Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of copper processing and manufacturing, and in particular to a superconducting copper part and a preparation method thereof. Background Art
[0002] Copper has the advantages of good ductility, conductivity and low cost, and is widely used in the fields of electricity, machinery manufacturing, construction, etc.
[0003] With the vigorous development of the new energy industry, more and more application scenarios have put forward higher requirements for conductor resistance and working life under high current. Copper and silver are key conductor materials in the field of power electronics. Among them, silver has a small reserve in nature and a high price, which is not suitable for large-scale application; while copper has a large reserve in nature and a low price, but copper is easily oxidized, has a large resistance at high temperatures, and is easily ablated in high current scenarios. Graphene has excellent electrical conductivity and chemical stability, strong corrosion resistance, and can extinguish arcs when large currents are turned on and off. It is an ideal conductor material. In order to reduce the resistance of copper, the method of growing graphene on the copper surface is used to achieve the combination of copper parts and graphene, thereby improving the stability and conductivity of copper.
[0004] In the existing methods for growing graphene on the surface of copper parts, the pre-treatment of copper parts usually includes mechanical polishing, chemical polishing, electrochemical polishing, hydrogen annealing, etc., but all of them are easy to change the morphology of copper parts, and organic impurities on the copper surface are usually ignored; at the same time, the existing technology uses gaseous carbon sources such as methane and acetylene. Gaseous carbon sources require a relatively high cracking temperature, generally maintained above 1000°C, close to the melting point of copper, and are easy to change the shape of copper parts. At a temperature below 800°C, the cracking temperature of methane and other gases as carbon sources is not enough, which may affect the conductive properties of graphene / copper parts grown on copper parts.

[0032] In order to facilitate the understanding of the present invention, the present invention will be described more fully below. Preferred embodiments of the present invention are given below. However, the present invention can be implemented in many different forms and is not limited to the embodiments described herein. On the contrary, the purpose of providing these embodiments is to make the understanding of the disclosure of the present invention more thorough and comprehensive.
[0033] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as those commonly understood by those skilled in the art of the present invention. The terms used in the specification of the present invention herein are only for the purpose of describing specific embodiments and are not intended to limit the present invention.
[0034] This article relates to numerical intervals. If not otherwise specified, the above numerical intervals are deemed to be continuous and include the minimum and maximum values of the range, as well as each value between such minimum and maximum values. Within the range allowed by the error before and after the interval range, they all fall within the protection scope of the present application. Further, when the range refers to an integer, each integer between the minimum and maximum values of the range is included. In addition, when multiple ranges are provided to describe features or characteristics, the ranges can be merged. In other words, unless otherwise specified, all ranges disclosed herein should be understood to include any and all sub-ranges included therein.
[0035] The temperature parameters herein, if not specifically limited, allow for both constant temperature treatment and treatment within a certain temperature range. The constant temperature treatment allows for temperature fluctuations within the precision range of instrument control.
[0036] The technical solution of the present invention is further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and through specific implementation methods.
[0037] Figure 1 is a logic flow chart of the method for preparing the superconducting copper piece of the present invention, such as Figure 1 As shown, the present invention provides a method for preparing a superconducting copper part. In a specific embodiment of the present invention, the method comprises:
[0038] S1. placing the copper piece in a heating furnace, introducing air or other oxidizing atmosphere into the heating furnace, and heating until the surface of the copper piece is oxidized to light red, and the shape of the copper piece remains the same before and after heating;
[0039] S2. Placing the treated copper piece in a tubular furnace reaction chamber, and growing graphene on the surface of the copper piece by chemical vapor deposition to obtain a superconducting copper piece; wherein the carbon source used for the growth of graphene is a solid carbon source.
[0040] Since the surface of copper parts usually has additives such as antioxidants and surfactants, or the surface of copper parts adsorbs pollutants such as organic matter and dust in the air, by cleaning the surface of copper parts, no molecules are attached to the surface of copper parts, and the surface of copper parts is kept clean, thereby improving the growth quality of graphene on the surface of copper parts.
[0041] In some embodiments of the present invention, the copper piece is placed in a clean heating furnace and heated at 100 to 400°C for 1 to 180 minutes. In some specific examples, the heating temperature may be 100°C, 200°C, 300°C, 400°C, etc., and the heating treatment time may be 1 minute, 10 minutes, 100 minutes, 180 minutes, etc. Preferably, the heating treatment time is 5 to 60 minutes. By heating treatment, organic impurities attached to the surface of the copper piece are removed, making the copper appear light red. The shorter the heating treatment time and the lower the temperature, the slower the removal of organic matter; but at the same time, excessive temperature and time will cause the copper element to oxidize to red cuprous oxide or even black cupric oxide in air or oxygen. Depending on the degree of oxidation and the thickness of the oxide layer, the surface of the copper piece may appear red, purple, yellow, gray, black, etc.
[0042] Preferably, the copper piece is placed in a clean heating furnace and heated at 300° C. for 5 minutes. The heating furnace may be a common oven or other machines that can be used for heating.
[0043] Preferably, a fine filter is provided on the heating furnace to reduce the content of impurities such as dust in the heating furnace.
[0044] In some embodiments of the present invention, air or other oxidizing atmosphere is introduced into the heating furnace during the heating process to remove organic impurities on the copper surface by oxidation.
[0045] In some embodiments of the present invention, the copper parts are parts or products made of copper with a certain shape and specification, including but not limited to plug-in parts, connectors, guillotines and other parts. Through this method, a thin layer of graphene is grown and attached on the surface of these parts without changing the morphology of these parts, so that these parts can still be used for their original purposes, but the conductive properties of the copper parts can be significantly improved, reflecting lower impedance, higher strength and longer service life than the original copper parts.
[0046] In some embodiments of the present invention, the solid carbon source is an aromatic compound, specifically including one or a combination of naphthalene, anthracene, phenanthrene, aniline, phenylenediamine, benzidine, diazonium, quinoline, and o-phenanthroline.
[0047] By using aromatic compounds as solid carbon sources, the growth temperature of graphene is effectively reduced to as low as 400°C, further reducing production costs.
[0048] In some embodiments of the present invention, the solid carbon source can be converted from a liquid carbon source, specifically including:
[0049] A solid carrier is used to adsorb the liquid carbon source, and the mass percentage of the liquid carbon source in the solid carbon source is 1 to 10wt%. If the ratio is lower than 1wt%, the carbon source adsorbed by the solid carrier may be insufficient, which may limit the growth of graphene, resulting in insufficient coverage of the graphene layer, affecting its electrical conductivity and antioxidant capacity; if the ratio is higher than 10wt%, the solid carrier may not be able to completely adsorb all of the liquid carbon source, which may cause the unabsorbed liquid carbon source to form by-products during the reaction, affecting the purity and quality of the graphene.
[0050] The solid carrier includes at least one of activated carbon and graphene, and the liquid carbon source is an aromatic compound, specifically including one or a combination of benzene, toluene, xylene, pyrrole, nitrobenzene, phenylacetonitrile and bipyridine.
[0051] In some embodiments of the present invention, the reaction temperature of the solid carbon source and the copper part is: 250-600°C, the preferred temperature is: 300-500°C, and the optimal temperature is: 400°C. The reaction cannot occur at a reaction temperature lower than 250°C, and the copper part may be deformed if it is higher than 600°C. The solid carbon source and the copper part can react within the temperature range of 250-600°C, that is, the solid carbon source can grow on the copper part, and within this temperature range, the copper part will not agglomerate and bond. In some specific examples, the reaction temperature of the solid carbon source and the copper part can be 250°C, 300°C, 400°C, 500°C, 600°C, etc.
[0052] In some embodiments of the present invention, the reaction time of the solid carbon source and the copper piece is 10 to 600 minutes, preferably 60 to 180 minutes, and the best time is 60 minutes. If the reaction time is less than 10 minutes, a complete graphene layer may not be formed on the surface of the copper piece, affecting its conductivity and anti-oxidation performance; prolonged reaction time will increase energy consumption and increase production costs.
[0053] The solid carbon source and the copper piece react for 60 minutes to grow a superconducting copper piece with the best quality. In some specific examples, the reaction time of the solid carbon source and the copper piece is 10 minutes, 100 minutes, 200 minutes, 400 minutes, 600 minutes, etc.
[0054] In some embodiments of the present invention, a solid carbon source at 0 to 100°C is brought into a tubular furnace reaction chamber by a protective gas to grow graphene. Too low a temperature may slow down the growth rate of graphene, resulting in insufficient or uneven growth; too high a temperature may cause thermal decomposition of the solid carbon source, produce byproducts, and affect the purity and quality of graphene.
[0055] The protective gas is a mixture of nitrogen or argon and hydrogen, and the volume ratio of the hydrogen in the mixed gas is 1% to 100%, the preferred ratio is 3%-10%, and the optimal ratio is 5%. The gas flow rate of the protective gas is 5 to 500 sccm, the preferred gas flow rate is 100 to 200 sccm, and the optimal gas flow rate is 200 sccm. A small amount of hydrogen is introduced during the reaction of growing graphene to reduce the oxides generated on the surface of the copper part during the pretreatment process. Since the diffusion rate of hydrogen is very fast, the reduction reaction takes precedence over the reaction of generating graphene and will not interfere with the growth of graphene. The proportion of hydrogen in the mixed gas is less than 1%, which makes its reduction ability insufficient. If the proportion is too high, it increases the danger and interferes with the reaction of generating graphene. The gas flow rate of the protective gas is less than 5 sccm, which may cause the solid carbon source to be unable to be effectively transmitted to the reaction chamber, affecting the growth of graphene; the gas flow rate of the protective gas is higher than 500 sccm, which may cause a large load on the furnace body and the conveying system, shorten the equipment life, cause gas waste, and increase production costs.
[0056] In some specific examples, the temperature of the solid carbon source is 0°C, 10°C, 20°C, 30°C, 40°C, 50°C, 60°C, 70°C, 80°C, 90°C, 100°C, etc., preferably 40°C; in some specific examples, the proportion of hydrogen in the mixed gas can be 1%, 50%, 100%, etc.; in some specific examples, the gas flow rate of the protective gas can be 5sccm, 50sccm, 500sccm, etc.
[0057] In some embodiments of the present invention, the protective gas includes: an inert gas and hydrogen, and the inert gas includes at least one of argon and nitrogen, that is, the inert gas is all argon, or all nitrogen, or argon and nitrogen are composed of each other. The embodiments of the present invention do not specifically limit the ratio of argon and nitrogen.
[0058] A second aspect of the present invention provides a superconducting copper part, wherein the superconducting copper part is prepared by the above method. Figure 3 This is a comparison of the original copper and the superconducting copper. The left side is the original copper and the right side is the copper after growth. Figure 3 It can be seen that the superconducting copper piece has the same morphology as the original copper piece, and its color is consistent with the color of freshly reduced pure copper.
[0059] It should be clear that the use of the process provided by the embodiment of the present invention or the replacement or change of conventional data falls within the protection scope and disclosure scope of the present invention.
