[0002] The rapid development of high-frequency communication technology has driven the urgent demand for 5G / 6G communication equipment with larger capacity and faster transmission speed, which in turn has put forward more stringent performance requirements for microwave dielectric ceramic materials. These ceramic materials have a suitable dielectric constant ( ), near-zero temperature coefficient of resonant frequency (TCF) and high quality factor ( Qf ) is characterized by its high dielectric constant and plays a vital role in modern communication systems. It is widely used in fields such as filters, dielectric antennas, substrates and resonators. It is particularly noteworthy that the lower sintering temperature (less than 900°C) can meet the application requirements of low-temperature co-fired ceramics (LTCC) technology; the low dielectric constant can effectively reduce the delay of signal propagation, the high quality factor ensures excellent frequency selectivity and energy efficiency, and the near-zero TCF value ensures the thermal stability of communication equipment under different temperature environments. In addition, the ceramic material formula should be conducive to the process flow and easy to industrialize.

[0035] The present application will be further described in detail below in combination with specific embodiments, but the embodiments of the present application are not limited thereto.
[0036] The present embodiment provides an environment-friendly scheelite high-entropy microwave dielectric ceramic material, and the material has a structural expression of Na 0.5 (LaPrNdX) 0.5 / N MoO4, wherein X is selected from at least two of Bi, Ce, Sm, Eu and Y, and N is the sum of the element types of La, Pr, Nd and X.
[0037] Specifically, the ceramic material Na 0.5 (LaPrNdX) 0.5 / N MoO4, wherein X is selected from at least two of Bi, Ce, Sm, Eu and Y, i.e. X can be two, three, four or five of Bi, Ce, Sm, Eu and Y, and N can be 5, 6, 7 or 8, so that the ceramic material simultaneously has 5 elements or 6 elements or 7 elements or 8 elements at one element position.
[0038] It can be understood that when X is selected from two of Bi, Ce, Sm, Eu, and Y, the sum N of the number of element types of La, Pr, Nd, and X is 5, for example, Na 0.5 (BiLaPrNdSm) 0.1 MoO4; when X is selected from three of Bi, Ce, Sm, Eu, and Y, the sum N of the number of element types of La, Pr, Nd, and X is 6, for example, Na 0.5 (BiLaPrNdSmEu) 0.5 / 6 MoO4; when X is selected from four of Bi, Ce, Sm, Eu, and Y, the sum N of the number of element types of La, Pr, Nd, and X is 7, for example, Na 0.5 (BiLaPrNdSmEuY) 0.5 / 7 MoO4; when X is selected from five of Bi, Ce, Sm, Eu, and Y, the sum N of the number of element types of La, Pr, Nd, and X is 8, for example, Na 0.5 (BiCeLaPrNdSmEuY) 0.5 / 8 MoO4.

[0040] It should be noted that the ceramic material Na 0.5 (LaPrNdX) 0.5 / N MoO4is not limited to the above examples, and the materials satisfying the above principles all belong to the scope of the ceramic material Na 0.5 (LaPrNdX) 0.5 / N MoO4.
[0041] Specifically, the ceramic material Na 0.5 (LaPrNdX) 0.5 / N MoO4has a sintering temperature of 600-740°C and can be sintered at a relatively low sintering range. It should be noted that 600-740°C is the sintering temperature range of the ceramic material Na 0.5 (LaPrNdX) 0.5 / N MoO4ceramic system to achieve a better performance sintering temperature.
[0042] Specifically, the ceramic material Na 0.5 (LaPrNdX) 0.5 / N MoO4has a relative dielectric constant of 10-16, a quality factor Qf of 20000-50000 GHz, and a resonance frequency temperature coefficient TCF of -30 to -60 ppm / °C.
[0043] Specifically, the ceramic material Na 0.5 (LaPrNdX) 0.5 / N MoO4 is environmentally friendly and non-toxic and can be co-fired with Ag electrodes or Al electrodes.
[0044] For example, the environmentally friendly scheelite high entropy microwave dielectric ceramic material is a high entropy ceramic Na 0.5 (BiLaPrNdSm) 0.1 MoO4, this ceramic material is the first successfully prepared high entropy ultra-low temperature co-fired ceramic (ULTCC) microwave dielectric ceramic material, which can be sintered densely at an ultra-low sintering temperature of 600°C and maintain a very high density within 640~880°C, with a density greater than 97%; and Na 0.5 (BiLaPrNdSm) 0.1 MoO4 ceramic material also has excellent microwave dielectric properties: dielectric constant =15.7, quality factor Qf =33000GHz(@8.5GHz), resonant frequency temperature coefficient TCF=-37.8ppm / °C; In addition, Na 0.5 (BiLaPrNdSm) 0.1 MoO4 ceramic materials are also chemically compatible with the metal electrodes Ag or Al used in low-temperature co-fired ceramics (LTCC).

In addition, the ceramic material is also chemically compatible with the metal electrodes Ag or Al of commonly used low-temperature co-fired ceramics, proving the feasibility of improving the microwave dielectric properties of the material through high-entropy composition design, thereby meeting the technical requirements of LTCC substrate materials.
[0046] This embodiment also provides a method for preparing a molybdenum-based microwave dielectric ceramic material, which is used to prepare the molybdenum-based microwave dielectric ceramic material described in the above embodiment.
[0047] See Figure 1 , Figure 1A flowchart of a preparation method of an environment-friendly scheelite high-entropy microwave dielectric ceramic material is provided for an embodiment of the present application. The preparation method comprises the following steps:
[0048] S1, according to the structural expression of the ceramic material, Na 0.5 (LaPrNdX) 0.5 / N MoO4, Na2CO3, La2O3, Pr2O3, Nd2O3, MoO3 and the oxide of element X are weighed as raw materials, wherein X is selected from at least two of Bi, Ce, Sm, Eu and Y, N is the sum of the element types of La, Pr, Nd and X, and the oxide of element X is selected from at least two of Bi2O3, CeO2, Sm2O3, Eu2O3 and Y2O3.
[0049] Specifically, the oxide of element X is the oxide of X element Bi, Ce, Sm, Eu and Y, i.e. Bi2O3, CeO2, Sm2O3, Eu2O3 and Y2O3. The molar ratio of X element Bi, Ce, Sm, Eu and Y is 1:1:1:1:1, and the molar ratio of the oxide of element X Bi2O3, CeO2, Sm2O3, Eu2O3 and Y2O3 is 1:2:1:1:1. For example, if X selects Ce and Sm, the oxide of element X is CeO2 and Sm2O3, and the molar ratio of CeO2 and Sm2O3 is 2:1; if X selects Bi, Eu and Sm, the oxide of element X is Bi2O3, Eu2O3 and Sm2O3, and the molar ratio of Bi2O3, Eu2O3 and Sm2O3 is 1:1:1.
[0050] Specifically, Na2CO3, La2O3, Pr2O3, Nd2O3, Bi2O3, CeO2, Sm2O3, Eu2O3, Y2O3 and MoO3 all have analytical purity. For example, the purity of Na2CO3 is 99%, the purity of MoO3 is 99.95%, the purity of La2O3, Pr2O3, Nd2O3, Sm2O3 and Eu2O3 is 99.5%, the purity of Y2O3 is 99%, and the purity of Bi2O3 is 99.9%, and the purity of CeO2 is 99%.
[0051] Further, before use, the oxides La2O3, Pr2O3, Nd2O3, Bi2O3, CeO2, Sm2O3, Eu2O3 and Y2O3 are put into a muffle furnace for pretreatment, and the pretreatment condition is 700-850°C for 3-6h. For example, the oxides are put into a muffle furnace for 4h at 780°C.
[0052] S2, the raw materials are uniformly mixed by a primary ball milling process to obtain a primary ball milled powder.
[0053] Specifically, the raw material, zirconium ball and anhydrous ethanol (ball milling medium) are added into the ball milling tank in a mass ratio of 1:2:1, and after being sealed, they are placed on a planetary ball mill for primary ball milling to mix uniformly. The primary ball milling parameters include a rotation speed of 200-300 r / min and a time of 3-6 h, to obtain the primary ball-milled powder.
[0054] S3, pre-sintering the primary ball-milled powder to obtain a pre-sintered ceramic powder.
[0055] Specifically, the primary ball-milled powder is first dried. For example, the primary ball-milled powder is placed in a general oven and dried at 100°C for 24 h. Then, the dried powder is pre-sintered at 550-650°C for 4-8 h to form the material phase, to obtain the pre-sintered ceramic powder.
[0056] S4, secondary ball milling of the ceramic powder to obtain a secondary ball-milled powder.
[0057] Specifically, the ceramic powder can be first ground finely by a manual grinding method, and then placed in a ball milling tank for secondary ball milling to further refine the particle size of the powder. The secondary ball milling parameters include a rotation speed of 200-300 r / min and a time of 3-6 h, to obtain the secondary ball-milled powder.
[0058] S5, tabletting and sintering of the secondary ball-milled powder to obtain the ceramic material.
[0059] Specifically, the secondary ball-milled powder is dried, and anhydrous ethanol is added to the dried powder for wetting. After wetting, the ceramic bulk is first pressed, and then the ceramic bulk is tightly pressed. Then, the anhydrous ethanol is removed, and sintering is performed to obtain the ceramic material.
[0060] In an alternative embodiment, the secondary ball-milled powder is dried at 100°C for 24 h. Anhydrous ethanol is added to the dried powder in a weight percentage of 5-8% for wetting. After wetting, the ceramic bulk is first pressed by a manual press at a pressure of 100-200 MPa, and then tightly pressed in an isostatic press at a pressure of 200-300 MPa for 3 min. Then, the anhydrous ethanol is removed by heating at 90-150°C for 1-2 h, and finally sintering is performed at 600-740°C for 6-8 h, to obtain an environmentally friendly low-temperature sintering molybdenum-based high-entropy microwave dielectric ceramic material.
[0061] For example, the shape of the ceramic bulk is a cylinder with a diameter of 10 mm and a height of 5 mm.
[0062] Currently, most microwave dielectric ceramic materials are prepared using the traditional solid-phase reaction method, which uses polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) as a binder and then removes it by keeping it at 550°C for 4 hours. However, as the ceramic sintering temperature continues to decrease (<550°C), the PVA introduced during the granulation process cannot be completely eliminated. The residual PVA reduces the density of the ceramic and increases the loss of the ceramic. The preparation method of this embodiment adopts an improved solid-phase reaction method, replacing the polyvinyl alcohol in the traditional solid-phase reaction method with anhydrous ethanol. Anhydrous ethanol is added to the dried powder and then pressed into a ceramic block. Anhydrous ethanol is easily removed from the pressed ceramic. This not only reduces the effect of the binder polyvinyl alcohol on the density and loss of the ceramic, improving the performance of the material, but also simplifies the preparation process and makes the preparation process simple.
[0063] This embodiment further illustrates the molybdenum-based microwave dielectric ceramic material and its preparation method through the following examples.
[0064] Example 1
[0065] The raw materials of analytical purity Na2CO3, Pr2O3, CeO2, Y2O3, La2O3, Nd2O3 and MoO3 were prepared in a molar ratio of 5:1:2:1:1:1:20, and the weighed Pr2O3, CeO2, Y2O3, La2O3 and Nd2O3 were placed in a muffle furnace and kept warm at 780°C for 4 hours. The prepared raw materials, zirconium balls and anhydrous ethanol were then ball milled once in a mass ratio of 1:2:1 to fully mix them. The ball milling speed was 200-300r / min for 4 hours to obtain a primary ball milled powder. The primary ball milled powder was placed in a conventional oven and dried at 100°C for 24 hours. The dried powder was then placed in a crucible and heated at 550 o C for 4 hours to obtain the pre-fired ceramic powder. After the pre-fired ceramic is manually ground, it is put into the ball mill again for secondary ball milling. The secondary ball milling speed is 200~300r / min and the time is 4h to obtain the secondary ball milling powder. The secondary ball milling powder is dried at 100°C for 24h, and then 5% by weight of anhydrous ethanol is added to the dried powder to moisten it. After moistening, it is first pressed into a cylindrical ceramic block with a diameter of 10mm and a height of 5mm under a pressure of 100MPa using a manual press, and then pressed tightly at a pressure of 200MPa in an isostatic press. The tightly pressed ceramic is first pressed at 120 o C for 1 hour to remove the anhydrous ethanol, and then sintered in air at 600-680°C at 600°C, 620°C, 640°C, 660°C, and 680°C for 6 hours to obtain the environmentally friendly low-temperature sintered high-entropy microwave dielectric ceramic material Na 0.5 (PrCeYLaNd) 0.1 MoO4.

[0070] Example 2
[0071] The analytical purity raw materials Na2CO3, Bi2O3, Pr2O3, La2O3, Nd2O3, Sm2O3 and MoO3 are prepared in a molar ratio of 5:1:1:1:1:1:20, and the weighed Bi2O3, Pr2O3, La2O3, Nd2O3, Sm2O3 are placed in a muffle furnace and kept at 780°C for 4h. Then the prepared raw materials, zirconium balls and anhydrous ethanol are ball milled at a mass ratio of 1:2:1 to fully mix, the ball milling speed is 200-300r / min, and the time is 4h, to obtain the first ball milling powder. The first ball milling powder is placed in a general oven and dried at 100°C for 24h, then the dried powder is placed in a crucible and sintered at 650 oC for 4 hours to obtain the pre-fired ceramic powder. After the pre-fired ceramic is manually ground, it is put into the ball mill again for secondary ball milling. The secondary ball milling speed is 200~300r / min and the time is 4h to obtain the secondary ball milling powder. The secondary ball milling powder is dried at 100°C for 24h, and then 5% by weight of anhydrous ethanol is added to the dried powder to moisten it. After moistening, it is first pressed into a cylindrical ceramic block with a diameter of 10mm and a height of 5mm under a pressure of 100MPa using a manual press, and then pressed tightly at a pressure of 300MPa in an isostatic press. The tightly pressed ceramic is first pressed at 120 o C for 2h to remove the anhydrous ethanol, then select 560~1000℃ o C. 600 o C. 640 o C. 680 o C. 720 o C. 800 o C. 880 o C. 1000 o C at these temperature points are kept in air for 6 hours for sintering, and the environmentally friendly low-temperature sintered high-entropy microwave dielectric ceramic material Na 0.5 (BiLaPrNdSm) 0.1 MoO4.
[0072] Furthermore, the Na 0.5 (BiLaPrNdSm) 0.1 Density, relative density and dielectric properties of MoO4 ceramics. A network analyzer (4990A Agilent) and a temperature chamber (DELTA 9023, Delta Design) were used to analyze the MoO4 ceramics using the closed cavity resonance method (TE). 01δ Mode Test Na 0.5 (BiLaPrNdSm) 0.1 Microwave dielectric properties of MoO4 ceramic samples.
[0073] See Figures 2a-2d , Figures 2a-2d The sintering temperature provided by the embodiment of the present invention has an effect on Na 0.5 (BiLaPrNdSm) 0.1 Schematic diagram of the influence of density and microwave dielectric properties of MoO4 high entropy ceramics, Figure 2a Represents density and relative density maps, Figure 2b Represents the dielectric constant Atlas, Figure 2c Indicates quality factor Qf Atlas, Figure 2d Represents the resonant frequency temperature coefficient TCF spectrum. Figures 2a-2dIt can be seen that the relative density, dielectric constant and Qf values all increase first and then decrease with the increase of sintering temperature, while the TCF value fluctuates less than 5 ppm / ℃ in the whole sintering temperature range of 560℃ to 1000℃. Na 0.5 (BiLaPrNdSm) 0.1 MoO4ceramics are sintered densely at an ultra-low sintering temperature of 600℃ and maintain a very high density in the sintering temperature range of 640~880℃, with a density greater than 97%. Among them, when sintered at 640 o C, Na 0.5 (BiLaPrNdSm) 0.1 MoO4ceramics have the best microwave dielectric properties: a dielectric constant of 16 (@ 8.5 GHz), a quality factor Q of 3900, Qf of 33000 GHz, and a resonance frequency temperature coefficient TCF of -38 pm / o C (25~85 o C).
[0074] Further, Na o (BiLaPrNdSm) 0.5 MoO4sintered densely at 640 0.1 C is co-sintered with metal powder for 30 min, and the XRD after co-sintering is tested. See Figure 3 , Figure 3 Na 0.5 (BiLaPrNdSm) 0.1 MoO4ceramics and commonly used metal electrode materials are co-sintered at 640℃ for 30 min, and the XRD pattern is obtained. From Figure 3 it can be seen that in the XRD pattern of the sample co-sintered with 20% silver powder and aluminum powder by weight, only the diffraction peaks of Na 0.5 (BiLaPrNdSm) 0.1 MoO4and metal are detected, which means that the ceramic does not chemically react with Ag or Al at the sintering temperature.

The prepared raw materials, zirconium balls and anhydrous ethanol were then ball milled once in a mass ratio of 1:2:1 to fully mix them. The ball milling speed was 200-300r / min for 4 hours to obtain a primary ball milled powder. The primary ball milled powder was placed in a conventional oven and dried at 100°C for 24 hours. The dried powder was then placed in a crucible and heated at 650 o C for 4 hours to obtain the pre-fired ceramic powder. After the pre-fired ceramic is manually ground, it is put into the ball mill again for secondary ball milling. The secondary ball milling speed is 200~300r / min and the time is 4h to obtain the secondary ball milling powder. The secondary ball milling powder is dried at 100°C for 24h, and then 5% by weight of anhydrous ethanol is added to the dried powder to moisten it.
