Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of concrete grammar of the synthetic rear-earth-doped oxidation zirconium powder of class ball shaped nano body take tetragonal phase structure as principal crystalline phase, belong to Material Field.
Technical background
Zirconium white and composite oxides thereof have a wide range of applications, as: toughening ceramic, pH sensor, anode of solid oxide fuel cell, catalysis flue gas, NOx, the catalyzer of the burning such as chlorination VOC and the aspects such as sorbent material in the purification techniques.But pure zirconia in the temperature-fall period from high temperature to normal temperature because of cube-the caused huge stress of mutual conversion and volume change between four directions-monoclinic phase limited zirconic application.And the doping of some two valencys and trivalent metal ion can make zirconium white at room temperature also can have metastable four directions or Emission in Cubic, and produces the transformation toughening effect, has improved their application performance.
Zirconic crystalline phase affects structure, quality and the application performance of product consumingly.Except synthesis condition, some external conditions are also influential to zirconic crystalline phase.For example the zirconium white of Tetragonal can be directly be to be formed by the monoclinic phase zirconium white under the 37kbars at pressure under 25 ℃, this conversion is reversible, and at room temperature can not remain metastable Tetragonal.When zirconium surface exists water, SO
4 2-Deng the time zirconium white is occured from Tetragonal to the monoclinic phase phase transformation, because the Y of water and specimen surface
3+React and form Y (OH)
3Crystal is at Y
2O
3The place that content is low becomes the vantage point of monoclinic phase forming core, and phase transformation is inwardly developed from the surface, also may be that water and zirconium surface form the Zr-OH key, or Y-OH causes stress concentration and undergoes phase transition.Therefore, further study phase structure and the influence factor thereof of zirconium white and composite oxides thereof, can develop the correlation technique for the product structure controlledly synthesis.
In addition, the size of particles of synthetic product and pattern also have important impact to its application performance.Find also that in our previous work sodium-chlor has significant impact for the particle characteristic of synthesizing nano-particle.Accordingly, developed the novel method of the synthetic class nano spherical particle of salt combustion-supporting burnt together established law, and be applied some nano-metal-oxides are synthetic.
Summary of the invention
The present invention proposes a kind of salt and help sol-gel method to come the rear-earth-doped oxidation zircon ceramic of synthesis of nano powder, both utilized sodium-chlor for the improvement effect of synthetic product particle characteristic and phase structure, eliminate again sodium-chlor to the impact of crystal phase structure.
Principle of the present invention is according to the XRD of synthetic sample and SEM characterization result, has grasped the introducing of sodium-chlor to the rule that affects of product phase composition and particle characteristic.The adding of proof sodium-chlor can improve synthetic product dispersion of particles and sphericity, but the increase along with the sodium-chlor add-on, monoclinic phase content increases and the minimizing of Tetragonal content in the product, the adding that sodium-chlor is described can significantly reduce rare earth element to the stabilising effect of Tetragonal, promotes Tetragonal to the transformation of monoclinic phase.Accordingly, determined that synthetic principal crystalline phase is method and the condition of the nanometer spherical yttrium cerium doped zirconia of Tetragonal.
Processing step of the present invention is:
⑴ contain first the aqueous solution of zirconium nitrate, Yttrium trinitrate, cerous nitrate and sodium-chlor by the stoichiometric ratio preparation, wherein the ratio of the amount of substance between zirconium nitrate, Yttrium trinitrate, the cerous nitrate is 3:1:96; And the feeding quantity of sodium-chlor is the 0.5-8% of zirconium nitrate, Yttrium trinitrate, cerous nitrate gross weight;
⑵ the ratio 0.8-8.6 that press ethylene glycol and the amount of metal ion species again adds ethylene glycol solution, and with mixing solutions reflux 1h-12h, forms colloidal sol, the polycomplexation zoarium that metal ion and glycol reaction is formed have crosslinking structure;
⑶ with dry 6-50 hour of colloidal sol, obtain the solid xerogel 100-120 ℃ of temperature range;
⑷ water and ethanol flush away are placed in the muffle furnace in 400-800 ℃ of lower calcining 1-6 hour respectively with the sodium-chlor in the solid xerogel.
The invention has the beneficial effects as follows: according to the method described above, can obtain the spherical yttrium cerium of the class doped zirconia particle about 60 nanometers, principal crystalline phase is Tetragonal.And raw materials used inexpensive, low toxicity, wide material sources.
