Description

Ceramic pellet with lithium orthosilicate-lithium titanate core-shell structure for tritium proliferation and preparation method thereof
Technical Field

Li (Li) 4 SiO 4 Tritium breeder is identified by chinese fusion engineering laboratory reactor (CFETR) as the first choice due to its high lithium atom density, low neutron activation characteristics and outstanding low temperature tritium release rate. However, li 4 SiO 4 Has strong water absorption tendency, and is easy to be combined with H 2 O reacts to form Li 2 SiO 3 And LiOH alike, making it difficult to maintain phase and structural stability in a wet environment, presenting challenges to the storage, transfer and loading of the material. Therefore, new ideas and new methods are introduced into Li 4 SiO 4 Improving the moisture stability and mechanical property of the lithium ion battery to obtain the lithium ion battery Li 4 SiO 4 Important problems to be solved in the application process of tritium breeder are urgent. At present, for Li at home and abroad 4 The modification research of SiO4 tritium breeder mainly includes the following three types: (1) by doping TiO 2 、SiO 2 And ZrO(s) 2 The oxides are used for enhancing the mechanical property, but the method has very limited improved crushing strength and still needs to be further improved and Li is doped 2 O can even promote abnormal growth of grains; (2) direct Li incorporation 2 TiO 3 And LiAlO 2 The tritium proliferation material is used as a second phase and forms a complex phase ceramic structure, so that the performance complementation of a plurality of tritium proliferation agents can be formed while the grain growth is inhibited and the mechanical property is enhanced; (3) research on novel tritium proliferation ceramic materials. Researchers based on Li 4 SiO 4 And Li (lithium) 2 TiO 3 Diffusion performance difference during sintering, 50% Li is sintered at high temperature 2 TiO 3 -50%Li 4 SiO 4 When the ceramic microsphere is proliferated by the complex phase tritium, the complex phase ceramic microsphere with core-shell structure is obtained (the shell is Li) 2 TiO 3 The core is 50% Li 2 TiO 3 -50%Li 4 SiO 4 ) The special complex phase checkThe shell structure may significantly improve crush strength. Meanwhile, compared with the traditional composite material, the core-shell structure has the congenital advantage, and the stable shell structure can protect the inner core from the influence of factors such as the humidity environment outside the shell. However, from the viewpoint of the overall lithium density, the amount of the second phase material added to the composite ceramic is too high (Li 2 TiO 3 Up to 50%) sacrifice of Li 4 SiO 4 And thus impair the tritium proliferation ratio. On the basis, if pure-phase Li can be prepared 4 SiO 4 Inner core and pure phase Li 2 TiO 3 The core-shell structured lithium ceramic pellet with the shell layer has important significance for the development of the tritium proliferation field. However, li 4 SiO 4 And Li (lithium) 2 TiO 3 The crystal structure, the grain size, the sintering activity, the sintering temperature and the like of the ceramic material have larger differences, so that the two substances are difficult to keep consistent shrinkage rate in the high-temperature sintering process, and a larger challenge is brought to the stable preparation of the ceramic material with the core-shell structure. At present, no Li exists at home and abroad 4 SiO 4 -Li 2 TiO 3 Tritium proliferation ceramic pellet with core-shell structure (core: pure phase Li) 4 SiO 4 And (3) a shell: pure phase Li 2 TiO 3 ) Report of successful preparation.
Based on the above, the invention proposes to control Li after rotary granulation molding by using a powder presintering process 4 SiO 4 Inner core and Li 2 TiO 3 The sintering shrinkage of the shell biscuit is matched with the shrinkage of the core/shell structure by combining with the adjustment of sintering process parameters, and the purposes of designing and preparing Li with compact core-shell combination and controllable shell thickness are to 4 SiO 4 -Li 2 TiO 3 Ceramic pellets of core-shell structure.
