Solution Overview

Problem

New materials synthesized under high pressure cannot be conveniently studied and applied in practice due to their dependence on high-pressure devices, as they revert to atmospheric pressure and lose their high-pressure structure and properties.

Innovation Solution

A method involving mixing a carbon material with a target material, subjecting it to high-temperature and high-pressure treatment, and transforming the carbon material into diamond to create a diamond high-pressure chamber that can be detached from the device, preserving the high-pressure state.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If materials are synthesized under high pressure using conventional high-pressure devices, then new materials with excellent properties can be obtained, but the materials cannot be preserved at atmospheric pressure and must remain dependent on high-pressure devices

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvestability of high-pressure stateVSAvoiddetachability from high-pressure device
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The invention encapsulates the high-pressure state material within a diamond high-pressure chamber that is synthesized in-situ. The carbon material forms a diamond structure that nests and contains the target material, creating a self-contained high-pressure environment that can be detached from the conventional high-pressure device while preserving the material's high-pressure state.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #7Nested doll (Nesting)

Solution Approach 2:

The invention utilizes high-temperature and high-pressure treatment to transform carbon material into diamond, fundamentally changing the physical state and properties of the carbon. This parameter change creates a stable diamond high-pressure chamber that can maintain the encapsulated material in its high-pressure state even after detachment from the synthesis device.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Stability of the object's composition

If carbon material is transformed into diamond through high-temperature and high-pressure treatment, then a stable diamond high-pressure chamber is formed, but the synthesis process requires complex high-pressure device operation

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvestructural stability of diamond chamberVSAvoidcomplexity of high-pressure device
Core Design Contradiction:
Stability of the object's compositionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The invention employs a self-service mechanism where the carbon material itself serves as both the structural framework and the pressure-maintaining element. The carbon transforms into diamond under the applied high-pressure treatment, automatically forming a stable chamber structure without requiring additional complex containment systems or post-synthesis assembly procedures.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

3Adaptability or versatility

If high-pressure state materials are synthesized, then new properties and structures are achieved, but the materials undergo reversible changes upon depressurization and cannot be applied at atmospheric pressure

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveapplicability at atmospheric pressureVSAvoidpreservation of high-pressure structure
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSStability of the object's composition

Solution Approach 1:

The invention performs preliminary encapsulation of the target material within the carbon matrix before the high-pressure treatment. This preliminary action ensures that when the high-pressure transformation occurs, the target material is already positioned and protected within the forming diamond structure, allowing it to maintain its high-pressure state upon detachment and enabling subsequent atmospheric pressure applications.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

AI summary

The present invention relates to the field of materials, in particular to a method for preparing a high-pressure state material that can be detached from a high-pressure device. The method comprising: placing a carbon material and a target material into a high-pressure device, and subjecting the resultant to high-temperature and high-pressure treatment to obtain a diamond high-pressure chamber containing a high-pressure state material inside. The present invention enables the high-pressure state material (including the substance and its pressure state) to be preserved inside the diamond high-pressure chamber by mixing the carbon material and the target material and placing into the sample chamber of a conventional high-pressure device, and then transforming the carbon material into diamond using the high-temperature and high-pressure treatment. The diamond high-pressure chamber can be separated from the conventional high-pressure device and maintain the high-pressure state inside, thus allowing the high-pressure material to be studied and applied in an atmospheric pressure environment.
