AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

This new type of composition made from zirconium dioxide (ZrO2) nanoparticles mixed together can have both good thermal performance and easy manufacturing processes compared to previous composites. It also increases its electricity conduction without adding any other substances like water or organic solvents during production. Additionally, it does not lose their effectiveness due to dispersion agents being added when casting concrete into form shapes.

Problems solved by technology

This patented technical problem addressed in this patents relates to increasing thermal efficiency when constructing structures made from ceramics containing metal oxides like zirconia. Current methods involve adding more expensive components such as platinum or gold to increase their ability to absorb solar radiation without reducing its overall functioning capacity. Additionally, current techniques aim towards enhancing thermoelectroformance through introducing specific types of particles called quantum dots which enhance both electric conduction and magnetic conductivity. However, these existing solutions may also limit the improvement of thermocouple coefficients due to limitations related to poor electrode characteristics during manufacturing processes.

Abstract

The invention relates to a method for improving a power factor of a cement-based composite material by pretreating zinc oxide, which comprises the following steps: in the preparation process of the cement-based composite material, pretreating zinc oxide micropowder by using a reducing atmosphere, and doping the pretreated zinc oxide micropowder into the cement-based composite material as a thermoelectric component, thereby improving the thermoelectric power factor of the cement-based composite material. The method for pretreating the zinc oxide micro-powder by using the reducing atmosphere comprises the following steps of: weighing ZnO and Al2O3 dry powder, carrying out uniform mixing, adding absolute ethyl alcohol, putting the mixture a ball milling tank, carrying out ball milling througha planetary ball mill, flatly paving the obtained oxide mixed powder on a corundum plate, and carrying out heat treatment in the reducing atmosphere to obtain pretreated zinc oxide micro powder. Themethod is simple in process, the conductivity of the zinc oxide micro powder is improved, the thermoelectric power factor of the cement-based composite material is greatly improved, and the problem that the power factor is not high due to the fact that the Seebeck coefficient of metal oxide is high but the conductivity is low is solved.
