Description

Nano amorphous in-situ synthesized silicon nitride crystal whisker
The invention relates toAnd Si3N4Preparation technology of crystal whisker, in particular to preparation of high-quality Si by in-situ synthesis of nano amorphous Si/N/C powder3N4A method of whisker.
Si3N4The whisker has light weight, high melting point, corrosion resistance, thermal shock resistance, good toughness and high-temperature strength, is a toughening and reinforcing component with various physical, chemical and mechanical properties, and can be used for toughening and reinforcing light metal (such as Al-Si)3N4(W)), ceramics (e.g.: si3N4(P)/Si3N4(W),SiC(P)/Si3N4(W)), and a polymer. The preparation method comprises the following steps: (1) carbon thermal method: the carbothermic process mainly uses SiO2(or Si-containing oxide) and solid phase C are taken as reactants, solid phase reaction is carried out at 1400-1600 ℃ in nitrogen atmosphere to generate SiO and CO gas, and the gas and N2Reaction to form Si3N4A whisker. The reaction generally needs to add FeNi or Co as catalyst in advance, Si3N4The growth of the crystal whisker is carried out through a gas-liquid-solid propagation process, namely SiO, CO and N in low-melting-point cosolvent drops formed in advance by Si, Fe and the like2Reaching a certain supersaturation degree, and making Si undergo the process of liquid-solid coagulation3N4And (4) performing directional growth. The low melting point eutectic can also be a silicate system containing silicon and oxygen, and the method has three main defects in terms of reaction process and whisker generation: (1) SiO 22Mixing with C proportionally, if it is too heavy or reaction condition changes, it will be retained in whisker to cause impurity, C is excessive, and whisker needs to be decarbonized; (2) SiO 22The dynamic process of the contact reaction with solid phase or gas-solid interface of solid particles C is slow, and the conversion rate and the preparation efficiency are influenced; (3) VLS Si of SiO + C3N4Whisker growth generally results in the head of the whisker to be left with spherical low-melting-point amorphous globules, such as FeC, silicate, the existence of which is one of the important factors influencing the structural application thereof. However, since the raw materials SiO and C of the method have low cost, the method supplies Si with relative quality in small batches3N4The main preparation technology of whiskers is now commercialized in small quantities in Japan and USA. Reaction of this methodThe formula can be expressed as:(2) silicon nitridation: the silicon nitridation is that silicon powder forms silicon steam or molten Si and N at high temperature in nitrogen atmosphere2Generating exothermic reaction, growing Si on certain cooling substrate by impurity nucleation according to VLS mechanism3N4The whisker is characterized by comprising the following reaction formula: the method has the advantages of high cost of raw material Si, low yield and certain impurities, and is limited to the laboratory research level at present. (3) Pyrolysis of silicon-containing halogen: the process is generally carried out with a silicon-halogen-containing gas or liquid, such as SiHCl3、SiHBr3、(CH3)SiCl3At NH3The pyrolysis in gas takes place in the gas phase or in the liquid phase to form intermediates such as Si (NH)4、Si3N4Adding SiO into the intermediate2And catalysts such as Fe, Ni and the like and C atmosphere are subjected to solid phase pyrolysis, and a typical reaction can be expressed as: the halogen pyrolysis method has the defects of complex process, corrosive raw materials and high impurity content in the raw materials. (4) Silicone pyrolysis method: the method generally adopts organosilane monomer or polymer thereof to pyrolyze in proper temperature and atmosphere to directly form Si3N4The whisker is prepared by pyrolyzing the whisker or an intermediate formed firstly, the method is novel, the prepared product is generally longer, also called fiber, generally contains more organic matters, and needs to be removed by subsequent heat treatment.
The invention aims to provide high-quality Si which does not need other auxiliary agents and post-treatment, has simple production process and low cost and is suitable for industrial production3N4The preparation technology of the whisker.
The invention provides a method for preparing Si3N4A method of whisker, characterized in that: Si/N/C powder is used as raw material and is pyrolyzed under nitrogen atmosphere to form Si3N4Whisker; the method is characterized by comprising the following reaction formula: the powder is composed of SiNxCyX is more than or equal to 0.1 and less than or equal to 1, y is more than or equal to 1 and less than or equal to 2, X is more than or equal to 5-10 wt% of surface adsorbed oxygen, preferably X is more than or equal to 0.4 and less than or equal to 0.6, y is more than or equal to 1 and less than or equal to 1.5, and the pyrolysis synthesis temperature is more than or equal to 6-8 wt% of: 1500-1900 ℃, the time is 0.5-4 h, and the gas pressure is preferably 1600-1800 ℃: 0.5 to 2atm
The invention is based on that the nano amorphous Si/N/C powder is a stable material mixed with Si, N and C elements at an atomic level, and is decomposed under a certain condition when Si is used3N4For phase stabilization, crystallization to form Si3N4And C is removed. The powder has small granularity, large specific surface area and strong surface oxygen adsorption characteristic, so that CO is formed by surface oxygen and in-vivo C and is released during pyrolysis, and meanwhile, SiO is released by combination of in-vivo Si and surface O. When the concentration of CO and SiO reaches a certain value, these gases will react with N2Gas-generating gas-phase reaction to form Si3N4This Si3N4Directly on pre-crystallized Si3N4Nucleation and directional growth of crystal grains, and in-situ growth of Si by gas-solid mechanism3N4A whisker. The Si/N/C powder is also the main raw material of the high-performance structural ceramic, has lower cost and a small amount of market supply, and is easy to synthesize artificially. The crystal whisker synthesized by the method has high purity and crystal whisker [ O]]<1wt%,[C]Less than 0.01 wt%, the prepared whisker is pure flocculent, the whisker length is 0.05-5 mm, the diameter is 0.1-1 μm, and the whisker is generally α phases.
