[论文解读] Synthesis of Three-Dimensionally Interconnected Hexagonal Boron Nitride Networked Cu-Ni Composite
本研究通过两步法实现了三维互连六方氮化硼(3Di-hBN)网络在铜镍复合材料中的原位合成:首先将铜镍粉末(70 wt.% Cu,30 wt.% Ni)压制成致密预成型体,随后在1000°C下进行金属有机化学气相沉积(MOCVD)。该方法使hBN在铜镍界面及孔隙内实现成核与生长,形成连续、机械与热稳定性优异的3Di-hBN网络,显著提升复合材料的耐久性,并可提取泡沫状hBN,适用于生物医学与能源应用。
A three-dimensionally interconnected hexagonal boron nitride (3Di-hBN) networked Cu-Ni (3Di-hBN-Cu-Ni) composite was successfully synthesized in situ using a simple two-step process which involved the compaction of mixed Cu-Ni powders (70 wt.% Cu and 30 wt.% Ni) into a disc followed by metal-organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) process at 1000{\\deg}C. During MOCVD, the Cu-Ni alloy grains acted as a template for the growth of hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) while decaborane and ammonia were used as precursors for boron and nitrogen, respectively. Boron and nitrogen atoms diffused into the Cu-Ni solution during the MOCVD process, precipitated out and grew along the Cu-Ni interfaces upon cooling. It was demonstrated that pores were generated during the sintering process and then filled by bulk hBN during the MOCVD process (indicated by energy dispersive spectroscopy) as the pores also served as catalytic sites for the nucleation and growth of hBN. Optical microscopy examination indicated that there was a minimum amount of bulk hBN at certain compaction pressure (280 MPa) and sintering time (30 min). Scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy revealed that the interconnected network of hBN layers surrounding the Cu-Ni grains was developed in the 3Di-hBN-Cu-Ni composite. This 3Di-hBN network is expected to enhance the resistance of the 3Di-hBN-Cu-Ni composite against mechanical, thermal and chemical attacks. Moreover, foam-like 3Di-hBN was extracted from 3Di-hBN-Cu-Ni composite which could be further applied in the fields of biomedicine and energy storage.
