Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of nuclear energy materials, and particularly to a high-entropy structure tritium breeder ceramic and a preparation method thereof. Background Art
[0002] With the rapid development of human society and economy, the demand for energy is becoming increasingly urgent. Nuclear fusion energy is considered an ideal clean energy due to its safety, cleanliness, and high efficiency, and has received much attention in recent years. The development of nuclear fusion energy is of great significance to the sustainable development of human society. Tritium, as one of the main fuels of nuclear fusion energy, is scarce in nature and needs to be produced by bombarding tritium breeders (lithium-containing substances) with high-energy neutrons. Tritium breeders are the key to achieving "tritium self-sufficiency" in the tritium breeding blanket of a nuclear fusion reactor.
[0003] Lithium titanate (Li2TiO3) has low activation, excellent chemical stability, and good low-temperature tritium release performance, and is considered one of the most promising solid tritium breeding materials. However, the lithium density of Li2TiO3 is lower than that of lithium metasilicate, which seriously affects its tritium production capacity. A lithium-rich design can increase the lithium density of the tritium breeder, thereby improving the tritium breeding efficiency. Some researchers have successfully prepared lithium-rich Li4SiO4-0.3Li2O composite ceramics by sol-gel combined with the wet method; in addition, lithium-rich Li2TiO3-Li4SiO4 composite ceramics have been prepared by the metal organic solution method at 900 °C; other researchers have obtained lithium-rich Li 2+x TiO 3+y ceramics by calcining with the alkoxide method in an atmosphere of 5% H2-He at 1073K. Although the lithium-rich design can increase the lithium density of the tritium breeder, the lithium loss is serious under long-term high-temperature working conditions, which will still lead to a decrease in the tritium breeding efficiency. At the same time, the lost lithium diffuses from the tritium breeding blanket to the pipeline, blocking and corroding the pipeline, thereby affecting the normal operation of the reactor. Therefore, although the lithium-rich design can increase the lithium density of the tritium breeder, no solution has been given for the essence of lithium volatilization. Research shows that the main reason for lithium loss is that the residual Li2O and Li2CO3 in Li2TiO3 react to form a high-vapor-pressure product LiOH under high-temperature steam conditions, and LiOH will promote the mass transfer process of lithium in a high-temperature environment, accelerating lithium loss. Therefore, it is crucial to inhibit the lithium loss of tritium breeder ceramics under high-temperature working conditions. In nuclear fusion reactors, in order to inhibit the lithium loss of tritium breeders, existing technologies use means such as material modification (such as nanostructure design and composite material preparation), surface treatment (loading catalytically active elements), optimizing the preparation process (such as the sol-gel method), improving irradiation behavior research, and developing new fluid tritium breeders to improve the stability of lithium and the tritium release efficiency, but these methods still face problems such as complex preparation processes, high costs, and poor compatibility with the actual application environment.
[0004] To solve the above technical problems, a high-entropy structured tritium breeder ceramic and a preparation method thereof are urgently needed. Summary of the Invention
[0005] Aiming at the deficiencies of the above-mentioned existing technologies, the present invention aims to provide a high-entropy structured tritium breeder ceramic and a preparation method thereof, and obtain a high-entropy structured tritium breeder ceramic Li2(HE)O3 with good high-temperature lithium stability. By introducing high-entropy components at the B site of Li2TiO3, the diffusion of lithium at the A site is reduced, the generation of LiOH under high-temperature conditions is hindered, and lithium loss is inhibited.
[0006] To achieve the above purpose, the present invention is implemented according to the following technical solutions:
[0007] A high-entropy structured tritium breeder ceramic, the chemical formula of the high-entropy structured tritium breeder ceramic is Li2(Zr 0.2 Ti 0.2 Hf 0.2 Nb 0.2 Ta 0.2 )O3.
[0008] Specifically, the high-entropy structured tritium breeder ceramic Li2(Zr 0.2 Ti 0.2 Hf 0.2 Nb 0.2 Ta 0.2 )O3 is simply referred to as the high-entropy structured tritium breeder ceramic Li2(HE)O3.
[0009] The present invention also includes a preparation method of a high-entropy structured tritium breeder ceramic, including the following steps:

After the insulation ends, the temperature is lowered to 500 °C at a rate of 5 °C / min, and then it is cooled with the furnace.

[0029] Principle of action:
[0030] The present invention creatively applies the high-entropy structure to the tritium breeder ceramic to obtain the high-entropy structure tritium breeder ceramic Li2(HE)O3 of the present invention.
[0031] High-entropy ceramics are single-phase solid solution materials formed by the random distribution of five or more cations with equal (near) molar amounts at the same lattice sites. In the high-entropy solid solution, due to the different atomic radii of each high-entropy component, serious lattice distortion is caused inside the material, thus having an important impact on its mechanical, thermal, and electrical properties. Through the diffusion behavior of the Co-Cr-Fe-Mn-Ni high-entropy alloy, it is found that the fluctuation of the lattice potential energy is positively correlated with the number of constituent elements in the matrix. The more serious the lattice distortion, the greater the fluctuation of the lattice potential energy, and the more obvious the atomic traps and atomic potentials are generated, so that the system has a higher activation energy and a more stable component structure. In addition, for the high-entropy A2B2O7 type high-level radioactive waste solidification mechanism, compared with the ternary A2B2O7, the low oxygen vacancy concentration and higher lattice potential energy of the high-entropy A2B2O7 inhibit the migration and diffusion of A-site cations. According to the Arrhenius curve of the conductivity, it can be seen that the diffusion activation energy of the high-entropy oxide is higher and the carrier concentration is smaller, indicating that the diffusion rate of the A-site cations is slower. In the present invention, high-entropy components are introduced at the B-site of Li2TiO3 to reduce the diffusion of lithium at the A-site, hinder the formation of LiOH under high-temperature conditions, and inhibit lithium loss.
[0032] The high-entropy structured tritium breeder ceramic Li2(HE)O3 of the present invention can effectively inhibit lithium loss in a high-temperature working environment. By introducing high-entropy metal elements, the lattice distortion of the material is increased. The more severe the lattice distortion, the greater the lattice potential energy fluctuation, and the more obvious the atomic traps and atomic potentials generated, so that the system has a higher activation energy and a more stable component structure; the high-entropy low oxygen vacancy concentration and higher lattice potential energy inhibit the migration and diffusion of lithium ions; the diffusion activation energy of high-entropy oxides is higher and the carrier concentration is smaller, so the lithium ion diffusion rate is slower.
[0033] The high-entropy structured tritium breeder ceramic Li2(HE)O3 obtained by SPS sintering has small grain size, which is helpful for tritium release. The spark plasma sintering (SPS) technology can realize rapid densification of samples at a lower sintering temperature by using pulsed current. At the same time, applying pressure helps the particles to rearrange and plastically deform, reducing the particle gap and further promoting its densification. The rapid heating of SPS makes the high-temperature residence time of the material extremely short, restricting grain growth; at the same time, the synergistic effect of pulsed current and pressure can reduce the grain boundary energy and inhibit grain boundary migration, thus hindering grain growth, making the grains smaller and the grain boundary specific surface area larger, and the diffusion barrier of tritium at the grain boundary is much lower than that in the grains. Therefore, small grains are helpful for tritium diffusion.
[0034] Beneficial effects:
[0035] The preparation method of the present invention is simple. The obtained high-entropy structured tritium breeder ceramic can effectively inhibit lithium loss in a high-temperature working environment; SPS sintering is used in the preparation process, so that the obtained high-entropy structured tritium breeder ceramic Li2(HE)O3 has small grain size, which is helpful for tritium release; the high-entropy design of the B site increases the lattice complexity, hinders the diffusion of lithium at the A site under high-temperature conditions, effectively avoids the generation of LiOH, and thus inhibits lithium loss. The preparation process is simple, the cost is low, and it is convenient for large-scale production. Description of the drawings

[0130] From Figure 1 the XRD analysis in, it shows that the diffraction peaks of the six groups of samples in Examples 1-6 (Examples 1 to 6 in the figure respectively represent the high-entropy structure tritium breeder ceramics Li2(Ti 0.2 Zr 0.2 Hf 0.2 Nb 0.2 Ta 0.2 )O3) are similar. Its characteristic diffraction peaks are basically consistent with the diffraction peaks of the monoclinic Li2TiO3 (PDF#33-0831) standard XRD spectrum, belonging to the C2 / c(15) space group. The shift of the main diffraction peak towards the small angle direction indicates that the multi-component solid solution in the high-entropy system causes serious lattice distortion.
[0131] From Figure 2 it can be seen that the components (Ti, Zr, Hf, Nb, Ta) of the high-entropy structure tritium breeder ceramic Li2(Ti 0.2 Zr 0.2 Hf 0.2 Nb 0.2 Ta 0.2 )O3 prepared in Example 2 of the present invention are evenly distributed without obvious segregation.

[0135] From Figure 6 (a), it can be seen that during the process of preparing the high-entropy structure tritium breeder ceramic by SPS sintering in Example 2, the densification rate reaches the maximum value when the sintering temperature is near 1200 °C.
[0136] From Figure 6 (b), it can be seen that when the SPS sintering temperature is 1300 °C, the relative density of the high-entropy structure tritium breeder ceramic is the largest. In addition, when the sintering temperatures are 1150 °C (Example 3), 1200 °C (Example 5), 1300 °C (Example 1), and 1400 °C (Example 2) respectively, and the sintering time exceeds 10 min, the samples all obtain the maximum relative density and the densification is basically completed.
