Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to a preparation method of graphite electrode, in particular to a preparation method of glassy carbon graphite electrode BACKGROUND

[0002] Polysilicon production uses reduction furnace, the electrode in the reduction furnace passes through the reduction furnace bottom plate, and the silicon core is fixed on the electrode through the graphite sleeve and the insulating ceramic ring sleeve. Then, the silicon core is heated by connecting the current through the electrode, so as to reach the temperature required for reduction and deposition.

[0003] During the polysilicon reduction furnace production process, the carbon elements on the surface of the high-purity graphite electrode will partially volatilize and precipitate in the polysilicon rod with the production of the silicon rod, increasing the carbon content of the polysilicon rod, which causes the product quality to fail to meet the demand of the domestic high-end market. SUMMARY

[0004] The purpose of the present application is to provide a preparation method of glassy carbon graphite electrode, which is used for polysilicon production using reduction furnace to produce polysilicon, reduces the volatilization of carbon elements of the graphite electrode, and thus reduces the carbon element content in the polysilicon rod. The present application is realized through the following technical solutions.

[0005] A preparation method of glassy carbon graphite electrode, characterized in that it comprises:

[0006] S1, preparing a graphite electrode; S2, preparing a glassy carbon graphite electrode:

[0007] The step S2 specifically comprises:

[0008] S21, coating phenolic resin on the surface of the graphite electrode prepared in step S1;

[0009] S22, obtaining the graphite electrode coated with glassy carbon precursor after curing the graphite electrode coated with phenolic resin obtained in step S21 at room temperature;

[0010] S23, carbonizing the graphite electrode coated with glassy carbon precursor obtained in step S22 at 1000 DEG C high temperature in an oxygen-free environment to obtain a glassy carbon graphite electrode primary product;

[0011] S24, obtaining a high-purity glassy carbon graphite electrode after heat treatment of the glassy carbon graphite electrode primary product obtained in step S23 at 2000-3000 DEG C high temperature.

[0012] The present application coats a glassy carbon layer on the surface of the graphite electrode. The glassy carbon has the properties of air impermeability, chemical inertness, high oxidation resistance, friction resistance, high temperature resistance, etc. It can form a protective layer on the surface of the graphite electrode, prevent the graphite in the graphite electrode from overflowing outward at high temperature, and reduce the carbon element content in the polysilicon rod.

[0013] In the process of coating the phenolic resin coating on the glass carbon, the phenolic resin coating is first cured at room temperature, and then slowly heated, so as to avoid the generation of pores in the green body.

[0014] Further, in order to form a dense layer on the outer side of the graphite electrode, after the graphite electrode is prepared in the step S1, an HfC layer is prepared on the surface of the graphite electrode, and the specific method is as follows:

[0015] S11, preparing a graphite electrode;

[0016] S12, uniformly mixing Hf, HfO2 and NH4Cl powders in a molar ratio of Hf:HfO2:NH4Cl=4:5:3, placing the mixed powders in a gas deposition furnace, suspending the graphite electrode above the powders, continuously introducing hydrogen into the gas deposition furnace, keeping the oxygen-free pressure in the furnace at 1.8kPa, and slowly heating the gas deposition furnace to 1500℃, so that the gas generated by the powders interacts with the graphite electrode and generates an HfC coating on the surface of the graphite electrode.

[0017] The technical scheme selects Hf, HfO2 and NH4Cl as raw materials to prepare an HfC gradient coating on the surface of the graphite electrode by gas infiltration.

[0018] Coating phenolic resin on the surface of the HfC coating can make the bonding force between the glass carbon covering the surface of the graphite electrode and the graphite electrode better.

[0019] Further, in order to make the glass carbon smooth and uniform on the surface of the graphite electrode, in the step S21, the thickness of the phenolic resin coating on the surface of the graphite electrode is 1-3mm.

[0020] In the step S24, the glass carbon graphite electrode primary product obtained in the step S23 is heat treated at a high temperature of 2000-3000℃ for 1-2h.

[0021] In the step S12 of preparing the HfC coating, the slow heating process of the gas deposition furnace is 400℃ for 40min, 800-1000℃ for 60min, and 1200-1500℃ for 4h. The temperature rising time is 40min from 400-800℃, and 40min from 1000-1200℃.

[0022] Due to the heating process of the HfC coating prepared from Hf, NH4Cl, different substances are generated at different temperature stages, especially at the normal temperature-400℃ stage, the reactant heating can generate H2, which can reduce the use amount of hydrogen in the reaction process. At this stage, the reactant heating generates HCl, HfC, H2, etc.; at the 800℃-1000℃ stage, HfC is decomposed into Hf and HfCl4; and at the 1200℃-1500℃ stage, HfC is directly generated. In the process, Hf and HfCl4 gas react to generate HfCl3 gas, which reacts with C on the surface layer of the graphite electrode under the action of hydrogen to generate HfC and HCl gas, and HfC directly penetrates into the surface layer of the graphite electrode.

[0023] Therefore, the present application adopts the slow heating in stages, which is beneficial to promote the generation of the direct reactant for preparing HfC.

[0024] On the other hand, the present application also provides a glass carbon graphite electrode, which comprises: a graphite electrode, an HfC coating located on the outer surface of the graphite electrode, and a glass carbon layer coated outside the HfC coating.

[0025] The thickness of the HfC coating is >150μm, and the thickness of the glass carbon layer is 0.5-2mm.

[0026] The present application has the following beneficial effects:

[0027] 1. The present application coats a glass carbon layer on the surface of the graphite electrode, and the glass carbon has the properties of gas impermeability, chemical inertness, high oxidation resistance, friction resistance, high temperature resistance, etc., which can form a protective layer on the surface of the graphite electrode to prevent the graphite in the graphite electrode from overflowing outward at high temperature, thereby reducing the carbon element content in the polysilicon rod. In the process of coating the phenolic resin coating on the glass carbon, the present application first cures the phenolic resin coating at normal temperature, and then slowly heats, so as to avoid the generation of pores in the green body.

[0028] 2. In order to further improve the bonding force between the glass carbon layer and the graphite electrode, Hf, HfO2, and NH4Cl are selected as raw materials to prepare an HfC gradient coating on the surface layer of the graphite electrode by the gas infiltration method. The phenolic resin is coated on the surface of the HfC coating, so that the bonding force between the glass carbon coated on the surface of the graphite electrode and the graphite electrode is better.

[0029] 3. Due to the heating process of the preparation of HfC coating layer from Hf, NH4Cl, the substances generated at different temperature stages are different, especially at room temperature-400℃ stage, the heating of reactants can generate H2, which can reduce the use amount of hydrogen in the reaction process. At this stage, the heating of reactants generates HCl, HfC, H2, etc. At 800℃-1000℃ stage, HfC decomposes into Hf and HfCl4, and at 1200℃-1500℃ stage, it is a direct step to generate HfC. In the process, Hf and HfCl4 gas react to generate HfCl3 gas, which reacts with C on the surface layer of the graphite electrode under the action of hydrogen to generate HfC and HCl gas, and HfC directly penetrates into the surface layer of the graphite electrode. The present application adopts slow heating in stages, which is conducive to promoting the generation of direct reactants for preparing HfC. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

In this stage, the reactants generate HCl, HfC, H2, etc., in the 800℃-1000℃ stage, HfC decomposes into Hf and HfCl4, and in the 1200℃-1500℃ stage, HfC is directly generated. In the process, Hf and HfCl4 gas reacts to generate HfCl3 gas, which reacts with C on the surface layer of the graphite electrode under the action of hydrogen to generate HfC and HCl gas, and HfC directly penetrates the surface layer of the graphite electrode. The present application adopts step-by-step slow heating, which is conducive to promoting the generation of direct reactants for preparing HfC.

[0140] The heating method of Comparative Examples 2-3 will cause insufficient production of part of the intermediate products, which will eventually result in a relatively thin HfC layer.

[0141] Finally, it should be noted that the above examples are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present application, and are not limited thereto; although the present application has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing examples, those skilled in the art should understand that they can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing examples, or make equivalent substitutions for part or all of the technical features; and these modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the present application.
