Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of microchemical technology, specifically relating to an intelligent and precise microreaction system and method for preparing target perovskite nanocrystals. Background Technology

[0002] Perovskite nanocrystals have significant application value in solar cells, LED devices, and photocatalysis due to their unique photoelectric properties. Currently, a series of batch synthesis methods have been developed for perovskite nanocrystal synthesis, such as hot injection, anion exchange, and ligand-assisted reprecipitation (LARP). Hot injection is typically performed under high temperature and inert conditions, which increases experimental difficulty and energy costs. Anion exchange is often used to prepare mixed halide perovskite nanocrystals, requiring the preparation of starting monohalide nanocrystals, which increases experimental complexity. In contrast, LARP involves direct mixing of the precursor and antisolvent at room temperature, making it a more efficient, energy-saving, and potentially large-scale production method. Subtle differences in batch synthesis can significantly affect the size and shape of the product, thus altering the optical properties of the nanocrystals. Furthermore, experimental parameters such as supersaturation and pH ratio greatly influence the nucleation and growth process of nanocrystals; fully utilizing these important experimental parameters can further enable the controllable preparation of nanocrystals (Progress in Materials Science, 2022, 123:100821). However, conventional batch synthesis methods are inefficient, require significant time, raw materials, and manpower for trial and error, and have limitations in optimizing product performance and exploring the synergistic effects of synthesis parameters.

[0003] Microreaction technology can precisely control synthetic reagents and enhance the heat and mass transfer efficiency of the reaction process. It can also be combined with in-situ characterization tools and intelligent algorithm-guided reaction parameter prediction and optimization to achieve rapid screening of reaction parameters and establish accurate models of process parameters and product performance. Over the years, it has shown great potential in the synthesis of various materials as an efficient and reliable technology. At present, most methods for achieving target perovskite nanocrystals based on microreaction technology are based on two-phase flow, which is not conducive to the large-scale production of products. At the same time, high temperature conditions are required in the preparation of precursor liquid or reaction process, which increases experimental energy consumption (Small, 2022, 18(19): 2200740). The combination of the microreaction system and the adopted automatic control and algorithm is too complex, which has high requirements for software, hardware and experimental personnel. It is very difficult to carry out material discovery research in conventional laboratories (Advanced Materials, 2020, 32(30): 2001626). In addition, the algorithm used requires multiple samplings to achieve accurate positioning of the target product, which requires a certain amount of time and raw material costs. Such reaction platforms are not conducive to achieving large-scale production.

[0004] Patent CN201811163412.1 discloses an automated device and method for preparing perovskite quantum dot powder. By combining a reaction module, a temperature control module, and a filtration module, it can achieve precise control of process parameters and continuous production. Although each module described in this patent involves automatic control, the actual degree of automation is low. Optimizing product performance still requires significant human intervention, time, and reagent costs. Patent CN201711024415.2 discloses a method for rapid synthesis of full-spectrum perovskite quantum dots via organic-inorganic assisted ion exchange. This method uses CsPbBr3 mother liquor and inorganic salt solution for anion exchange reaction in a microreactor to obtain multicolored perovskite quantum dots. This method requires the prior preparation of CsPbBr3 product before subsequent experiments. Therefore, the quality of the mother liquor determines the quality of the subsequent product, introducing considerable uncertainty and increasing experimental complexity. Furthermore, the process of obtaining multicolored quantum dots requires repeated trial and error, significantly increasing experimental time and raw material costs, and it does not achieve nanoscale, highly precise wavelength positioning.

[0005] In recent years, meta-learning algorithms, as an important part of deep learning, have been proven to solve regression tasks and obtain accurate relational models based on a few datasets. Unlike conventional machine learning algorithms, meta-learning algorithms can autonomously learn important parts of neural networks, such as network parameter update methods, highly generalizable initialization of network parameters, and neural network architecture (Proceedings of the 34th International Conference on Machine Learning, 2017, 70: 1126-1135). Meta-learning algorithms mainly learn network components by acquiring prior knowledge from multiple pre-training tasks independent of real-world data, and then propose a generalizable model that can quickly obtain relational models in real-world tasks with very little training data. For example, in the task of fitting a sine function, a model-independent meta-learning algorithm only needs to sample five data points within a quarter of the target sine function's period to infer the overall shape of the target sine function in the remaining range.

[0006] Therefore, establishing a low-consumption, energy-saving, fast, and accurate micro-reaction system and method for achieving high-quality target perovskite nanocrystals based on microreactor systems and meta-learning algorithms can further accelerate the development of target perovskite nanocrystals. Summary of the Invention

[0008] The present invention provides an intelligent and precise microreactor system for preparing target perovskite nanocrystals. The system includes an automatically controlled feed pump, an automatically controlled multi-channel switching valve, a micromixer, a microreactor, a monitoring device, and a capillary.

[0009] The automatic control feed pump includes a first automatic control feed pump, a second automatic control feed pump, a third automatic control feed pump, and a fourth automatic control feed pump. A Y-type connector is provided between the first automatic control feed pump, the second automatic control feed pump, and the automatic control multi-channel switching valve. The outlet of the first automatic control feed pump is connected to the first inlet of the Y-type connector via a capillary tube. The outlet of the second automatic control feed pump is connected to the second inlet of the Y-type connector via a capillary tube. The outlet of the Y-type connector and the third automatic control feed pump are respectively connected to the inlets of the automatic control multi-channel switching valve via capillary tubes. The outlet of the automatic control multi-channel switching valve is connected to a micro-mixer via a capillary tube.

[0010] The monitoring device includes an optical detection device and a computer; the optical detection device detects the optical properties of the products discharged from the microreactor and transmits the data to the computer for processing. Then, the computer sends instructions to the automatic control feed pump and the automatic control multi-channel switching valve based on the data processing results to control the reaction process.

[0011] On the other hand, the present invention provides an intelligent and precise method for preparing target perovskite nanocrystals based on the aforementioned microreaction system, comprising the following steps:

After the computer reads the fluorescence emission wavelength position data, it obtains the flow rates of the first, second, and fourth automatic control feed pumps according to the relationship model between the operating parameters of the microreaction system and the wavelength position, and performs target CsPb(Br) processing. x / I1-x Preparation of 3 nanocrystals; wherein, the Br-containing precursor liquid and the I-containing precursor liquid are mixed in a micro mixer, and then contacted with the antisolvent at the T-joint and enter the microreactor for reaction. The product after reaction is obtained by optical detection device to obtain wavelength position data.

[0014] 3) If the wavelength position data obtained from the experiment does not match the target CsPb(Br) x / I 1-x The fluorescence emission wavelength position data of 3 nanometer crystals is within ±4 nm. The computer uses a hysteresis algorithm to adjust the flow rate ratio of the first and second automatic control feed pumps until the wavelength position data of the reaction product meets the target CsPb(Br) emission wavelength. x / I 1-x The fluorescence emission wavelength position data of 3 nanometer crystals is within the range of ±4 nm.

[0015] 4) When the target CsPb(Br) x / I 1-x After the 3-nano crystals are prepared, the multi-channel switching valve is automatically controlled by computer commands to open the channels of the third and fourth automatic feed pumps, so that the solvent and antisolvent are introduced into the micro-reaction system to flush the fluid channels of the micro-mixer, microreactor and optical detection device.

[0016] The hysteresis algorithm is as follows: If the experimentally obtained wavelength position data is greater than the target wavelength position data + 4nm, then the flow rate of the new bromine-containing precursor solution feed pump is equal to the current flow rate plus the minimum adjustment flow rate, and the flow rate of the new iodine-containing precursor solution feed pump is equal to the current iodine precursor solution feed pump flow rate minus the minimum adjustment flow rate. If the experimentally obtained wavelength position data is less than the target wavelength position data - 4nm, then the flow rate of the new bromine-containing precursor solution feed pump is equal to the current flow rate plus the minimum adjustment flow rate, and the flow rate of the new iodine-containing precursor solution feed pump is equal to the current iodine precursor solution feed pump flow rate minus the minimum adjustment flow rate. If the experimentally obtained wavelength position data is greater than the target wavelength position data - 4nm and less than the target wavelength position data + 4nm, then the flow rate of the new bromine-containing precursor solution feed pump is equal to the current flow rate minus the minimum adjustment flow rate, and the flow rate of the new iodine-containing precursor solution feed pump is equal to the current iodine precursor solution feed pump flow rate plus the minimum adjustment flow rate.

[0044] The capillary materials mentioned above are polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) and soluble polytetrafluoroethylene (PFA).

[0045] The aforementioned micromixer includes a helical tube and its 3D support structure. The helical height of the helical tube is controlled at 2-5 mm, the helical diameter at 7-16 mm, and the helical length at 100-150 cm.

[0049] A method for intelligent and precise preparation of target perovskite nanocrystals includes the following steps:

[0050] 1) The first automatic control feed pump introduces a Br-containing precursor solution, the second automatic control feed pump introduces an I-containing precursor solution, wherein the Br-containing precursor solution is a precursor solution containing CsBr and PbBr2, and the I-containing precursor solution is a precursor solution containing CsI and PbI2; the third automatic control feed pump introduces a solvent, and the fourth automatic control feed pump introduces an anti-solvent.

[0051] 2) Prepare the desired target CsPb(Br) x / I 1-x The fluorescence emission wavelength position data of 3 nanometer crystals is used as input and fed into the relationship model between the operating parameters of the microreaction system and the wavelength position obtained after training by the meta-learning algorithm. After the computer reads the fluorescence emission wavelength position data, it obtains the flow rates of the first, second, and fourth automatic control feed pumps according to the relationship model between the operating parameters of the microreaction system and the wavelength position, and performs target CsPb(Br) processing. x / I 1-x Preparation of 3 nanocrystals; wherein, the Br-containing precursor liquid and the I-containing precursor liquid are mixed in a micro mixer, and then contacted with the antisolvent at the T-joint and enter the microreactor for reaction. The product after reaction is obtained by optical detection device to obtain wavelength position data.

[0052] 3) If the wavelength position data obtained from the experiment does not match the target CsPb(Br) x / I 1-x The fluorescence emission wavelength position data of 3 nanometer crystals is within ±4 nm. The computer uses a hysteresis algorithm to adjust the flow rate ratio of the first and second automatic control feed pumps until the wavelength position data of the reaction product meets the target CsPb(Br) emission wavelength. x / I 1-x The fluorescence emission wavelength position data of 3 nanometer crystals is within the range of ±4 nm.

[0053] 4) Target CsPb(Br) x / I 1-x After the 3-nano crystals are prepared, the multi-channel switching valve is automatically controlled by computer commands to open the channels of the third and fourth automatic feed pumps, so that the solvent and antisolvent are introduced into the micro-reaction system to flush the fluid channels of the micro-mixer, microreactor and optical detection device.

[0054] In step 2), the training process of the micro-reaction system operating parameters and wavelength position relationship model obtained after training by the meta-learning algorithm includes the following steps:

[0055] a) The initialized meta-learning algorithm neural network model f θ Pre-training is performed on a meta-learning algorithm neural network model that is a single-input, single-output multilayer perceptron with two hidden layers (40 nodes). The support and query sets for pre-training are sampled using a sine function, in the following form:

[0056] y (j) =asin(x) (j) +b) (1)

[0057] The amplitude *a* varies within the range [0.1, 7.0], and the phase *b* varies within the range [0, 2π]. Input *x* (j) and output y (j) The dimension is one. For pre-training, the training task set contains 160,000 sinusoidal tasks T. For each sinusoidal task T... i 14 pairs (x) are uniformly sampled from [-7,7]. (j) ,y (j) The support set is composed of the mean squared error. The mean squared error is used as the loss function and takes the following form:

[0058]

[0059] Based on the i-th sine task T i The support is concentrated in 14 pairs (x (j) ,y (j) The mean squared error loss is calculated using a one-step gradient descent method to convert the initialized neural network model parameters θ into θmin. i (The original model parameters θ are not updated here; only the new model parameters θ are calculated.) i Here, stochastic gradient descent with a learning rate of α = 0.01 is used as the optimization algorithm. The computation graph is preserved in this step. The parameters are calculated according to the following form:

[0060]

[0061] in, loss function The gradient.

[0062] In addition, 14 new pairs of data were extracted to form the sine task T. i The query set. The new mean squared error loss is based on θ. i The model was calculated using 14 new data points. The Adam optimization algorithm was used to update the model's original parameters θ, with a learning rate β of 0.001. The update followed this form:

[0063]

[0064] Based on the updated model parameters θ, the pre-trained model is obtained;

[0065] b) In this embodiment, the target CsPb(Br) is selected. x / I 1-x The operating parameters of three microreaction systems with x values ​​of 1, 0.67, and 0.5 in 3 nm crystals and the conditions under which CsPb(Br) was prepared were described. x / I 1-x The peak wavelength data (520nm, 567nm, and 600nm) of 3nm crystals were used as input and output to form the support set for the experimental task. Relevant parameters were obtained through pre-experiments. Stochastic gradient descent with a learning rate of 0.005 was used to fine-tune the pre-trained model obtained from the meta-learning algorithm, ultimately yielding a model showing the relationship between the operating parameters of the microreaction system and the wavelength positions. Eight wavelength positions (535nm, 546nm, 557nm, 578nm, 591nm, 609nm, 619nm, and 630nm) were selected as the query set for the experimental task to evaluate the model's accuracy. Five of these wavelength positions were within the support set range, and three were outside the support set range.

[0066] When evaluating the model, the target wavelength location data was set ±4nm as the upper and lower limits for the convergence of the evaluation experiment. When the experimentally obtained wavelength was outside this range, the hysteresis algorithm started adjusting the flow rate of the precursor liquid feed pump based on the minimum adjustment flow rate (0.01mL / min). If the experimentally obtained wavelength position data is greater than the target wavelength position data +4nm, then the flow rate of the new bromine-containing precursor solution feed pump is equal to the current flow rate plus the minimum adjustment flow rate, and the flow rate of the new iodine-containing precursor solution feed pump is equal to the current iodine precursor solution feed pump flow rate minus the minimum adjustment flow rate. If the experimentally obtained wavelength position data is less than the target wavelength position data -4nm, then the flow rate of the new bromine-containing precursor solution feed pump is equal to the current flow rate plus the minimum adjustment flow rate, and the flow rate of the new iodine-containing precursor solution feed pump is equal to the current iodine precursor solution feed pump flow rate minus the minimum adjustment flow rate. If the experimentally obtained wavelength position data is greater than the target wavelength position data -4nm and less than the target wavelength position data +4nm, then the flow rate of the new bromine-containing precursor solution feed pump is equal to the current flow rate minus the minimum adjustment flow rate, and the flow rate of the new iodine-containing precursor solution feed pump is equal to the current iodine precursor solution feed pump flow rate plus the minimum adjustment flow rate.

[0067] Figure 2 This is a flowchart illustrating the automated control and wavelength positioning components of this invention. The automated component includes fluid line cleaning, precursor mixing, reaction, and data acquisition. Wavelength positioning is achieved based on automated control, meta-learning, and feedback control. When the target wavelength and fine-tuning flow rate are input, the meta-learning model provides the optimal combination of operating parameters. Online spectroscopy is used to confirm whether the experimental results meet expectations (i.e., within ±4nm of the target wavelength). If not, the system adjusts the experiment according to the set fine-tuning flow rate value and starts a new experiment until the experimental results meet expectations.

[0068] In the above steps, both the Br-containing precursor solution and the I-containing precursor solution contain oleic acid and oleylamine. The concentrations of Cs and Pb in the precursor solution are both 0.02M; the concentration of oleic acid is 0.1-0.2M, and the concentration of oleylamine is 0.02-0.05M; the solvents used include dimethyl sulfoxide and N,N-dimethylformamide, and the antisolvents used include chloroform and toluene.

[0069] In steps 2), a1), and a2) above, the total flow rate of the first and second automatic control feed pumps is 0.8-1.6 mL / min, and the flow rate ratio is controlled between 0.1 and 5. The flow rate of the fourth automatic control feed pump is 10-12 mL / min, and the ratio of the flow rate of the fourth automatic control feed pump to the total flow rate of the first and second automatic control feed pumps is controlled between 7 and 16.

[0070] The above meta-learning algorithm is a model-independent meta-learning algorithm.

[0071] In step 4) above, a suitable flow rate ratio is set between the third and fourth automatic control feed pumps, with the flow rate ratio controlled between 3 and 7. The purpose of introducing the antisolvent by the fourth automatic control feed pump is to clean and displace, and to avoid dead zones and residual solids at the T-junction.

[0072] In steps 1) and 2), the antisolvent is a poor solvent, which causes the crystals to crystallize due to the reduced solubility, thus obtaining the desired product.

[0073] This invention, based on a spiral reactor, combines automatic control with a micro-reaction platform to achieve rapid screening of reaction parameters such as the ratio of antisolvent to precursor solution, acid-base ratio, and residence time, thereby enabling the optimized synthesis of high-quality CsPbBr3 nanocrystals. Furthermore, building upon automatic control, this invention combines meta-learning algorithms with hysteresis algorithms, achieving targeted emission of CsPb(Br3) within the emission wavelength range of 510–635 nm by sampling three data points. x / I 1-x Synthesis of 3 nanocrystals.

[0074] Since the successful implementation of this invention depends on the rational design of reaction system components such as micromixers and microreactors (e.g., dimensions) and the appropriate selection of operating parameters (e.g., flow rate), preliminary experiments using the system of this invention are necessary before implementing the method of this invention to determine suitable design parameters for the reaction system components and suitable ranges for the selection of operating parameters. Examples 1-5 below are examples of preliminary experiments. The data obtained from the preliminary experiments can also be used to train the model of the relationship between the operating parameters of the microreactor system and the wavelength position of this invention.

[0075] Example 1: The Influence of Micromixer (120 cm long) and Microreactor (430 cm long, 14 mm spiral diameter) Designs on the Synthesis of CsPbBr3 Nanocrystals

[0076] For the synthesis of CsPbBr3 nanocrystals, a support structure with a helical height of 3 mm and a helical diameter of 10 mm was fabricated using a 3D printer. A 120 cm long PTFE capillary was wound around this support structure to form a micromixer. A U-shaped support structure with a helical height of 3 mm and a helical diameter of 14 mm was also fabricated using a 3D printer. A 430 cm long PFA capillary was wound around this support structure to form a microreactor. A quartz tube with an inner diameter of 2 mm, an outer diameter of 4 mm, and a length of 10 cm was selected as the detection tube. The spectrometer integration intensity was set to 10 ms, and the laser current was set to 5 mA.

[0077] The ratios of oleic acid and oleylamine in the 0.02M precursor solution of the first and second automatically controlled feed pumps were set to 4 and 32, respectively.
