Description

A kind of method for preparing nano-structure of magnesium
Technical field
The present invention relates to the preparation field of metal and the preparation method and the application thereof of hydrogen storage technology field, especially nano-structure of magnesium.
Background technology
At present, develop the topic that the new energy has become whole world close attention because traditional energy such as coal, oil, natural gas etc. are exhausted day by day and human that environmental issue is more and more paid attention to.Wherein hydrogen energy source is because the characteristic of its specific mass energy content height and cleanliness without any pollution is to be hopeful one of energy of being used widely in 21 century most.But the utilization of hydrogen energy source relates to and stores this committed step, and therefore how storing hydrogen safely and effectively becomes the problem that needs to be resolved hurrily.The research of hydrogen storage material at present mainly contains metal hydride, metallic organic frame complex (MOF), aluminium hydrogen compound, hydroboron and amino-compound etc.Magnesium satisfies the needs of commercial vehicle-mounted hydrogen energy source automobile because its hydrogen storage content is big and aboundresources low price and very likely become practical application hydrogen storage material of new generation.
But Mg simple substance also has certain distance as hydrogen storage material from practicability at present.Matter of utmost importance is that suction hydrogen desorption kinetics character is too poor, and common magnesium granules needs could put hydrogen in suction slowly more than 250 ℃ after hydrogen activation is repeatedly put in suction under 400 ℃ the condition.In addition, though put the hydrogen activation through suction repeatedly, it is complete that common magnesium simple substance still can not be inhaled hydrogen.Nearest research (J.Am.Chem.Soc.127,16675 (2005)) shows that the suction hydrogen desorption kinetics character of Mg and its granular size have the relation that approaches inverse ratio, and particle is more little, and its suction hydrogen desorption kinetics character is good more.But the activity of Mg is very strong, and the nano particle that obtains easily polymerization takes place and grows up, and easy hydrolysis of nano particle and oxidation.Therefore, the Mg of granular size below 30 nanometers rarely has report at present, and the Mg nano particle of being reported also contains a large amount of impurity, and the actual content of Mg (is seen Chem.Mater.19,6052 (2007) less than 20%; Chem.Mater.20,376 (2008) .).Therefore, the higher nanoscale Mg structure of preparation purity has very important theory and practical significance.
Summary of the invention
The purpose of this invention is to provide a kind of method for preparing nanoscale Mg structure, prepared Mg structure is suitable for as hydrogen storage material and reducing agent.
Technical scheme of the present invention is as follows:
A kind of preparation method of nano-structure of magnesium comprises the steps:
(1) be to make block after 1: 1~1: 6 MgO powder and carbon (C) powder fully mix with mol ratio;
(2) prepared block is being lower than 1bar but makes its evaporation with electric arc heated in more than or equal to the inert atmosphere of 0.5bar, MgO is at first generated Mg by the C reduction, and magnesium vapor breaks away from heating region then, and nucleation and condensation form the Mg nanostructured;
(3) nano-structure of magnesium is carried out Passivation Treatment.
After above-mentioned steps (1) normally weighed up micron-sized MgO powder and carbon dust according to a certain percentage, the method by mechanical ball milling mixed.The mol ratio of MgO and C preferably in 1: 1~1: 4 scope, more preferably 1: 3.Described carbon dust comprises the carbon of all different shapes and structure, and for example graphite, diamond, activated carbon, CNT, fullerene, carbon fiber etc. may be used to the present invention.
Above-mentioned steps (2) normally is placed on the block of MgO and C in the reaction chamber (as the reaction chamber of plasma arc furnace) of sealing, vacuumizes the back and feeds inert gas, the preferred 0.8~0.9bar of air pressure.Described inert gas comprises all inert gases in the periodic table of chemical element: helium, neon, argon gas, krypton gas, xenon, radon gas.In order to accelerate the evaporation rate of magnesium, after playing arc discharge, can extract a part of inert gas out, feed a certain amount of active gases such as hydrogen or nitrogen again, also can directly add active gases, condition is that total gas pressure maintains and is lower than 1bar but in the scope more than or equal to 0.5bar, the percent by volume that active gases accounts for whole system is for greater than 0 smaller or equal to 90%, and preferred version is the percent by volume of the shared whole system 40-50% of active gases.
The purpose of above-mentioned steps (3) Passivation Treatment is to avoid nano-structure of magnesium to take out the back vigorous oxidation takes place, common way be with reaction chamber vacuumize the back with speed more slowly to wherein filling air, more than maintenance a few hours.
By selecting different types of C (C of different shape and structure) can control structure and the pattern of the Mg that is obtained, for example when C is graphite powder, can prepare dendritic Mg nanostructured; When C was active carbon powder, what prepare was the Mg nano particle.
The present Mg complicated process of preparation of scale size below 30 nanometers, the condition harshness, and sample is impure.The magnesium physical dimension size of the present invention preparation is nanoscale (referring to its diameter for wire or structure such as dendritic), its Size Distribution scope is at 10~30nm, and majority is about 20nm, so specific area is big, defective is many, has more reaction site with H-H reaction.During in addition with H-H reaction, the diffusion length of hydrogen in the magnesium structure reduces greatly, inhales hydrogen desorption kinetics character thereby improved it greatly.The inventive method has that equipment is simple, and aggregate velocity is fast, and cost is low, and the product purity advantages of higher is than being easier to realize industrialized mass production.In addition, by selecting the structure that can control Mg and the pattern of different types of C, thereby obtain the suction hydrogen desorption kinetics character that novel structure further improves Mg.Mg nanostructured of the present invention has very good suction hydrogen desorption kinetics character when being used for hydrogen storage material, very likely become the hydrogen storage material of a new generation, therefore has extremely important using value and application prospects in the hydrogen storage technology field.
