Problems solved by technology

In recent years, the development of metal nanoparticle manufacturing technology has been very rapid, and a variety of nanopowder preparation methods have been designed, including gas condensation method, arc method, chemical reduction, and wire electric explosion. There are low production efficiency, there are not many devices that can realize the mass production of metal nanoparticles, and there are disadvantages such as complex structure, inconvenient operation and use, etc.
Metal nanoparticles can be prepared by using a metal wire to form an electric explosion process through a large current, but due to the influence of the energy efficiency of the electric explosion deposition and the inhomogeneity that occurs during the wire explosion process, the current electric explosion process generally occurs when the metal wire is thinner (<0.5mm ), the length is shorter (<200mm), which seriously restricts the output and generation efficiency of nanoparticles, and increases the time and equipment cost of production input.

Embodiment 1

[0043] Nanoparticles of metal aluminum and copper have important application value in many fields due to their high specific surface area, high oxidation energy release rate, quantum size effect, high thermal conductivity, low resistance and efficient catalytic activity.

[0044] In the process of preparing nanoparticles by electric explosion of aluminum or copper wire, the inert gas argon is generally used as the protective gas, and the pressure is between 1.0 and 3.0 bar. An electric explosion occurs.

[0045] The capacity of the high-voltage pulse capacitor 11 is between 0.1-10.0 μF, the voltage is between 10-50 kV, and the electric explosion of a single aluminum wire is formed by the current pulse drive with a pulse of microsecond level by discharge. In order to increase the unit yield of nanoparticles, the device of the present invention can be used to improve the efficiency of electric explosion of metal wire, appropriately increase the capacitance, and adjust the curren...

Embodiment 2

[0048] During the preparation of metal aluminum and copper nanoparticles, the metal wire needs to be vaporized at a certain heating rate, which makes the explosion process of the metal wire often appear in the later stage of the rapid rise of the current, and then the energy stored in the pulse capacitor is very important for the formation of more nano particles. Particles are not contributing.

[0049] In order to improve the output of nanoparticles, the device of the present invention can be used to improve the electric explosion efficiency of the metal wire. After the first metal wire explodes, the energy in the pulse capacitor is transferred to the second metal wire, and the length of the second metal wire is adjusted so that The parameters of the electric explosion process are the same as those of the first metal wire. According to the length of the first metal wire, the length of the second metal wire can be 0.6-0.9 times the length of the first metal wire. This can ensu...
