Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the fields of precursor ceramic conversion for preparing ceramic powder and electromagnetic protection technology, specifically to a SiOCN nanosphere with excellent microwave absorption properties and its preparation method. Background Technology

[0002] Precursor ceramic conversion methods offer the advantage of on-demand design of ceramic powders at the atomic level, enabling functional applications and thus finding wide application across various fields. Electromagnetic waves, due to their advantages in long-distance, wireless, and high-speed transmission, have ushered in the 5G era. While this era brings convenience, electromagnetic pollution problems such as electromagnetic interference and radiation are becoming increasingly serious. Electromagnetic pollution not only affects the normal operation of electronic devices but also significantly threatens information security in the scientific community and harms human health. Therefore, developing a thin, lightweight, strong, and wide-bandgap high-efficiency absorbing material is an urgent problem to be solved.

[0003] SiOC precursor ceramics can be viewed as products of oxygen atoms being replaced by carbon atoms in the SiO2 network, leading to increased bond density and improved mechanical properties and thermal stability. Simultaneously, the presence of free carbon in the SiOC matrix helps reduce infrared radiation heat transfer, making it a promising high-temperature insulation material. However, due to the low content of SiC nanocrystals and free carbon in SiOC ceramics, their microwave absorption performance is not ideal. Therefore, improving the microwave absorption performance of SiOC ceramics while simultaneously maintaining their thermal insulation properties has become a hot research topic.

[0004] As is well known, in addition to the composition of materials affecting microwave absorption performance, the control of material structure and morphology is also an important parameter affecting microwave absorption performance. Porous nanospheres have abundant specific surface area and mesopores. Incident electromagnetic waves undergo multiple reflections within the mesopores, thus dissipating electromagnetic energy. Meanwhile, the unique free carbon network layer facilitates the transport of free electrons, forming a conductive network within the ceramic matrix surface to enhance conductivity loss. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to address the problem of unsatisfactory microwave absorption performance of SiOC ceramics by proposing a method for preparing porous carbon-rich SiOCN nanospheres, thereby achieving excellent microwave absorption performance in the obtained material.

[0006] This invention is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0007] This invention provides a method for preparing porous carbon-rich SiOCN nanospheres with excellent microwave absorption properties, the method comprising the following steps:

[0008] S1. Provide SiOC ceramic precursor and add it dropwise to the hydrolysate, stirring to obtain SiOC ceramic precursor mixture;

[0009] S2. Add an acid catalyst dropwise to the SiOC ceramic precursor mixture and stir to promote the hydrolysis of the SiOC ceramic precursor;

[0010] S3. After hydrolysis, continue to add alkaline catalyst to the system, stir, and condense to form a mixed solution of SiOC nanospheres;

[0011] S4. Add a carbon phase precursor to the SiOC nanosphere particle mixed solution, stir, centrifuge, and dry to obtain a porous carbon-rich nanosphere precursor.

[0012] S5. Under a nitrogen atmosphere, the porous carbon-rich nanosphere precursor is pyrolyzed to obtain porous carbon-rich SiOCN nanospheres.

[0013] The weight ratio of the SiOC ceramic precursor, acid catalyst, base catalyst and carbon phase precursor is (5-15):(0.5-2.0):(1-10):(2-6).

[0014] Furthermore, a method for preparing porous carbon-rich SiOCN nanospheres with excellent microwave absorption properties: Step S1, providing a SiOC ceramic precursor and adding it dropwise to a hydrolysate, stirring for 10-15 minutes to obtain a SiOC ceramic precursor mixture; wherein: the hydrolysate is composed of deionized water and anhydrous ethanol in a weight ratio of (10-20):(80-120); the weight ratio of the SiOC ceramic precursor to the hydrolysate is (5-15):(90-140).

[0015] Furthermore, a method for preparing porous carbon-rich SiOCN nanospheres with excellent microwave absorption properties is provided: the SiOC ceramic precursor is selected from at least one of tetraethyl orthosilicate, methyltrimethoxysilane, dimethyldimethoxysilane, and phenyltriethoxysilane.

[0016] Furthermore, a method for preparing porous carbon-rich SiOCN nanospheres with excellent microwave absorption properties: Step S2, add an acid catalyst dropwise to the SiOC ceramic precursor mixture and stir for 2 to 8 hours to promote the hydrolysis of the SiOC ceramic precursor; the acid catalyst is selected from nitric acid, hydrochloric acid, and acetic acid.

[0017] Furthermore, a method for preparing porous carbon-rich SiOCN nanospheres with excellent microwave absorption properties is as follows: Step S3, after hydrolysis, an alkaline catalyst is added to the system and stirred for 12-24 hours to condense and form a mixed solution of SiOC nanosphere particles; the alkaline catalyst is selected from KOH, NaOH, and ammonia water.

[0018] Furthermore, a method for preparing porous carbon-rich SiOCN nanospheres with excellent microwave absorption properties: Step S4, add a carbon phase precursor to the SiOC nanosphere particle mixed solution, stir for 12-24 hours, centrifuge at a speed of 3000-10000 rpm for 2-5 minutes, and dry to obtain a porous carbon-rich nanosphere precursor; wherein: the carbon phase precursor is resorcinol and formaldehyde; by weight, the weight ratio between the SiOC ceramic precursor, resorcinol and formaldehyde is (5-15):(1-3):(1-3).

[0019] Furthermore, a method for preparing porous carbon-rich SiOCN nanospheres with excellent microwave absorption properties: Step S5, under a nitrogen atmosphere, the temperature is increased from room temperature to 1200-1500℃ at a rate of 1-5℃ / min and maintained for 2-4 hours to perform high-temperature pyrolysis on the porous carbon-rich nanosphere precursor, thereby obtaining porous carbon-rich SiOCN nanospheres.

[0020] The present invention also provides a porous carbon-rich SiOCN nanosphere with excellent microwave absorption performance, which is prepared by the above-described preparation method.

[0021] To address the issue of unsatisfactory microwave absorption performance of standalone SiOC ceramics, this invention proposes a solution: SiOC ceramic precursors are used to form spherical SiOC structures under alkaline conditions. Resorcinol and formaldehyde are then introduced as carbon-phase precursors, leading to in-situ polymerization on the surface of the SiOC nanospheres to form a free carbon network structure. The composition and structure of the porous carbon-rich SiOCN nanospheres are controlled by adjusting the proportion of SiOC ceramic precursors, process parameters, and the amount of carbon-phase precursors added. The large specific surface area of ​​the porous SiOCN nanospheres increases the reflection and scattering of incident electromagnetic waves, thereby improving the absorption capacity. Furthermore, the free carbon network layer constructs an excellent conductive network to enhance electrical conductivity. After pyrolysis, the in-situ generated SiC, Si3N4, and free carbon form abundant heterogeneous interfaces with the SiOC ceramic matrix, causing interfacial polarization and enhancing electromagnetic wave dissipation. The synergistic effect of multiple loss mechanisms results in excellent microwave absorption performance of the obtained material.

[0022] The porous carbon-rich SiOCN nanospheres obtained in this invention exhibit a maximum reflection coefficient of -60.74 dB at a material thickness of 1.62 mm and a maximum effective absorption bandwidth of 5.14 GHz at a material thickness of 2.51 mm. Furthermore, by adjusting the material thickness, the effective absorption bandwidth can cover the entire C, X, and Ku frequency bands. The porous carbon-rich SiOCN nanospheres prepared in this invention demonstrate superior reflection coefficient and effective bandwidth compared to most current SiOC-based absorbing materials.

[0023] The beneficial effects of this invention are:

[0024] (1) The method of this invention combines the advantages of porous nanosphere structure and free carbon network conductive layer to prepare porous carbon-rich SiOCN nanospheres as microwave absorbing materials. During the preparation process, it is necessary to precisely control the SiOC ceramic precursor ratio, process parameters, and carbon phase precursor introduction amount. The SiOC ceramic precursor ratio and process parameters affect the attenuation ability of SiOC ceramic to electromagnetic waves, while the carbon phase precursor introduction amount seriously affects the impedance matching and attenuation coefficient of SiOC ceramic. Improper impedance matching control will be detrimental to the improvement of microwave absorption performance. Therefore, to obtain porous carbon-rich SiOCN nanospheres with excellent microwave absorption performance, it is necessary to precisely control the SiOC ceramic precursor ratio, process parameters, and carbon phase precursor introduction amount.

[0025] (2) The preparation method of the present invention is a method for preparing porous carbon-rich SiOCN nanospheres by precursor conversion. This method has the advantages of high preparation yield, short cycle, controllable composition and structure, and the raw materials used are widely available and inexpensive.

[0026] (3) The method of the present invention controls the proportion of SiOC ceramic precursors through chemical composition design to prepare porous carbon-rich SiOCN nanospheres. The large specific surface area of ​​the porous nanospheres increases the reflection and scattering of incident electromagnetic waves to improve the absorption of electromagnetic waves. The free carbon network layer constructs an excellent conductive network to enhance the conductivity loss. The SiC or Si3N4 produced by pyrolysis forms a rich heterogeneous interface with the free carbon and SiOC ceramic matrix, causing interface polarization to enhance the electromagnetic wave dissipation capability. The synergistic effect of multiple loss mechanisms realizes the absorption performance of C, X and Ku bands, so that the obtained material has excellent wave absorption performance.

[0027] (4) The porous carbon-rich SiOCN nanospheres prepared in this invention exhibit the strongest reflectance coefficient of -60.74 dB at a thickness of 1.62 mm; and the widest effective absorption bandwidth reaches 5.14 GHz at a thickness of 2.51 mm. Furthermore, by adjusting the material thickness, the effective absorption bandwidth can cover the entire C, X, and Ku frequency bands. The absorption intensity and bandwidth of these porous carbon-rich SiOCN nanospheres are superior to most current SiOC ceramic matrix composites, and they are expected to have good application prospects in the field of high-temperature electromagnetic protection.
