Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a controllable preparation technology of a high-index single crystal, in particular to a highly deterministic preparation method of a high-index single crystal metal foil, which is suitable for preparing high-index single crystal foils of metals such as Cu, Au, and Ni. Background Art

[0002] Due to its special surface atomic arrangement and step orientation, high index has a wide range of applications in catalysis, electricity, heat and epitaxial preparation of two-dimensional materials. Compared with low-index crystal planes, high-index crystal plane single crystal foils are thermodynamically unstable. Using surface energy difference as the driving force can only prepare thermodynamically stable low-index single crystals. Therefore, it is necessary to reverse the energy between high-index grains and low-index grains so that the high-index growth is a thermodynamically stable process. Surface oxidation and strain energy assistance can promote the preparation of high-index single crystals to a certain extent, but due to the low degree of energy reversal in the above processes, high-index single crystals can only be prepared with a certain probability, without high certainty. Due to the small driving force, the preparation speed of high-index single crystals is low. In addition, the types of metals applicable are also relatively limited, and some precious metals cannot be prepared into single crystals. Therefore, it is urgent to develop a method for preparing high-index single crystal metal foils with high universality, high certainty, a wide variety of high-index crystal planes and high efficiency. Summary of the invention

[0003] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a simple and universal method for preparing a high-index single crystal metal foil. The method first forms a texture in the metal foil and constructs a positive dislocation energy difference between the texture and the high-index grains, and then heats the texture by a rapid heating method, retaining the internal dislocation energy difference of the metal foil at a high temperature to overcome the resistance of grain growth, so that the high-index grains grow abnormally under the action of thermodynamic driving force to form single crystals. Since the driving force for grain growth is large, it can ensure that the grains grow at a faster rate in the future. In addition, the large driving force ensures the high certainty of high-index growth and is universal for a variety of metal foils.

[0004] The technical solution of the present invention is:

[0005] A highly deterministic preparation method for a high-index single crystal metal foil comprises the following steps: firstly, forming a texture of a low-index crystal plane in the metal foil and constructing a positive dislocation energy difference between the low-index crystal plane and the high-index crystal plane; secondly, heating is performed by a rapid heating method to retain the internal dislocation energy difference of the metal foil at a high temperature to overcome the resistance to grain growth, so that the high-index grains grow abnormally under the action of thermodynamic driving force to form single crystals.

[0006] The high-determinacy preparation method of the high-index single crystal metal foil has a texture comprising one or a combination of two or more of the following: (100) texture, (111) texture, and (110) texture, and the small-angle grain boundaries in the texture are dislocation accumulation areas.

[0007] The highly deterministic preparation method of the high-index single crystal metal foil, the metal foil includes but is not limited to Cu, Au, Ni, Ag, Pt, Pd or Al foil.

[0008] In the highly deterministic preparation method of the high-index single crystal metal foil, the process of introducing dislocation energy difference is to perform a deformation treatment on the metal foil, and the deformation treatment includes but is not limited to: stretching, forging or rolling.

[0009] The highly deterministic preparation method of the high-index single crystal metal foil generally has a heating rate greater than 200°C / min, and the rapid heating method includes but is not limited to one of the following heating methods: (1) rapidly pushing the metal foil from a low temperature environment into a high temperature zone; (2) direct resistance heating; (3) infrared induction heating.

[0010] The highly deterministic preparation method of the high-index single crystal metal foil has a typical preparation process as follows:

[0011] 1) The first stage: cleaning the metal foil to remove organic matter and various impurities on the metal surface;

[0012] 2) The second stage: the metal foil is deformed by 2% to 4%;

[0013] 3) The third stage: the deformed metal foil is placed outside the high temperature zone, and is quickly pushed into the high temperature zone in a protective atmosphere to rapidly heat the metal foil, and then heated for 1 to 5 minutes to obtain a high-index single crystal metal foil with a size of centimeters or above.

[0014] In the high-determinacy preparation method of the high-index single-crystal metal foil, the protective atmosphere is a hydrogen-argon mixed gas, the argon flow rate is 400-600sccm, and the hydrogen flow rate is 60-80sccm.

[0015] The highly deterministic preparation method of the high-index single crystal metal foil can deterministically prepare the single crystal metal foil with high-index crystal planes, and the crystal plane index has diversity.

[0016] In the highly deterministic preparation method of the high-index single crystal metal foil, in step 2), for the copper foil with a small dislocation energy difference inside the metal, pre-annealing is performed before deformation treatment, the pre-annealing temperature is 1000°C, and the pre-annealing time is 1 to 10 minutes to promote the strengthening of the (100) texture inside the metal foil.

[0017] In the high-determinacy preparation method of the high-index single crystal metal foil, in step 3), the temperature range of the high temperature zone is 1000-1020°C.

[0018] The design concept of the present invention is:

[0019] The present invention utilizes the characteristic that dislocations tend to accumulate at low-angle grain boundaries of low-index textures, so that a positive dislocation energy difference is formed between dislocations and growing high-index grains to increase their formation energy, thereby making the high-index crystal planes in the metal foil have relatively higher thermodynamic stability. This process can have the following two advantages: (1) In the rapid heating stage, the overall dislocation distribution inside the metal foil is relatively uniform, but there are local fluctuations in dislocation density. In some fluctuation areas (locations with large dislocation energy differences), abnormal growth of grains occurs. Since the distribution of high-index crystal planes inside the metal foil is much larger than that of low-index crystal planes ((111) and (110)), the high-index crystal planes have a higher probability of abnormal growth. (2) In areas with uniform dislocation density, (100) grains with lower surface energy swallow up surrounding high-index grains with higher surface energy, greatly reducing the number of abnormally grown high-index crystal planes. In the subsequent constant temperature annealing stage, a constant dislocation energy difference is formed between the abnormally grown high-index crystal planes and the low-index (100) crystal planes, promoting the continuous and rapid growth of the high-index crystal planes.

[0020] The advantages and beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0021] 1. The present invention provides a method for preparing a single crystal by heating a polycrystalline metal foil at a high temperature to achieve abnormal growth of high-index crystal planes. The method adopts a simple deformation treatment to increase the dislocation density, or directly heats the metal foil with a suitable dislocation density quickly, thereby achieving abnormal growth of high-index grains with high certainty, fast growth rate and good universality.

[0022] 2. The driving force of the dislocation energy difference of the present invention is much greater than the resistance encountered by grain boundary migration, and can reduce the resistance of the thermal etching groove at the grain boundary to a certain extent, further increasing the net driving force.

[0023] 3. Due to the large net driving force, the present invention can achieve abnormal growth of high-index grains in different types of metal foils by heating at a relatively low temperature, thereby improving the efficiency of preparing high-index single crystals, and achieving 100% certainty of obtaining high-index single crystals at a speed of up to 20 mm / minute.

[0031] In the specific implementation process, the preparation method and characterization process of the high index metal foil of the present invention are as follows ( Figure 3 ): Use metal foil (such as customized copper foil, ordinary commercial copper foil, Ni foil or Au foil, etc.) to perform simple stretching to inject driving force (dislocation energy), and use rapid heating to preserve the internal dislocation energy difference of the metal foil, so that the growth of high-index grains driven by dislocation energy and the growth of low-index grains driven by surface energy difference are synchronized and parallel, consuming most of the high-index grains and promoting the abnormal growth of single high-index grains. And because dislocations tend to accumulate at small-angle grain boundaries of textures such as (100), the enhancement of low-index textures is conducive to the formation of a stable dislocation energy difference between high-index textures with low dislocation energy and low-index textures with high dislocation energy, providing a constant driving force for the continuous and rapid growth of high-index grains.
