Magnetic refrigeration material and preparation method and application thereof
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of magnetic refrigeration materials, in particular to a magnetic refrigeration material and a preparation method and application thereof.
Background
When an external magnetic field is changed, a ferromagnetic or paramagnetic material is accompanied by the change of the order degree of magnetic moments, that is, the magnetic entropy changes, so that the material itself absorbs or releases heat, which is called a magnetocaloric effect. When no external magnetic field exists, the directions of magnetic moments in the material are disordered, and the magnetic entropy of the material is larger; when an external magnetic field is applied, the orientations of the magnetic moments in the material gradually tend to be consistent, and the magnetic entropy of the material is smaller. One class of materials having a magnetocaloric effect is called magnetic refrigeration materials, and magnetic refrigeration technology is a new technology for achieving refrigeration using the magnetocaloric effect of materials.
In the process of excitation, the magnetic moment of the magnetic material is changed from disorder to order along the direction of a magnetic field, the magnetic entropy is reduced, and the thermodynamic principle shows that the magnetic working medium releases heat outwards at the moment; in the demagnetizing process, the magnetic moment of the magnetic material is changed from order to disorder along the magnetic field direction, the magnetic entropy is increased, and at the moment, the magnetic working medium absorbs heat from the outside. Under the adiabatic condition, the magnetic working medium does not exchange heat with the external environment, and in the excitation and demagnetization processes, the magnetic field applies work to the material to change the internal energy of the material, so that the temperature of the material changes. The above is the basic principle of the magnetic refrigeration technology.
Compared with the traditional gas compression type refrigeration technology, the magnetic refrigeration technology has the advantages of environmental protection, energy conservation, high efficiency, stability, reliability and the like. Firstly, what magnetic refrigeration technology adopted is solid state refrigeration working medium, need not to use poisonous and harmful such as freon, easily leak, combustible gas, can not produce destruction and greenhouse effect scheduling problem to the ozone layer, have green, safe, the characteristics of environmental protection. And secondly, the thermodynamic process of the magnetic refrigeration generating the magnetocaloric effect is highly reversible, the intrinsic thermodynamic efficiency can reach the Carnot efficiency theoretically, the actual efficiency can reach 60-70% of the Carnot cycle efficiency, the energy is saved, the efficiency is high, and the advantages are obvious. Thirdly, the magnetic refrigeration does not need a gas compressor, and the magnetic refrigeration has the advantages of small vibration and noise, long service life, good stability and high reliability.
The magnetic refrigeration material is the basis of the magnetic refrigeration technology, and the development of the giant magnetocaloric effect material which has large magnetic entropy change, high refrigeration capacity, stability, reliability and easy mass production is the key for developing the magnetic refrigeration technology. In recent years, rare earth metal compounds have a strong magnetocaloric effect, are simple in preparation process, are suitable for large-scale production, and have become one of the focuses of research in the field of magnetic refrigeration materials. The development of a rare earth metal compound material system with giant magnetocaloric effect and the promotion of the industrial application of the magnetic refrigeration technology based on the rare earth metal compound material system are beneficial to the development of the low-temperature physics, space exploration, aerospace and other technologies in China, and are also beneficial to promoting the high-valued utilization of rare earth resources in China and improving the competitiveness and technical level of the rare earth industry in China.

However, the crystal preparation needs to be crystallized at 200-230 ℃ for 3-5 days, and then cooled to room temperature for 3-5 days, so that the product can be obtained, the preparation period is too long, the energy consumption is too large, and the crystal preparation is not suitable for large-scale industrial production.

Third, test and results
The magnetic refrigeration materials prepared in examples 1 to 8 and comparative examples 1 to 2 were subjected to phase analysis by X-ray powder diffraction using an X-ray diffractometer (XRD) model D8A a25 manufactured by Brucker.

FIG. 1 shows that the XRD patterns of the magnetic refrigeration materials in examples 1-4 are well matched with the theoretical patterns, which indicates that the magnetic refrigeration materials in examples 1-4 have high purity and are all single LiGdF4Phase composition belonging to tetragonal system and space group I41/a,α=β=γ=90°。
FIG. 2 shows that the X-ray diffraction patterns of the magnetic refrigeration materials in examples 5-8 have obvious mixed peaks near 26 degrees, which indicates that impurity phases exist in the materials, and pure-phase LiGdF cannot be obtained4
FIG. 3 shows that the X-ray diffraction patterns of the magnetic refrigeration materials in comparative examples 1-2 have obvious impurity peaks near 16 degrees and 28 degrees, which indicates that impurity phases obviously exist in the materials, and pure-phase LiGdF cannot be obtained4
In conclusion, the selection of the technical parameters of the invention has very important significance, and the phase composition of the material can be influenced by insufficient or too much LiF dosage, too low or too high sintering temperature, too short or too long sintering time and the like, so that the pure-phase magnetic refrigeration material cannot be obtained.

And the magnetic entropy change under different magnetic field changes can be calculated according to isothermal magnetization curves under different temperatures by utilizing the Maxwell relation. FIG. 7 is a relationship between magnetic entropy change and temperature of a magnetic refrigeration material in embodiment 2 of the present invention under a magnetic field change of 0.2 to 5T, and it can be seen from the graph that the maximum magnetic entropy change of the magnetic refrigeration material in embodiment 2 monotonically increases with an increase in the external magnetic field, and the maximum magnetic entropy change of the magnetic refrigeration material gradually increases with a decrease in temperature under a certain external magnetic field; the maximum magnetic entropy change values of the magnetic field change of 1.5T, 2T and 5T are respectively 20 J.kg at the temperature of 2.5K-1·K-1、29J·kg-1·K-1And 58 J.kg-1·K-1
