摘要:

采用在有机液体中进行金属丝电爆炸的方法制备了碳包覆纳米颗粒。以无水乙醇为介质,向高纯度锆丝中施加高压脉冲电流,金属丝在高密度电流的下迅速熔化、气化、膨胀并爆炸,伴随着高温、高压条件下碳的析出和反应、包覆过程,制备出纳米粉体颗粒,对电爆炸过程中的能量、电流、电压进行了测试和分析,通过XRD、TEM、HTEM等分析了产物特征。结果表明：产物为球状碳包覆结构的碳化锆纳米颗粒,粒径分布在10-150nm之间；在4kv、8kv、12kv电压下,产物平均粒径分别为24.9nm、41.1nm、43.9nm。最后,对碳包覆纳米ZrC颗粒的形成机理进行了初步的探讨。

Abstract:

The method of electrical explosion of metal wire in organic liquid was adopted to prepare carbon encapsulated nanoparticles. In the medium of absolute ethyl alcohol, under the high-voltage pulse current (HVPC), the high purity zirconium wire became fusion, gasification, expansion and explosion, accompanied with separating of carbon out of ethanol and reaction of carbon and zirconium, carbon encapsulated ZrC nanoparticles formed. The energy, voltage and current in the experiments were measured to analyze the influence of them on the products. The products were analyzed by X-ray diffraction technique (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and high power transmission electron microscopy (HTEM). The results show that the carbon encapsulated ZrC nanoparticles were fabricated successfully. The diameter range between 10nm-150nm. For the voltage of 4kv, 8kv and 12kv, the average size of the products is 24.9nm, 41.4nm and 43.9nm, respectively. Finally, the procedure and mechanism of fabrication of the carbon encapsulated ZrC nanoparticles were discussed preliminarily.
