Description

A kind of thermoelectric material powder suspension and preparation method thereof for 3D printing
Technical field
The thermoelectric material powder suspension and preparation method thereof that the present invention relates to a kind of for 3D printing, belongs to thermoelectric material Preparation technical field.
Background technique
Thermoelectric material is that one kind can be directly realized by the functional material directly converted between electric energy and thermal energy, is imitated using Seebeck Thermal energy should be converted into electric energy, realize thermo-electric generation, paltie effect can also be used, electric energy is converted into thermal energy, Realize temperature-difference refrigerating.
The preparation of Conventional thermoelectric device is realized by way of subtracting material manufacture.Firstly, preparing institute by simple substance raw material Need material powder, after powder be put into mold obtain thermoelectric material block by means such as sintering, then by block cutting at institute Shape is needed, then block is connected with electrode material.The device fabrication process of this complex process not only results in raw material Waste, and the device with labyrinth and the microdevice with fine structure can not be prepared.
In recent years, extensive attention of the increases material manufacturing technology including ink-jet 3D printing by domestic and international researcher.Spray Black 3D printing be uniform drop is ejected by spray head, while spray head or substrate according to the route of design by dimensionally moving It is dynamic, so that drop, by line to face again to body, is accurately deposited on substrate by putting to line and quickly realizes beating for three-dimensional structure Print.This manufacturing technology with manufacturing process without waste of material, complicated shape or device with fine structure can be prepared, can make The advantages that carrying out the preparation of multiple functions structure member simultaneously using a variety of inks with multiple spray heads.For thermo-electric device, It can be achieved to print while two kinds of materials of N-type and p-type, the device with labyrinth can be manufactured, also manufacture micro thermoelectric device.

Ink in storage tank 3 can pass through the inkjet print head 24 in pipeline to forming cavity.Gas-circulating system 4 (Fig. 7) includes a seal cavity 31, is provided with an air inlet 36 at the top of cavity, side is provided with an air outlet 32, inside cavity It is provided with a drying layer 35, filter layer 34 and circulating fan 33 from top to bottom.
Its working method are as follows: the ink in storage tank 3 is transported in inkjet print head 24, and inkjet print head 24 sprays ink It shoots out and deposits to 25 surface of substrate, the first layer pattern is printed on substrate 25 by the relative motion of spray head 24 and substrate 25, The temperature control of substrate 25 solvent boiling point hereinafter, aqueous solvent is made quickly to volatilize, vapor and working gas Ar or N2Mixing It is removed by being adsorbed after gas-recycling plant 4 by drying layer 35.After ink dried, substrate 25 returns to origin.Using solvent gas Bulk concentration water finder 5 detects the concentration of vapor in mixed gas, molten using selective laser when its content is in 100ppm The powder layer material on technique substrate 25 melted is scanned and curing molding is simultaneously connected with substrate 25.Above procedure is repeated to obtain Obtain multilayer compact block material.In the above process, model of the range 42 of selective laser smelting process scanning in inkjet printing (Fig. 8) is enclosed within 41.
Using above-mentioned 3D printing device and method thereof, it is fast that SnTe powder suspension prepared by embodiment 4 is used for 3D printing Speed preparation p-type SnTe thermoelectric arm, includes the following steps:
1) SnTe powder suspension prepared by embodiment 4 is placed in the ink in storage tank as inkjet printing, storage tank In ink be transported in ink jet printing head under the effect of the pressure;Prepare the Al with a thickness of 1mm2O3Ceramic wafer is in printing base It is placed on plate and fixed;To molding cavity forvacuum 5 minutes of selective laser melting plant, chamber is then backfilled using Ar gas Body is to normal pressure, and holding cavity water oxygen content is in 100ppm hereinafter, basal plate preheating to 80 DEG C and keeps the temperature 10 minutes simultaneously;
2) the p-type thermoelectric material powder in storage tank is spread over into Al2O3Ceramic plate surface, then using laser according to setting The thermo-electric device thermoelectric arm size of meter and distribution are scanned, and are printed as p-type thermoelectric arm and N-shaped thermoelectric arm;Wherein, thermoelectricity is printed When arm, for powdering with a thickness of 50 microns, laser scan rate is selected as 50mm/s, and laser power is selected as 50W;Repeat the above thermoelectricity The print procedure of arm is until desired height.
Fig. 4 is p-type SnTe thermoelectric arm laser scanning surface texture after molding, it can be seen that the table after laser melting Face is very smooth.
The suspension of thermoelectric material can be made in above-described embodiment, due to solid content, the difference of dispersant, suspension Stability can be variant, but the ink printed thermo-electric device component as ink-jet 3D printing, the stability of example can expire Foot requires.For solid content, dispersing agent additional amount, the ingredient of powder, the content of solvent and the difference of type, this hair can also be realized Bright technical solution, embodiment numerous to list herein.
The above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention, it is noted that come for those of ordinary skill in the art It says, without departing from the concept of the premise of the invention, several modifications and variations can also be made, these belong to of the invention Protection scope.
