Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of functional ceramic materials technology, and in particular to a low-temperature sintered infrared porous ceramic plate and its preparation method. Background Technology
[0002] Since the discovery of infrared radiation, infrared technology has been extensively and deeply studied, with the research of high-emissivity materials becoming a hot topic. Ceramic materials, composed of polyatomic molecules with macromolecular structures, exhibit high emissivity because the vibration of these polyatomic atoms easily alters the molecular symmetry, causing changes in the dipole moment. Therefore, obtaining infrared radiation materials with high emissivity using ceramic preparation techniques has become an increasingly important research focus. Infrared ceramic materials are made by mixing inorganic compounds and trace metal elements or specific natural minerals in different proportions, followed by high-temperature sintering to achieve high emissivity and radiation intensity within a certain infrared wavelength range. Researching and optimizing the selection of raw materials, the proportions of the formulation, and the sintering process are key to obtaining high infrared emissivity. Summary of the Invention

Add water to the mixed powder to adjust the moisture content, then press it into a slab. The slab is dried and then calcined at 1140-1160°C and then cooled in the furnace to obtain the infrared porous ceramic plate.
[0004] Further, in step (1), the concentration of cerium nitrate in the composite aqueous solution of cerium nitrate and manganese nitrate is 8-10 g / 100 mL, the concentration of manganese nitrate is 3-4 g / 100 mL, and the solvent is water; the ratio of ethylene glycol, acetic acid, polyvinylpyrrolidone, and sodium hydroxide solution added to the composite aqueous solution of cerium nitrate and manganese nitrate is: composite aqueous solution of cerium nitrate and manganese nitrate: ethylene glycol: acetic acid: polyvinylpyrrolidone: sodium hydroxide solution = 10 mL: 20-25 mL: 0.8-1 mL: 0.5-0.8 g: 5-8 mL, wherein the mass percentage of solute in the sodium hydroxide solution is 20%-25%.

[0010] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: the ceramic plate prepared by the method described in this invention has good far-infrared emissivity and intensity, improving the application performance of ceramic materials in decoration, heat insulation, air purification, etc., and improving the durability of ceramics. This may be because this invention first adds cerium-manganese composite oxide to the ceramic. During the ceramic sintering process, cerium can induce the crystallization process, promote the occurrence of ceramic lattice distortion, and enhance the vibrational activity of the lattice. The addition of manganese and subsequent copper and iron elements helps to reduce lattice symmetry and enhance the anharmonic effect of lattice vibration, thereby improving the far-infrared emissivity of the ceramic. Subsequently, by coating with zinc-praseodymium composite oxide, praseodymium ions are added to the ceramic crystal, introducing impurity energy levels into the crystal structure and facilitating the escape of oxygen atoms from the lattice to form oxygen vacancies. This increases electrons and holes, promoting carrier absorption. At the same time, the presence of the radius difference between praseodymium ions and cerium / barium, as well as the introduction of oxygen vacancies, can further induce lattice distortion, thereby enhancing the effect of lattice vibration on far-infrared radiation. Furthermore, doping with praseodymium can optimize the surface state of the coated powder, providing better conditions for subsequent lithium modification. Finally, the lithium oxide modification process forms a lithium oxide layer, which promotes the sintering process of ceramics. During sintering, it easily forms a composite phase with silicon dioxide, lowering the sintering temperature and greatly reducing microcrack defects inside the ceramic, thereby improving the strength of the ceramic material.

[0020] Example 5 The infrared emissivity of the ceramic plates prepared by the methods described in the above embodiments and comparative examples was measured using an infrared spectrometer in the wavelength range of 8–14 μm. The flexural strength of the ceramic plates prepared by the methods described in the above embodiments and comparative examples was tested according to the requirements of standard GB / T 3810.4-2016. The sample size was cut to 40 mm × 20 mm × 5 mm, the test span was 36 mm, and the loading rate was 1 N / (mm²). 2 ·s). Test results are as follows Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown.
[0021] Depend on Figure 1 and Figure 2It is evident that the ceramic slab prepared using the method described in this invention possesses excellent far-infrared emissivity and strength, improving the application performance of ceramic materials in decoration, heat insulation, and air purification, while also enhancing the durability of the ceramics. Comparing Example 3 of this invention with various comparative examples, it is clear that adding cerium-manganese composite oxide to the ceramic raw materials, employing a zinc-praseodymium coating process, or modifying with lithium oxide can all improve the far-infrared emissivity of the ceramic slab to a certain extent. Furthermore, the zinc-praseodymium coating process and the lithium oxide modification process can significantly improve the flexural strength of the ceramic. This may be because this invention first prepares cerium-manganese composite oxide and adds it to the ceramic. During the ceramic sintering process, cerium can induce the crystallization process, promote the occurrence of ceramic lattice distortion, and enhance the vibrational activity of the lattice. The addition of manganese and subsequent copper and iron elements helps to reduce lattice symmetry and enhance the anharmonic effect of lattice vibration, thereby improving the far-infrared emissivity of the ceramic. Subsequently, by coating with a zinc-praseodymium composite oxide, praseodymium ions are introduced into the ceramic crystal, introducing impurity energy levels into the crystal structure. This facilitates the escape of oxygen atoms from the lattice, forming oxygen vacancies, increasing electrons and holes, and promoting carrier absorption. Simultaneously, the presence of the radius difference between praseodymium ions and cerium / barium, along with the introduction of oxygen vacancies, further induces lattice distortion, thereby enhancing the effect of lattice vibrations on far-infrared radiation. Furthermore, praseodymium doping optimizes the surface state of the coated powder, providing better conditions for subsequent lithium modification. Finally, the lithium oxide modification process forms a lithium oxide layer, which promotes the sintering process of the ceramic. During sintering, it easily forms a composite phase with silicon dioxide, lowering the sintering temperature and significantly reducing internal microcrack defects, thus improving the strength of the ceramic material.
