efficiency. Meanwhile, to expand their applications in extremely cold environments, their photothermal properties and anti/de-icing capabilities also require to be considered. To this end, MOF-Carbon nanotubes (CNT) nanohybrids (NH) with a regular structure and extremely small size (~400 nm) was prepared by microwave-assisted synthesis. Furthermore, an electrospinning strategy was used to prepare a PLA/NH fibrous membrane with high-efficiency and low-resistance filtration performance and excellent anti/de-icing capabilities. The PLA/NH fibrous membranes had smaller fiber diameter and higher electroactivity, resulting in more excellent filtration ability. Among them, PLA/NH15 (MOF-CNT content of 15%, Mean = 1.39 μm) exhibited the best comprehensive filtration performance. Especially in an environment of a high gas flow rate (85 L/min), PM0.3 filtration efficiency was as high as 91.7%, while the pressure drop only reached 110.1 Pa. In a cold environment (−20℃), the surface temperature of the PLA/NH fibrous membranes could exceed 0℃ under the irradiation of a sun illumination, reaching a maximum of 18℃ in the fastest 98 s (PLA/NH15). At the same time, PLA/NH15 expressed excellent photothermal conversion stability. Compared with the rapid freezing of water droplets on the surface of Pure PLA (120 s), the water droplets on the surface of PLA/NH15 could delay freezing (683 s) due to the excellent hydrophobicity of the fibrous membrane. In an environment of −20℃ and under the irradiation of a sun illumination, the ice crystals on the surface of PLA/NH15 could melt rapidly (352 s), while the Pure PLA shown no sign of melting after 1200 s of a sun illumination. The excellent air filtration performance and outstanding anti/de-icing capabilities of the PLA/NH fibrous membranes made it show broad application prospects in extremely cold environment in the field of air filtration.
