Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to a method for rapidly synthesizing nano pure phase AlN powder, and belongs to the field of ceramic powder preparation. Background Art

[0002] In recent years, with the advancement of science and technology, ultra-large-scale integrated circuits and electronic devices have been moving towards high density, high frequency, high power, high reliability, miniaturization, and multifunctionality. As one of the third-generation semiconductor materials, AlN ceramics not only have excellent thermal conductivity and mechanical properties, but also possess a linear expansion coefficient close to that of silicon. Furthermore, they possess high volume resistivity, low dielectric constant and dielectric loss, high temperature resistance, corrosion resistance, and are non-toxic. These advantages hold broad application prospects in high-end electronic devices such as 5G communications, microwave TR components, and IGBT modules.

[0003] AlN powder is a key raw material for sintering AlN ceramics. Currently, among the three main methods for preparing AlN powder—direct nitridation of aluminum powder, wet chemical methods, and carbothermal reduction nitridation—carbothermal reduction nitridation has become an important method for preparing high-quality AlN powder due to its advantages such as high product purity, good sintering activity, and strong resistance to hydration. Typically, a mixed powder of Al2O3 and activated carbon or carbon black is the main raw material for preparing AlN powder by carbothermal reduction nitridation. However, when synthesizing AlN powder using this raw material, it often requires prolonged incubation at relatively high temperatures to completely convert Al2O3 to AlN. This results in large primary particle size, difficulty in powder refinement, and difficulty controlling the purity of the AlN fine powder.

[0004] To prepare fine AlN powder, some studies have used aluminum nitrate (Al(NO3)3·9H2O) as an Al source and sucrose, glucose, or starch as a C source, in the presence of urea, to generate an Al2O3 / C precursor through combustion synthesis or pyrolysis, which is then followed by carbothermal reduction and nitridation to synthesize AlN. Other studies have used γ-Al2O3 as an Al source and sucrose as a C source, first preparing a sucrose / alumina foam precursor, then pyrolyzing it and then carbothermal reduction and nitridation to synthesize fine AlN powder (MAO Xi-Xi, et al., Journal of Inorganic Materials, 34(2019)1123-1127). Our group previously used γ-Al2O3 as an Al source and glucose as a C source, first hydrothermally preparing γ-Al2O3@C, and then carbothermal reduction and nitridation to synthesize nano-AlN powder in a relatively short holding time. However, this method faces the challenge of requiring high pressure for the hydrothermal process and the difficulty in controlling the pressure. It can be seen that improving the contact state between Al2O3 and C and increasing the distribution uniformity of C are the keys to promoting the carbon thermal reduction nitridation of Al2O3 to generate AlN and realizing the preparation of AlN fine powder. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The present invention aims to provide a method for rapidly synthesizing pure nano-AlN powder. Specifically, using γ-Al2O3 powder as the Al source and methyl methacrylate (MMA), N,N-methylenebisacrylamide (MBA), and methacrylic acid (MA) as the C sources, γ-Al2O3@PMMA is first prepared through polymerization, followed by pyrolysis to prepare γ-Al2O3@C. Finally, a carbothermal reduction nitridation method is used, with the temperature rapidly raised to the AlN synthesis temperature and a short holding time to produce pure nano-AlN powder. This method coats the surface of the γ-Al2O3 powder with MMA through polymerization, followed by pyrolysis to achieve uniform distribution of C on the γ-Al2O3 surface. During the carbothermal reduction nitridation process, the C coating, combined with the rapid heating, suppresses the γ→α phase transition and particle growth of the Al2O3, thereby promoting the rapid carbothermal reduction nitridation of the γ-Al2O3 to form AlN. This technology uses commercially available, environmentally friendly, and inexpensive γ-Al2O3 and MMA as its primary raw materials. The process is highly controllable, with a fast heating rate during the carbothermal reduction process, low AlN synthesis temperature, and short holding time, resulting in high efficiency. Furthermore, the resulting pure AlN powder has a small particle size. This method is simple, energy-efficient, and environmentally friendly, making it suitable for industrial production.

The γ-Al2O3@C prepared by the method of the present invention can produce nano-pure AlN powder at extremely fast heating rates and short holding times.

The γ-Al2O3@C prepared by the method of the present invention can also yield nano-pure AlN powder at a conventional heating rate and a relatively long holding time. Generally speaking, the faster the heating rate, the shorter the holding time, preferably 10-60 minutes.

[0015] Furthermore, in a nitrogen environment, the obtained γ-Al2O3@C is heated to 1550-1650°C at a heating rate of 40-500°C / min and kept at this temperature for 10-60 minutes to synthesize nano-pure phase AlN powder.

[0018] Among them, the mass ratio of methyl methacrylate to γ-Al2O3 powder is 7-10:1, the mass ratio of PVP to γ-Al2O3 powder is 0.05-0.08:1, the mass ratio of azobisisobutyronitrile to methyl methacrylate is 0.015-0.030:1, and the mass ratio of N,N-methylenebisacrylamide to methyl methacrylate is 0.1-0.3:1.

[0019] In the above technical solution, step S2 is specifically as follows: heating the γ-Al2O3@PMMA obtained in step S1 to 600-700°C at a rate of 5-20°C / min in a nitrogen environment, and keeping the temperature for 2.5-4h to obtain γ-Al2O3@C.

[0020] In the above technical solution, the method includes a carbon removal step, wherein the obtained nano pure phase AlN powder is kept at 500-700° C. in air or oxygen for 2-5 hours to remove residual carbon.

[0021] Another object of the present invention is to provide nano pure phase AlN powder prepared by the above method, wherein the average particle size of the AlN powder is 70 to 110 nm.

[0022] The present invention has the following beneficial effects: the raw materials used in the synthesis method of the present invention are nano-γ-Al2O3 powder with a flocculent porous structure and MMA, which are easily available and low in cost; the polymerization reaction for preparing γ-Al2O3@PMMA is carried out under relatively low temperature conditions, is easy to implement, and the process is easy to control; the temperature for preparing γ-Al2O3@C is not high, and the equipment requirements are not high; the C layer coated on the surface of γ-Al2O3 is combined with a rapid heating process to effectively inhibit the phase transformation of γ-Al2O3 to α-Al2O3 during the carbon thermal reduction nitridation process to synthesize AlN, thereby maintaining the nano-powder characteristics of γ-Al2O3 to the temperature for forming AlN, effectively shortening the diffusion distance of the substance forming AlN by inhibiting the growth of Al2O3 powder, and at the same time, combined with the advantage of side chain groups breaking and releasing gas during the pyrolysis process of PMMA, the C layer has good air permeability and is conducive to gas exchange, thereby promoting the rapid synthesis of pure phase AlN, effectively shortening the reaction time, and improving the synthesis efficiency of AlN powder.

[0047] Example 1

[0048] S1, first, the specific surface area of 115m 2 / g, 10g of γ-Al2O3 powder with an average particle size of 13nm was placed in a three-necked flask with 0.1g of MA and 128g of anhydrous ethanol and magnetically stirred for 30 minutes to obtain a slurry. Then, 80g of MMA, 0.6g of PVP, 2g of AIBN, 16g of MBA, and 672g of anhydrous ethanol were added to the slurry and stirred to uniformly disperse the slurry. The prepared slurry was incubated at 70°C in an oil bath for 5 hours and centrifuged three times at 800rpm to obtain a powder. The resulting powder was dried and passed through a 50-mesh sieve to obtain γ-Al2O3@PMMA. Figure 1 XRD pattern (a), SEM image (b) and TEM image (c) of γ-Al2O3 powder.

[0049] S2, the prepared γ-Al2O3@PMMA was heated to 650℃ at 10℃ / min and kept warm for 3h to obtain γ-Al2O3@C.
