Ceramic electrode material and element for biomedical research and clinical application
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of functional ceramic materials, and particularly relates to a dielectric ceramic material for a capacitor and a preparation method thereof.
Background
Biomedical research shows that under The action of an alternating current electric field, if a proper electric field frequency is selected, The electric field can selectively promote partial cell rotation due to charged ions in cells [ The Journal of membrane biology, vol.67, pp13-26,1982 ]. This is because, under the action of an external electric field, charged ions undergo local short-range migration, and an electric field-induced electric dipole is generated in the cell, and the electric dipole can rotate under the action of the external field, rotating together with the cell.
The electric moment direction of a single electric dipole is from negative charge to positive charge, and when the direction of an external electric field is perpendicular to the electric moment direction of the electric dipole, the electric field can most effectively induce the electric dipole to rotate. The electric field along the x-x direction in fig. 1 can more effectively induce dipole rotation in the figure. Conversely, since the electric field along the y-y direction is parallel to the electric dipole direction, the electric field can change the length of the dipole, but does not contribute to the rotation of the electric dipole.
Figure 2 illustrates differently oriented electrical dipoles within a carrier. In order to increase the rotating effect for the electric dipoles with different orientations, at least two pairs of electrodes perpendicular to each other (along the x direction and along the y direction in fig. 2) should be applied, and the two pairs of electrodes are sequentially energized by intermittent loading to induce the maximum amount of electric dipole rotation.
In biomedical and clinical applications in particular, if an electric field is applied directly to the human body using metal electrodes, migration of charged mineral ions within the human body's cells occurs under the effect of a conducted current, resulting in a change in the concentration of ions within the cells, which is harmful to the human body [ PNAS, vol.104, pp10152-10157,2007 ]. In addition, because high conduction current is directly related to the life safety of human bodies, the metal electrodes are used for applying electric fields to carry out medical research and treatment, the voltage cannot be too high, and the applied voltage is limited.
According to the physical principle, the pure capacitor is insulated for conducting current and is conducted for an alternating current electric field, so that in the experiment of clinically applying alternating voltage, if the insulated ceramic capacitor is used as an electrode to apply the alternating voltage, the conducting current in a human body can be avoided, and the side effect of the conducting current on cells is avoided. In addition, in general treatment, an electric field applied to a human body through the capacitive electrode is localized, and only the localized region is subjected to the electric field. Due to the insulating nature of the capacitor, no current is conducted through the body region to which the electric field is applied. Compared with a metal conductor electrode, the insulated capacitor electrode has higher safety.
Biomedical experiments have shown that the growth of specific abnormal cells can be effectively inhibited by applying alternating voltage through insulated capacitor electrodes at specific alternating frequency [ Cancer Research, vol.64, pp3288-3295,2004; PNAS, vol.104, pp10152-10157,2007 ].
Figure 3 illustrates a parallel plate capacitor with three dielectric layers. Wherein S1 and S2 are metal plates of the capacitor. A, B and C are three layers of dielectric material layers which are parallel to each other. And the electric field intensity distribution of each layer A, B, C is inversely proportional to the dielectric constant of each dielectric layer [ general physics, advanced school teaching materials, second volume, 5 th edition, engineering conservation, Youth code of Jiang, page 123 ]. If A is chosen, the dielectric constant of the C two layers is much greater than that of the B layer. The electric field formed in the capacitor by the applied voltage V can be concentrated mainly in the B layer having a small dielectric constant, while the electric field in both a and C layers is very small. Thus, in the circuit of fig. 3, the two layers a and C have the same effect as two capacitor electrodes. Based on the above principle, there have been cases of applying an alternating current electric field by using an insulated capacitor electrode to perform biomedical and clinical experiments in foreign countries. Their preferred dielectric material is a ferroelectric ceramic material of the PMN-PT (lead magnesium niobate titanate material system) family, which corresponds to a relative dielectric constant greater than 5000. At a specific electric field frequency, the electric field is effective in inhibiting tumor cell growth in animals and humans [ PNAS, vol.104, pp10152-10157,2007 ]. The treatment effect can be further optimized by applying voltage to two pairs of electrodes in a bidirectional vertical mode and supplying power to the two pairs of electrodes in sequence in an intermittent voltage application mode [ PNAS, vol.104, pp10152-10157,2007 ].
Since the capacitive reactance of the capacitor is inversely proportional to the dielectric constant of the capacitor material [ electrotechnical, pamphlet, electronic technology, fifth edition, Qin-Zenghuang edition, page 108 ], the capacitive reactance of the capacitor made of the dielectric material with high dielectric constant is smaller. In addition, materials with high dielectric losses can generate heat under an electric field. Therefore, the material with high dielectric constant and low loss is adopted, so that the electric field can be more effectively applied to the human body part which directly needs to be researched or treated through the capacitor electrode plate with low capacitive reactance. Based on the application background, it is very urgent to find a suitable capacitor electrode made of a material with high dielectric constant to meet the requirements of domestic biomedical research or clinical application.
In general, ferroelectric materials have a high dielectric constant. PMN-PT (lead magnesium niobate-lead titanate material system) of perovskite structure is a relaxor ferroelectric material with high dielectric constant. Partially relaxed ferroelectric ceramics based on the PMN-PT system are preferred dielectric materials. [ Journal of the American Ceramic Society, vol.82, pp797-818,1999]. In order to obtain PMN-PT ceramic material with perovskite structure, MgNb which is synthesized in advance is required2O6Is used as a precursor, and then is mixed with other raw materials to synthesize the specific component of the PMN-PT with the perovskite structure.
