Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of humidity sensor technology. Background Technology

[0002] In recent years, compounds composed of transition metals (such as oxides, hydroxides, phosphides, and sulfides) have attracted widespread attention in various fields due to their excellent physicochemical properties. Transition metal phosphides (TMPs) exhibit high electrical conductivity, high thermal stability, and high electron conduction efficiency. As an n-type semiconductor material, the MP bond combines metallic and covalent properties, which is beneficial for electron transfer between interfaces. Transition metal sulfides (TMSs) possess excellent redox properties and abundant active sites. Heterostructures constructed using TMPs and TMSs can optimize the electronic structure of the interface, facilitating electron transfer in composite materials and resulting in superior physicochemical properties. For example, existing techniques use phosphorus and sulfur sources in hydrothermal processes to synthesize randomly morphological Fe. x P y -Fe x S y Particles; such as Fe synthesized by chemical vapor precipitation using NaH2PO2•H2O as the phosphorus source in existing technologies. x P y -Fe x S y Microspheres; such as existing technologies that first perform phosphating to synthesize Fe. x P y Then, sulfidation is performed to synthesize Fe. x P y -Fe x S y Two-step vapor deposition method for composite materials.

[0003] However, the aforementioned existing technologies have some drawbacks in their synthesis methods, such as:

[0004] (1) When phosphorus and sulfur sources are introduced simultaneously in the hydrothermal method, the reactivity of phosphorus and sulfur sources in the hydrothermal environment is very different and does not match the phase formation rate of iron source, resulting in the formation of random morphology and uneven phase distribution of products, reducing specific surface area and active sites, affecting electron transport and performance stability. In addition, the commonly used phosphorus source in the hydrothermal method is NaH2PO2•H2O, and the sulfur source is Na2S. The phosphorus sulfidation efficiency is very low and side reactions are easy to occur in the reaction system.

[0005] (2) The chemical vapor precipitation method using NaH2PO2•H2O as the phosphorus source has safety hazards. At high temperatures, NaH2PO2•H2O decomposes and releases highly toxic PH3, which is harmful to human health and the environment. The cost of exhaust gas treatment is high and the risk of leakage is difficult to eliminate. Moreover, using NaH2PO2•H2O as the phosphorus source results in low phosphating efficiency, easily generates impurities that reduce product purity, and the resulting product has poor crystallinity, affecting the performance of the material.

[0006] (3) The two-step vapor deposition method of phosphating followed by sulfidation has the disadvantages of low efficiency, weak interfacial bonding and difficulty in controlling composition. The two-stage reaction requires independent control of parameters, the process is complicated, the intermediate products are easily oxidized or adsorbed with impurities, reducing the activity of subsequent reactions and easily generating by-products.

[0007] Therefore, based on the above reasons, the existing Fe x P y -Fe x S y Composite materials are only used in fields such as catalysis and batteries, and have not yet been applied in the field of humidity sensing. Summary of the Invention

[0008] This invention aims to address the problems of existing methods for preparing iron phosphide sulfide materials, such as the inability to obtain regular morphologies through the adjustment of reactants, the difficulty and complexity of the synthesis methods leading to low efficiency, the easy generation of by-products, and the environmental hazards of the raw materials. Therefore, it provides a one-step phosphide sulfide method for preparing iron-based phosphide sulfide array materials and its application.

[0009] A one-step phosphorus sulfide array material preparation method is carried out according to the following steps:

[0010] 1. Dissolve ferric chloride hexahydrate and anhydrous sodium sulfate in water to obtain a mixed solution. Immerse the support in the mixed solution for hydrothermal reaction, then cool naturally to room temperature, and finally wash and dry to obtain a support for in-situ growth of nanorod-shaped FeOOH precursor.

[0011] 2. The carrier for in-situ growth of the FeOOH nanorod precursor and sulfur powder are placed in one ceramic boat, and red phosphorus is placed in another ceramic boat. These are then placed sequentially in a tube furnace, with red phosphorus upstream and the carrier and sulfur powder downstream. Heating and holding under an inert atmosphere yields the FeOOH nanorod precursor. x P y -Fe x S y Array materials, namely iron-based phosphorus sulfide array materials.

[0012] An application of an iron-based phosphorus sulfide array material for the fabrication of a humidity sensor.

[0013] The beneficial effects of this invention are:

[0014] (1) The present invention first uses a hydrothermal method to synthesize FeOOH precursor, and then uses a one-step vapor deposition method to phosphate the precursor. The reaction process is simple, the product obtained is regular in morphology and uniformly distributed, and no by-products are generated.

[0015] (2) When the present invention uses vapor deposition for phosphorus sulfide treatment, the phosphorus source used is red phosphorus. It does not release highly toxic PH3 during high-temperature reaction, which is environmentally friendly. Furthermore, it does not require a large amount of raw materials to achieve the synthesis of phosphides, making it suitable for large-scale production.

[0016] (3) The one-step vapor deposition method of the present invention not only improves the efficiency of phosphorus sulfide, but also produces materials with excellent sensitivity to humidity, thus expanding the application of transition metal phosphorus sulfides in the field of humidity sensing.

[0017] (4) The material of the present invention uses an in-situ method to grow Fe on the substrate. x P y -Fe x S y Compared to powder materials synthesized by the same method, this array material has a more regular structure, stronger hydrophilicity, and superior moisture sensitivity.

[0074] The humidity sensitivity of the material was tested using an LCR digital bridge analyzer (TH2838A, Changzhou, China) at an AC voltage of 1V and a frequency range of 200Hz to 200kHz. The humidity bottle was sealed for at least 24 hours before testing. During testing, the humidity sensor was first placed in a wide-mouth bottle containing a saturated LiBr solution (6% RH). After the impedance value stabilized, the sensor was placed in a wide-mouth bottle containing a saturated Pb(NO3)2 salt solution (97% RH). The impedance value was recorded by the testing system after it stabilized again. After the test, the humidity sensor was returned to LiBr (6% RH). The sensitivity testing method at other relative humidities was the same. All tests were conducted at room temperature. The sensitivity calculation formula is S=R. 6% / R 97% Among them, R 6% R represents the stable impedance value of the humidity-sensitive element at a relative humidity of 6%. 97% This represents the stable impedance value of the humidity sensor at 97% relative humidity. The response time and recovery time correspond to the change in resistance from R when the humidity sensor is placed in the measured relative humidity. 6% Change to R 6% -90% (R 6% -R 97% The required time and humidity, and the resistance after removing the bottle, are determined by R. 97% Change to R 97% +90% (R) 6% -R 97% (Time required)
