Abstract

This invention discloses a high-entropy rare-earth silicate ceramic powder and its preparation method. A flocculent precipitate is obtained through in-situ chemical co-precipitation via both forward titration (adding ammonium carbonate solution to a precursor solution) and reverse titration (adding the precursor solution to an ammonium carbonate solution). This precipitate is then repeatedly washed, dried, and calcined at high temperature to prepare a monoclinic high-entropy silicate powder. This invention arbitrarily selects five trivalent lanthanide rare-earth elements with different ionic radii and dissolves them into the high-entropy rare-earth silicate lattice, thereby significantly increasing the configurational entropy and lattice distortion of the sample, enhancing the phase structure stability, and resulting in a resonant frequency temperature coefficient closer to 0 ppm / ℃. The bulk sample of the high-entropy rare-earth silicate ceramic powder, after pressing and sintering, has a relative permittivity of 9.82~10.31, which meets the requirements for microwave dielectric ceramics in millimeter-scale communication.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of ceramic preparation technology, specifically to a high-entropy rare-earth silicate ceramic powder and its preparation method. Background Technology

[0002] Silicate ceramics have attracted much attention in fields such as microwave dielectric ceramics due to their low price, large resource reserves, and low relative permittivity. However, traditional silicate ceramics (such as Mg2SiO4, Zn2SiO4, CaSiO3, etc.) still have the following limitations: (1) Microwave dielectric properties are difficult to control, making it difficult to achieve zero temperature coefficient of resonant frequency; (2) Phase separation or the formation of a second phase is prone to occur, leading to increased dielectric loss; (3) High sintering temperature is required, and in order to meet the density requirements, the sintering temperature of most silicate ceramics is greater than 1300°C. ° C, cannot meet the requirements of low temperature co-firing; (4) Mechanical performance bottleneck, silicate ceramics have high hardness but are brittle and difficult to machine.

[0003] To improve the aforementioned properties, current methods primarily involve optimizing the material system through elemental doping or two-phase composites ((Mg,Ca)₂SiO₄, Mg₂SiO₄-CaTiO₃). While these methods can effectively control the dielectric loss or temperature coefficient of the resonant frequency, they are prone to the precipitation of a second phase, limiting the control over the microwave dielectric properties of the material. For example, using Cu... 2+ Partially replaces Mg in Mg2SiO4 2+ The temperature coefficient of resonant frequency of ceramic materials is only -2ppm / ° C, but the resulting MgSiO3 impurity phase increases dielectric loss. Furthermore, achieving a balance between performance is difficult with the two-phase composite, especially in achieving the desired temperature coefficient of resonant frequency (τ). f ) Introducing τ by adjusting 0 f Conversely, ceramic phases may introduce pores or interface defects, thereby sacrificing quality factor.

[0004] In recent years, high-entropy ceramics have shown breakthrough potential in the field of materials design due to their unique multi-principal element effect. High-entropy ceramics are typically composed of five or more elements in equimolar ratios, exhibiting high configurational entropy (ΔS). mix A temperature coefficient ≥1.5R can suppress elemental segregation, stabilize single-phase structures, and optimize the microstructure of materials through lattice distortion, providing a new path for improving the performance of microwave dielectric ceramics. Studies have shown that the high-entropy strategy has been successfully applied in vanadate, oxide, and phosphate systems; for example, high-entropy rare-earth germanate can reduce the large negative resonant frequency temperature coefficient (-70.4 ppm / ) ° C) Optimize to near 0 (-7.4ppm / °(C) However, high-entropy design for monoclinic rare-earth silicates has not been reported, and the preparation of microwave dielectric ceramic powders is currently mainly based on solid-state methods. Therefore, the feasibility of synthesizing monoclinic high-entropy rare-earth silicate ceramic powders by chemical coprecipitation and the mechanism by which the synthesis process affects the grain size and phase structure of high-entropy silicate ceramic powders still need to be explored.

[0005] Therefore, in order to solve the above problems, this paper proposes a high-entropy rare earth silicate ceramic powder and its preparation method. Summary of the Invention
