Definitions
- the present invention relates to a high-temperature thermistor with a semiconductor ceramic made of a mixed crystal oxide of rare earth oxides, in particular a thermistor that can be used over the entire temperature range from room temperature to 1100 ° C.
- Thermistors for high temperatures have become increasingly important in recent years due to new areas of application in immissions protection. They are used, for example, as a temperature sensor for industrial exhaust gas temperature measurements or for temperature control and overtemperature protection for catalytic exhaust gas combustion in cars.
- the typical application temperatures in cars are between 600 ° C and 1100 ° C, only at these elevated temperatures does the catalytic exhaust gas combustion work optimally.
- Thermistors made of oxidic semiconductor ceramics offer the advantage over thermocouples in this temperature range that they have a much larger output signal, so that a simpler circuit technology is sufficient for signal processing.
- Thermistors are also called NTC resistors because their resistance has a negative temperature coefficient (NTC).
- thermistors are based on oxidic semiconductor ceramics, which are based on oxidic compounds of the transition metals of the spinel or perovskite type.
- Multi-phase systems are often used, in which the base material is modified by additional components.
- Today's NTC components consist almost exclusively of mixed crystals with a spinel structure, which are composed of 2 to 4 cations from the group Mn, Ni, Co, Fe, Cu and Ti.
- the nominal resistance R 25 and the B constant relevant for temperature sensitivity are set to variable values by appropriate reaction control during manufacture, so that the production of a certain range of thermistors is possible with a given offset.
- NTC thermistors The production spread of NTC thermistors is quite critical because the contamination content in the sintered material is difficult to control.
- the ceramic compounds and their crystal structures that form during manufacture can change over time, especially at high temperatures. At high temperatures, there can also be a slow reaction with the oxygen in the atmosphere, which causes a permanent change in the resistance value and the temperature characteristic.
- mixed crystal oxides of the spinel or perovskite type can only be used up to about 500 ° C. At higher temperatures, their long-term stability is too low and their specific resistance is too low for many areas of application.
- a thermistor is suitable as a temperature sensor for temperatures up to 1100 ° C. It is characterized by its particular stability at very high operating temperatures above 1000 ° C. It is therefore particularly suitable as a sensor in the hot area of catalytic exhaust gas cleaning or for temperature control for engine control.
- the mixed crystal oxide has a cubic crystal structure of the CM 2 O 3 type.
- Thermistors with a semiconductor ceramic made of such mixed crystal oxides are characterized by a special high temperature stability.
- the mixed crystal oxide contains, as further dopants, an element from the group of neodymium, europium, gadolinium, dysprosium, holmium, erbium, thulium, ytterbium and lutetium.
- a semiconductor ceramic which is characterized in that the mixed crystal oxide has a cubic crystal structure of the CM 2 O 3 type is particularly preferred.
- the semiconductor ceramic with a mixed crystal oxide of the rare earth metals according to the invention contains binary, ternary, quaternary, etc. generally multiple mixed crystal oxides, the essential component of which is terbium and at least one further rare earth metal oxide from the group yttrium, samarium, gadolinium.
- the mixed crystal oxide can also contain neodymium, europium, dyspprosium, holmium, erbium, thulium, ytterbium or lutetium as further dopants.
- the semiconductor ceramic Due to the terbium content in the structure, the semiconductor ceramic contains movable electrons, which make a significant contribution to the conductivity of the semiconductor ceramic.
- the composition of the mixed crystal oxide is preferably chosen so that a cubic CM 2 O 3 type crystal structure is obtained.
- the prerequisite for this is that the average ionic radius of the cations is based on that of RD Shannon, Acta Cryst. A32 (1976) 751 values are less than 1.06 angstroms.
- These semiconductor ceramics are monomorphic, ie they do not change their crystal structure at higher temperatures.
- the mixed crystal oxides according to the invention which crystallize in the CM 2 O 3 type have an outstandingly improved stability at very high temperatures, because in the mixed crystal oxides according to the invention with cations according to the definition given, the crystal structure does not change at higher temperatures.
- the semiconductor ceramics are manufactured according to the usual ceramic manufacturing methods.
- the binary oxides of the rare earth metals mentioned or, for example, their oxalates, carbonates, hydroxides or the like are used as starting compounds. used.
- the starting mixtures are weighed, then mixed dry or wet and ground. This is preferably followed by a calcination process at 1000 ° C. for better chemical homogenization and for better compaction.
- the shaping process for the green body follows by pressing, film drawing, screen printing or the like.
- the shaped green bodies go through a binder burnout and are then sintered at 1250 ° C to 1400 ° C.
- the sintering process is not very susceptible to faults and is not dependent on the gas atmosphere or the cooling curve.
- connection electrodes preferably made of platinum
- platinum paste can also be applied and baked using the screen printing process.
- Other methods are also possible, such as application using vacuum evaporation technology.
- the resistance and its temperature dependency were determined in the temperature range from 200 ° C to 1100 ° C.
- the thermal resistance of the thermistors was also measured at high temperatures.
- Mixed crystal oxides are produced which contain Y 2 O 3 and 3, 10 and 30 at% terbium.
- the starting compounds Y 2 O 3 and Tb 4 O 7 are mixed in the appropriate mixing ratio and ground with zircon grinding balls for 16 hours.
- This premixed powder is granulated with a conventional binder preparation. Tablets with a diameter of 6 mm and a thickness of 1 mm are pressed from the granules. These tablets are sintered in the air for six hours at 1350 ° C.
- X-ray diffraction pictures show that the semiconductor ceramic thus obtained from mixed crystal oxides is a single-phase material with a CM 2 O 3 structure.
- the average ionic radius of the mixed crystal oxides is 1.016 ⁇ , 1.018 ⁇ and 1.023 ⁇ , respectively.
- the relative density of the mixed crystal oxides is greater than 94% of the theoretical density.
- Quaternary mixed crystal oxides of yttrium oxide, samarium oxide and terbium oxide with the composition Y 0.5 Sm 0.9 Tb 0.6 O 3 and Y 0.5 Sm 0.5 Tb 1.0 O 3 are produced by the same method as in Example 1.
- X-ray diffraction images show that the material is single-phase and crystallizes in the CM 2 O 3 type.
- the average ionic radius of the mixed crystal oxides is 1.056 ⁇ and 1.046 ⁇ , respectively.
- the relative density is greater than 95% of the theoretical density.
- a ternary mixed crystal oxide with the composition Gd 1.4 Tb 0.6 O 3 is produced by the same method as in Example 1.
- X-ray diffraction images show that the material is single-phase and crystallizes in the CM 2 O 3 type.
- the average ion radius of the mixed crystal oxide is 1.054 ⁇ .
- the density is greater than 95% of the theoretical density.
- tablets made from the semiconductor ceramic according to the invention are coated with platinum paste on both sides for contacting.
- the specific resistance is measured while the temperature is varied.
- the reciprocal temperature is plotted against the logarithm of the specific conductivity ⁇ .
- You get according to the Arrhenius curve, the slope of which gives the coefficient of thermal resistance B according to the formula B (lnR 1 -lnR 2nd ) / (1 / T 1 - 1 / T 2nd ) calculated.
- Thermistors are required to have a linear relationship between temperature and electrical output.
- the semiconductor ceramic can be used as a thermistor.
- Yttrium-terbium mixed crystal oxides with a terbium content of more than 10 at% have particularly favorable properties. They can be used up to temperatures of 1100 ° C.
- Fig. 2 shows the Arrhenius curve for Y 0.5 Sm 0.9 Tb 0.6 O 3 (lower curve) and Y 0.5 Sm 0.5 Tb 1.0 O 3 (upper curve). Due to the lower resistance and the non-linearity of the Arrhenius curves above 600 ° C, mixed crystal oxides can be used as a sensor at temperatures from 20 ° C to 600 ° C.
- the temperature-resistance characteristic must be reliably reproducible even at high temperatures. Especially for applications in motor vehicle construction, the deviations in the temperature ⁇ T at 600 ° C to 1000 ° C should not exceed +/- 2%, i.e. 20 ° C at 1000 ° C.
- Two identical thermistors are selected for each of these measurements.
- One thermistor is heated to 1000 ° C for 100 h. Then the resistance-temperature characteristics of both thermistors are measured. If the resistance as a function of temperature is plotted for both thermistors, two parallel curves are obtained which are shifted by ⁇ t against each other. The result of the measurements is shown in Table 4.5. The results show that mixed crystal oxides based on yttrium oxide showed the best results. No aging effect was observed in 70% at% Y 2 O 3 with 30 at% terbium oxide. Tab.
