The invention discloses a high-stability magnetic liquid and a preparation method thereof, and belongs to the field of magnetic fluid nano functional materials related to ships. The magnetic liquid comprises a
metal-doped
iron oxide nano-particle core, a double-layer
surface modification layer composed of
oleic acid and a
silane coupling agent, and a composite carrier liquid formed by compounding poly-
alpha olefin synthetic oil and
perfluoropolyether and adding nano-
diamond. The preparation method comprises the following steps: firstly, coprecipitating and calcining to obtain
metal-doped
iron oxide nanoparticles, then carrying out double-layer
coating modification, and finally carrying out mixed ball milling, ultrasonic treatment and
magnetic separation purification on the
metal-doped
iron oxide nanoparticles and the composite carrier liquid. The saturation
magnetization intensity of the magnetic liquid reaches 92-95 emu / g, the magnetic liquid can work for a long time under the high-temperature working condition, the heat
conductivity coefficient is increased by 2-3 times, and the redispersibility is excellent. The problems that a traditional magnetic fluid is low in magnetic performance, prone to failure at high temperature, poor in
dispersion stability and the like are solved, and the magnetic fluid is suitable for
aerospace, high-end manufacturing, ship propulsion and other extreme scenes.
