Preparation, characterization, and energy simulation of ZnTiO₃ high near-infrared reflection pigment and its anti-graffiti coating.

ABSTRACT: In the field of cooling materials, ZnTiO₃ (ZT) is still a new member that needs to be further studied. In this paper, pure cubic ZT was synthesized by the sol-gel method, and the effect of calcination temperature on ZT synthesis was investigated. The hydrophobic modification was carried out on ZT to prepare near-infrared reflective thermal insulation functional composite coatings based on silicone resin (SI). Compared with unmodified ZT (U-ZT), the modified ZT (M-ZT) exhibits better dispersion in the SI matrix, contributing to improved solar reflectance and anti-graffiti performance. The EnergyPlus software was used to simulate energy consumption in the air conditioning system. The excellent chemical stability and high NIR reflectance made the synthesized pigments potential cand
