摘要: 针对钇铝石榴石(Y3Al5O12,YAG)陶瓷高热导率限制其在热障涂层(TBCs)领域应用的问题,本研究采用固相反应法制备了Y1.2Er1.8Al5-xTixO12(x=0, 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4, 0.5)陶瓷材料,系统探究了Ti掺杂对其物相、晶格占位、元素价态、微观形貌及热导率的影响。X射线衍射结果表明,所有样品均呈现单一的YAG相。随着Ti掺杂浓度的增加,晶格常数逐渐增大,这归因于离子半径较大的Ti4+取代较小的Al3+所引起的晶格畸变。由于Ti4+与Al3+之间存在价态差异,体系中引入阳离子空位,改变了材料的缺陷结构与扩散行为。结合场发射扫描电子显微镜分析结果可知,Ti掺杂诱导形成的阳离子空位显著提高了离子扩散速率,促进烧结颈的生长与晶粒间的连接,从而显著提升陶瓷材料密度和晶粒尺寸。在离子半径差异与阳离子空位的协同散射作用下,声子散射显著增强,声子平均自由程有效降低,从而使Er2O3与TiO2双位共掺杂YAG陶瓷的热导率显著降低。其中,Y1.2Er1.8Al4.6Ti0.4O12在1100 ℃时表现出最低热导率,约为1.41 W·m-1·K-1,较纯YAG降低约29.5%。综上所述,双位共掺杂策略有效降低了YAG陶瓷的热导率,为TBCs领域新型材料的设计提供了研究思路。

Abstract: To address the intrinsically high thermal conductivity that limits the application of yttrium aluminum garnet (Y3Al5O12, YAG) ceramics in ultra-high temperature thermal barrier coatings (TBCs), a synergistic point-defect engineering strategy was proposed in this study. Using a solid-state reaction route at 1300 ℃ for 8 h, a series of Y1.2Er1.8Al5-xTixO12 (x=0, 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4, 0.5) ceramics were successfully synthesized. Subsequently, systematic investigations were conducted to explore the effects of Ti doping on phase structure, lattice occupancy, elemental valence states, micro-morphology, and thermal conductivity. Rietveld refinement of XRD patterns revealed that all samples maintained a single YAG phase. As the Ti doping concentration increased, lattice parameters exhibited an overall upward trend; however, an abnormal decrease was observed at x=0.4, which was attributed to a shift in site occupancy preference. Crystallographic analysis confirmed that Er3+ ions preferentially occupied the 24c dodecahedral sites, whereas Ti4+ ions are distributed across both 16a octahedral and 24d tetrahedral sites. Field emission scanning electron microscopy observations indicated that cation vacancies induced by Ti doping significantly enhanced atomic diffusion rates and promoted sintering neck coarsening, thereby distinctly improving material densification. Thermal conductivity measurements revealed a significantly shortened phonon mean free path, driven by the synergistic scattering effects arising from atomic mass fluctuations, ionic radius mismatches, and cation vacancies. At 1100 ℃ in particular, Y1.2Er1.8Al4.6Ti0.4O12 ceramic achieved the lowest thermal conductivity of approximately 1.41 W·m-1·K-1, representing a reduction of approximately 29.5% compared with that of pure YAG. Overall, these findings suggest that introducing strong scattering centers, specifically cation vacancies, through dual-site co-doping offers a reliable route to suppress thermal conduction in YAG ceramics, establishing a solid theoretical foundation for their practical application in extreme high-temperature environments. In summary, the dual-site co-doping strategy effectively reduces the thermal conductivity of YAG, providing a promising approach for the design and development of advanced TBCs.
