Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the field of powder atomic layer deposition, and in particular to a continuous powder atomic layer deposition device. Background Art
[0002] The powder atomic layer deposition system is a process system used for surface coating of powder materials. Its principle is atomic layer deposition technology, also known as atomic layer epitaxy technology, which is a chemical vapor thin film deposition technology based on order, surface self-limiting saturation, and "bottom-up". The two precursors alternately undergo molecular-level self-limiting reactions on the surface of the object, thereby achieving uniform and controllable deposition of the film, and its thickness can be achieved by changing the number of ALD deposition cycles.
[0003] With the surge in demand for functional powders in new energy, catalysis, medicine and other fields, powder ALD technology is rapidly evolving towards continuous production and mass coating. Traditional ALD is a batch processing mode with limited single-time production capacity. The new continuous system connects multiple reaction chambers in series and combines an air-lock transmission device to achieve uninterrupted feeding and discharging of powders. With the reduction of equipment costs and the advancement of process standardization, ALD is expected to become one of the core technologies for the preparation of functional powders, promoting innovations in high-performance batteries, heterogeneous catalysts, drug controlled-release carriers and other fields. It will also break through the laboratory scale and move towards industrial-grade applications.
[0004] Uniform coating and surface modification of powder materials is an important technology in modern materials science and is widely used in the fields of lithium batteries, energy catalysis, medicine, metallurgy and military.

Detailed Embodiments
[0023] The present invention will be further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings of the specification and specific embodiments. It should be noted that as long as there is no conflict, the various embodiments in the present invention and the various features in each embodiment can be combined with each other, and the technical solutions formed are all within the protection scope of the present invention.
[0024] Those parts not described in the present invention can be realized by adopting or referring to the existing technologies.
[0025] As Figure 1 shown, an embodiment of the present invention provides a continuous powder atomic layer deposition device, including: A storage unit B, A plurality of reaction units A connected in sequence, respectively serving as reaction sites for powder and precursor; A plurality of gas inlet units, respectively connected to the reaction unit A and delivering corresponding carrier gases and precursors into the corresponding reaction unit A; A plurality of air extraction units, respectively communicating with the reaction unit A and used to discharge the separated carrier gases, precursors and / or side reaction gases from the reaction unit A; Wherein, the reaction unit A includes a reaction chamber (such as the first reaction chamber A1, the second reaction chamber A2, the third reaction chamber A3, the fourth reaction chamber A4...), and a deflector 3 is arranged in the reaction chamber. The gas-solid mixture formed by the powder and the carrier gas forms a cyclone through the deflector 3 for gas-solid separation.
[0026] In the embodiment of the present invention, the continuous powder atomic layer deposition device has a plurality of reaction chambers, and reacts with different precursors in different chambers respectively, which can be efficiently processed in a cyclic manner, realizing uninterrupted feeding and discharging of powder, significantly improving the production capacity, so that the powder film preparation throughput of tons per day can be achieved. At the same time, a deflector is arranged in the reaction chamber, and the gas-solid system of the powder and the carrier gas is formed into a cyclone through the spiral deflector, realizing uniform dispersion of the powder, so as to cross the air flow with the precursor and carry out chemical reaction, thereby realizing continuous and uniform deposition of the film.
[0027] In one embodiment, the storage unit B may include: A gravimeter, used for automatic weighing and automatic feeding after weighing; A heating unit, used for preheating the fed powder to the reaction temperature to accelerate the deposition reaction rate.
[0028] Optionally, the reaction temperature is 200 - 400 °C, preferably 150 - 350 °C. The preheating function can directly heat the cavity (for example, by means of resistance heating or radiation heating), and utilize heat conduction to uniformly heat the powder (powder material). In one embodiment, a flow guide cover is further provided in the reaction cavity. The flow guide cover can play a role in guiding the flow. After the powder material entering the reaction cavity undergoes a deposition reaction with the precursor, the generated side reaction gas and the separated carrier gas nitrogen flow out of the reaction cavity along the flow guide cover 4 through the exhaust pipe 7 under the action of the flow guide cover 4.
[0029] In one embodiment, the intake unit includes: A precursor gas path for delivering a corresponding precursor to a corresponding reaction cavity; A carrier gas and purge gas path F for delivering a corresponding carrier gas to a corresponding reaction cavity before the reaction starts and delivering a purge gas to the reaction cavity after the reaction in the reaction cavity ends.
[0030] As Figure 1 shown, each reaction cavity is respectively connected to a precursor gas path, and the powder material undergoes a chemical deposition reaction with the corresponding precursor in the corresponding reaction cavity.
[0031] For example, the first reaction cavity A1 is connected to the first precursor gas path C, the second reaction cavity A2 is connected to the second precursor gas path D, and the third reaction cavity A3, according to specific process requirements, selects to continue to be connected to the first precursor gas path C / the second precursor gas path D to achieve the required powder coating thickness through multiple reaction cycles. In addition, the third reaction cavity A3 and the fourth reaction cavity A4 can also, according to specific process requirements, the third reaction cavity A3 selects to be connected to the third precursor gas path in the oxidation / reduction reaction gas path E, and the fourth reaction cavity A4 selects to be connected to the fourth precursor gas path.
[0032] It should be noted that, according to process needs, the precursor intakes of the four reaction cavities can be arranged arbitrarily, and in order to achieve a satisfactory powder coating thickness, the actual number of cavities can also be increased according to specific process requirements.
[0033] A carrier gas and purge gas path F for delivering a corresponding carrier gas to a corresponding reaction cavity before the reaction starts and delivering a purge gas to the reaction cavity after the reaction in the reaction cavity ends.
[0034] In the embodiments of the present invention, the carrier gas and purge gas are inert gases. Optionally, they are high-purity nitrogen or argon, and preferably high-purity nitrogen with a purity not less than 99.99%.
[0035] After the reaction ends and the powder enters the powder collection port 9 of the reaction chamber, purge gas is introduced to purge the residual side reaction gas and unreacted precursor in the chamber. The purge flow rate is 100 - 500 sccm, and for a larger chamber, it can be 1000 - 10,000 sccm, preferably 500 sccm.
[0036] In an alternative embodiment, a filter screen 6 is provided between the air extraction unit and the reaction chamber. The filter screen 6 can prevent powder from entering the air extraction unit.
[0037] In an alternative embodiment, the air extraction unit includes an air extraction pipeline 7 and a pumping system G. The air extraction pipeline 7 communicates with the inside of the reaction chamber. A filter screen 6 is provided at the entrance inside the reaction chamber to prevent powder from entering the air extraction pipeline 7. The generated side reaction gas and the separated carrier gas nitrogen flow out of the reaction chamber along the air extraction pipeline 7 under the action of the diversion hood 4 and the pumping system.
[0038] Optionally, the carrier gas and purge gas gas path F is provided at the front end of the reaction chamber, and the air extraction unit is provided at the tail end (or rear end) of the reaction chamber.
[0039] In one embodiment, the reaction chamber includes at least n + 1 reaction chambers. Among them, the powder outlets of the reaction chambers are respectively provided at the bottoms of the reaction chambers. The powder inlet of the (n + 1)-th reaction chamber is connected to the powder outlet of the n-th reaction chamber, and the powder outlet of the last reaction chamber is connected to the powder collection unit.
[0040] As Figure 1 shown, in the embodiment of the present invention, 4 reaction chambers are provided. The powder inlet of each reaction chamber is located above the chamber, and the powder outlet is located below the chamber. The powder inlet of the first reaction chamber A1 is connected to the storage unit, and the powder of the storage unit is fed into the first reaction chamber A1 through this place. The powder outlet of the first reaction chamber A1 is connected to the second reaction chamber A2, and the powder outlet of the second reaction chamber A2 is connected to the third reaction chamber, and so on. The powder outlet of the last reaction chamber is connected to the powder collection tank for collecting the powder after the reaction ends.
[0041] Furthermore, a valve is provided between the powder outlet of the n-th reaction chamber and the powder inlet of the (n + 1)-th reaction chamber. The valve automatically opens after the purge operation in the previous reaction chamber is completed, and when the valve between the powder outlet of the n-th reaction chamber and the powder inlet of the (n + 1)-th reaction chamber is open, the valve between the powder outlet of the (n + 1)-th reaction chamber and the powder inlet of the (n + 2)-th reaction chamber is closed.
[0042] After the reaction between the powder material and the precursor in the previous reaction chamber is completed, the powder slides down along the outer wall and finally flows to the powder collection port 9 (i.e., the powder outlet of the reaction chamber, which is a collection tube with a certain length), and stays here for easy collection. At this time, purge gas (such as high-concentration nitrogen) is introduced through the carrier gas and purge gas gas path F to purge the residual side reaction gas and the unreacted precursor in the chamber, and is pumped to the pumping system G through the exhaust pipe 7. After the purging is completed, the valve 10 of the feed port is opened, and the powder enters the next reaction chamber to carry out the next reaction with the precursor in the next reaction chamber.
[0043] A receiving tank valve 12 is also provided between the powder outlet of the last reaction chamber and the powder collection tank. After the purging of the last reaction chamber is completed, the receiving tank valve 12 is opened, and the powder enters the powder collection tank 13 through the receiving tank valve 12.
[0044] Valves are provided at both ends of the powder inlet and the powder outlet of the device of the present invention. This design can effectively isolate the outside environment during the process of particles entering and leaving the reaction chamber, and can control the entry and exit of nanoparticles into and out of the reaction chamber through the powder inlet and the powder outlet, ensuring the continuous progress of the atomic layer deposition reaction.
[0045] In an optional embodiment, the deflector is a spiral deflector.
[0046] The spiral structure stratifies the gas-solid mixture by inducing rotational flow. Large particles gather and settle towards the outer wall due to the centrifugal force, reducing the residue of particles in the core region of the flow; at the same time, it guides the fluid to form a stable rotational flow pattern, which can reduce turbulence and pressure drop. In addition, the spiral deflector can make the gas-solid two-phase flow form a spiral upward or downward flow pattern, reducing the flow dead zone and lowering the local resistance. The continuous spiral design of the spiral deflector can suppress eddy currents and backmixing, inhibit secondary flow, improve the axial flow stability of the gas-solid mixture, and reduce energy loss. The spiral flow can make the particles evenly distributed along the wall surface, avoiding the concentrated erosion of locally high-concentration particles and extending the service life of the equipment.
[0047] In an optional embodiment, the atomic deposition equipment of the present invention further includes a heating unit for heating all reaction chambers and valves, and the heating temperature is the same as the preheating temperature of the powder in the storage unit.
[0048] In an optional embodiment, the reaction chamber is a horizontal reaction chamber, and the powder is horizontally introduced into the reaction chamber through the cyclone formed by the deflector. The horizontally designed chamber structure is simple and has a small longitudinal distance, which is convenient for chamber stacking and process expansion.
[0049] Furthermore, the reaction chamber is designed with a narrow front and a wide rear (i.e., the end where the carrier gas and purge gas gas path F is located is the front, and the end where the pumping unit is located is the rear). The narrow-front-and-wide-rear structure increases the flow rate of the carrier gas (such as N2 or Ar) through the contraction effect at the inlet, forcing the gas to enter the reaction chamber in a laminar flow form and reducing local vortices caused by turbulence. This design helps the carrier gas and powder particles to mix more evenly, avoiding powder agglomeration or uneven distribution. In the laminar flow state, the carrier gas can more effectively wrap the surface of the powder particles, forming a stable gas-solid mixed flow, which is especially suitable for nano-scale or high specific surface area powders (such as the cathode material of lithium batteries), ensuring uniform adsorption of the precursor on the particle surface. And it helps the high-flow inert gas to quickly strip the unreacted precursor and by-products during the purge stage, preventing their deposition on the powder surface or the inner wall of the chamber, thereby reducing cross-contamination and film defects.
[0050] The following refers to Figure 1 , and a specific process embodiment is used to illustrate the process flow of the atomic deposition equipment of the present invention.
[0051] The storage system A is equipped with a gravimeter and a heating system for automatic feeding according to weight, preheating the powder material to the reaction temperature. At this time, the feeding port valve 1 of the first reaction chamber A1 is in the closed state. When the heating temperature of the powder material reaches the specified temperature, the feeding port valve 1 is opened, and the heated powder material enters the first reaction chamber A1 through the feeding pipeline (powder material inlet pipeline) 2. At the same time, high-purity nitrogen gas in the carrier gas and purge gas path F enters the first reaction chamber A1 through the carrier gas inlet 8. At the same time, the first precursor passes through the first precursor gas path C and enters the first reaction chamber A1 through the first precursor inlet pipeline 5.
[0052] In this way, the continuously heated powder enters the first reaction chamber A1 along with the high-throughput carrier gas. First, it passes through the spiral deflector 3, forming a cyclone for the gas-solid system of the powder and the carrier gas, so that the powder particles with larger inertial centrifugal force are thrown to the outer wall surface, cross with the first precursor entering through the first precursor inlet pipeline 5, and undergo a chemical reaction. The generated side reaction gas and the separated carrier gas nitrogen flow out of the first reaction chamber A1 along the deflector cover 4 and the pumping pipeline 7 of the pumping system G and are sent to the pumping system G. A filter screen 6 is arranged in front of the pumping pipeline 7, and the filter screen 6 can play a role in isolating a very small amount of powder from entering the pumping pipeline 7.
[0053] The powder after reacting with the first precursor slides down along the outer wall and finally flows to the powder collection port 9 for collection. When a certain weight of powder completely enters the first reaction chamber A1, the powder temporarily stays in the powder collection port 9, and the flow rate of the carrier gas entering through the carrier gas inlet is reduced to the purge flow rate value (500 SCCM) to purge the side reaction gas and the unreacted precursor remaining in the first reaction chamber A1, and is pumped to the pumping system G through the pumping pipeline 7.
[0054] After purging is completed, the feeding port valve 10 of the first reaction chamber A1 is opened, and the powder enters the second reaction chamber A2 to carry out the second reaction process with the second precursor. The process is the same as that in the first reaction chamber A1, except that the precursor is the second precursor entering through the second precursor inlet pipe 11, and it undergoes the second chemical reaction process with the powder. The remaining operation steps are the same as those in the first reaction chamber A1.
[0055] Similarly, when the reaction in the second reaction chamber A2 ends and purging is completed, the powder enters the third reaction chamber A3. The precursor introduced into the third reaction chamber A3 is the third precursor in the oxidation / reduction reaction gas path E (or the first precursor is continuously introduced to repeat the reaction in the first reaction chamber A1). If there is a fourth precursor, it will be carried out in the fourth reaction chamber A4. After the final reaction is completed, the powder waits until the final purging work is completed, and then enters the powder collection tank 13 through the material receiving tank valve 12 to complete powder collection.
[0056] At the same time, after the powder enters the second reaction chamber A2, the feeding valve 10 is closed. After the feeding valve 10 is closed, the feeding port valve 1 is opened, and the second batch of powder continues to enter the reaction chamber A to start the first coating process. In this way, a batch continuous coating process for the same powder material can be realized.
[0057] It should be noted that according to process requirements, the precursor inlets of the four chambers can be arranged arbitrarily. And in terms of the conventional reaction process of atomic layer deposition, if one cycle cannot achieve the required powder coating thickness, multiple reaction cycles are required to reach the required powder coating thickness. At this time, the number of reaction chambers and the precursor inlet can be increased or decreased according to process conditions to achieve a satisfactory coating thickness.
[0058] According to the continuous powder atomic layer deposition equipment of the present invention, it has multiple reaction chambers, can perform efficient cyclic processing, realize uninterrupted feeding and discharging of powder, and thus can achieve a powder film preparation throughput of tons per day. A deflector is provided in the reaction chamber, and a cyclone is formed in the gas-solid system in which the powder is mixed with the carrier gas through the spiral deflector to realize uniform dispersion of the powder, thereby realizing continuous and uniform deposition of the film.
