Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of thermistors, and particularly relates to a thermistor with a nanoparticle film and a preparation method thereof. Background Art

[0002] Thermistors are divided into positive temperature coefficient thermistors (PTC thermistors, i.e., Positive Temperature Coefficient thermistors) and negative temperature coefficient thermistors (NTC thermistors, i.e., Negative Temperature Coefficient thermistors) according to different temperature coefficients.

[0003] However, in the related art, after the positive temperature coefficient thermistor undergoes overprotection, its resistance value at room temperature differs greatly from the original value before overprotection, resulting in insufficient stability. Summary of the Invention

[0013] According to any of the foregoing embodiments of the present invention, the conductive nanomaterial includes one or more of nickel nanoparticles, single-walled carbon nanotubes, multi-walled carbon nanotubes, and iron nanoparticles.

[0014] According to any of the foregoing embodiments of the present invention, the thickness of the nanoparticle film is 10 nm - 100 nm.

[0015] According to any of the foregoing embodiments of the present invention, the mass percentage content of the composite thermosensitive material in the thermistor is 10% - 25%.

[0016] According to any of the foregoing embodiments of the present invention, the mass percentage content of the conductive filler in the thermistor is 5% - 10%.

[0017] The second aspect of the present invention provides a method for preparing a thermistor as described in any of the embodiments of the first aspect of the present invention, including:

[0021] The third aspect of the present invention provides a temperature sensor, including a barium titanate-based thermistor as described in any of the embodiments of the first aspect of the present invention provided by the second aspect of the present invention or a barium titanate-based thermistor prepared by the preparation method described in any of the embodiments of the second aspect of the present invention.

[0022] The thermistor with a nanoparticle film provided by the present invention and its preparation method. The thermistor includes a substrate, a conductive filler, and a composite thermosensitive material. The conductive filler is dispersed in the substrate, and the conductive fillers are overlapped with each other to form a conductive network. The composite thermosensitive material is dispersed in the substrate. The composite thermosensitive material includes a thermosensitive ceramic material with a positive temperature coefficient and a nanoparticle film disposed on the surface of the thermosensitive ceramic material. The nanoparticle film includes a shape memory material with a thermal response. The above technical solution sets a nanoparticle film on the surface of the thermosensitive ceramic material, and the nanoparticle film includes a shape memory material with a thermal response, so that the nanoparticle film has a shape memory function. When the thermistor undergoes overprotection, it helps to reduce the volume increase of the thermosensitive ceramic material, and further reduces the probability of the conductive network formed by the conductive filler being disassembled, thereby helping the resistance value of the thermistor to approach the original value before overprotection after overprotection, so as to improve its stability.

[0023] The above description is only an overview of the technical solution of the present invention. In order to be able to understand the technical means of the present invention more clearly, it can be implemented according to the content of the description. And in order to make the above and other objects, features and advantages of the present invention more obvious and understandable, the following specifically illustrates the specific embodiments of the present invention. Specific Embodiments

[0024] Unless otherwise specified, the terms used in the present invention have the well-known meanings commonly understood by those skilled in the art.

[0025] Unless otherwise specified, the numerical values of the various parameters mentioned in the present invention can be measured by various commonly used test methods in the art. For example, they can be measured according to the test methods given in the embodiments of the present invention.

[0026] The temperature of a positive temperature coefficient thermistor will increase rapidly with the increase of an abnormally high current. When the temperature reaches the Curie point, the thermosensitive ceramic material of the positive temperature coefficient thermistor will expand to disassemble the conductive network formed by the internal conductive filler, so that its resistance value increases rapidly to reduce its current to achieve the function of overprotection. After the abnormally high current is eliminated, ideally, it is expected that the thermal expansion of the thermosensitive ceramic material disappears and returns to its original shape, and the conductive network disassembled due to the thermal expansion will be restored again, so that the resistance value of the thermistor returns to the original value before overprotection. However, in actual situations, after the thermosensitive ceramic material in the thermistor undergoes high-temperature expansion, its structure will change, resulting in its volume being much larger than that before overprotection. In this way, part of the conductive network is still in a disassembled state, so the resistance value at room temperature is quite different from the original value before overprotection, resulting in insufficient stability.

[0027] In view of this, the present invention provides a barium titanate-based thermistor with a nanoparticle film and a preparation method thereof. The thermistor can make its resistance value approach the original value before overprotection after overprotection, so as to improve its stability.

[0028] In a first aspect, the present invention provides a thermistor, which includes a matrix, a conductive filler, and a composite thermosensitive material. The conductive filler is dispersed in the matrix, and the conductive fillers are overlapped with each other to form a conductive network; the composite thermosensitive material is dispersed in the matrix, and the composite thermosensitive material includes a thermosensitive ceramic material with a positive temperature coefficient and a nanoparticle film disposed on the surface of the thermosensitive ceramic material. The nanoparticle film includes a shape memory material with a thermal response.

[0029] The thermistor with a nanoparticle film provided by the present invention has a nanoparticle film disposed on the surface of the thermosensitive ceramic material, and the nanoparticle film includes a shape memory material with a thermal response. In this way, the above nanoparticle film can have a shape memory function. When the thermistor undergoes overprotection, it helps to reduce the volume increment of the thermosensitive ceramic material, and further reduces the probability of the conductive network formed by the conductive filler being disassembled. Therefore, it can help the resistance value of the thermistor to approach the original value before overprotection after overprotection, so as to improve its stability.

[0030] In some embodiments of the present invention, the matrix includes a crystalline polymer, such as polyethylene, polypropylene, polyvinyl fluoride, etc.

[0031] In an embodiment of the present invention, the nanoparticle film includes a shape memory material with a thermal response, which can help the shape of the thermosensitive ceramic material to change less after overprotection, that is, the volume increment is smaller. In addition, the nanoparticle film can also include other suitable materials to reduce the resistance value of the thermistor at room temperature to reduce its energy consumption.

[0032] In some embodiments of the present invention, the nanoparticle film further includes a conductive nanomaterial, and the mass ratio of the conductive nanomaterial to the shape memory material is 1:(10 - 20). When the mass ratio of the conductive nanomaterial to the shape memory material is within the above suitable range, it can not only make the thermistor have a lower resistance value at room temperature to reduce its energy consumption, but also further reduce the volume increment of the thermosensitive ceramic material after overprotection, thereby effectively reducing the resistance value change rate of the thermistor.

[0033] Exemplarily, the mass ratio of the conductive nanomaterial to the shape memory material can be but is not limited to 1:10, 1:11, 1:12, 1:13, 1:14, 1:15, 1:16, 1:17, 1:18, 1:19, 1:20, etc.

[0034] In some embodiments of the present invention, the conductive nanomaterial includes one or more of nickel nanoparticles, single-walled carbon nanotubes, multi-walled carbon nanotubes, and iron nanoparticles.

[0035] In the above embodiments, selecting a suitable shape memory material can help the thermosensitive ceramic material to have a lower volume increase after overprotection, so that the recovery rate of the conductive network formed by the conductive filler will also increase, which can further help the resistance value of the thermistor to approach the original value before overprotection after overprotection, thereby further improving the stability of the thermistor.

[0036] In some embodiments of the present invention, the shape memory material includes shape memory ceramics and / or shape memory polymers. The shape memory material includes the above-mentioned suitable materials, which can improve the structural strength of the composite thermosensitive material and reduce the volume increase of the thermosensitive ceramic material, and at the same time, can also help to increase the resistance value of the composite thermosensitive material during overprotection to enhance the overprotection effect.

[0037] Exemplarily, the shape memory material includes shape memory ceramics, and the shape memory ceramics include at least one of zirconia nanoparticles, ceria nanoparticles, and titanium oxide nanoparticles. The above nanoparticles can further enhance the stability of the thermistor while further improving its overprotection effect.

[0038] In some other examples, the shape memory material includes shape memory polymers, and the shape memory polymers include at least one of polyurethane, polycaprolactone, polystyrene, and epoxy resin.

[0039] The nanoparticle film formed by the above materials can improve its structural stability within a suitable thickness range, thereby further helping to reduce the volume increase of the thermistor.

[0040] In some embodiments of the present invention, the thickness of the nanoparticle film is 10nm - 100nm.

[0041] The thickness of the nanoparticle film refers to the distance between the side of the nanoparticle film close to the surface of the thermosensitive ceramic material and the side of the nanoparticle film far from the surface of the thermosensitive ceramic material along the radial direction of the thermosensitive ceramic material. This thickness can be obtained through tests such as SEM, EDS, TEM, and XPS.

[0043] In an embodiment of the present invention, the proportions of the components in the thermistor are within a suitable range, which can help to further improve its over - protection effect and stability, and reduce its energy consumption.

[0044] In some embodiments of the present invention, the mass percentage content of the composite thermosensitive material in the thermistor is 10% - 25%. When the mass percentage content of the thermosensitive ceramic material in the thermistor is within the above - mentioned suitable range, it can further help to improve its over - protection effect.
