【摘要】 LaF3 及LaF3(掺杂)的单晶和多晶是最重要的固体电解质之一。氟的电负性为4.0,是非金属性最强元素;又由于其离子半径小和只带一个负电荷,所以在一定条件下离子的传输很快。碱金属、碱土金属的氟化物皆为离子晶体,在高温时电子导电常常可以忽略,在固体电解质中离子导电率可以接近液体的数值。LaF3及LaF3(掺杂)的单晶和多晶也具有高的离子电导率,使LaF3越来越受到人们的重视,许多科学家开始研究LaF3的性质,并发现它在诸多领域都有着广泛的应用。LaF3就被用来作为固体电解质的离子选择电极,由于其灵敏度高,操作简便、干扰较少,并能在连续自动分析中使用,颇受分析工作者的重视。它主要用于室温检测溶液中氟离子浓度。目前已研究了数十种离子选择电极,多数已得到广泛的应用。我国稀土资源丰富,微量稀土元素加入钢、铸铁和有色金属中,将改善这些材料的多种性能,这就需要对其中的稀土元素进行有效的监测。LaF3 作为固体电解质可构成稀土元素镧的成分传感器,对熔体铝或碳饱和铁液中的镧进行检测,通过电池的电动势,计算出其中镧的活度。近年来还将LaF3单晶、薄膜做成室温工作的固体电解质传感器,进行室温气体中的氟、氢、氧、一氧化碳的研究等。粉体LaF3 的制备可以采用多种方式,本实验采用沉淀法、溶胶凝胶法,微波技术等手段对合成进行了研究,通过XRD、SEM、TEM 等测试手段对产品进行了检测。溶胶凝胶法以La(CH3COO)3 、NH4F 为原料,考察了反应物浓度、搅拌强度、NH4F 溶液的滴加速度和PH 值对溶胶稳定性的影响,得到了制备溶胶的最佳工艺条件。稳定的LaF3 溶胶采用高速离心分离和微波加热干燥等方式处理,得到了粒度在300nm 下的LaF3粉体。采用双注法以La2O3、HCl 为原料合成了La2(CO3)3粉体,以La2(CO3)3为镧源与NH4F固相直接混合在微波作用下合成了LaF3超细粉;研究了不同分散剂等反应条件对合成的LaF3超细粉的粒度和纯度的影响。通过X 射线衍射(XRD)检测了不同途径合成的LaF3超细粉体的晶型和纯度;通过扫描电镜(SEM)测试不同途径合成的LaF3超细粉体颗粒的粒度和形貌。直接固相合成了纯度符合要求,平均粒度约为50nm 的LaF3超细粉。取不同粒度LaF3粉体被压片,用交流阻抗谱技术进行了测试,计算出离子的导电率。结果表明,随着LaF3粒度的变小,其离子导电率明显增大。
【Abstract】 The single crystalline and polycrystalline of LaF3 and LaF3 (mixed) are important solid electrolyte. The fluorine is most typical nonmetal element because of 4.0 electronegativity .The F-transport is very high speed under some conditions for small ion radius and one negative charge. The fluoride of alkali metals and alkaline earth metal all are ion crystal, ion conductivity of solid electrolyte next to liquid and has no electron transfer at high temperature. LaF3 solid electrolyte has been studied and found in field of application. LaF3solide electrolyte was used in ion electrode because of high sensitivity, simple operation, few trouble and continuous use .It is important use to measure ion concentration in solution .The material property will be changed when rare earth is added ,but it is also necessity to supervise its concentration. LaF3 solid electrolyte was used in component sensor of rare earth lanthanum of melting aluminium and melting iron, so that stable electromotive force is gained and activity of lanthanum can be calculated. LaF3 single crystalline and film also were used in gas sensor of fluorin , hydrogen ,oxygen and carbon monoxide at room temperature. LaF3 powder was prepared by deposition method sol-gel method and microwave heating method in the experiment. The purity and particle long were analyzed by XRD ,SEM and TEM. In the process of sol-gel method. some influence factors including concentration of La(CH3COOH)3 solution ,stirring intensity, pH value and dropping speed of NH4F to stability of LaF3 sol were studied. Under optimum condition of sol preparation, stable LaF3 sol was prepared. By seperating and microwave heating ,LaF3 superfine power below 300nm was obtained The superfine powder of La2(CO3)3 were synthesized by means of double pillar method using La2O3、HCl as raw material and LaF3 superfine powder were also synthesized by means of mixing solid La2(CO3)3 and NH4F under the microwave condition. The influence of different sattering agent to grain degree or pure degree was discussed. The crystal type and purity of LaF3 superfine powder was tested by XRD.The granularity and shape of LaF3 superfine powder was tested by SEM. LaF3 superfine powder of 50 nm was gotten in the direct solid synthesis. The ion conductivity were measured by means of impedance spectroscopy for different particle .It is result that LaF3 ion conductivity is increasing along with the particle is diminishing. The lanthanum fluoride single crystals[pure LaF3,mixed (Sm,Eu,Ga)F3 or CaF2] were prepared by means of temperature decrease at laboratory. Ionic conductivity of lanthanum fluoride single crystals made by oneself were measured by virtue of AC bridge in the range 20℃~100℃,it is same level of 10-6Scm-1.Impedance spectroscopy of lanthanum fluoride single crystals [ LaF3 mixed 1%(Sm,Eu,Ga)F3 2.05%CaF2, LaF3 mixed 0.2%EuF2 5%CaF2 ]also were measured in the range 100℃~400℃under the argon atmosphere,ionic conductivity of both single crystals is at the level of 10-4 Scm-1. The relationship between ionic conductivities of La1-XCaXF3-X singlecrystalline or polycrystalline and temperature 、gas concentration was studied. by the impedance spectroscopy technique in a range of temperature from 0~100 ℃in the SO2 atmosphere, the apparent conductive activation energy was obtained at same time. The results indicate that the ionic conductivity of the La1-XCaXF3-X in the SO2 atmosphere is higher than in the air .The conductivity is in the range of order 10-3~10-5Scm-1. The humidity sensors based on steam concentration cell were constituted by using small seramic tube of LaF3 doped with CaF2 as solid electrolyte , mixed H2C2O4-H2C2O4.2H2O or Na2SO4 -Na2SO4.10H2O as reference electrolyte, and pure water or KOH solution as working electrode . Sensitive experiment of two kind humidity sensor was investigated in the temperature ranges of 8~33℃and 6~24 ℃. The regular change was revealed between EMF and lg(PH2O(Ⅰ)/PH2O(Ⅱ))—EMF will become small along with temperature rise and EMF will become large along with work electrode PH20(Ⅰ) rise at constant temperature, there is a good liner relationship between EMF and lgPH2O(Ⅰ)/PH2O(Ⅱ) . A steam sensor composed of concentration cells has been developed using a small tube made from ZrO2 mixed with Y2O3, which was sintered to form solid electrolyte according to a certain regime. The reference electrode used was made from H2C2O4 mixedwith H2C2O4·2H2O or Na2SO4 mixed with Na2SO4·10H2O, of which either equilibrium steam pressure was given by a physic-chemical principle. It is revealed different partial pressures of steam can be obtained if adding some nonvolatile solutes into solvent. So, the other electrode for measurement was made from pure water or KOH solution of different concentrations, thus forming concentration cells for steam. Sensitivity experiments have been done separately for the cells as above in the ranges from 0 to 35℃and from 8 to 23℃. The results revealed that the EMF of cells, E, changes regularly with lg ( PH 2 O(Ι) / PH 2 O(Π)) where PH2O(Ⅰ) and PH2O(Ⅱ) are the partial pressure of steam at the electrode for measurement and at reference electrode, respectively, i.e., E decreases with increasing temperature and E increases with increasing PH 2 O(Ι) at constant temperature. A fit linear relationship is found between E and lg ( PH 2 O(Ι) / PH 2 O(Π)). The work cells of solid electrolyte LaF3 single crystalline (mixed) has been prepared with Pb-PbF2 reference electrode , Sn-SnF2 work electrode and Ag electrode wire by means of milling Pb、PbF2,Sn、SnF2 and pressing thin piece in ratio of 4:1 in a polymethyl methacrylate box of full Ar gas .this structure (+)Ag|Pb,PbF2|LaF3 single crystalline(mixed)|Sn,SnF2|Ag(-).The EMF of cell was measured in the temperature of 293.15K~353.15K .The relationships between SnF2 standard formation Gibbs free energy were calculated on the two kind of PbF2 standard formation Gibbs free energy datum as follow: f G m, SnF2( kJmol1)663.12145.42T? ?? =?+, 2( 1)675.81150.1;? f G mSnFkJ?mol? =?+T.Because the EMF measure errors are smaller than PbF2 Gibbs free energy error,sometime the difference of SnF2 standard formation Gibbs free energy in two kind of equations is very small each other , so as to get these results above are Correct. The sensors of Sn , SnF2 |LaF3 |Pt was prepared with Sn 、SnF2 reference electrode .LaF3 singlecrystalline piece and polycrystalline tube were used as solid electrolyte in the two kinds of sensors. sensitive experiments of the different concentration SO2 have been tested at the range of 303.15K~351.15K (used Ar as dilute gas ).The phenomenon was found in our experiments: the respond time of singlecrystalline sensor is shorter than polycrystalline sensor ,it is about the 5 min for singlecrystalline .The relationship between EMF and lgPSO2 or between EMF and T oftwo kinds of sensors were measured :the EMF of singlecrystalline sensor is very sensitive along with the change of temperature and concentration ;but the EMF of polycrystalline sensor is not sensitive at high temperature. The linear relationship is very good between EMF and lgPSO2 , it shows that Nernst equation is obeied under the condition of experiment . A gas sensor composed of Sn , SnF2 |LaF3(mixed) |Pt(Ni) (with Sn 、SnF2 reference electrode )has been developed using LaF3 singlecrystalline or polycrystalline . The relationship of two kinds of CO 、CO2 between the EMF and the concentration in the range of 5%~30% concentration ( Ar used as dilute gas ) 、the temperature in the range of 293.15K ~343.15K and responsetime which arrive at the cell equilibrium was respectively measured. Similar regularity was revealed that the EMF of cells to CO 、CO2 by the experimental results , changes regularly with the concentration or temperature of CO 、CO2 respectively, i.e., EMF increases with increasing the concentration under the condition of constant temperature; EMF increases with increasing temperature under the condition of constant concentration ;and EMF of singlecrystalline is higher than the polycrysyalline at same conditions. The responsetime when two kinds of gas arrived at the equilibrium is abount 2~5min.at constant temperature. LaF3solide electrolyte was used in ion electrode because of high sensitivity, simple operation, few trouble and continuous use .It is important use to measure ion concentration in solution .The material property will be changed when rare earth is added ,but it is also necessity to supervise its concentration. LaF3 solid electrolyte was used in component sensor of rare earth lanthanum of melting aluminium and melting iron, so that stable electromotive force is gained and activity of lanthanum can be calculated. LaF3 single crystalline and film also were used in gas sensor of fluorine ,hydrogen ,oxygen and carbon monoxide at room temperature.
