Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of varistors, and specifically to a nano-material varistor and a preparation method thereof. Background Art

[0002] Metal oxide surge arresters are important electrical appliances for overvoltage protection of power transmission and transformation equipment. Metal oxide surge arresters based on ZnO varistors have the advantages of fast response speed, flat volt-ampere characteristics, large current-carrying capacity, and low residual voltage, and are widely used in transient overvoltage protection, contact arc extinguishing, and voltage stabilization of AC / DC power systems at various voltage levels to achieve the protection of power transmission and transformation equipment against lightning and switching overvoltages. The ZnO varistors mainly used in metal oxide surge arresters are functional ceramic materials mainly composed of ZnO powder doped with various metal oxides, sintered to have advantages such as a high non-linear coefficient and strong transient energy absorption capacity. Under the action of a low electric field, the conductivity of the ZnO varistor is very low and can be considered in an insulating state; while under the action of a high electric field, the conductivity will increase sharply, and the ZnO varistor is in a conducting state, and through parallel connection, the protected equipment can be avoided from being impacted by high voltage division, realizing the effective modulation of the uneven distribution of the space electric field. For high-voltage power systems, their insulation level directly depends on the protection level of the surge arrester, and the performance of the ZnO varistor is the key factor affecting the protection level of the surge arrester. However, at present, the methods such as changing the doping formula and adjusting the sintering process commonly used in conventional preparation have very limited effects on the performance optimization of ZnO varistors, and it is difficult to achieve a substantial improvement and effective regulation of the comprehensive performance. There is an urgent need to achieve a breakthrough in the performance optimization of ZnO varistors through new technical means. Nano-additive oxide powders can increase the powder activity and improve the electrical properties of the finished product. However, due to its excessive surface activity, it is extremely easy to agglomerate, thus affecting the performance of the finished product. In the preparation process of ZnO, the performance of the total slurry will affect the performance of the ZnO varistor. The varistor prepared from the total slurry with good dispersibility has fewer defects, a uniform microstructure, and good electrical properties. Appropriate dosages of dispersants and pH values can enable the dispersants to be saturatedly adsorbed and evenly distributed on the surface of the powder, thereby improving the surface properties of the powder. The commonly used ammonium polyacrylate dispersant is an anionic dispersant. Studies have shown that the ammonium polyacrylate dispersant has the best electrostatic repulsion and dispersion effects at a pH value of 9-10. When the pH is 6, the viscosity of the total slurry is very large and loses fluidity, and it cannot be used to prepare non-linear resistors. When the pH value > 10, the possibility of agglomeration between ammonium polyacrylates increases, and at this time, only a small amount of dispersant is adsorbed on the particle surface, which will also affect the dispersion effect. The pH value of conventional zinc oxide slurries is generally about 8.6, and sometimes it is necessary to manually correct the pH value, which increases the uncontrollable factors in industrial production and brings inconvenience to industrial production. Summary of the Invention

[0072] Performance Test

[0073] 1. Total slurry viscosity: Measured using a Shanghai Changji NDJ-8S type rotational viscometer;

[0074] 2. Pinhole ratio: After polishing the varistor, it is tested with an OLYMPUS microscope (BX53M, OLYMPUS, Japan), and the pinhole ratio is calculated using the Olympus analysis software;

[0075] 3. Potential gradient of ZnO varistor: E 1mA = U 1mA / h, where: E 1mA is the potential gradient, V / mm; U 1mA is the voltage value of the varistor under a DC current of 1.0 mA, kV; h is the height of the varistor chip, mm.

[0080] It can be seen from the performance tests of the examples and comparative examples that appropriate dispersants and appropriate dosages can make the total slurry mix more evenly, further improve the uniformity of the microstructure of the varistor chip, and enhance the comprehensive electrical properties. This is because when the total slurry is unstable, the additives are prone to stratification, resulting in uneven distribution of additive oxides and a decline in electrical properties.

[0081] It can be seen from Examples 1, 3 to 5 that when the dosage of the dispersant is small, the viscosity of the total slurry is high, and the slurry is prone to instability. When the dosage of the dispersant is too large, there is too much organic polymer dispersant in the total slurry, resulting in too many pores on the resistor chip after the debinding process, an increase in the pinhole ratio, and a decline in electrical properties.

[0082] It can be seen from Example 1 and Comparative Examples 1-3 that when monomers 2-4 are respectively lacking in the dispersant, the dispersion effect will decline. This is because the dispersant provided by the present invention has a comb-shaped polymer structure, wherein monomer 1 and monomer 3 are anchored on the surface of metal oxide particles through electrostatic adsorption or hydrogen bonding, and monomer 2 and monomer 3 ensure the dispersion effect through long chains and steric non-ionizing steric hindrance. When any one monomer is lacking, the dispersion effect will decline to some extent, and when the steric hindrance structures of monomers 2 and 4 are lacking, the dispersion effect declines more significantly.
