Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of functional materials, and particularly relates to a high energy storage density antiferroelectric ceramic material and a preparation method thereof. Background Art

[0002] Dielectric capacitors have advantages such as high power, good reliability of density, and ultra-fast charge and discharge rates, and are widely used in modern scientific and technological fields such as electronic communication, automobiles, military, and aerospace. However, the existing energy storage dielectric materials currently have problems such as small energy storage density, low energy storage efficiency, and small discharge current, and cannot meet the development needs of current electronic devices. Antiferroelectric materials have almost zero remanent polarization intensity and extremely large polarization intensity, and their energy storage performance is superior to other dielectric materials. However, due to their low breakdown strength, the energy storage density is low, which greatly limits their application in the field of energy storage dielectrics. Therefore, studying dielectric materials with high breakdown strength and high energy storage density is the key to expanding their use fields.

[0003] Adding a high-insulating material reinforcing phase with characteristics such as low dielectric constant, low dielectric loss, wide bandgap width, and high breakdown strength to the ceramic matrix, the obtained composite material can simultaneously obtain the characteristics of the matrix and the reinforcing phase, and even obtain advantages that neither of them has. Combining the high-insulating material reinforcing phase with the ceramic matrix phase can improve the dielectric breakdown strength without significantly changing the electrical properties of the matrix ceramic, and finally obtain a composite ceramic dielectric material with better performance. Most of the high-insulating material reinforcing phases added to the ceramic matrix in the prior art are granular. Due to the shape and orientation arrangement problems of the reinforcing phase, the effect of enhancing the breakdown strength is not obvious, resulting in its energy storage density being difficult to meet the application requirements. Therefore, studying the shape and orientation of the added high-insulating material reinforcing phase in the ceramic matrix to effectively improve the breakdown strength of the antiferroelectric ceramic material and inducing a higher polarization intensity through a high electric field, thereby effectively improving the energy storage density of the antiferroelectric ceramic material has important significance. Summary of the Invention

[0023] Preferably, in step S5, the defoaming time of the vacuum defoamer is 1 - 2 h, and the stirring speed is 150 - 350 r / min.

[0024] In the above technical solution, a high energy storage density antiferroelectric ceramic material and its preparation method of the present invention have the following beneficial technical effects:

[0025] (1) The Al2O3 flake template is first prepared by the molten salt method and then tape-cast (also called doctor blading) by the tape-casting process. This tape-casting process can make the Al2O3 flake template orient in the same direction in the antiferroelectric ceramic material matrix. Then, by polishing and sputtering gold on the upper and lower surfaces parallel to the Al2O3 flake template, an antiferroelectric ceramic material with the Al2O3 flake template and the test electrodes arranged in parallel is obtained, enabling the Al2O3 flake template to effectively disperse the applied electric field in the entire antiferroelectric ceramic material matrix, reducing the non-uniform distribution of the local electric field, being beneficial to improving the breakdown strength of the antiferroelectric ceramic material, and thus increasing the energy storage density of the antiferroelectric ceramic material.

[0026] Due to the small aspect ratio of the existing granular Al2O3 reinforcement phase, after applying an electric field, the local electric field will concentrate at both ends parallel to the electric field direction, increasing the probability of breakdown behavior. Through the tape casting preparation and forming process, the Al2O3 flake templates are oriented in the same direction in the matrix of the antiferroelectric ceramic material. Then, polishing and gold spraying are carried out on the upper and lower surfaces parallel to the Al2O3 flake templates to obtain an antiferroelectric ceramic material with the Al2O3 flake templates and the test electrodes arranged in parallel. The Al2O3 flake templates can effectively disperse the applied electric field in the entire matrix of the antiferroelectric ceramic material, reducing the non-uniform distribution of the local electric field, which is beneficial to improving the breakdown strength of the antiferroelectric ceramic material and thus increasing the energy storage density of the antiferroelectric ceramic material. Since the flake Al2O3 template belongs to a high-insulation material with the characteristic of high breakdown strength under high voltage, adding the Al2O3 flake template can increase the resistance of the composite material, thereby increasing the number of bound charges and reducing the movement of free charges. In addition, due to the large aspect ratio of the parallel-aligned Al2O3 flake templates, the applied electric field can be effectively dispersed in the entire matrix of the antiferroelectric ceramic material to reduce the non-uniform distribution of the local electric field. At the same time, when an electric field is applied, the parallel-aligned Al2O3 flake templates in the composite material can form a relatively wide interfacial potential barrier, which has an obstructive effect on charge carriers, thereby reducing the leakage current and effectively hindering the extension of the electrical tree path, reducing the growth rate of the electrical tree, or even stopping its growth, avoiding the breakdown behavior of the composite material. All of the above are beneficial to improving the breakdown strength of the antiferroelectric ceramic material and thus increasing the energy storage density of the antiferroelectric ceramic material.

[0027] (2) After the sufficient stirring step of the tape casting preparation process, adding the second-phase Al2O3 flake template is beneficial to improving the breakdown strength of the antiferroelectric ceramic material composite and thus increasing the energy storage density of the antiferroelectric ceramic material.

[0028] After the sufficient stirring step of the tape casting preparation process, the Al2O3 flake templates are uniformly distributed in the antiferroelectric ceramic material. The dielectric constant of Al2O3 is about 10, (Pb 0.98 La 0.02 )(Zr 0.7 Sn 0.3 ) 0.995The dielectric constant of the O3 solid solution powder ceramic is about 500, and the difference in dielectric constant between the two is relatively large. According to the voltage division theory, when an electric field is applied, due to the low dielectric constant of Al2O3, more voltage will accumulate on Al2O3, thus forming a local electric field distribution. The breakdown field strength of Al2O3 itself is relatively high and can withstand a higher electric field intensity, enabling the matrix of the antiferroelectric ceramic material in the composite material to withstand a higher voltage than that of pure ceramics. Therefore, adding the second-phase Al2O3 flake template is beneficial to improving the breakdown strength of the antiferroelectric ceramic material composite, and further improving the energy storage density of the antiferroelectric ceramic material.

[0029] (3) The Al2O3 flake template exists as the second phase in the antiferroelectric ceramic material composite and does not change the antiferroelectric properties of the antiferroelectric ceramic material composite, enabling the characteristics of the multi-stage phase transformation of the matrix ceramic of the antiferroelectric ceramic material to be maintained while obtaining a high breakdown strength. Under the induction of a high electric field, due to the antiferroelectric-ferroelectric phase transformation in the antiferroelectric system of the antiferroelectric ceramic material, the polarization intensity can be greatly enhanced. According to the formula, with the increase of the polarization intensity P, the value of the energy storage density W rec can be effectively guaranteed to increase.

[0030] (4) The composition and process of the present invention are simple, easy to operate, have good repeatability, and the raw materials are cheap and easily available. Description of the Drawings

[0045] S4: Place the ceramic slurry obtained in step S3 in a beaker, add a magnetic stirring bar to the beaker, and then according to the chemical formula (Pb 0.98 La 0.02 )(Zr 0.7 Sn 0.3 ) 0.995 O3 - xwt%Al2O3 stoichiometric ratio, proportionally add Al2O3 flake templates prepared by the molten salt method according to patent CN107326432. The radial diameter of the Al2O3 flake template is 9.5 μm and the thickness is 0.55 μm. The mass of the added Al2O3 flake template is xwt% of the mass of the PLZS fine powder in step S2, and then place the beaker on a magnetic stirrer and stir. The stirring speed is 450 - 600 r / min and the stirring time is 24 - 36 h. After stirring, a mixed slurry is obtained, and the viscosity of the mixed slurry reaches about 1000 Pa·S;

[0046] S5: Use a vacuum degassing machine to degas the mixed slurry obtained in step S4 by stirring and vacuum pumping. The vacuum degassing time is 1 - 2 h and the stirring speed is 150 - 350 r / min;

[0047] S6: Cast the slurry obtained in step S5 using a manual casting machine. According to the literature "G.N. Howatt, R.G. Breckenridge, J.M.Brownlow. Fabrication of Thin Ceramic Sheets for Capacitors. Journal of the American Ceramic Society, 30[8] 237 - 42(1947)", through the casting preparation process, the Al2O3 flake templates are oriented in the same direction in the matrix of the high energy storage density antiferroelectric ceramic material. The casting speed of the manual casting machine is 3.5 - 4 cm / min, and the single layer thickness of the obtained ceramic film is 0.07 - 0.09 mm. After drying and cutting, a ceramic film with a size of 25 mm × 25 mm is obtained;

[0048] S7: Stack the ceramic films obtained in step S6 with the Al2O3 flake templates oriented in the same direction and place them in a mold. The ceramic film stack is 20 - 25 layers. Heat the mold using a heating jacket and perform hot pressing using a manual press. The hot pressing temperature of the manual press is 50 - 60 °C, the hot pressing pressure of the manual press is 20 - 25 Mpa, and the pressure holding time is 10 - 15 min. Then compact it using a cold isostatic press at a pressure of 200 - 300 MPa to obtain a large square ceramic green body with a size of 25 mm × 25 mm and a thickness of 1 - 1.5 mm. Finally, manually cut it to obtain a small square ceramic green body with a size of 5 mm × 5 mm and a thickness of 1 - 1.5 mm;

The PLZS fine powder is ball - milled and mixed evenly with organic solvents such as anhydrous ethanol, butanone solvent, polyvinyl butyral binder, triethyl phosphate dispersant, and dibutyl phthalate plasticizer, so that the film obtained after casting the slurry has plasticity. The ball - milled slurry is poured out and placed in a beaker. A magnetic stirrer is added to the beaker, and then Al2O3 flake templates are added to the beaker. Then the beaker is placed on a magnetic stirrer for stirring. After stirring evenly, when the viscosity of the slurry reaches about 1000 Pa·S, the slurry is poured into the degassing tank of a vacuum degassing machine and then placed in the vacuum degassing machine. Defoaming is carried out by stirring and vacuum pumping, and then casting is carried out on a manual casting machine. After that, through processes such as lamination, hot - pressing heat treatment, etc., a composite ceramic with Al2O3 flake templates oriented in the same direction in the PLZS matrix ceramic can be obtained. The composite ceramic is then polished and sprayed with gold on the upper and lower surfaces parallel to the Al2O3 flake templates, and finally a ceramic product with the Al2O3 flake templates parallel to the test electrodes is obtained.

Journal of the American Ceramic Society, 30[8] 237 - 42(1947)", through the casting preparation process, the Al2O3 flake templates are oriented in the same direction in the matrix of the high - energy - density antiferroelectric ceramic material. The casting speed of the manual casting machine is 3.5 - 4 cm / min, and the single - layer thickness of the obtained ceramic film is 0.07 - 0.09 mm. After drying and cutting, a ceramic film with a size of 25 mm × 25 mm is obtained;

[0061] S7: The ceramic films obtained in step S6 are stacked with the Al2O3 flake templates oriented in the same direction and placed in a mold. The ceramic film stack is 20 - 25 layers. The mold is heated by a heating jacket, and hot pressing is carried out by a manual press. The hot - pressing temperature of the manual press is 50 - 60 °C, the hot - pressing pressure of the manual press is 20 - 25 Mpa, and the pressure - holding time is 10 - 15 min. Then, it is compacted by a cold isostatic press at a pressure of 200 - 300 MPa to obtain a large - square ceramic green body with a size of 25 mm × 25 mm and a thickness of 1 - 1.5 mm. Finally, it is manually cut to obtain a small - square ceramic green body with a size of 5 mm × 5 mm and a thickness of 1 - 1.5 mm;

[0062] S8: The small - square green body obtained in step S7 is placed in an Al2O3 crucible, and then the Al2O3 crucible is placed in a muffle furnace for debinding. After sintering at 600 - 650 °C for 4 - 6 h, it is sintered at 1170 - 1200 °C for 3 - 4 h to obtain a sintered ceramic sheet with a dense structure;

[0136] Experiment 1

[0137] The Smartlab 3KW produced by Rigaku was used to measure the phase structure of the ceramic materials prepared in Examples 1 - 4 and Comparative Example 1 respectively. Figure 1 is the XRD pattern of the ceramic materials prepared in Examples 1 - 4 and Comparative Example 1. It can be seen from Figure 1 that the prepared ceramic materials are all pure phases. Maybe because the amount of Al2O3 added is too small, the peak of Al2O3 was not detected.

[0138] Experiment 2

[0139] The Phenom ProX produced by Phenom - World BV in the Netherlands was used to test the cross - sections of the ceramic materials prepared in Examples 1 - 4 and Comparative Example 1 respectively. Figure 2 is the SEM pattern of the cross - sections of the ceramic materials prepared in Examples 1 - 4 and Comparative Example 1. Figure 2 In the figure, a - e are the SEM patterns of Comparative Example 1, Example 2, Example 1, Example 3, and Example 4 respectively. Only pure matrix ceramic grains were observed in the SEM pattern of Comparative Example 1. Compared with the pure matrix ceramic of Comparative Example 1, parallel - arranged flaky templates (in the framed area) can be clearly observed in Examples 1 - 4, and as the content of Al2O3 flaky templates in Examples 2, 1, 3, and 4 increases in turn, the number of observed flaky templates also gradually increases.

[0140] To further confirm that the flaky template is Al2O3,Figure 3 EDS spectrum of the ceramic material in Example 1. Through SEM images ( Figure 3 a) and elemental contrast ( Figure 3 b), it was found that Al elements were aggregated on the flaky template, while Pb, La, Zr, Sn, and O elements were uniformly distributed in the matrix ceramic. This indicates that the added Al2O3 flaky template did not dissolve into the matrix ceramic and existed as a second phase in the composite ceramic.

[0141] Experiment 3

[0142] The dielectric properties of the ceramic materials prepared in Examples 1 - 4 and Comparative Example 1 were tested using the E4990A produced by Keysight Technologies, Inc. of the United States, and the changing rules of the influence of Al2O3 on the dielectric properties of the ceramic materials were analyzed. Figure 4 Figure showing the changing rules of the relative dielectric constant (ε r ) of the ceramic materials prepared in Examples 1 - 4 and Comparative Example 1 with temperature. It can be seen that adding a small amount of Al2O3 has no effect on the dielectric properties of the composite material, indicating that adding Al2O3 will not significantly change the electrical properties of the ceramic material.

[0143] Experiment 4

[0144] The ferroelectric properties of the ceramic materials prepared in Examples 1 - 4 and Comparative Examples 1 - 13 were tested using the TF 3000E ferroelectric analyzer produced by aixACCT GmbH of Germany. Figure 5 Figure showing the ferroelectric hysteresis loops of the ceramic materials prepared in Examples 1 - 4 at a test frequency of 10 Hz, Figure 6 Figure showing the ferroelectric hysteresis loops of the ceramic materials prepared in Comparative Examples 1 - 13 at a test frequency of 10 Hz. It can be seen from the figure that the ferroelectric hysteresis loops obtained from the ceramic materials prepared in Examples 1 - 4 and Comparative Examples 1 - 13 all exhibit multi - stage phase transitions. The Al2O3 flaky template exists as a second phase in the antiferroelectric ceramic material composite and does not change the antiferroelectric characteristics of the lead - based ceramic, enabling the achievement of a high breakdown strength while maintaining the multi - stage phase transition characteristics of the matrix ceramic of the antiferroelectric ceramic material. The P r value (remanent polarization) of the ceramic material is small. According to the formula, a small P r value can effectively ensure an increase in the energy storage density value W rec . Under the induction of a high electric field in Examples 1 - 4, due to the antiferroelectric - ferroelectric phase transition, the polarization intensity P can be greatly enhanced. According to

[0145] the formula, an increase in the polarization intensity P can effectively ensure an increase in the energy storage density value W rec .

[0146] Table 1 shows the ferroelectric performance parameters of the ceramic materials prepared in Examples 1-4 and Comparative Examples 1-13. The energy storage density and energy storage efficiency can be calculated according to the following formulas:

[0147]

[0148] Among them, W total is the total energy storage density value; W rec is the releasable energy storage density value; η is the energy storage efficiency; E is the applied electric field strength; P is the polarization intensity; P r is the remanent polarization intensity; P max is the maximum polarization value. The breakdown field strength E of Examples 1-4 b ranges from 480 to 560 kV / cm, and the value of the energy storage density W rec is between 10.31 and 13.5 J / cm 3 . It can be seen from Table 1 that as the content of flaky Al2O3 added in Example 2, Example 1, Example 3, and Example 4 gradually increases, the breakdown strength gradually increases, indicating that adding the flaky Al2O3 template and making it parallel to the test electrode can improve the breakdown strength of the ceramic material, thereby increasing the energy storage density of the antiferroelectric ceramic material.

[0149] However, since Al2O3 is a linear dielectric material with a low polarization intensity, in Example 2, Example 1, Example 3, and Example 4, as the flaky Al2O3 template increases, the polarization intensity of the composite material first increases and then decreases. Therefore, the W rec energy storage density also first increases and then decreases. The maximum energy storage density of 13.5 J / cm 3 is obtained in the PLZS-0.3wt% Al2O3 ceramic material prepared in Example 1. Therefore, x in the present invention cannot be too low or too high. If x is too low, when it is 0, the improvement of the breakdown strength of the ceramic material of the present invention is limited and the energy storage density is too low. If x is too high, greater than 0.7, the maximum polarization intensity of the ceramic material of the present invention will decrease, resulting in a decrease in the energy storage density and efficiency.

[0150] The breakdown strength of the PLZS pure matrix ceramic material prepared in Comparative Example 1 is relatively small, which is 390 kV / cm, and the W rec energy storage density value is 8.74 J / cm 3, the Al2O3 added to the ceramic materials prepared in Comparative Examples 2-5 is granular and randomly arranged in the composite antiferroelectric ceramic material. Compared with the pure matrix ceramic of Comparative Example 1, the ceramic materials prepared in Comparative Examples 2-5 can increase the breakdown electric field of the composite antiferroelectric ceramic material from 390 kV / cm to 450 kV / cm. When the Al2O3 flake templates in the ceramic materials prepared in Comparative Examples 6-9 are randomly arranged in the composite antiferroelectric ceramic material, the breakdown electric field of the composite antiferroelectric ceramic material also increases compared with the pure matrix ceramic material, which is similar to the ceramic materials prepared in Comparative Example 2, and the range is 410-440 kV / cm. When the Al2O3 flake templates in Comparative Examples 10-13 are arranged perpendicular to the test electrodes, their breakdown electric fields do not increase but decrease, even lower than that of the pure matrix ceramic material. The above shows that the morphology and arrangement of Al2O3 in the composite antiferroelectric ceramic material have an important influence on the polarization intensity of the composite antiferroelectric ceramic material, thus affecting the energy storage density of the composite antiferroelectric ceramic material. When the reinforcing phase is the Al2O3 flake template, the energy storage density of the composite antiferroelectric ceramic material can be increased by about 50% at most when the Al2O3 flake templates are oriented and arranged parallel to the test electrodes in the antiferroelectric ceramic material. It can be seen that changing the morphology and arrangement of the reinforcing phase Al2O3 is an effective way to significantly improve the breakdown electric field and energy storage density of the composite antiferroelectric ceramic material. Examples 1-4 prove that when the reinforcing phase Al2O3 is added as a flake template and the flake template is parallel to the test electrodes, the enhancement effect of the breakdown strength of the antiferroelectric ceramic material is the most obvious. The reasons are as follows:

[0151] (1) The Al2O3 flake templates are first prepared by the molten salt method and then tape-cast (also called doctor blading) by the tape-casting process. This tape-casting process can make the Al2O3 flake templates oriented and arranged in the same direction in the antiferroelectric ceramic material matrix. Then, by polishing and sputtering gold on the upper and lower surfaces parallel to the Al2O3 flake templates, the antiferroelectric ceramic material with the Al2O3 flake templates arranged parallel to the test electrodes is obtained, so that the Al2O3 flake templates can effectively disperse the applied electric field in the entire antiferroelectric ceramic material matrix to reduce the non-uniform distribution of the local electric field, which is beneficial to improving the breakdown strength of the antiferroelectric ceramic material and further improving the energy storage density of the antiferroelectric ceramic material.

[0152] Due to the small aspect ratio of the existing granular Al2O3 reinforcement phase, after applying an electric field, the local electric field will concentrate at both ends parallel to the electric field direction, increasing the probability of breakdown behavior. Through the tape casting preparation process, the Al2O3 flake templates are oriented in the same direction in the matrix of the antiferroelectric ceramic material. Then, polishing and gold spraying are carried out on the upper and lower surfaces parallel to the Al2O3 flake templates to obtain an antiferroelectric ceramic material with the Al2O3 flake templates and test electrodes arranged in parallel. Since the flake Al2O3 template is a high-insulation material with the characteristic of high breakdown voltage withstand strength, adding the Al2O3 flake template can increase the resistance of the composite material, thereby increasing the number of bound charges and reducing the movement of free charges. In addition, due to the large aspect ratio of the parallel-aligned Al2O3 flake templates, the applied electric field can be effectively dispersed throughout the matrix of the antiferroelectric ceramic material to alleviate the non-uniform distribution of the local electric field. At the same time, when an electric field is applied, the parallel-aligned Al2O3 flake templates in the composite material can form a relatively wide interfacial potential barrier, which has an obstructive effect on charge carriers, thereby reducing the leakage current and effectively hindering the extension of the electrical tree path, reducing the growth rate of the electrical tree, and even stopping its growth, avoiding the breakdown behavior of the composite material. All of the above are beneficial to improving the breakdown strength of the antiferroelectric ceramic material and further increasing the energy storage density of the antiferroelectric ceramic material.

[0153] (2) After the sufficient stirring step of the tape casting preparation process, adding the second-phase Al2O3 flake template is beneficial to improving the breakdown strength of the antiferroelectric ceramic material composite, and further increasing the energy storage density of the antiferroelectric ceramic material.

[0154] After the sufficient stirring step of the tape casting preparation process, the Al2O3 flake templates are evenly distributed in the antiferroelectric ceramic material. The dielectric constant of Al2O3 is about 10, and (Pb 0.98 La 0.02 )(Zr 0.7 Sn 0.3 ) 0.995 O3 solid solution powder ceramics have a dielectric constant of about 500, and the difference in dielectric constants between the two is relatively large. According to the voltage division theory, when an electric field is applied, due to the low dielectric constant of Al2O3, more voltage will accumulate on Al2O3, thus forming a local electric field distribution. The breakdown field strength of Al2O3 itself is relatively high and can withstand a higher electric field intensity, making the voltage that the antiferroelectric ceramic material matrix in the composite material can withstand higher than that of pure ceramics. Therefore, adding the second-phase Al2O3 flake template is beneficial to improving the breakdown strength of the antiferroelectric ceramic material composite and further increasing the energy storage density of the antiferroelectric ceramic material.

[0155] (3) The Al2O3 flake template exists as a second phase in the antiferroelectric ceramic material composite, without changing the antiferroelectric properties of the antiferroelectric ceramic material composite, enabling the characteristics of the multi-stage phase transition of the matrix ceramic of the antiferroelectric ceramic material to be maintained while obtaining a high breakdown strength. Under the induction of a high electric field in the antiferroelectric system of the antiferroelectric ceramic material, due to the antiferroelectric-ferroelectric phase transition, the polarization intensity can be greatly enhanced. According to the formula, with the increase of the polarization intensity P, the value of the energy storage density W rec can be effectively guaranteed to increase.
