Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of nanomaterial preparation technology, and in particular to a method for forming ceramic nanofibers based on inorganic molecular chain electrospinning and pretreatment-calcination. Background Technology
[0002] Ceramic nanofibers, as important one-dimensional nanomaterials, have shown great potential in energy, environment, and biomedicine due to their high aspect ratio, large specific surface area, and excellent physicochemical stability. One method involves preparing spinning solutions using the sol-gel method and combining it with electrospinning technology to obtain ceramic precursor nanofibers with tunable composition and diverse structures. These precursor nanofibers are then transformed into dense ceramic nanofibers after high-temperature calcination. High-temperature calcination is crucial to the bulk structure of ceramic nanofibers, involving complex processes such as organic phase removal, grain nucleation, and grain growth. Traditional high-temperature calcination methods generate a large amount of gas during organic phase removal, leading to numerous pore defects and cracks within the fibers, making it difficult to obtain ceramic nanofibers with excellent mechanical properties.
[0003] To address the aforementioned issues, researchers have optimized the mechanical properties of ceramic fibers through various calcination processes. Patent document ZL202010484946.5 employs a gradient heating method, controlling the gradient heating rate and gradient holding time to ensure uniform grain growth within the fiber, thus forming ceramic fibers with a certain mechanical strength. However, this patent involves calcination in an air atmosphere, resulting in excessively large grain sizes and limitations in the fiber's mechanical properties. Patent document ZL202111391723.5 uses an alternating inert atmosphere for calcination, controlling the oxygen concentration during the calcination process to reduce the oxygen ion exchange rate and inhibit rapid grain growth, thereby forming dense ceramic nanofibers. However, this patent requires a long pre-sintering time, making it difficult to meet the needs of large-scale production. Patent document ZL202411182140.5 uses microwave pretreatment to remove organic components from inorganic fibers in advance, reducing pore defects generated during fiber calcination. However, this method still removes organic components at high temperatures, resulting in large grains in the fiber and limited improvement in mechanical properties. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the defects of the prior art by providing a ceramic nanofiber forming method based on inorganic molecular chain electrospinning and pretreatment-calcination, which yields ceramic nanofiber products with fine grains, dense structure and excellent flexibility.
[0005] The objective of this invention can be achieved through the following technical solutions: This invention provides a method for forming ceramic nanofibers based on inorganic molecular chain electrospinning and pretreatment-calcination, comprising the following steps: S1. The metal alkoxide monomers are coordinated and linearly linked. Then, hydrolysis-condensation, chain extension and end-capping reactions are triggered by introducing hydrogel microspheres to obtain linear inorganic long-chain sol, which is then electrospun into precursor nanofibers. S2. The precursor nanofibers are placed in a ligand treatment device, oxygen and atomized water are introduced, and ultraviolet light is used to irradiate them in sequence to generate hydroxyl radicals. The hydroxyl radicals are then used to act on the fibers to cleave and remove their organic ligands, resulting in ligand-free inorganic nanofibers. S3. The ligand-free inorganic nanofibers are fed into a differential transport-microwave oxygen-deficient calcination device. In the differential transport-microwave oxygen-deficient calcination device, an oxygen-deficient atmosphere is established by an oxygen-deficient module, and the fibers are heated by a microwave device. At the same time, an auxiliary roller with a high dielectric material lattice structure on its surface generates a local electric field with the fiber under the action of microwaves, which promotes the uniform formation of crystal nuclei. The fiber is then differentially stretched by rollers with a speed difference, and finally, a flexible ceramic nanofiber product is obtained.
[0006] Furthermore, in S1, the specific process of coordinating and linearly linking the metal alkoxide monomers includes: Linear and rigid bidentate linkers are added to metal alkoxide solution to bridge the metal alkoxide monomers as intermediates to form a linear framework. Then, a flexible bidentate stabilizer is added to replace the remaining active groups to form a stable linear pre-coordinated framework. The metal alkoxide is selected from one or more alkoxides of titanium, zirconium, aluminum, tin, and hafnium; The linear, rigid bidental connector is selected from p-phenylenediamine, terephthalic acid, or 1,4-benzenediol; The flexible bidental stabilizer is selected from ethylenediamine, tetramethylethylenediamine, or acetylacetone.
[0007] Furthermore, in S1, the process of triggering the hydrolysis-condensation reaction by introducing hydrogel microspheres includes: Thermosensitive hydrogel microspheres are added and heated and uniformly dispersed by ultrasonic treatment, thereby controllably releasing the contained water molecules, initiating the hydrolysis-condensation of the linear pre-coordinated framework, and forming low-polymerization linear inorganic molecular chains. The temperature-sensitive hydrogel microspheres are selected from one or more combinations of poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) hydrogel microspheres, poly(N-isopropylacrylamide-acrylic acid) hydrogel microspheres, poly(N-isopropylacrylamide-hydroxyethyl methacrylate) hydrogel microspheres, and carboxymethyl chitosan hydrogel microspheres. The amount of temperature-sensitive hydrogel microspheres added is 5% to 20% of the mass of the metal alkoxide monomer. The ultrasonic treatment has a power of 10~100kHz and a temperature of 5~60℃.
[0008] Further, in S1, based on the total mass of the linear pre-coordinated framework solution, the mass fraction of the metal alkoxide is 22wt% to 30wt%, the mass fraction of the linear, rigid bidental connector is 6wt% to 8wt%, the mass fraction of the flexible bidental stabilizer is 4wt% to 10wt%, and the remainder is solvent.
[0009] Further, in S2, the ligand processing device includes a main housing of the ligand processing device and a component disposed within the main housing of the ligand processing device: The first processing area for generating ozone includes a first ultraviolet light source emitting 185nm ultraviolet light and a concave mirror. The concave mirror is located below the first ultraviolet light source. An oxygen inlet is provided on the first processing area. The concave mirror is used to convert the light emitted by the first ultraviolet light source into parallel light. The second processing zone for generating hydroxyl radicals is provided with a second ultraviolet light source that emits ultraviolet light in the 254nm band, and the second processing zone is provided with an atomized water inlet. A gradient outlet for uniformly removing hydroxyl radicals is provided at the bottom of the main housing of the ligand processing device; The first treatment zone and the second treatment zone are separated by a partition, and the second treatment zone is provided with a grooved flow channel to allow ozone and water molecules to fully mix and react.
[0010] Furthermore, the first ultraviolet light source is a low-pressure mercury lamp, an excimer light source, or a laser light source; The second ultraviolet light source is a low-pressure mercury lamp, an ozone-free low-pressure mercury lamp, or an ultraviolet light-emitting diode. The power density of the first and second ultraviolet light sources is 10~100 mW / cm². 2 ; The concave mirror is made of fused silica, calcium fluoride, or zinc selenide. The partition is made of aluminum, stainless steel, fused silica or polytetrafluoroethylene; Ultraviolet light in the 185nm band breaks down oxygen to produce oxygen atoms. The oxygen atoms combine with oxygen to generate ozone. Ultraviolet light in the 254nm band causes ozone to react with atomized water molecules to generate hydroxyl radicals. The hydroxyl radicals are uniformly dispersed into the precursor nanofibers through the gradient outlet. Through their strong oxidizing properties, they break down the carbon-carbon bonds and carbon-hydrogen bonds of the organic ligands in the fibers, achieving a removal rate of not less than 95%, while retaining the metal-oxygen backbone structure.
[0011] Furthermore, in S3, the differential transport-microwave oxygen-deficient calcination device includes a main shell of the calcination device and the following disposed in the main shell of the calcination device: multiple rollers for transporting and stretching fibers, a microwave device for providing microwave heating, an auxiliary roller with a surface coated with a high dielectric constant material, and an oxygen-deficient module for constructing and maintaining an oxygen-deficient atmosphere. The microwave device is located on one side of the roller, the auxiliary roller is located on the other side of the roller, and the ligand-free inorganic nanofibers are placed between the auxiliary roller and the roller.
[0012] Furthermore, the oxygen-deficient module includes an oxygen-deficient pipe and multiple oxygen-deficient gas inlets disposed on the oxygen-deficient pipe, wherein a mixed gas of nitrogen, argon or helium with an oxygen content of not more than 18% is introduced into the oxygen-deficient pipe. The microwave device is a microwave generator with gradient calcination characteristics; The calcination temperature of the microwave device is 250~1500℃, and it is divided into 2~4 temperature gradient ranges.
[0013] Furthermore, the high dielectric constant material on the surface of the auxiliary roller is alumina, silicon nitride, or ferrite. The surface of the auxiliary roller is provided with a micron-scale lattice structure. Under the action of a microwave field, the micron-scale lattice structure can generate a local electric field focusing effect, which accelerates the migration of metal and oxygen ions inside the fiber, thereby promoting the rapid and uniform formation of crystal nuclei and inhibiting grain growth. The size of the lattice unit is 0.5~20μm, and the unit spacing is 0.5~1000μm; The number of rollers is at least two, and the operating speed increases in a gradient, ranging from 0.1 to 100 m / min. The speed difference applies a stretching force to the crystallizing ceramic fibers, causing the internal crystals to be tightly arranged along the fiber axis and releasing residual stress.
[0014] Furthermore, in S3, the prepared ceramic nanofiber product has a grain size of 4~25 nm and a pore volume of no more than 5 mm. 3 / g, with an average fiber diameter of 50~500 nm; When the ceramic nanofiber product is a single fiber, its tensile strength is not less than 0.5 GPa and its elongation at break is not less than 1.5%. When the ceramic nanofiber product is a fiber membrane, its softness is not higher than 300 mN.
[0015] The technical principle of this invention is as follows: The precursor nanofiber material described in this invention patent is a ceramic precursor nanofiber material. Utilizing deep ultraviolet ligand debinding technology, highly reactive oxygen species (hydroxyl radicals) are uniformly diffused into the interior of the ceramic precursor nanofiber material. This decomposes the weak carbon-carbon bonds (332 kJ / mol), carbon-oxygen bonds (326 kJ / mol), and carbon-hydrogen bonds (414 kJ / mol) on the metal-oxygen backbone, while retaining the metal-oxygen skeleton (aluminum-oxygen bond: 511 kJ / mol, titanium-oxygen bond: 672 kJ / mol, zirconium-oxygen bond: 760 kJ / mol, etc.). The electron-withdrawing ability of the hydroxyl radicals (with an oxidation potential reaching 2.8 V – one of the strongest oxidizing agents in nature) is used to gradually degrade the larger molecular weight ligands.
[0016] Microwave calcination can directly penetrate the fiber material, heating the inside and outside of the material almost simultaneously. In addition, the lattice structure on the surface of the auxiliary roller forms a local electric field under the action of microwaves, further accelerating the movement rate of ions in the fiber and enabling the grains to nucleate quickly and uniformly. The differential transport of the roller applies stress in the direction of movement of the fiber material, which helps the crystals to arrange more compactly during the calcination process, releases the residual stress in the nanofibers, and, combined with the oxygen-deficient atmosphere, inhibits the rapid increase in grain size, which is conducive to the formation of fine, uniform and dense ceramic grains.
[0017] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects: 1) This invention, through coordination modification in step S1 and the introduction of hydrogel microspheres to trigger a controllable reaction, can synthesize linear inorganic long chains with controllable molecular weight and structure, laying the material foundation for the preparation of uniform and continuous precursor nanofibers. Secondly, step S2 innovatively uses hydroxyl radicals to cleave and remove organic ligands under mild conditions, which can effectively avoid fiber pore defects and cracks caused by traditional high-temperature removal methods, and preserve the intact inorganic framework. Finally, step S3 combines the three factors of oxygen-deficient atmosphere to inhibit grain growth, microwave heating to promote uniform nucleation, and differential stretching to induce close crystal arrangement, ultimately obtaining ceramic nanofiber products with fine grains, dense structure, and excellent flexibility, comprehensively improving their mechanical properties and structural reliability.
[0018] 2) The ligand removal device used in this invention allows oxygen and atomized water to mix and collide sequentially. After sufficient contact, highly oxidizing hydroxyl radicals are generated and diffused into the ceramic precursor nanofibers, which can effectively remove inert organic ligands in the fibers, with a ligand removal rate of ≥95%.
[0019] 3) The differential transport-microwave oxygen-deficient calcination device used in this invention can form a local electric field inside the fiber under the action of microwaves, which accelerates the movement rate of ions in the fiber and enables the grains to nucleate quickly and uniformly. The residual stress in the nanofiber is released by the oxygen-deficient atmosphere and differential transport, which inhibits the rapid increase of grain size. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation
[0022] S1. A linear, rigid bidentate linker is diluted with a non-polar solvent. Then, under an inert atmosphere, low temperature, and high-speed stirring, the diluted solution is slowly added dropwise to a metal alkoxide solution. The linker acts as an intermediate to intersect the metal alkoxide monomers, forming a linear linkage structure. A flexible, bidentate stabilizer is then added to replace the remaining active groups on the metal alkoxide monomers, forming a stable linear pre-coordinated framework. Temperature-sensitive hydrogel microspheres are further added, and the solution is ultrasonically treated to uniformly heat and disperse the microspheres, releasing water molecules uniformly into the solution. This causes the linear pre-ligand to undergo hydrolysis-condensation to obtain low-polymerization linear inorganic molecular chains. A chain extender is then added to allow the low-polymerization linear inorganic molecular chains to complete the chain extension reaction. A capping agent is added to terminate the chain extension reaction, thereby obtaining linear inorganic long chains with controllable molecular weight. The solution is further concentrated using negative pressure suction to produce a high-concentration linear inorganic long-chain sol, and precursor nanofiber materials are prepared using electrospinning technology.
[0023] S2. The precursor nanofiber material is placed under the ligand treatment device 1; oxygen and atomized water are introduced into the ligand treatment device 1, and hydroxyl radicals are formed under 185nm and 254nm ultraviolet light irradiation in sequence; then the hydroxyl radicals are dispersed into the fiber material, causing the ligands in the fiber to be cleaved and thus removing the ligands, to obtain the ligand-free inorganic nanofiber material.
[0024] S3. The ligand-free inorganic nanofiber material is transported to a differential transport-microwave oxygen-deficient calcination device. The inorganic nanofiber material is calcined by controlling the microwave power. At the same time, the auxiliary roller is attached to the surface of the fiber material. Through the polarization effect of microwave, a local electric field is generated between the high dielectric material on the surface of the auxiliary roller and the fiber, so that crystal nuclei are uniformly formed inside the fiber. In addition, the calcination environment is controlled to be an oxygen-deficient atmosphere to inhibit the rapid growth of grains. At the same time, the speed difference between the transport rollers is controlled to perform differential stretching on the crystallized ceramic fiber, so that the crystal structure in the fiber is tightly arranged, thereby obtaining nano-ceramic fibers with fine grains, dense structure and flexibility.

Lamp 101, oxygen inlet 103, and concave mirror 102 are located above partition 104 to generate ozone; 254nm ultraviolet lamp 106 and atomized water inlet 105 are located below partition 104 to generate high-energy oxygen atoms and hydroxyl radicals; the space between partition 104 and 254nm ultraviolet lamp 106 is designed with a grooved flow channel to allow water molecules and ozone to react fully and obtain a high concentration of hydroxyl radicals; the hydroxyl radicals flow out from gradient outlet 107 and disperse in the fiber material, causing the ligands on the fiber to break down.
[0026] In one embodiment of the present invention, the differential transport-microwave oxygen-deficient calcination device 2 mainly includes a roller 210, a microwave device 209, an auxiliary roller 211, and an oxygen-deficient module 208. The oxygen-deficient module 208 includes an oxygen-deficient pipe 2081 and an oxygen-deficient air inlet 2082. The auxiliary roller 211 is a roller with a surface coated with a high dielectric constant material. During operation, the roller 210 applies a stretching force to the fiber material. Below the roller 210 is the microwave device 209, which is used to calcine the fiber material. Above the roller 210 is the auxiliary roller 211, and above the auxiliary roller 211 is the oxygen-deficient module 208. The oxygen-deficient module 208 is used to construct the oxygen-deficient environment in the differential transport-microwave oxygen-deficient calcination device 2.

The kinetic dissociation is difficult, and the ligand itself does not contain a conjugated aromatic ring or a rigid heterocyclic skeleton, exhibiting excellent chemical stability and forming a stable chemical structure with the metal alkoxide. The flexible, bidentate stabilizer is selected from one or more of ethylenediamine, tetramethylethylenediamine, and acetylacetone. The thermosensitive hydrogel microspheres are selected from one or more combinations of poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) hydrogel microspheres, poly(N-isopropylacrylamide-acrylic acid) hydrogel microspheres, poly(N-isopropylacrylamide-hydroxyethyl methacrylate) hydrogel microspheres, and carboxymethyl chitosan hydrogel microspheres, with the total water content of the thermosensitive hydrogel microspheres being 5-20 wt% of the metal alkoxide monomer mass.

[0030] In one embodiment of the present invention, in step S2, the preparation process of the hydroxyl radical is as follows: First, oxygen molecules in the air are cracked using parallel ultraviolet light in the 185nm band to obtain ground-state oxygen atoms, which then react with oxygen to generate oxygen species such as ozone. Next, ultraviolet light in the 254nm band causes these oxygen species to further combine with water molecules in the air to generate hydroxyl radicals with higher cracking ability. The hydroxyl radicals are then transported into the fiber material to cause the ligands to crack and thus remove the ligands, obtaining the ligand-free inorganic nanofiber material with a ligand removal rate ≥95%.

The fiber softness is tested according to the standard "GB / T8942-2016 Determination of Softness of Paper Towels". The grain size is calculated by X-ray diffraction data according to the Scherrer formula D=Kλ / (βcosθ), where K is a constant, λ is the X-ray wavelength, β is the half-width at half-maximum of the diffraction peak, and θ is the diffraction angle. In the above formula, the value of the constant K is related to the definition of β. When β is the half-width at half-maximum, K is 0.89; when β is the integral width, K is 1.0.
[0035] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

Unless otherwise specified, the functional components or structures are conventional components or structures used in the art to achieve the corresponding functions.
[0036] Example 1 This embodiment provides a method for pretreatment and calcination of ceramic nanofibers based on electrospinning of titanium-oxygen molecular chains.
[0037] Terephthalic acid was diluted with toluene at a ratio of 1:10. Then, under argon atmosphere, at -5°C, and with a stirring speed of 500 rpm / min, the diluted solution was added dropwise to tetrabutyl titanate. Terephthalate groups were used as intermediates to link the titanium alkoxide monomers. Then, ethylenediamine was added to replace the remaining active groups of the titanium alkoxide, forming a linear pre-coordinated framework for the titanium alkoxide. The linear pre-coordinated framework solution contained 30 wt% tetrabutyl titanate, 4 wt% ethylenediamine, 6 wt% terephthalic acid, and 60 wt% toluene. Further water was added to the poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) hydrogel microspheres, with a total amount of 10 wt% of the metal alkoxide monomer. The solution was then subjected to ultrasonic treatment for 15 min at a power of 50 kHz and a temperature of 30 °C. This process ensured uniform heating and dispersion of the microspheres, releasing water molecules uniformly into the solution. This caused the linear preligand to undergo hydrolysis-condensation polymerization to obtain low-polymerization linear inorganic molecular chains. In this embodiment, the poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) hydrogel microspheres were prepared using 3.8 g of N-isopropylacrylamide and 0.066 g of N,N-methylenebisacrylamide. Amine and 0.15g sodium dodecyl sulfate were dissolved in 240ml of water and stirred continuously for 1 hour. The reaction solution was then purified by blowing with N2 for 40 minutes to remove oxygen. The purified reaction solution was then placed in a 70°C water bath. 0.166g ammonium persulfate was dissolved in 10ml of water and added to the above solution to initiate an emulsification polymerization reaction for 4 hours. After the reaction, the solution was cooled to room temperature. Purification was then performed by dialysis using distilled water and electric field dialysis, respectively. The prepared microspheres had a particle size of 5μm, a water content of up to 90%, and a response temperature of 32°C. Further addition of 5 wt% of dichlorodicyclopentadiene titanium by the metal alkoxide monomer allows the low-polymerization-degree linear inorganic molecular chain to complete the chain extension reaction. Then, 5 wt% of 4-azidobenzoic acid by the metal alkoxide monomer is added to terminate the chain extension reaction, thereby obtaining a linear inorganic long chain with controllable molecular weight. The solution was further concentrated by negative pressure suction to produce a high-concentration linear inorganic long-chain sol, and precursor nanofiber materials were prepared by electrospinning technology.

[0039] Hydroxyl radicals are formed sequentially under 185nm and 254nm ultraviolet light irradiation. The 185nm ultraviolet light source is an excimer light source, and the 254nm ultraviolet light source is a low-pressure mercury lamp. The power of the ultraviolet lamp is 50mW / cm². 2 ; Subsequently, hydroxyl radicals are dispersed into the fiber material through outlets with progressively increasing widths of 3 cm, causing the ligands in the fiber to cleave and thus removing the ligands, resulting in ligand-free inorganic nanofiber material.
