Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of electronic ceramics and devices, and particularly relates to a high-energy-density and high-efficiency energy storage ceramic with excellent breakdown field strength and anti-fatigue performance and a preparation method thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] The high-energy-density ceramic has a wide application prospect in the electronic industry and new-generation information industrial technology fields such as artificial intelligence, Internet of Things and 5G due to its fast charging and discharging speed, strong anti-cycle aging ability, stable performance under extreme conditions such as high temperature and high pressure and the like.

[0003] There are four kinds of energy storage technologies, i.e., mechanical energy storage, electromagnetic energy storage, capacitor energy storage and electrochemical energy storage. Among them, the ceramic capacitor energy storage has become one of the most widely used energy storage devices in high-power pulse power systems due to its high energy storage density, fast energy storage speed and miniaturization and the like.

[0004] In 2009, scholars Liu and Ren prepared a new BCZT material, i.e., barium calcium titanate Ba(Ti 0.8 ZrO 0.2 )O3-(Ba 0.7 Ca 0.3 )TiO3 (BCZT), which does not contain volatile elements and thus can maintain a predetermined stoichiometric ratio after high-temperature calcination. Due to its excellent performance and environmental friendliness, the BCZT material has attracted extensive attention since its appearance and is considered to be able to replace the traditional lead-based perovskite material.

[0005] (Ba 0.85 Ca 0.15 )(Zr 0.1 Ti 0.9 )O3(BCZT) has a high d 33 However, the research on the energy storage of BCZT is less, and since the BCZT is in a ferroelectric phase at room temperature, the dielectric loss is large, the dielectric constant decreases with the increase of the electric field, and thus the energy storage density is only 0.20-0.30 J / cm 3 , and the energy storage efficiency is lower than 75%. SUMMARY

[0006] The application aims to provide a BCZT-based energy storage ceramic material with high energy storage density, high breakdown field strength and good anti-fatigue performance and a preparation method thereof.

[0007] To achieve the above object, the BCZT-based energy storage ceramic material provided by the application has a general formula of (Ba 0.85Ca 0.15 )[(Zr 0.10 Ti 0.90 ) 1-x (Nb 0.5 La 0.5 ) x ]O3, wherein, x is the number of moles, x is in the range of 0.06-0.15, preferably x is in the range of 0.12. The ceramic material is in a paraelectric phase at room temperature.

[0008] The preparation method of the BCZT-based energy storage ceramic material of the present application comprises the following steps:

[0011] Step 3: the (Ba 0.85 Ca 0.15 )[(Zr 0.10 Ti 0.90 ) 1-x (Nb 0.5 La 0.5 ) x ]O3 pre-fired powder obtained in Step 2 is granulated, tabletted, and de-glued, and then sintered at 1400-1450℃ for 2-4 hours to prepare a BCZT-based energy storage ceramic material.

[0012] In the above step 2, the raw material mixture is preferably heated to 1200° C. at a heating rate of 3 to 5° C. / min and pre-calcined at the constant temperature for 2 hours.

[0013] In the above step 3, the tableting is first performed by using a powder tablet press to press the powder into a cylindrical green body at a pressure of 6 to 10 MPa, and then cold isostatically pressing the green body at a pressure of 210 to 230 MPa for 4 to 6 minutes.

[0014] In the above step 3, it is further preferred that the temperature be raised to 1440° C. at a rate of 3 to 5° C. / min and sintered at a constant temperature for 4 hours.

The temperature was increased to 120 ℃ at a rate of 5 ℃ / min, and the temperature was kept for 2 h. The furnace was cooled down to obtain a perovskite structure (Ba 0.85 Ca 0.15 )(Zr 0.10 Ti 0.90 ) 0.94 (Nb 0.5 La 0.5 ) 0.06 O3 presintered body.

[0029] Step 3: 5% polyvinyl alcohol aqueous solution was added to the presintered body obtained in step 2. The amount of polyvinyl alcohol aqueous solution added was 5% of the mass of the presintered powder, and the polyvinyl alcohol aqueous solution was added in three times at 5-8 drops / g each time, and each time was ground for about half an hour. The powder was ground for 2 h.

The furnace was cooled down to obtain a BCZT-based energy storage ceramic material with a chemical formula of

[0030] (Ba 0.85 Ca 0.15 )(Zr 0.10 Ti 0.90 ) 0.94 (Nb 0.5 La 0.5 ) 0.06 O3. Example 2

[0031] In this embodiment, a BCZT-based energy storage ceramic material with a chemical formula of

[0032] (Ba 0.85 Ca 0.15[(Zr 0.10 Ti 0.90 ) 0.91 (Nb 0.5 La 0.5 ) 0.09 ]O3-based energy storage ceramic material, wherein in step 3, the green body after degassing is heated to 1430 ℃ at a heating rate of 5 ℃ / min, and sintered for 4 h. Example 3

[0033] In this example, the BCZT-based energy storage ceramic material of the chemical formula

The (200) peak near 44.8-45.6° is slightly split, and the main peaks of different components change. That is, with the increase of doping amount, the interplanar spacing changes, indicating that the lattice constant increases.
