Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the field of high-temperature superconducting materials, and specifically relates to a gadolinium ytterbium barium copper oxide superconducting film and a preparation method and application thereof. Background Art

[0002] Rare earth barium copper oxide (ReBCO) is a key factor in the current carrying of the second generation of high-temperature superconductors. Improving the preparation of coated conductors with excellent superconducting properties not only depends on the improvement of the metal organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) process, but also on the strict control of the quality of raw materials. At present, when using the MOCVD process to prepare ReBCO superconducting tapes at home and abroad, the chemical sources are mainly Ba(THD)2, Y(THD)3, Cu(THD)3, Zr(THD)4 and other chemical sources (THD is tetramethylheptanone). Among them, the addition of Zr(THD)4 can generate BaZrO3 nanocolumns in the ReBCO ceramic layer. This design aims to significantly improve the current carrying capacity and antimagnetic properties of superconducting tapes in low temperature and strong magnetic field environments through the magnetic flux pinning effect.

[0003] However, the practical application of Zr(THD)4 faces two major technical bottlenecks: first, its addition amount in the formula is extremely low (usually at the ppm level), and the process control accuracy requirements are extremely high, making it difficult to control the addition amount; second, the thermal decomposition characteristics of the precursor cause it to have a high weight loss peak in the temperature range of 310-350°C, resulting in a slow evaporation rate and poor stability. These problems directly affect the uniformity of film deposition - in the MOCVD process, the inconsistency of the volatilization of Zr(THD)4 can easily cause the appearance of non-uniform phases on the surface of the ReBCO film (such as impurity precipitation, microscopic holes, and lattice orientation deviations). These microstructural defects will significantly reduce the current transmission efficiency in the superconducting layer, making it difficult for the test data of the final product to meet the stringent requirements of high-end application scenarios such as nuclear magnetic resonance and controlled nuclear fusion. Summary of the invention

[0004] Therefore, the technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to overcome the defects of existing superconducting films, such as impurities, rough holes, poor electrical and magnetic field properties, and high cost, thereby providing a gadolinium ytterbium barium copper oxide superconducting film and its preparation method and application.

[0005] To this end, the present invention provides the following technical solutions:

[0006] The first aspect of the present invention provides a method for preparing a gadolinium ytterbium barium copper oxide superconducting film, wherein the preparation method comprises the following steps:

[0007] S1, preparing a solution containing 2-thenoyltrifluoroacetone;

[0008] S2, adding gadolinium oxide and ytterbium oxide to react with nitric acid to obtain a mixed solution containing gadolinium nitrate and ytterbium nitrate, mixing the solution obtained in S1 with the mixed solution, adding seed crystals to react, standing, separating and drying to obtain a gadolinium-ytterbium coordination complex;

[0009] S3, mixing the gadolinium-ytterbium coordination complex obtained in S2, a barium source, a copper source and a solvent, and growing a gadolinium-ytterbium-barium-copper-oxygen superconducting film on the surface of the substrate by an organic metal chemical vapor deposition method using oxygen as an oxygen source;

[0010] Wherein, the molar ratio of gadolinium nitrate to ytterbium nitrate is (0.7-0.78):(0.22-0.3).

After mixing, the obtained product is filtered, and the filtrate is collected to obtain a chemical source. Under the conditions of 750-860°C and 99.999% oxygen, the filtrate is vaporized and reacted with oxygen with a purity range of 99.995%-99.999% to generate metal oxides, and then a gadolinium ytterbium barium copper oxide superconducting film is generated on the surface of a substrate (such as a lanthanum manganate substrate).

[0012] In the present invention, 2-thenoyltrifluoroacetone is a binuclear ligand compound, and the molar ratio of the sum of the metal elements of the gadolinium element in the gadolinium nitrate and the ytterbium element in the ytterbium nitrate to 2-thenoyltrifluoroacetone is always 1:3; during the metal organic chemical vapor deposition process, 2-thenoyltrifluoroacetone will decompose under high temperature environment.

[0013] In the present invention, gadolinium oxide and ytterbium oxide react with nitric acid to obtain a mixed solution containing gadolinium nitrate and ytterbium nitrate. This is a conventional reaction in the art. Typically, but not limitingly, 1-10 mol of gadolinium oxide and 30 wt% nitric acid are reacted at a molar ratio of gadolinium oxide to nitric acid of 1:6 at 25°C for 1-2 hours to obtain solution A; 1-10 mol of ytterbium oxide and 30 wt% nitric acid are reacted at a molar ratio of ytterbium oxide to nitric acid of 1:6 at 25°C for 1-2 hours to obtain solution B; solutions A and B are mixed to obtain a mixed solution containing gadolinium nitrate and ytterbium nitrate; gadolinium oxide and ytterbium oxide can also be added to nitric acid at the same time.

[0014] According to the present invention, in S1, the specific steps of preparing include: dissolving 2-thenoyltrifluoroacetone in a first solvent, adding a sodium hydroxide solution, and obtaining a solution containing 2-thenoyltrifluoroacetone.

[0016] In the present invention, the sodium hydroxide solution reacts with the methanol in the first solvent to generate sodium methoxide, and the sodium methoxide is a catalyst in the reaction of gadolinium nitrate, ytterbium nitrate and TTA.

[0017] Taking ytterbium nitrate as an example, the specific reaction formula is: (1) NaOH+CH3OH+H2O→NaOCH3+2H2O; (2) In the case of NaOCH3 as a catalyst, Yb(NO3)3+3TTA→Yb(TTA)3+3HNO3; Gadolinium nitrate reacts according to the same mechanism. When ytterbium nitrate and gadolinium nitrate are added at the same time, a gadolinium-ytterbium coordination complex is obtained.

[0018] According to the present invention, the concentration of the sodium hydroxide solution is 15-18 mol / L.

[0019] According to the present invention, the volume ratio of the first solvent to the sodium hydroxide solution is 5-8:1.

[0020] According to the present invention, the specific preparation steps of the seed crystals include: at 75-80°C, gadolinium nitrate and 2-thenoyltrifluoroacetone are coordinated to obtain seed crystals, and the molar ratio of gadolinium element to 2-thenoyltrifluoroacetone in gadolinium nitrate is 1:3; the specific reaction solution system is a solution that can dissolve the reactants, typically but not limitingly, a methanol mixed solution, and the volume ratio of methanol, benzene and acetonitrile in the methanol mixed solution is (1000-1200):(5-7):(5-8), the seed crystal preparation reaction is 7-8h to generate Gd(TTA)3 seed crystals, and Gd(TTA)3 seed crystals are used to prepare gadolinium ytterbium coordination complex, gadolinium coordination complex, and ytterbium coordination complex.

[0021] According to the present invention, based on the theoretically calculated mass of the synthesized gadolinium-ytterbium coordination complex, the mass of the seed crystal is 0.1-0.2 wt %.

[0022] In the present invention, because the number of coordination bonds is constant and there is no loss, the structural formula of the final gadolinium-ytterbium coordination complex can be inferred according to the feed ratio. For example, when the molar ratio of gadolinium element to ytterbium element is 0.78:0.22, the structural formula of the final gadolinium-ytterbium coordination complex is inferred to be (Gd 0.78 Yb 0.22 )(TTA)3, the theoretically calculated mass of the synthesized gadolinium-ytterbium coordination complex is (Gd 0.78 Yb 0.22 )(TTA)3 molar amount × (Gd 0.78 Yb 0.22 )(TTA)3 molecular weight.

[0023] According to the present invention, the reaction time is 3-6h.

[0024] According to the present invention, the standing time is 8-10h。

[0025] In the present invention, the timing starts after the white crystal precipitation appears, and the crystals are continuously generated and grow during the static process.

[0026] According to the present invention, the gadolinium ytterbium coordination complex is further subjected to a recrystallization treatment, comprising the following steps: dissolving the gadolinium ytterbium coordination complex in a second solvent and placing the complex for 10-12 hours, filtering, and heating under reduced pressure to obtain a recrystallized gadolinium ytterbium coordination complex; wherein the second solvent is a conventional recrystallization solvent, typically but not limitingly, the second solvent is anhydrous ether or anhydrous ethanol, and the specific amount is selected according to actual conditions.

[0028] According to the present invention, the barium source is Ba(TTA)3(Phen)3.

[0029] In the present invention, TTA is 2-thenoyltrifluoroacetone, and Phen is phenyl. The use of the two ligands together makes the barium source more stable.

[0030] According to the present invention, the copper source is Cu(TTA)2.

[0031] According to the present invention, the solvent is tetrahydrofuran.

[0032] According to the present invention, the content of the solute in the solvent is 40-45 wt %.

[0033] In the present invention, the solute is the sum of all chemical substances dissolved in the solution, including gadolinium-ytterbium coordination complex, Ba(TTA)3(Phen)3 and Cu(TTA)2.

[0034] According to the present invention, the method further comprises post-processing the Gd-Yb-BcO superconducting film, and the specific steps include: subjecting the prepared Gd-Yb-BcO superconducting film to oxygen absorption annealing at 485-500° C. for 2-3 hours.

[0035] The second aspect of the present invention protects a gadolinium ytterbium barium copper oxide superconducting film prepared by the aforementioned preparation method.

[0036] The third aspect of the present invention protects the use of the aforementioned gadolinium ytterbium barium copper oxide superconducting film in cables, microwave devices, superconducting magnets, and quantum interference devices.

[0037] The technical solution of the present invention has the following advantages:

[0038] 1. The present invention provides a method for preparing a gadolinium ytterbium barium copper oxide superconducting film, wherein the preparation method comprises the following steps: S1, preparing a solution containing 2-thenoyltrifluoroacetone; S2, adding gadolinium oxide and ytterbium oxide to react with nitric acid to obtain a mixed solution containing gadolinium nitrate and ytterbium nitrate, mixing the solution obtained in S1 with the mixed solution, adding seed crystals to react, standing, separating and drying to obtain a gadolinium ytterbium coordination complex; S3, mixing the gadolinium ytterbium coordination complex obtained in S2, a barium source, a copper source and a solvent, using oxygen as an oxygen source, and growing a gadolinium ytterbium barium copper oxide superconducting film on the surface of a substrate by an organic metal chemical vapor deposition method; wherein the molar ratio of the gadolinium nitrate to the ytterbium nitrate is (0.7-0.78):(0.22-0.3). The present invention successfully constructs a double rare earth complex system with high volatility and thermal stability by optimizing the molar ratio of gadolinium nitrate to ytterbium nitrate and introducing 2-thenoyltrifluoroacetone (TTA) as a ligand. This design gives full play to the synergistic effect of gadolinium and ytterbium elements: the smaller ionic radius of ytterbium ions forms a nanocolumnar structure in the film, effectively constructing a pinning center; and the selection of TTA ligands not only significantly reduces the cost of raw materials (TTA is only 1,200 yuan / kg on the market, and THD is 2,450 yuan / kg), but also improves the thermal stability of metal organic complexes. In the preparation process, the seed-induced crystallization technology is used to greatly shorten the crystallization time and reduce production costs. At the same time, the MOCVD process is used to realize the continuous and stable gasification and transportation of organic liquid sources of Ba, Cu, Yb, and Gd metals. The pre-oxidation treatment ensures that the reaction process is controllable and has good stability. Through the composite coordination of rare earth elements, low-cost ligand substitution, and process synergistic optimization, a dual breakthrough in performance improvement and production cost control is achieved;

[0039] 2. The specific amount of seed crystals used in the present invention fully exerts the core function of inducing crystallization, and can minimize the consumption of raw materials, further reducing production costs;

[0040] 3. The present invention performs recrystallization to further improve the purity of the product, thereby improving the superconducting properties of the obtained film. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0047] The following examples are provided for a better understanding of the present invention, but are not intended to limit the best mode of implementation, nor to limit the content and protection scope of the present invention. Any product identical or similar to the present invention obtained by anyone under the inspiration of the present invention or by combining the features of the present invention with other prior arts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0048] If no specific experimental steps or conditions are specified in the examples, the conventional experimental steps or conditions described in the literature in the field can be used. If no manufacturer is specified for the reagents or instruments used, they are all conventional reagent products that can be obtained commercially.

[0049] The thermogravimetric test was performed using a TGA thermogravimetric analyzer. The specific test method was as follows: starting from 25°C in a nitrogen environment, the temperature was raised to 550°C at 5°C / min; the change in sample mass was recorded.

[0050] The electrical performance test uses a four-probe tester. The specific test method is: four wires are led out from the surface of the sample, one group of wires receives a voltmeter, and the other group of wires receives a program-controlled DC source. The sample is immersed in liquid nitrogen to put it in a superconducting state. Under the control of the program, the DC current source passes a DC current gradually increasing from zero amperes into the sample, and at the same time the nanovoltmeter monitors the voltage on another group of wires. The current and voltage values ​​are recorded. When the sample loses superconductivity, the corresponding current value is the critical current value of the sample. Because 4mm wide samples can only be tested by instruments under 30K, 3T conditions, the value obtained by dividing the current of a 12mm wide sample at 77K, 0T by 3 is approximately the current value of a 4mm wide sample at 77K, 0T;

[0051] The lifting factor refers to the ratio of the critical current value of samples of the same size, for example, samples of 4 mm width, tested at 30K, 3T divided by the critical current value tested at 77K, 0T.

[0052] The magnetic field performance is characterized by the magnitude of the critical current of the sample tested at 30K and 3T.

[0053] The preparation method of the seed crystal is as follows: at 75° C., according to the molar ratio of gadolinium element in gadolinium nitrate to 2-thenoyltrifluoroacetone being 1:3, gadolinium nitrate and 2-thenoyltrifluoroacetone are added, and reacted in 1000 mL of methanol aqueous solution, 5 mL of benzene and 6 mL of acetonitrile for 7 hours to generate Gd(TTA)3.

[0054] Ba(TTA)3(Phen)3 and Cu(TTA)2 were purchased from Songshan Lake Materials Laboratory.
