Description

Method for preparing zirconium carbide whisker by adopting zirconium carbide seed crystal
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of preparation of new materials, and relates to a method for preparing zirconium carbide whiskers by adopting zirconium carbide seed crystals.
Background
The zirconium carbide (ZrC) ceramic is one of ultra-high temperature ceramic materials, and has the characteristics of high melting point (about 3540 ℃), high strength, high hardness, high modulus, good ablation resistance, good heat conduction and electrical conductivity and the like. The zirconium carbide ceramic has wide application prospect in the fields of thermal protection, thermal structure materials, super-hard ceramics, electrode materials, nuclear power materials and the like. The zirconium carbide whisker not only has excellent intrinsic performance of zirconium carbide ceramic, but also has ultrahigh strength close to the theoretical limit due to one-dimensional single crystal structure. The zirconium carbide whisker is an ideal composite material reinforcement, can be widely applied to ceramic matrix, metal matrix and resin matrix composite materials, and improves the mechanical property, the electric conductivity, the heat conductivity, the electromagnetic property and the like of the composite material. At present, the methods for preparing zirconium carbide whiskers mainly comprise a carbothermic method and a chemical vapor deposition method. Among the reported methods for preparing zirconium carbide whiskers, most methods introduce metal catalysts (Fe, Co, Ni (NO)3)2·6H2O、Ni(NO3)2Etc.) to realize one-dimensional growth of zirconium carbide, thereby preparing zirconium carbide whiskers having a one-dimensional single crystal structure.
Zirconium carbide whiskers are prepared by carbothermic reduction using zirconium oxide, carbon black, sodium fluoride as raw Materials and metal Ni particles as catalysts, as described in "Study on the synthesis and growth mechanisms of the reaction ZrC whiskers, Liang Xu, Chuanzhen Huang, Hanlian Liu, Bin Zou, Hongtao Zhu, Guolong Zhuao, Jun Wang. int. journal of Refractry Metals and Hard Materials,2014,42: 116-" cited. The crystal whisker prepared by the method has a single crystal structure, the top of the crystal whisker is provided with catalyst Ni particles, the length and diameter of the crystal whisker are small, the yield of the crystal whisker is low, and the size is difficult to control. The patent "a method for preparing zirconium carbide whisker by using chemical vapor deposition method (CN 111549378A)" discloses a method for preparing zirconium carbide whisker by using ZrCl4-CH4(C3H6)-H2Ar as reactant system and Ni (NO)3)2The zirconium carbide crystal whisker is prepared by a chemical vapor deposition method as a catalyst. The crystal whisker prepared by the method has high purity and good appearance, and a larger catalyst is also arranged at the top of the crystal whiskerNi particles. The documents "In-situ homology growth of ZrC nanowines on carbon cloth and the third effects on flexible properties of carbon/carbon composites, Ningning Yan, Xiaohong Shi, Kun Li, Qiangang Fu, Wei Xie, Honghui Zhang, Qiang Song. composites Part B,2018,154: 200-. The method adopts zirconium carbide precursor as zirconium source and carbon source, and adopts Ni (NO)3)2·6H2And O is used as a catalyst to prepare the zirconium carbide whisker. The crystal whisker prepared by the method has curled appearance and low yield, and the top of the crystal whisker still has catalyst Ni particles.
The above methods all realize the preparation of zirconium carbide whiskers by introducing a metal catalyst into a reactant system, but inevitably generate the key problem that the metal catalyst with low melting point is an impurity existing at the top of each whisker and has adverse effects on the service performance (such as mechanical property, electromagnetic property and the like) of the zirconium carbide whiskers. In order to ensure the service performance of the zirconium carbide whisker, the whisker product is usually required to be subjected to acid washing and other operations, the acid washing possibly causes certain damage to the zirconium carbide whisker to influence the quality, and the preparation steps of acid washing impurity removal are added, so that the process steps become more complicated and do not accord with the economic and efficient principle, and meanwhile, the acid washing solution can also cause adverse effects on the environment and does not accord with the environment-friendly principle. Therefore, the development of the method for preparing the zirconium carbide whisker by using the metal-free catalyst has important significance.
The patent "a method for preparing zirconium carbide whisker (CN 108560058B)" discloses a method for preparing zirconium carbide whisker by using mesophase pitch and zirconium tetrachloride as reactants and without a metal catalyst. The method is simple to operate and high in yield, but the zirconium tetrachloride is seriously volatilized at high temperature, and the reaction is difficult to control, so that the diameter of the whisker prepared by the method is not uniform, and the size of the whisker is uncontrollable.
In summary, no report is available on the preparation method of the zirconium carbide whisker, which can effectively control the size and the shape of the whisker, does not use a metal catalyst, and has simple process, low cost and high yield.
