The application relates to the technical field of
material synthesis, and particularly discloses a method for synthesizing
cerium hydride at high temperature, which comprises the following steps: in a glove box,
cerium powder is loaded into a tablet press mold to be pressed into
cerium tablets, and then the cerium tablets are sealed and taken out; a
molybdenum disc with the same thickness as the cerium tablets is selected as a substrate, the cerium tablets are quickly placed on the
molybdenum disc, and a cavity cover is closed, and a reaction cavity of a
plasma microwave gas phase deposition device is pumped to vacuum; pure
hydrogen is introduced into the reaction cavity, and a
microwave source is started, microwaves generated by the
microwave source excite low-pressure
hydrogen in a
quartz window to form a uniform
plasma ball, and the
plasma ball is transported to the surface of the cerium tablets to react and synthesize cerium
hydride at a temperature of 900 DEG C-1100 DEG C. The reaction gas is excited by the activation mode of high-temperature plasma to reach an
excited state,
hydrogen is transported to the surface of the substrate or the substrate under the driving force provided by high temperature to react, the
reaction rate can be effectively improved, and cerium
hydride can be synthesized at high temperature.
