本申请的又一个实施例还提出一种通过树脂凝胶法制备的非金属多孔加热元件40的方法,参见图5所示,包括:
S10,获取能与甲醛进行聚合反应的有机单体;
术语“单体”是有机化学领域名词术语;单体(monomer)是能与同种或他种分子聚合的小分子的统称,是能起聚合反应或缩聚反应等合成高分子化合物的简单化合物,是合成聚合物所用的-低分子的原料。“有机单体”通常即为含碳的单体。
步骤S10中的这一类有机单体例如苯酚、间苯二酚、均苯三酚、尿素、三聚氰胺、甲苯、二甲苯、双氰胺、或者它们的同类型衍生物例如含有硅氧键的衍生物等中的一种或多种。这一类有机碳源能与甲醛进行聚合反应形成聚合树脂;例如苯酚/间苯二酚/均苯三酚能与甲醛缩聚形成酚醛树脂,又例如尿素能与甲醛缩聚形成脲醛树脂,又例如三聚氰胺能与甲醛缩聚形成蜜胺树脂等。
S20,将以上有机单体于液相反应体系中通过酸、碱或金属盐的催化作用下与甲醛发生聚合反应,并通过对反应体系进行相分离以分离得到多孔树脂凝胶产物;
S30,将步骤S20的多孔树脂凝胶干燥后,于真空或者惰性气氛中煅烧炭化,即可制备获得含有碳的多孔加热元件前体;
S40,将多孔加热元件前体按照所需的尺寸或形状进行切割、清洗、除杂、过滤、烘干,之后即获得加热元件40。
步骤S10中所构建的液相反应体系,是通过液相溶剂实现的;通常以水、 甲醇、乙醇等作为酚醛树脂的制备的反应溶剂构建液相反应体系。
或者在又一些实施例中,步骤S10中的有机单体是能与乙醛、丙醛等醛类化合物进行聚合反应的;进而与乙醛、丙醛等醛类化合物聚合生成酚醛树脂凝胶等。
其中,以上步骤S20中,“相分离”是物理化学术语,是指当体系温度、压强等,或组分的比例、兼容性等发生变化时,多组元的体系会分离成分别具有不同组分的几个相;例如,多组元的液相在温度下降时,能分成不相溶混的两个以上的不同组元的液相、或固相和液相等。
进一步,术语“聚合诱导相分离法(polymerization-induced phase separation)”是一种合成多孔材料的化学方法,即是指通过设计前驱液中各个成分的比例,当其中反应物发生聚合反应时,由于聚合度的上升,诱导其与反应体系中其他组成兼容度(混溶性)下降,从而发生相分离,最终以“凝胶”固化的形式将相分离的演化结构“冻结”,从而获得多孔材料的方法。
具体地,例如在步骤S20中,初始阶段包括溶剂、反应物和催化剂的体系基本是处于均相状态;而反应进行中随着树脂产物的生成量增加,树脂产物与反应体系之间的相容性逐渐变差;此时,反应体系在热力学上不再相容,相分离开始发生,由于体系追求最小的表面能,因此相结构会逐步粗大化。
以及在步骤S20的诱导相分离的过程中,可以向体系中添加甲醛以增加甲醛单体的浓度,使体系在诱导相分离过程中相态由分散孔向相反转结构转变时,体系遵循“旋节线降解机理(spinodal decomposition)”增大形成的树脂凝胶中的孔隙和孔径,得到多孔树脂凝胶。诱导相分离的有机单体与甲醛聚合的反应体系中,当甲醛的浓度较低时,形成的是球状颗粒堆积的多孔结构,或骨架较细的三维连通多孔结构;当甲醛的浓度较高时,形成的是孔径较大、骨架较粗的三维连通多孔结构。
以及步骤S20中反应过程中的酸性或金属盐的催化剂都能加快聚合过程中羟甲基化速度。酸性催化剂如盐酸、硝酸等;或者金属盐类催化剂例如氯化铁等。
步骤S30进一步将生成的树脂凝胶干燥后于真空或者惰性气氛中进行煅烧碳化,使凝胶分解形成基本是仅含碳或含碳氮的多孔加热元件前体。“碳化又称炭化、焦化等,是指固体或有机物在无氧化性气氛的条件下加热分解的反应 过程”。碳化的过程是在炭化炉设备中,于惰性气氛或真空条件下升温至500~2000℃下煅烧进行。在一些实施中,步骤S30的碳化过程中的煅烧温度应大于600度,为了保证其电阻率能满足雾化的需要;在又一些实施例中,碳化过程中的煅烧温度应大于或等于900度。
或者在一些具体的实施例中,通过间苯二酚与甲醛的树脂凝胶法制备的非金属多孔加热元件40的方法,包括:
S10,获取间苯二酚;
S20,将1摩尔的间苯二酚溶于200毫升pH为2的稀硝酸中,再加入25~30毫升的乙醇,然后加入2摩尔的甲醛。搅拌至混合均匀之后,放入40度的保温箱静置反应24小时,分离含有树脂产物的液层,并随后经过洗涤、干燥得到多孔树脂。
S30,将多孔树脂放入惰性气氛炉、或者真空炉进行碳化之后可以得到多孔碳的加热元件40。碳化温度条件为:以8度每分钟,升到1500度,保持2小时。
或者在一些具体的实施例中,通过苯酚与甲醛的树脂凝胶法制备的非金属多孔加热元件40的方法,包括:
S10,获取苯酚;
S20,将0.5摩尔的苯酚和0.5摩尔的尿素溶于100~400毫升pH为1~5的稀硝酸中,加入1~100毫升的乙醇,然后加入2摩尔的甲醛。搅拌至混合均匀之后,放入40度的保温箱静置24小时后,得到多孔树脂。
S30,该多孔树脂经过洗涤、干燥、在真空中碳化之后可以得到多孔碳。碳化温度条件为:1~10度每分钟,升到600~2000度,保持1~6小时进行碳化。
或者在一些具体的实施例中,通过间苯二酚与甲醛的树脂凝胶法制备的非金属多孔加热元件40的方法,包括:
S10,获取间苯二酚;
S20,将间苯二酚、甲醛和1M的盐酸溶液三者按照质量比6:6:8混合,再加入与盐酸体积比为1:1.5的乙醇,搅拌至全部溶解构建反应体系;转入冰浴条件诱导下继续进行反应,并在此加入与无水乙醇体积比为1:1质量分数为37%的甲醛溶液,搅拌反应30分钟;观察反应体系的分层现象,待分层基本稳定 后从反应体系将含有树脂溶胶的分离相分离并于模具中老化和成型得到多孔树脂凝胶;
S30,将多孔树脂凝胶置于50℃下干燥24h,再转移至100℃条件下进行进一步干燥6h;再将干燥后的干凝胶于800℃煅烧5h碳化,得到多孔加热元件前体。
在以上具体的实施中,总共的反应物添加量中,间苯二酚与甲醛的摩尔比为1.1~1.8。步骤S20中甲醛分两次投料,一次是在反应体系构建时与间苯二酚一起加入、另一次是在冰浴诱导时投料,分两次投料可减缓反应放热,并降低体系中游离酚的含量。
以及在又一些实施例中,还可以通过调节孔隙率调节电阻率的范围,以及在一个具体的实施例中,于1600℃下煅烧碳化得到的多孔加热元件40的电阻率0.3Ω·mm。将碳化温度提高到2000℃,煅烧碳化得到的多孔加热元件40的电阻率降低至0.1Ω·mm。例如在一些实施例中孔隙率10%的1600℃下煅烧碳化得到的多孔加热元件40的电阻率大约为0.15Ω·mm。
进一步地,以上的制备中通过调整反应体系中溶剂的量和甲醛的量,以调整生成的凝胶中的孔隙和孔径,从而制备获取加热元件40中所需的孔隙和孔径的大小。例如图6中示出了一个实施例中以相对少的甲醛的量制备的加热元件40的剖面在电子显微镜的3000倍放大倍数下的微观形貌图;从图6的剖面中,该实施例的加热元件40中的相连成三维网络的微孔孔径主要是2~4微米。以及,例如图7中示出了又一个实施例中以相对多的甲醛和溶剂的量制备的加热元件40的剖面在电子显微镜的不同倍数下的微观形貌图;从图7的剖面中,该实施例的加热元件40中的相连成三维网络的微孔孔径主要是4~8微米。在一些实施例中,用于缩聚的有机单体与甲醛等醛类化合物的摩尔比为1.1~5.0,对于保持三维网络的微孔孔径是有利的。
或者进一步地图8至图9示出了多个实施例中以不同倍数比例的乙醇溶剂构建反应体系所制备的获得的加热元件40的剖面在电子显微镜的不同倍数下的微观形貌图。不同的倍数比例的溶剂,使得凝胶具有不同的体积,从而使得制备的加热元件40的孔隙和孔径的大小是不同的。例如放大1000倍时,图8中采用较少乙醇溶剂制备的加热元件40的孔隙率和孔径,是大于图9中采用较多倍数乙醇溶剂制备的加热元件40的孔隙率和孔径的。
或者进一步地图10至图12分别示出了以0.2mmol、0.4mmol、0.8mmol的不同浓度氯化铁盐做催化剂,所制备得到的加热元件40的剖面在电子显微镜的不同倍数下的微观形貌图。从图10至图12中可以看出,相对低浓度的金属催化剂,对于产生大孔径是有利的。
在实施例中,多孔的加热元件40内的微孔基本是三维连通的;或者多孔的加热元件40内的微孔是共连续多孔结构(co-continuous structure)或者类旋节线结构(spinodal-like structure)。
以及在实施中,通过调节反应物的量或反应条件或催化剂浓度等使制备获得的多孔加热元件40的孔隙率保持在30~80%。
在一个具体的实施例中,将一个制备的多孔的加热元件40,通过国标GB/T 21650.1-2008压汞法测量一个实施例中制备的加热元件40内部的微孔孔隙的分布参见下表1:

根据以上制备的实施例的加热元件40的压汞法测得的加热元件40的孔隙率为60.9%。以及压汞法所测得的孔径分布中,多孔的加热元件40内的微孔中孔径1微米到10微米之间的微孔占比为91.66%;孔径1微米到10微米之间的微孔占比是大于90%的。以及,加热元件40内的微孔中孔径10微米到20微米之间的微孔占比为0.14%。以及,加热元件40内的微孔中孔径大于20微米的微孔占比为2.37%。以及,加热元件40内的微孔中孔径小于1微米以下的微孔占比为1.01%。
以及,进一步根据以上压汞法所测得的孔径分布中,90%以上的微孔的孔径介于1.6~2.5微米,集中度较高;表明整体加热元件40中的微孔的孔径是比较均匀的。
以及在实施中,多孔的加热元件40内的微孔的平均孔径分布在1微米到10微米;在又一些实施中,多孔的加热元件40内的微孔的平均孔径分布1~4微米是有利的。
或者在又一些变化的实施例中,通过调节制备的反应条件或溶剂的量,使得制备的多孔的加热元件40内孔径为4微米到7微米之间的微孔占比大于85%。
在实施中,多孔的加热元件40基本是多孔碳;以及,多孔的加热元件40的体电阻率在:0.1~1Ω·mm。进一步地,保持多孔的加热元件40的体电阻率在0.5~0.8Ω·mm是有利的。
在实施中,多孔的加热元件40的体积不大于8mm3;进一步地,保持多孔的加热元件40的体积不大于5mm3;对于提升热利用效率减少发散是有利的;以上多孔的加热元件40体积是指表观(宏观)体积。
在实施中,多孔的加热元件40的表观面积应不小于5mm2;进一步地,保持多孔的加热元件40的表观面积应不小于5mm2,对于传递液体基质或热量是有利的。
或者在步骤S30之后、步骤S40之前,将步骤S30制备获得的加热元件前体进行活化处理,使加热元件40的骨架的壁上进一步产生大量的活化的微孔;通过活化产生的微孔孔径通常小于2纳米。在一些实施例中,加热元件前体进行活性处理是于活性的气体例如水蒸气、二氧化碳等气氛下再次煅烧,通过活性气体与加热元件前体的孔隙表面的活性点反应从而活化;或者在又一些实施例中,加热元件前体进行活化处理是将加热元件40于氢氧化钾溶液、氯化锌溶液等中浸泡,使加热元件前体的孔隙表面的活性点反应从而活化。
以及在以上图中可以看出,通过树脂凝胶烧结的加热元件40的多孔骨架表面基本是光滑的,至少比造孔剂烧结形成的骨架表面光滑。
例如图15示出了以上加热元件40在二氧化碳气氛下再次煅烧(煅烧温度1000~1500℃)活化前后的,通过氮气吸脱附仪器测试的加热元件40的氮气吸脱附曲线的对比图。根据图15中的测试的吸脱附曲线对比中,活化前加热元件40的氮气吸脱附曲线为II型等温线,活化后加热元件40的氮气吸脱附曲线为I型等温线。活化之后的,由于加热元件40的骨架表面存在大量的活化孔(<2nm),在接近0的极低压力区就表现出较大的气体吸附量,进而使吸脱附曲线呈现为I型等温线;而未活化的加热元件40的吸脱附曲线呈现为II型等温线。
以上氮气吸脱附曲线是材料测试领域用于描述多孔材料对氮气物理吸附的 特性的表征曲线;在该表征中,多孔材料的氮气吸脱附曲线被细分为六种类型,分别为I型、II型、III型、IV型、V型、VI型。
在实施中,多孔的加热元件40仅含有碳、氮、硅等无机非金属元素,而不含有金属元素;多孔的加热元件40耐强酸强碱,无金属溶出污染液体基质。当聚合反应中采用金属盐作为催化剂时,加热元件40中仅含有极低量的来自于催化剂的金属离子残留,这些残留的金属成分可以通过浸泡在水,或酸性溶液中取出,因此是基本是可以忽略的;或者加热元件40基本不含有金属元素。
在实施中,多孔的加热元件40的莫氏硬度为2~3,对于减少掉粉是有利的。
以及在实施中,多孔的加热元件40具有的机械强度不小于20MPa。机械强度的测试方法参照国标GB/T 1041-2008实施。
