Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of ceramic production, and particularly relates to a ZnO voltage-sensitive ceramic with an ultrahigh voltage gradient and a nonlinear coefficient and a preparation method. BACKGROUND
[0002] Pure ZnO ceramic does not have nonlinear characteristics, and needs to be doped with a proper amount of a voltage-sensitive forming agent (mainly Bi2O3, Pr6O 11 and V2O5) and a voltage-sensitive enhancer (mainly Co2O3, Mn2O3, SnO2, Cr2O3, and other oxides) to exhibit excellent nonlinear electrical characteristics in a macroscopic manner. Therefore, ZnO voltage-sensitive ceramic, with its high nonlinear coefficient, excellent energy resistance, and low raw material cost, has become an ideal choice for limiting overvoltage in power systems. They are widely used in AC and DC lines and power equipment to effectively suppress transient voltage and absorb surges, and at the same time, protect sensitive electronic equipment from voltage fluctuations or mutations.
[0003] It is reported that Toshiba in Japan has successfully commercialized a high-voltage gradient ZnO ceramic resistor sheet with a voltage gradient as high as 1000 V / mm, and its leakage current is as low as 3 mu A or less. The application of this resistor sheet in a 500 kV gas insulated switchgear (GIS) arrester shows significant advantages. Compared with the traditional arrester of the same type with a voltage gradient of 600 V / mm, the arrester using this high-voltage gradient ZnO resistor sheet has a volume reduction of 55%, and the manufacturing cost is reduced by more than 30%. This technological progress not only improves the performance of the arrester, but also significantly reduces the production cost, making the high-voltage arrester more economical in large-scale applications. In contrast, the existing domestic mass-produced ZnO resistor sheet has a voltage gradient of less than 400 V / mm, a nonlinear coefficient of less than 60, and a leakage current of less than 20 mu A. Although these resistor sheets can meet the basic needs of domestic ultra-high voltage AC and DC arresters, there is still a significant gap in technology compared with international advanced levels. This not only affects the performance of the arrester, but also limits its promotion and use in high-end application fields.
[0004] Exploring new processes and material systems to reduce the environmental impact of production and promote the development of arresters in safety, performance, volume miniaturization, and green manufacturing. Improving the performance of ZnO voltage-sensitive resistors and optimizing their preparation process is crucial, which not only improves the performance of the arrester, but also promotes green manufacturing and reduces environmental pollution. SUMMARY
[0005] In view of the above problems existing in the prior art, the purpose of the present application is to develop a ZnO voltage-sensitive ceramic doped with dysprosium acetate solution with an ultrahigh voltage gradient and a nonlinear coefficient.
[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a ZnO varistor ceramic doped by dysprosium acetate solution method, characterized in that the compositional expression of the ZnO varistor ceramic is as follows:
[0007] (100-x)mol%ZnO+1.0mol%Bi2O3+0.5mol%Co3O4+0.5mol%MnO2+0.5mol%Cr2O3+1.0mol%SnO2
[0008] +0.45 mol% CaO + x mol% Dy(C2H3O2)3·4H2O, where 0.01 ≤ x ≤ 0.9. The Dy(C2H3O2)3·4H2O can be used to improve the high voltage gradient and nonlinear coefficient of the varistor ceramic, and also as a sintering aid to assist the densification process. The voltage gradient E of the high voltage gradient and nonlinear coefficient ZnO varistor ceramic is... b The leakage current density ranges from 1364 to 5431 V / mm, with the highest nonlinear coefficient α reaching 142.16, and the leakage current density I... L The minimum is 0.07 μA / cm 2 The modified additives include: 1.0 mol% Bi2O3, 0.5 mol% Co3O4, 0.5 mol% MnO2, 0.5 mol% Cr2O3, 1.0 mol% SnO2, 0.45 mol% CaO and (0.01-0.9) mol% Dy(C2H3O2)3·4H2O.
[0009] A method for preparing ZnO-doped varistors using a dysprosium acetate solution method includes the following steps:
[0010] S1: Weigh out the original powders of ZnO, Bi2O3, Co3O4, MnO2, Cr2O3, SnO2, and CaO according to the stoichiometric ratio specified above, and place them in a ball mill jar. Use anhydrous ethanol zirconium balls as the medium for ball milling to thoroughly mix the powders. Remove the mixed powder, dry it, and sieve it through a 60-mesh sieve for later use. Ball mill at 380 r / min for 12 hours, and then dry it in an oven at 80℃ for at least 12 hours.
[0011] S2: Weigh out the original Dy(C2H3O2)3·4H2O powder according to the aforementioned stoichiometric ratio, and dissolve it in a polar aqueous solution to obtain a mixed solution for later use; the Dy element is doped into the varistor through the polar aqueous solution, which here serves to dissolve Dy(C2H3O2)3·4H2O. 2)3 The role of 4H2O is to ensure the uniform distribution of Dy elements within the ZnO matrix. The Dy(C2H3O) 2)3 ·4H2O can be used as a sintering aid to assist the densification process.
[0012] S3: The mixed powder in S1 and the mixed solution in S2 are mixed evenly by a mortar, the added amount of the mixed solution is 10-40wt% of the mixed powder, the mixed powder is fully wetted, then the mixed powder is put into a mold and is pressed under a pressure of 200-500MPa, and is heated to 200-400℃ for 30min-2h to obtain a preliminarily densified ZnO varistor ceramic embryo.
[0013] S4: The ZnO varistor ceramic embryo in S3 is put into a muffle furnace and is sintered at a sintering temperature of 700-1000℃ for 1-5h to further densify the ZnO varistor ceramic embryo to obtain a ZnO varistor ceramic product. The sintering temperature of the varistor resistor in S4 is only 700-1000℃, which is much lower than the sintering temperature of the commercial method.
[0014] Further, the mass ratio of the powder, the zirconium ball and the ball milling liquid medium in S1 is 1:10:1.5, wherein the mass ratio of the zirconium ball with a diameter of 1cm, a diameter of 0.5cm and a diameter of 0.2cm is 2:1:1, and the rotation speed of the high-energy ball mill is 380r / min.
[0015] Further, the particle size of the ZnO raw powder in S1 is about 500nm, and the particle sizes of the Bi2O3, Co3O4, MnO2, Cr2O3, SnO2 and CaO raw powders are about 100nm, about 200nm, 100-300nm, about 200nm, <250nm and <160nm, respectively.
[0016] Further, the relative density of the ZnO varistor ceramic embryo in S3 is 88%-94%.
[0017] Further, the heating rate of the sintering in S4 is 0.5-2℃ / min. Since the raw embryo prepared in S3 has a high initial density and a large internal stress, a high heating rate is easy to cause the sample to crack, so the heating rate in S4 is selected to be less than or equal to 2℃ / min, which is helpful for the slow release of the internal stress of the sample in the process of further densification.
[0018] Compared with the prior art, the present application has the following beneficial effects:
[0019] 1. Compared with the traditional sintering method, the present application innovates the sintering process by adding Dy(C2H3O2)3·4H2O sintering aid, so that the ZnO varistor ceramic is preliminarily densified at a pressure of 300MPa and a temperature of 300℃, and is further densified at a sintering temperature of 700-1000℃. During the preliminary densification, the low sintering temperature of the water molecules and part of the acetate ions in Dy(C2H3O2)3·4H2O controls the varistor ceramic grain in the micronanometer range, which is helpful for improving the voltage gradient of the varistor ceramic.
[0020] 2. In the application, Dy(C2H3O2)3·4H2O is used as an auxiliary sintering agent to promote preliminary densification. In the heating process, Dy(C2H3O2)3·4H2O first loses crystal water between 100-200℃, promoting the mass transfer in the sintering process, and then the acetate ion is decomposed into water and carbon dioxide above 200℃, further promoting plastic deformation in the sintering process.
[0021] 3. In the application, Dy(C2H3O2)3·4H2O is not only a sintering aid, but also a performance improver. By doping Dy(C2H3O2)3·4H2O, the application finally prepares ZnO pressure-sensitive ceramic material with excellent pressure-sensitive properties. With the increase of the doping amount of Dy(C2H3O2)3·4H2O, the potential gradient shows a trend of continuous increase, and the nonlinear coefficient shows a trend of first increasing and then decreasing. When the doping amount of Dy(C2H3O2)3·4H2O is 0.5mol%, the performance is best, the voltage gradient is E b 2564.37V / mm, the nonlinear coefficient a is highest as 142.16, and the leakage current density I L is minimum as 0.07μA / cm 2 . In addition, the preparation method of the application has the advantages of simple process, small energy consumption, green environmental protection, etc., and has practicality and application prospect.
[0022] 4. The addition of Dy element can effectively improve the performance of ZnO varistor ceramics. ZnO varistor ceramics are widely used in circuit protection, overvoltage protection and other fields, and their performance is affected by factors such as material composition and microstructure. The incorporation of Dy element can significantly affect the electrical properties, structural stability and varistor effect of ZnO. The specific improvement mechanism can be analyzed from the following aspects: ① Improve the crystal structure of ZnO: Dy element, as a rare earth element, has a larger ionic radius, which can effectively improve the lattice defects of ZnO and promote the uniform growth of crystal grains, thereby improving the crystal quality of ZnO. The incorporation of Dy element helps to reduce oxygen vacancies and defects in ZnO, enhancing the structural stability of the material. Dy element may replace Zn ions into the ZnO lattice to form a solid solution, thereby changing the microstructure of ZnO and further improving the electrical conductivity and varistor properties of the material. ② Adjust the electronic structure and energy band structure: The incorporation of Dy can affect the energy band structure of ZnO, especially the adjustment of the energy band gap. The d-orbital electrons of Dy interact with the conduction band of ZnO, which may lead to changes in the mobility of ZnO conduction band electrons, thereby optimizing the electrical properties of the material. This can improve the response speed and sensitivity of ZnO varistor ceramics to some extent. By adjusting the energy band structure, Dy element can improve the electronic conductivity of ZnO, especially at low voltage or high voltage difference, effectively reducing the switching voltage of ZnO varistor ceramics and enhancing its stability. ③ Improve the interface state and electrical conductivity: Dy element can change the interface state between ZnO particles, enhance the connection between particles, optimize the electron flow path, reduce electron scattering, and improve electrical conductivity. The incorporation of Dy element helps to form electron states that are conducive to electrical conductivity, which greatly improves the electrical properties of ZnO varistor ceramics, such as the nonlinear index and varistor coefficient. ④ Enhance the varistor effect of the material: In ZnO-based varistor ceramic materials, the varistor effect is determined by the relationship between the electrical conductivity of the material and the applied voltage. After the incorporation of Dy element, the nonlinear electrical conductivity and nonlinear coefficient of ZnO are usually improved, making the varistor effect of the material more pronounced. The addition of Dy element can increase the energy band gap of ZnO, reduce the excitation energy of current at high voltage, and thus enhance the varistor property of ZnO, providing stronger voltage response capability.

[0092]
[0093] From the above experimental results in the present application, we can find the following experimental rules:
[0094] 1. The doping of Dy element in the present application has a great influence on the key performance parameters of ZnO varistor ceramic. When the doping content is low, it can optimize the crystal structure of ZnO, improve the electrical conductivity and enhance the varistor characteristics; when the doping content is too high, it will lead to the increase of crystal defects, the enhancement of electron scattering and the weakening of varistor characteristics.
[0095] 2. The suitable sintering temperature in the present application is also very important. When the sintering temperature is too low, although the ultra-high potential gradient can be obtained, the low nonlinear coefficient and high leakage current density cannot meet the commercialization demand. This may be due to the insufficient grain growth at low sintering temperature, the insufficient diffusion effect between particles, the ineffective combination of crystal grains, the possible voids or pores in the formed ceramic body, and the influence on the density of the material; when the sintering temperature is too high, the varistor characteristics of the varistor ceramic decrease. The main reasons are the excessive sintering of particles, the grain growth, the oxidation or chemical reaction, the melting or degradation of the material, the porosity and density problems, the thermal stress, etc. In order to ensure the good performance of the varistor ceramic, sintering needs to be carried out at a suitable sintering temperature and environment to maintain its electrical characteristics to meet the requirements.
