During vacuum sintering, the pore-forming agents decompose upon heating, releasing gases and leaving interconnected channels in the Ti-Mo metal powder sintered body. In the subsequent heat treatment of composite microparticles, hydride metal particles such as titanium dihydrogenide, yttrium hydride, and cerium hydride undergo partial dehydrogenation or structural rearrangement, forming fine pores, microcracks, and rough interfaces inside the microparticles. This results in a multi-level porous structure where macroscopic channels of the Ti-Mo framework, interparticle gaps of composite microparticles, and hydride dehydrogenation-induced micropores coexist. This increases the specific surface area of the material and allows hydrogen to enter the material more smoothly and contact more gas-absorbing active sites, providing a structural basis for subsequent high specific gas absorption rates and specific gas absorption volumes.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of air-getting materials technology, and specifically to a method for preparing a high specific surface area metal-based composite air-getting material. Background Technology
[0002] Getter materials are a class of functional materials that can absorb residual gases such as hydrogen, oxygen, carbon monoxide, and water vapor in the environment. They are widely used in vacuum electronic devices, optoelectronic devices, microelectronic packaging, vacuum insulation devices, and high vacuum systems. Among them, non-evaporative metal getter materials have become an important type of getter material due to their characteristics such as no evaporation pollution during use, good structural stability, and reactivation.
[0003] There are already published patents proposing zirconium-based non-evaporable getters and their preparation methods. For example, Chinese patent CN111621671B involves a zirconium-based non-evaporable getter comprising the following components by mass percentage: 60%-80% zirconium, 5%-25% vanadium, 2%-15% iron, 2%-15% titanium, and 2%-10% aluminum. This getter is obtained by mixing zirconium, vanadium, iron, titanium, and aluminum evenly, heating to liquefaction and holding at that temperature for at least 30 minutes, then cooling, crushing, ball milling, and sieving to obtain a sample smaller than 200 micrometers. This getter has better antioxidant properties than traditional low-temperature activated zirconium vanadium iron getters, a higher combustion point than zirconium vanadium iron getters, and better getter performance than zirconium vanadium iron getter alloys. It is more conducive to the application of medium and high temperature vacuum devices and fills the gap in medium-temperature getters activated at 500℃-800℃.
[0004] However, the disclosed patent mainly focuses on the control of alloy composition and powder pressing molding. For conventional pressed and sintered metal getter materials, if the material pore structure is insufficient and the gas diffusion channels are limited, it is easy to result in a low effective specific surface area and insufficient exposure of active sites. In particular, it is difficult to obtain the ideal getter rate and getter volume at low activation temperatures. At the same time, when the powder particle size is reduced or the active phase loading is increased in order to improve the getter performance, it is easy to cause insufficient bonding strength between particles, resulting in powder shedding, falling off or dust contamination during transportation, assembly or use, which affects the reliability of vacuum devices. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a method for preparing a high specific surface area metal-based composite air-getting material, which solves the technical problem that the specific surface area, air-getting performance, activation temperature and anti-powdering and weight loss performance of metal-based composite air-getting materials in the prior art need to be further improved.
[0006] The objective of this invention can be achieved through the following technical solution: a method for preparing a high specific surface area metal-based composite air-getting material, comprising the following steps:
[0007] S1. After mixing the metal hydride raw material with polyvinylpyrrolidone and anhydrous ethanol, the mixture is dispersed by ball milling under argon protection and then spray granulated to obtain hydride metal particles.
[0008] S2. Composite microparticles are prepared by combining hydride metal particles, zirconium vanadium alloy powder, and amorphous alloy powder.
[0009] S3. After mixing and stirring terpineol, ethyl cellulose and anhydrous ethanol for 20-30 minutes, add composite microparticles and stir and disperse for 60-80 minutes to obtain impregnation slurry;
[0010] S4. The impregnation slurry is introduced into the porous Ti-Mo support skeleton through vacuum impregnation. After centrifugation to remove excess impregnation slurry from the pores and drying, the impregnated modified support skeleton is obtained.
[0011] S5. The impregnated modified support skeleton is subjected to thermal pulse treatment under vacuum conditions to obtain a metal-based composite air-getting material blank; then the metal-based composite air-getting material blank is subjected to low-temperature activation treatment in an oxygen-containing inert atmosphere to obtain the high specific surface area metal-based composite air-getting material.
[0012] Furthermore, the fabrication of the porous Ti-Mo support framework includes the following steps:

Under an inert gas atmosphere, ammonium bicarbonate, polyvinyl alcohol and deionized water are mixed and stirred until dissolved, then titanium powder and molybdenum powder are added, and the mixture is stirred and dispersed at room temperature for 2-3 hours to obtain the skeleton mixture.
[0014] A2. The skeleton mixture is loaded into a mold and pressed into a circular blank under a pressure of 350-360MPa; then vacuum sintering is performed to obtain a porous Ti-Mo support skeleton.
[0015] Further, in step A1, the ratio of ammonium bicarbonate, polyvinyl alcohol, deionized water, titanium powder, and molybdenum powder is 6-7g:1.1-1.3g:20mL:95-100g:8-9g, the particle size of the titanium powder is 20-50μm, and the particle size of the molybdenum powder is 8-12μm; in step A2, the vacuum sintering operation includes: placing the circular blank in a vacuum furnace, heating it to 120-130℃ at a vacuum degree of 1-5Pa at a rate of 2℃ / min and holding it for 60-80min, then heating it to 280-300℃ at a rate of 1℃ / min and holding it for 160-180min, then heating it to 900℃ at a rate of 10℃ / min and holding it for sintering for 20-30min, and then discharging it after natural cooling to obtain a porous Ti-Mo support skeleton.
[0016] Furthermore, the metal hydride raw materials include titanium dihydrogenide, yttrium hydride, and cerium hydride; the ratio of titanium dihydrogenide, yttrium hydride, cerium hydride, polyvinylpyrrolidone, and anhydrous ethanol is 40g:10-12g:5-7g:3-4g:500mL.
[0017] Furthermore, the ball-to-material ratio for ball milling dispersion is 15-20:1, the ball milling speed is 500 r / min, and the ball milling time is 2-3 h; the abrasive used in ball milling includes 316L stainless steel grinding balls with a diameter of 3 mm and 316L stainless steel grinding balls with a diameter of 5 mm, and the weight ratio of the two is 1:3-4; after ball milling, hydride metal particles with a particle size of 5-12 μm are obtained by spray granulation.
[0018] Furthermore, the method for preparing the composite microparticles is as follows: under the protection of an inert gas atmosphere, hydride metal particles, zirconium vanadium alloy powder and amorphous alloy powder are added to a mechanical fusion machine, the reaction system is heated to 430-450℃, stirred and dispersed for 80-100 min and then cooled naturally, and composite microparticles with a particle size of 1-5 μm are obtained by sieving.
[0019] Furthermore, the weight ratio of the hydrogenated metal particles, zirconium-vanadium alloy powder, and amorphous alloy powder is 5-6:35-38:2-3.
[0020] Furthermore, the ratio of terpineol, ethyl cellulose, anhydrous ethanol and composite microparticles is 13-15g:1-2g:50-60mL:18-22g.
[0021] Furthermore, the vacuum degree during vacuum impregnation is 30-100 Pa, and the pressure holding time is 3-5 min; the solid-liquid ratio of the porous Ti-Mo support skeleton to the impregnation slurry is 1:10-15; after impregnation, it is centrifuged at 800-1000 r / min for 30-50 s, and dried at 60-70℃ for 30-50 min under inert atmosphere protection; the vacuum impregnation, centrifugation and drying operations are repeated twice.
[0022] Furthermore, the thermal pulse treatment operation is as follows: the impregnated modified support skeleton is placed in a vacuum sintering furnace with pulse current assisted heat treatment, the vacuum is evacuated to 1-5 Pa, the temperature is increased to 150-160℃ at 2℃ / min and held for 60-80 min, the temperature is increased to 280-300℃ at 1℃ / min and held for 100-120 min, and then the temperature is increased to 420-450℃ at 10-15℃ / min and held for 10-20 min; pulse current is applied in multiple holding stages, the on / off ratio of the pulse current is 12:2, and the current density is 30-50 A / cm².
[0023] Furthermore, the low-temperature activation treatment is carried out in an argon-oxygen mixture with an oxygen volume fraction of 0.2-0.5%, at an activation temperature of 80-90°C, and for an activation time of 20-30 minutes.
[0024] The present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0025] 1. This invention uses ammonium bicarbonate and polyvinyl alcohol as pore-forming agents. During vacuum sintering, the pore-forming agents decompose upon heating, releasing gases and leaving interconnected channels in the Ti-Mo metal powder sintered body. In the subsequent heat treatment of composite microparticles, hydride metal particles such as titanium dihydrogenide, yttrium hydride, and cerium hydride undergo partial dehydrogenation or structural rearrangement, forming fine pores, microcracks, and rough interfaces inside the microparticles. This results in a multi-level porous structure where macroscopic channels of the Ti-Mo framework, interparticle gaps of composite microparticles, and hydride dehydrogenation-induced micropores coexist. This increases the specific surface area of the material and allows hydrogen to enter the material more smoothly and contact more gas-absorbing active sites, providing a structural basis for subsequent high specific gas absorption rates and specific gas absorption volumes.
[0026] 2. This invention uses zirconium-vanadium alloy powder as the main gas-absorbing active phase. During vacuum activation, the surface passivation layer gradually thins, oxygen migrates inward, and the metal active sites are gradually exposed. At the same time, the defects, cavities, and cracks generated by the hydride metal particles during heat treatment and activation provide more pathways for hydrogen diffusion, making it easier for hydrogen to reach the interior of the zirconium-vanadium active phase. Moreover, the zirconium-vanadium gas-absorbing active phase is distributed adjacent to the microporous structure induced by hydrides and is embedded in the Ti-Mo framework channels, reducing the activation temperature of the material, thereby obtaining high hydrogen absorption performance at a lower activation temperature.
[0027] 3. This invention promotes the entry of composite microparticles into the internal channels of the framework through vacuum impregnation, and then removes excess slurry from the pore openings and surface by centrifugation, avoiding the formation of a loose accumulation layer of active powder on the surface. During the thermal pulse treatment, the amorphous alloy powder plays a role in metal bonding and interface fixation at the particle contact points, promoting the formation of local bonding between composite microparticles and between composite microparticles and Ti-Mo pore walls. The resulting product forms a composite structure with a metal framework support, active microparticles embedded in the channels, and local sintering fixation at the interface. This allows the material to have a high specific surface area and a high active phase loading, while also being able to withstand the stress when the material is subjected to vibration or friction, avoiding powder shedding in the metal-based composite getter material and improving the mechanical strength of the composite getter material.

After activation at 320℃, the specific uptake rate of the metal-based composite getter material for hydrogen reached 0.67-0.70 mL / (s·mg), and the specific uptake capacity reached 11.0-11.9 Pa·L / mg. After activation at 380℃, the specific uptake rate of the metal-based composite getter material for hydrogen reached 2.32-2.36 mL / (s·mg), and the specific uptake capacity reached 21.9-22.2 Pa·L / mg.
