A kind of mass production device and mass production method of chalcogenide compound
Technical field
The present invention relates to the preparation fields of chalcogenide, in particular to a kind of volume production of chalcogenide compound
Method and mass production device.
Background technology
Using the method for vacuum melting come to produce compound be not novel technology.For example, industrial quarters is commonly true
Empty induction melting (Vacuum Induction Melting) exactly utilizes the induction of alternating current to make metallic conductor in a vacuum
Vortex is generated to be heated to metal molten, and fully reaction occurs, is finally crystallized while cooling, and form relevant compound.
The non-volatility memory chip field of a new generation but with many novel technology applications, such as just in exploitation, just needs
Use many chalcogenide compounds, such as GeSe2, GeAsSe, GeAsSeTe, As2Se3Deng.Especially film of new generation
Solar cell is to copper indium gallium selenide (CuInGaSe, CIGS), copper-zinc-tin-sulfur (Cu2ZnSnS4, CZTS) and In2Se3Etc. compounds
Demand it is big, have a vast market.
However, the mass production of these compounds and traditional metallic compound volume production have prodigious difference:(1) it is formed
The higher chalcogen of the element of these compounds, especially volatility can be formed very during heating in reaction cavity
High vapour pressure, the container of reaction allow for bearing very high pressure, therefore the requirement to reaction vessel and technological process
It can be very different with traditional vacuum melting;(2) drain evaporation due to chalcogen in heating reaction process uses
Traditional equipment and technique so that the ratio serious unbalance of the atomic ratio relative ideal in the compound of formation;(3) sulfur family member
Element itself has the function of corrosion to many materials, for example, Se, S etc. and many metal materials can react/corrode, therefore
When selecting the inner-wall material of container or cavity, just limited by many;(4) it participates in the element of reaction and is formed by
It is all insulator or semiconductor that compound is most of, therefore should not be heated using radio frequency induction.
Although the equipment of commercialization volume production compound is substantially vacuum induction melting furnace type on the market at present, can
For producing various metallic compounds, but be not suitable for the chalcogenide compound of production sulfur family.So currently used for producing sulphur
The device of the chalcogenide compound of race is still largely small-scale laboratory home-built equipment, does not form scale metaplasia
The ability of production, it is following method to be usually taken:In the quartz test tube of high-purity, according to the weight ratio of chemical composition
Various elements to be reacted are put into, including the chalcogen of high volatile.The vacuum that the quartz test tube is pumped into, by test tube
Import with acetylene burning things which may cause a fire disaster melt close.This closed quartz ampoule is placed into temperature control heating stove.Temperature-rise period and heating
Temperature need to be determined by the fusing point and reaction property of the compound.These elements are heated to molten condition and are fully reacted.
Since these reactions are all usually exothermic reactions, can in vitro be formed along with the steam for having high volatile gas.Deng fully
After reaction uniformly, the temperature of reacting furnace is gradually decreased to room temperature.Then quartz ampoule is broken, the compound of taking-up is exactly required
The chalcogenide compound wanted.This laboratory prepare on a small scale chalcogenide have the shortcomings that it is as follows:
Excessively high vapour pressure is formed in order to prevent, and the chalcogenide compound amount that can be produced is very small.Depending on stone
The compression strength of English tubular container, in the case where usual quartzy tube thickness is 3~5mm, the chemical combination object amount that maximum can produce is not
More than 500 grams, the vapour pressure size that is primarily limited in entire reaction process.When the amount reacted higher than this numerical value when
It waits, fierce reaction is along with the chalcogen steam released, and quartz container often even explode by rupture.
Contain the elements such as selenium (Se), sulphur (S) or tellurium (Te), the vapour pressure of these elements inside usual chalcogenide
The amount for increasing or processing with the temperature in container increases, and the growth of exponential form is presented in vapour pressure, can be according to Arrhenius
Equation calculation obtains.If the vapour pressure of these elements is revealed because of the breakage of reaction vessel, it is easy to and in ambient atmosphere
Moisture react, be formed with severe toxicity H2Se, H2Te or H2S etc. causes serious safety accident and serious to environment
It threatens.
Also, high volatile chalcogen will appear drain evaporation in reaction process is melted in heating, to make last shape
At compound atomic ratio can not be well controlled, the technical indicator of material is just unable to reach requirement.
In addition, quartz ampoule reaction vessel is merely able to disposable, cause to waste, cost also correspondingly improves.
Therefore, continuous increased market demand and the circumstances of production equipment technological lag are faced, is badly in need of now a kind of
Suitable for the preparation method for producing chalcogenide in batches and corresponding preparation facilities.

Deng then according to the corresponding soaking time of the temperature setting of aforementioned list, rate of heat addition etc..Concrete operations, will be in following implementations
Illustrate in example.
In order to make reaction carry out more fully and uniform, when carrying out main reaction period and reflux time section,
The device of the invention is placed on the platform that frequency is 1Hz~2Hz and is shaken, reaction uniformity is improved.
Using above-mentioned mass production device, the mass production method of chalcogenide of the invention includes the following steps:
Step 1:It is on the waiting list raw material
Non- chalcogen simple substance and sulfur family are weighed according to the atomic ratio of each element in the molecular formula for preparing chalcogenide
Element simple substance is as reaction raw materials.

At least one of, above-mentioned chalcogen is one or both of S, Se and Te.
Preferably, non-chalcogen includes the 1-3 kinds in Ge, In, Ga, Cu, Zn, Sn, As, Cd and Bi.
Step 2:Main reaction
Reaction raw materials are placed in quartz container 110 and are reacted under vacuum.
Within the main reaction period, first part 111 is heated by the first heating component 140, until reaction is former
Material is in molten condition, then carries out isothermal holding.Specifically, it is (2~10) × 10 that vacuum condition, which is, for example, pressure,-4Pa's is true
It is empty.Within the main reaction period, when being heated to the first part 111 of quartz container 110, the liter of the first heating component 140
Warm rate is 5 DEG C/min~12 DEG C/min.Soaking time needed for isothermal holding is 0.5h~3h.
Within the main reaction period, the first part 111 of quartz container 110 is added by the first heating component 140
Heat, reaction raw materials are fused into molten condition, and in this process, reaction is more violent, and supervenes a large amount of heat.To
A part 111 is also required to control second part into trip temperature while heating, but the difference is that, in main reaction
Between in section, second part 112 is not heated, room temperature is maintained.In addition, the temperature of control vacuum valve module 120 room temperature extremely
In the range of 50 DEG C, such as to cooling-water duct 125 it is passed through cooling water, and the resistance heater 126 in first flange 121
No power makes first flange 121 be in relatively low temperature, and general control is in the range of room temperature is to 50 DEG C.In this way, just obtaining
It is in low-temperature space to obtain interior in high-temperature region and second part 112 in first part 111.Since chalcogen belongs to low melting point, Gao Hui
Hair property element, it is easy to form steam, therefore, into quartz container 110 second part 112 chalcogen steam just compared with
It is solidified on the inner wall of the second part 112 of low temperature and the inner wall of first flange 121 and deposits.Since steam is by gaseous state
It is condensed into solid-state, air pressure reduces, and the internal pressure that entire cavity is born also is decreased, avoided " booster " with this so that holds
Key reaction in device carries out within the scope of the container pressure of safety.
Step 3:Back flow reaction
When the main reaction period, fundamental reaction was complete, reflux time section is initially entered.In actual mechanical process,
For main reaction, whether the reaction was complete to be determined according to the reaction time of prepared chalcogenide, it is considered that is warming up to
After undergoing heat preservation 0.5h~3h after required main reaction temperature, main reaction fundamental reaction is complete, can proceed by back flow reaction.
When carrying out back flow reaction, the main reaction of first part still persistently carries out, and only reacts more slowly.It is worth noting that
Signified back flow reaction of the invention is not limited only to chemically react, and the phase transition process of same substance is also signified reaction of the invention.
In reflux time section, second part 112 is heated by the second heating component 150, while passing through electricity
Resistance silk heater 126 heats first flange 121, makes to be deposited on 121 inner wall of 112 inner wall of second part and first flange
On the deposit based on chalcogen simple substance melt and be back to the first part 111 of quartz container 110, continue to participate in anti-
It answers, with the atomic ratio of chalcogenide needed for maintenance.
It should be noted that when carrying out reflux time section, the temperature of first part 111 needs to reduce, but after reduction
Temperature be not less than chalcogenide melting temperature so that the reaction product in first part 111 is still in molten condition.
When carrying out back flow reaction, the temperature of first part 111 is reduced, it is intended that the deposit after fusing is enable all to return
The first part 111 for flowing to quartz container 110 continues to participate in reaction.Because if first part 111 keeps previous reaction temperature
Degree, temperature is excessively high, and molten state deposit can be gasificated into steam again during downward reflux, cannot be introduced into first
Divide and participates in main reaction.Meanwhile the temperature after the reduction of first part 111 is not less than the melting temperature of chalcogenide, purpose again
It is, the main reaction in first part 111 is kept to continue, so that reaction is carried out more abundant.
The second part 112 of quartz container 110 is heated by the second heating component 150, and is existed by setting
Resistance heater 126 in vacuum valve 123 heats vacuum valve 123 so that second part 112 inner wall with
And the chalcogen simple substance of the inner wall deposition of vacuum valve 123 is melted and is flowed back into the reaction zone of main body and continues to participate in reaction,
In this way, the atomic ratio of required chalcogenide is just maintained and is controlled, to obtain high-purity and in strict accordance with mesh
Mark the chalcogenide of atomic ratio.The present invention by the second heating component 150 to the second part 112 of quartz container 110 into
Heating of the resistance heater 126 to vacuum valve 123 in row heating and vacuum valve 123, can make to be deposited on second
Divide the deposit of 123 inner wall of 112 inner walls and vacuum valve, includes mainly sulphur simple substance (S), selenium simple substance (Se) or tellurium simple substance (Te)
Fusing, and it is back to the first part 111 of quartz container 110 and non-chalcogen continues to react, to generate with mesh
Mark atomicity than chalcogenide, and then prepare high-purity chalcogenide, meet technical indicator when application.
Step 4:Cooling step
Cooling treatment is carried out to quartz container 110, until reaction product is cooled to solid, obtains chalcogenide.It is above-mentioned
Cooling treatment is that quartz container 110 is naturally cooled to room temperature.In preferably implementation of the invention, above-mentioned cooling treatment is to utilize
Nitrogen carries out convection current cooling to 110 outer wall of quartz container, to shorten cooling time, improve production efficiency.
Step 5:Aeration step
It may also include aeration step after cooling treatment, so that the inside of quartz container 110 keeps flat with external atmosphere pressure
Weighing apparatus.Preferably, to being passed through nitrogen in quartz container 110.Specially:When all components in quartz container 110 all reach room temperature
When, vacuum valve 123 is opened, nitrogen is slowly led in quartz container 110, until and external pressure balance.Then, the is opened
One flange 121, the compound taken out are exactly high-purity, in strict accordance with the chalcogenide compound of atomic ratio.
With reference to specific embodiment, the mass production method of the mass production device 100 using chalcogenide compound is made into one
Walk explanation.The vacuum valve 123 used due to the preferred embodiment cited by the present invention for VAT valves, in following implementations
VAT valves 123 are vacuum valve 123 in example.
Embodiment 1:CuSe2The preparation of compound
It is 4 kilograms, purity by gross weight>The copper (Cu) and selenium (Se) small spherical particles of=4N is according to atomic ratio Cu:Se=1:
2, or corresponding weight ratio Cu:Se=1:0.4 ratio, that is, copper 1.14Kg, selenium 2.86Kg are put into the quartz container 110
It is interior, first flange 121, second flange 122 and nickel alloy washer 124 are used into screw locking.Start vacuum pump to take out very system
It is empty.When vacuum degree reaches 5x10-4When Pa, VAT valves are shut.Quartz container 110, first flange 121 and VAT valves are constituted
One closed vacuum reaction space.In the present embodiment, the thickness of quartz container 110 is 4mm, the ratio of internal diameter and length
It is 1:3, and the area ratio of the inner surface of the second part 112 and first part 111 of quartz container 110 is 2:1.
Within the main reaction period:It controls the first heating component 140 to heat up with 12 DEG C/min, to quartz container 110
First part 111 heated.In this process, the second heating component 150 is not necessarily to any heating, and first flange
121 and VAT valves should control under the action of cooling water at 50 DEG C or less.At this point, quartz container 110 from top to bottom there is
One temperature gradient from high-temperature region to low-temperature space.Since quartz container 110 of the invention is slender type pipe, and quartzy material
Material is not good heat conductor, and therefore, the first part 111 of quartz container 110 and second part 112 can have larger temperature
Spend gradient, even if first part 111 is in very high state of temperature during the reaction, second part 112 can also keep compared with
Low temperature.
Within the main reaction period, when the first heating component 140 rises to 220 DEG C or so, Se elements melt completely,
Part Se elements generate steam and rise to the second part 112 of quartz container 110.Se atoms after melting can be with solid Cu
Reaction takes place in atom.Since the reaction is typical exothermic reaction, the practical temperature of Cu and Se in quartz container 110
Degree could possibly be higher than the set temperature of control zone, it can make the atomic reaction of this Cu and Se be further exacerbated by.Continue to add first
The temperature of hot component 140 is improved to 950 DEG C.Main reaction region in this when container has been completely in molten condition.It will be anti-
It answers container in 950 DEG C of temperatures 75 minutes or so, and reaction platform is shaken with the frequency of 1Hz.In the main reaction time
In section, Se atoms and Cu atoms sufficiently and uniformly react.
After the main reaction period completes, technique enters reflux time section.By the temperature of the first heating component 140
It is lowered to 530 DEG C or so.But it is required not to be in the compound atomic ratio of the first part 111 of quartz container 110 at this time
Cu:Se=1:2, but the melt of copper-rich.Because thering are many Se atoms to form steam raising during heating to quartz to hold
It is condensed into solid-state at the inner wall of the second part 112 of device 110 and the inner wall of VAT valves.Start the second heating component 150 at this time,
