TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of lead oxide preparation, in particular to a preparation method of nanoscale high-purity controllable crystal phase lead oxide. BACKGROUND
[0002] Lead oxide (β-PbO) is an inorganic compound, which is a yellow orthorhombic crystal with a density of 9.64 g / cm 3 Its close lattice arrangement and high bond energy make it difficult to undergo phase transition or decomposition at room temperature. β-PbO will reverse to α-PbO above 475~583℃, and is not easy to be oxidized in air at room temperature, but will be partially converted into lead trioxide when heated to 300~450℃. Grinding or mechanical pressure may induce the formation of α-PbO, but β-PbO has higher stability under static conditions.
[0003] High-purity nanoscale lead oxide (β-PbO) suitable for precision industry generally refers to the sum of non-lead impurities (such as Sn, Bi, Cd, Fe, Cu, Mg, Ni, etc.) being less than 10 ppm. In high-end industrial electronic materials, it is often used to manufacture conductive adhesive, glass powder and photoelectric conversion devices. In the preparation of optical devices, it is used as a raw material for high-refractive optical glass. At the same time, it has unique advantages in precision components such as detection instruments and thermal analysis sample cups in the semiconductor field. Due to its specific electrical and semiconductor properties, it has received widespread attention. In certain high-tech fields such as lead-acid battery production in the new energy battery field, precision optical lenses and optical fiber communication equipment production, only nanoscale high-purity can meet these performance standards. Research and development of high-purity lead oxide synthesis method not only can open up its application field, enhance market competitiveness, but also meet the development trend of lead oxide application industry at this stage, promote scientific research development, and has important significance for promoting the progress of material science and realizing the innovation of material application.
[0004] At present, the preparation methods of lead oxide mainly include lead nitrate thermal decomposition method, lead carbonate decomposition method and high-position lead compound reduction method. The lead nitrate thermal decomposition method produces a large amount of toxic gas, which puts great pressure on environmental protection and has high production cost; the lead carbonate decomposition method is easy to generate high-valence lead compounds, and the product purity is not high; the high-position lead reduction method has large energy consumption, long production time and is not suitable for large-scale production. The common high-temperature oxidation method of metallic lead (>600℃ molten lead + blast) has high energy consumption, lead vapor pollution, high operation risk and is easy to generate other by-products, and the crystal morphology is inconsistent.
