Technical Background

[0002] HCHO is a colorless organic compound with a pungent odor. According to the "Guidelines for Passenger Car Interior Air Quality Assessment" GB / T 27630-2011, the HCHO concentration in the car air shall not exceed 0.1 mg / m 3 The World Health Organization believes that when the HCHO concentration is higher than 80ppb (0.1mg / m 3 ), it will cause potential harm to human health. Long-term contact may cause headaches, sore throat, allergic reactions, and in severe cases may even lead to gene mutations and malignant tumors. Some HCHO-sensitive people, such as asthma patients, pregnant women, and children, need to pay special attention. With the rapid development of my country's new energy vehicle industry, the sales volume of domestic new energy vehicles has shown an increasing trend year by year, making people pay more and more attention to the problem of excessive HCHO in the interior environment of new cars. Therefore, it is urgent to develop a sensing material that can be used for real-time monitoring of HCHO in the interior environment of the car.

[0003] Metal oxide semiconductor gas sensors have won wide recognition in many fields such as environmental protection, pollution control and safety monitoring due to their excellent sensing performance, convenient integration characteristics and affordable cost, and have become a powerful assistant in detecting toxic and harmful gases. However, when performing real-time monitoring of HCHO inside the vehicle, these sensors face the challenges of high detection threshold, insufficient selectivity and susceptibility to interference from air humidity. In view of this, the development of HCHO gas sensing materials with low detection threshold, high selectivity and certain moisture resistance has become a research frontier and hot topic in the field of automotive sensor technology. Summary of the invention

[0004] In view of the problems existing in the background technology, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a Sb-doped nano-tin oxide semiconductor in-vehicle environment HCHO sensing material and a supercritical hydrothermal preparation method and application thereof.

[0005] In order to achieve the above purpose, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions:

[0006] A supercritical hydrothermal preparation method of Sb-doped nano-tin oxide semiconductor in-vehicle environment HCHO sensing material comprises the following steps:

[0007] Step 1: Prepare the precursor solution of Sn element;

[0016] Furthermore, the sample collection system is composed of a water cooling device, a filter, and a back pressure valve.

[0017] Furthermore, in step three, the process of preparing SnO2 semiconductor HCHO sensing materials doped with different Sb contents using the CSHS device is as follows: three high-pressure delivery pumps for liquid chromatography respectively pump ultrapure water, Sn element precursor solution, and Sb element precursor solution at room temperature at a certain flow rate and give the three pipelines an initial pressure of more than 22Mpa-25Mpa, relying on the back pressure valve at the end outlet of the system to maintain the internal pressure of the entire system stable; the normal temperature and high pressure Sn and Sb element precursor solutions are merged into a tee for initial mixing, and at the same time, the normal temperature and high pressure ultrapure water flows through the first set of electric heating devices and is heated to 450℃-550℃ to reach supercritical. state, and then the precursor mixed solution of Sn and Sb elements and supercritical water are merged into a four-way mixer for secondary mixing, and then flow into the second set of electric heating device after being fully mixed. The temperature is still maintained at 450℃-550℃, and the precursor mixed solution of Sn and Sb elements is fully contacted with supercritical water for more than 2s to react.

For those skilled in the art, the present invention can be fully understood without the description of these details.

[0036] Step 1: Prepare 1L of Sn element precursor solution. Use a measuring cylinder to accurately measure 1L of ultrapure water and place it in a reagent bottle. Take 1000μL of liquid SnCl4 and weigh it. Measure the density three times and take the average value as 2.17g / ml. Use a pipette to measure 2417μL of liquid SnCl4 and place it in a reagent bottle. After the solute is dissolved, place the reagent bottle on a magnetic stirrer and stir at 600r / min for 30min to obtain 1L of Sn element precursor solution.

[0037] Step 2: Prepare 1L of precursor solution of Sb element. Use a measuring cylinder to accurately measure 1L of ultrapure water into a reagent bottle, use a balance to accurately weigh 4.6mg of SbCl3 crystals, place them in a reagent bottle, and add a certain amount of NaOH to the SbCl3 solution to inhibit the hydrolysis of SbCl3. After the solute is dissolved, place the reagent bottle on a magnetic stirrer and stir at a speed of 600r / min for 30min to obtain 1L of precursor solution of Sb element. The total concentration of metal ions in the two bottles of precursor solution is controlled to be 0.02mol / L. At this time, the molar percentage of Sb element in the total concentration of metal ions in the two bottles of precursor solution is 0.1%. The molar percentage of Sn element in the total concentration of metal ions in the two bottles of solution is 99.9%.

[0040] Reaction system: It consists of two sets of electric heating devices and corresponding liquid phase pipelines and adapters. The electric heating device (large) is used to heat the room temperature high pressure deionized water to 450℃ to make it reach the supercritical state. The electric heating device (small) is used to keep the straight pipe section at the mixer outlet warm to ensure that the contact time between the mixed solution of the precursor and the additive and the supercritical water reaches more than 2s.

The back pressure valve at the end outlet of the system is used to maintain the internal pressure of the entire system stable. The precursor solutions of Sn and Sb elements at room temperature and high pressure are introduced into a three-way for primary mixing. At the same time, the ultrapure water at room temperature and high pressure flows through an electric heating device (large) and is heated to 450° C. to reach a supercritical state. Then, the precursor mixed solution of Sn and Sb elements and the supercritical water are introduced into a four-way mixer for secondary mixing. After being fully mixed, they flow into the electric heating device (small). The temperature is still maintained at 450° C., and the precursor mixed solution of Sn and Sb elements is fully contacted with the supercritical water for more than 2 seconds to react. After contacting with the supercritical water, the precursor mixed solution of Sn and Sb elements reacts rapidly and crystallizes to generate nano-oxides. After the reaction liquid flows out of the electric heating device (small), it enters the sample collection system, is cooled, depressurized, and filtered, and finally a suspension of 0.1% Sb-doped nano-SnO2 semiconductor HCHO sensing material is obtained.

[0044] Step 4: After the reaction is completed, the nano suspension is collected and settled for 12 hours. After centrifugation and washing are repeated 6 times, it is frozen in a freeze dryer for 4 hours and freeze-dried for 24 hours. The powder is taken out, ground and placed in a glass container. Argon is used to exhaust the air in the bottle, and the edge is sealed with sealing tape to obtain 0.1% Sb-doped nano SnO2 semiconductor HCHO sensor material powder.

[0045] Step 5: Use a balance to weigh 100 mg of the 0.1% Sb-doped nano-SnO2 semiconductor HCHO sensor material powder obtained in step 4, use a pipette to measure 500 μL of ultrapure water, put it in a sample tube, mix it evenly, use a pipette to absorb 2.5 μL of the mixture, and drop it on the interdigitated electrode sheet on the gold substrate. Use a 70°C heating table to dry it and let it stand for 30 minutes to obtain an electrode that can be used to test the HCHO sensor performance.

After the precursor mixed solution of Sn and Sb elements contacts with supercritical water, it reacts rapidly and crystallizes to form nano-oxides. After the reaction liquid flows out of the second set of electric heating devices, it enters the sample collection system for cooling, pressure relief, and filtration, and finally a suspension of nano-SnO2 semiconductor HCHO sensing materials doped with different contents of Sb is obtained.
