Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of high-strength, high-conductivity, and heat-resistant aluminum wires, and in particular to a layered MXenes aluminum-based composite wire and a preparation method thereof. Background Art

[0002] Against the backdrop of the profound electrification of energy systems, the performance upgrade of conductors, the core carrier of power transmission, is urgently needed. Extensive research has been conducted in the existing art, such as in patent application publication number CN114999709A and patent announcement number CN118507144B. Traditional aluminum conductors have low strength, making them difficult to meet the safety requirements of long-distance power transmission. Furthermore, strength and conductivity exhibit a conflicting relationship: conventional strengthening methods such as alloying and grain refinement significantly reduce conductivity. Furthermore, conductors soften significantly at high temperatures, limiting improvements in their transmission capacity. These performance bottlenecks have severely hindered the further application of aluminum conductor materials in power grids.

[0003] Discovered in the early 21st century, two-dimensional graphene sheets have been extensively studied for their ultra-high strength and electrical conductivity, with applications achieving breakthroughs in the strength and heat resistance of aluminum-based composites. However, graphene's hydrophobicity causes it to aggregate severely within the aluminum matrix and reacts with the aluminum to form a brittle AlC phase, resulting in unsatisfactory composite performance.

[0004] MXenes, as a new type of two-dimensional material, possess metallic properties and exhibit superior wettability with aluminum substrates compared to graphene. However, existing MXenes introduce functional groups such as -F and -OH during the etching process, which weakens the interfacial bonding between MXenes and aluminum and negatively impacts the performance of metal-matrix composites. Summary of the Invention

[0005] In view of the above problems, the present invention provides a layered MXenes aluminum-based composite conductor and its preparation method. Through the electrochemical intercalation-heat treatment modification process, a nano-aluminum coating is constructed in situ on the MXenes surface, solving the technical problem of weak interface bonding between MXenes and the aluminum matrix. Using powder metallurgy and subsequent plastic deformation processes, pure aluminum fine powder (powder particle size ≤10μm) is used as the matrix powder and modified MXenes as the reinforcement phase, a composite material with a multi-scale layered heterogeneous structure is successfully prepared. The material exhibits the following characteristics: (1) the matrix grains are directionally elongated along the current transmission direction; (2) the grain boundaries along the length direction of the grains are synergistically reinforced by two-dimensional MXenes sheets and nano-Al2O3 nanoparticles; (3) the interior of the grains is relatively clean. This structure achieves a synergistic improvement in the strength, conductivity and heat resistance of the conductor: the room temperature tensile strength is ≥300MPa, while maintaining a high conductivity of ≥55% IACS (International Annealed Copper Standard). The room temperature tensile strength after heat exposure at 400°C still maintains more than 90% of the tensile strength without heat exposure.

[0006] The present invention provides a layered MXenes aluminum-based composite conductor, comprising long grains elongated along the conductive direction of the layered MXenes aluminum-based composite; the long grains include grain boundaries, two-dimensional MXenes lamellae and nano-Al2O3 nanoparticles.

[0007] Another aspect of the present invention provides a method for preparing a layered MXenes aluminum-based composite conductor, the specific steps of which are as follows:

[0009] Step 2: Coating a nano-aluminum layer on the surface of MXenes powder to obtain pretreated MXenes powder;

[0010] Step 3: Mixing pretreated aluminum powder and pretreated MXenes powder to obtain mixed powder;

[0011] Step 4: sintering the blank;

[0012] Step 5: Hot extrusion and cold drawing of the blank to obtain the wire.

[0013] Optionally, the specific steps of step 1 are as follows: heating and keeping the aluminum powder warm multiple times to complete the pre-oxidation of the powder; placing the pre-oxidized aluminum powder in an inert gas atmosphere, heating it, and then keeping it warm to obtain pretreated aluminum powder.

Through powder metallurgy and subsequent plastic deformation, a composite material with a multi-scale layered heterogeneous structure is prepared, in which the grains are elongated along the direction of current transmission and the grain boundaries along the grain length are synergistically reinforced by two-dimensional MXene phases and nano-Al2O3 nanoparticles.

[0022] (2) The composite conductors obtained by the present invention, which are synergistically reinforced with Al2O3 nanoparticles and MXenes and have a multi-scale layered heterogeneous structure, exhibit excellent overall performance, with a room temperature tensile strength of ≥300 MPa while maintaining a high electrical conductivity of ≥55% IACS (International Annealed Copper Standard). After heat exposure at 400°C, the room temperature tensile strength remains above 90% of the tensile strength before heat exposure, achieving the technical benefits of high strength, high conductivity, and high heat resistance.
