The invention discloses a high-entropy
rare earth cerate
ceramic coating for shielding neutrons and X-rays and a preparation method of the high-entropy
rare earth cerate
ceramic coating, and belongs to the technical field of
radiation protection materials. The general formula of the
chemical composition of the
coating is (Sm < 0.2 > Gd < 0.2 > Er < 0.2 > Tm < 0.2 > Yb < 0.2 >) 2Ce2O7, and the coating has an A2B2O7 type
pyrochlore or defective
fluorite structure.
A site is formed by atomic-scale mixing of five
rare earth elements including Sm, Gd, Er, Tm and Yb, the
molar content of each element is 5%-35%, and
neutron and X-
ray shielding functions are synergistically exerted through high-entropy design; and B site is
Ce element. The preparation method comprises the following steps: proportioning corresponding oxides in proportion, performing ball milling, performing high-temperature
sintering to synthesize high-entropy
ceramic powder, performing
spray drying granulation, and performing deposition on the surface of a matrix treated by the NiCoCrAlY bonding layer by adopting an atmospheric
plasma spraying technology to form the coating. Atomic-scale uniform distribution of multiple functional elements is achieved through high entropy, a shielding blind area of a traditional
composite material is eliminated, and the coating has the advantages of efficient cooperative shielding, excellent anti-
radiation stability and environment friendliness and is suitable for
radiation protection in the fields of
aerospace, nuclear energy,
medical treatment and the like.
