Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of rare earth magnetic functional materials, and in particular to a gadolinium boromolybdate magnetic refrigeration material with triangular magnetic frustration, and a preparation method and application thereof. Background Art

[0002] In 1881, the German physicist Emil Warburg discovered the magnetocaloric effect, revealing the phenomenon of temperature change caused by the rearrangement of magnetic moments in magnetic materials in a magnetic field. The principle of the magnetocaloric effect is that when a magnetic material is placed in a magnetic field, the magnetic moments inside it will rearrange, resulting in a change in the temperature of the material. With the progress of science and technology, researchers have found that by precisely controlling the magnetic field and temperature, a new type of refrigeration technology can be developed using this effect. This technology not only has the characteristics of high efficiency and energy saving, but also can achieve a green and environmentally friendly refrigeration solution, reducing the dependence on traditional refrigerants, thereby reducing the impact on the environment. The application potential of magnetic materials in this field is huge, and it can provide sustainable solutions for future refrigeration technologies. Based on this principle, scientists have developed an efficient and energy-saving green refrigeration technology, reducing the dependence on traditional refrigerants. In the field of cryogenic technology, Peter Joseph William Debye and William Giauque proposed the adiabatic demagnetization refrigeration (ADR) theory for paramagnetic salts in 1926. In 1933, Giauque and D.P. MacDougall successfully conducted an experiment and achieved an extremely low temperature of 0.25K for the first time, marking a major breakthrough in this field. In particular, the application of Gd2(SO4)3·8H2O as a cooling medium has further developed and improved the adiabatic demagnetization technology for paramagnetic salts. This technology has not only promoted the frontier research of basic science, but also provided strong support for applications in quantum computing, superconducting materials and other high-tech fields.

[0003] Low-temperature magnetic refrigeration materials and the continuous progress of low-temperature refrigeration technology will open up new paths for future scientific exploration and technological innovation, facilitating humanity's in-depth exploration and discovery in unknown fields. In low-temperature magnetic refrigeration technology, hydrate paramagnetic salts such as FeNH4(SO4)2·12H2O (ammonium iron sulfate, FAA) and KCr(SO4)2·12H2O (potassium chromium sulfate, CPA) are widely used. However, the use of these materials in ultra-high vacuum environments is restricted to some extent, mainly due to the dehydration phenomenon of water molecules and the long preparation cycle, which pose certain challenges in practical applications. Therefore, finding new low-temperature magnetic refrigeration working fluids has become the focus of research. An ideal alternative material should have good chemical structure stability, be able to maintain its physical properties under ultra-high vacuum conditions, and also have a simple preparation method to improve production efficiency and reduce costs. By exploring new hydrate paramagnetic salts or other types of materials, researchers hope to overcome the current technical bottlenecks and promote the further development of low-temperature refrigeration technology. This is not only of great significance for scientific research but also provides more possibilities for practical applications, thus promoting the popularization and application of low-temperature technology in various fields. In short, the development of new low-temperature magnetic refrigeration working fluids is an important direction to improve the performance of ADR technology and will provide a broader prospect for future low-temperature research and related applications.

[0004] Magnetic frustrated materials have special crystal structures (such as triangular lattices, kagome lattices, or pyrochlore, etc.), which lead to the inability of the interactions between magnetic ions to simultaneously satisfy the condition of the lowest energy, thus forming geometric frustration or random frustration and suppressing the establishment of long-range magnetic order. In such materials, the synergistic effect of strong quantum fluctuations and frustration effects often results in an extremely low magnetic ordering temperature. For example, the two-dimensional triangular lattice material TmMgGaO4 (TMGO) exhibits long-range order only below 0.9 K and shows the disordered strong fluctuation characteristics of the Berezinskii-Kosterlitz-Thouless (BKT) phase in the range of 0.9 - 1.9 K; similarly, the striped antiferromagnetic order of CsCeSe2 appears only near 350 mK, and the magnetic excitation still shows anomalous kinetic behavior at extremely low temperatures. The number of known strong frustrated materials is limited, partly because it is difficult to synthesize materials with a high frustration coefficient. For example, the double perovskite structure material Pb2MnMoO6 can only achieve a frustration coefficient f > 12.5 through high-temperature and high-pressure preparation, and its long-range magnetic ordering temperature is still below 2 K. In addition, most of the similar materials have weak frustration effects (such as f of Pb2MnWO6 is only 3). Moreover, the quantum spin liquid state (QSL) in the frustrated system, as a novel quantum state with a highly entangled spin configuration, does not form a traditional long-range magnetic order even at absolute zero, further reducing the possibility of observable magnetic order. These characteristics make frustrated materials an ideal platform for exploring novel quantum states (such as spin liquids, topological magnetic structures) and developing extremely low-temperature solid-state refrigeration technology.

[0034] The technical solutions of the present invention are further described below through the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0037] S1. Weigh the starting materials including Gd2O3, H3BO3 and (NH4)6Mo7O 24 ·4H2O according to the stoichiometric values in the molecular formula, and weigh 7.0% more H3BO3 than its stoichiometric ratio to compensate for inevitable losses;

[0038] S2. Thoroughly mix all the chemical substances in an agate mortar;

[0039] S3. Put the mixture into a muffle furnace, gradually heat it to 650 °C, and keep it at this temperature for 5 hours;

[0040] S4. Grind and remix the mixture, and then sinter it at 750 °C for 5 hours;

[0042] S6. Characterize the Gd2B2MoO9 material obtained in this example by XRD, and the results are as Figure 1 shown. It can be found that the measured sample basically coincides with the standard PDF card. The refined lattice constants are a = 5.2011(1), b = 6.9488(4), c = 10.3210(9), α = 74.557(6), β = 76.307(7) and γ = 73.065(6);

[0043] S7. Conduct structural characterization on the Gd2B2MoO9 material prepared in this example: The crystal structure diagram of the Gd2B2MoO9 material is as Figure 4 (b) shows that the Gd2B2MoO9 material is triclinic with a space group of P-1. Figure 4 In (a) of, it can be seen that Gd atoms form two edge-sharing equilateral triangles through covalent bonds, and the side lengths are with included angles of 61.64(9)°, 59.17(6)°, 59.17(6)°, 61.65(0)°, 59.17(5)° and 59.17(5)°, Figure 4 in (a) implies its geometric frustration property, and the existence of geometric frustration is beneficial to achieving a low magnetic ordering temperature.

[0044] S8. Measure the rare earth oxide magnetic refrigeration material prepared in the example using a vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM) measurement accessory produced by Quantum Design Corporation of the United States. Perform a linear fit on the reciprocal curve of the temperature-dependent magnetic susceptibility according to the Curie-Weiss theorem, and the result is Figure 3 , that is, the paramagnetic Curie temperature θ CW = -5.43 K. The negative θ P indicates that Gd2B2MoO9 has weak antiferromagnetic coupling and is suitable for use as a magnetic refrigeration material. To further determine the phase transition temperature of Gd2B2MoO9, the temperature-dependent magnetic susceptibility curve in the range of 0.4 - 1.2 K was measured, as shown in Figure 5 . The test results prove the antiferromagnetic ground state of Gd2B2MoO9, and from Figure 6 it can be seen that at 0.05 T, the antiferromagnetic transition temperature is T N = 0.84 K. In addition, the calculated frustration parameter f = |θ cw / T N | = 6.45. It shows that there is strong frustration property in Gd2B2MoO9.

As the magnetic field increases, the magnetization of the Gd2B2MoO9 alloy gradually increases and reaches saturation. According to the Maxwell relation, the magnetic entropy change of Gd2B2MoO9 is calculated, and the obtained results are as Figure 8 shown. It can be seen from the figure that the magnetic transition temperature of the Gd2B2MoO9 rare earth oxide magnetic refrigeration material in Example 1 is 0.84 K. Under 0 - 2 T and 0 - 5 T, its isothermal magnetic entropy changes can reach 33.07 J / kg·K and 53.05 J / kg·K respectively. This characterization shows that Gd2B2MoO9 can effectively absorb and release heat under magnetic field regulation to achieve the purpose of refrigeration.

According to the Curie-Weiss theorem, a linear fit is performed on the reciprocal curve of the temperature-dependent magnetic susceptibility. It can be calculated that the effective magnetic moment in paramagnetism μeff = 7.98, and the Curie temperature θ CW = -3.11 K. The negative θ PIt is explained that Gd2B2MoO9 has weak antiferromagnetic coupling and is suitable for use as a magnetic refrigeration material.

[0065] S2. Add deionized water according to the mass ratio of raw materials to deionized water of 1:30, stir evenly, and then add citric acid according to the ratio of citric acid to cations of 1:1. Stir the mixture for 12 h until it forms a gel;

In Example 1, under the magnetic field changes of 0-2T and 0-5T, the maximum values of the isothermal magneto-entropy change are 33.07 J / kg·K and 53.05 J / kg·K respectively.

In this example, the XRD refinement results show that there is 3.14% of the impurity phase Gd3BMoO9, which should be the reason why the magneto-entropy change at 0-2T and 0-5T is greater than the normal value. In Example 4, under the magnetic field changes of 0-2T and 0-5T, the maximum values of the isothermal magneto-entropy change are 30.07 J / kg·K and 51.03 J / kg·K respectively.

This characterization shows that the gadolinium boromolybdate magnetic refrigeration material Gd2B2MoO9 with triangular magnetic frustration can effectively absorb and release heat under magnetic field regulation to achieve the refrigeration purpose. And its preparation method is simple and the structure is stable. It not only has great application prospects in the field of magnetic refrigeration, but also can be applied to fields such as low-temperature physics, deep space exploration and aerospace, and can also promote the high-value utilization of rare earth resources, further enhancing the international competitiveness and technical strength of China's rare earth industry.

[0072] Therefore, by adopting the above preparation method, the present invention can prepare a gadolinium boromolybdate magnetic refrigeration material with triangular magnetic frustration, which can solve the problems of low magnetic entropy and unstable structure of the existing magnetic refrigeration materials.
