Key innovations
The innovation of this product lies in using waste phosphorus magnetic strip and the like as raw materials to prepare metal-coated magnetic strip whiskers to achieve high-performance non-metallic conductive materials. This significantly reduces the amount of nano metals used and solves its corrosion and oxidation problems. At the same time, it turns waste into treasure, reduces costs, is simple to operate, and has significant green and environmental protection value.
Potential economic benefits
This product significantly reduces the raw material cost of conductive materials by utilizing waste gypsum. It significantly reduces the amount of expensive nano metals, and only 20% of the metal can achieve metal-level conduction, saving a large amount of metal resources. Waste resource utilization creates additional value and reduces treatment costs.
Potential climate benefits
This technology reduces carbon emissions from waste treatment by using industrial waste such as phosphogypsum to prepare gypsum whiskers. It has significantly reduced the use of nanometals with high energy consumption and high carbon emissions in electronic products, and directly reduced the carbon footprint of related manufacturing links.

Solution details

Project introduction: Nano-metals are important materials in the electrical and electronic industries. As basic functional materials for electronic pastes such as thick films, resistors, ceramics, and dielectrics, they are an important part of applications in the electronics industry. The preparation cost of nanometals is very high, so today's research field focuses more on the preparation and application of coated composite powders that can replace nanometals to reduce the amount of nanometals. Gypsum whisker is a new type of inorganic material with high comprehensive properties. Gypsum whiskers are suitable as reinforcing components in plastics, rubber, polyurethane, metals and ceramics. After adding gypsum whiskers to plastic, the flexural elastic modulus, tensile strength, size stability and thermal distortion temperature of the product can be significantly improved. The surface of the magnetic stripe whiskers is covered with a layer of nano-particulate metal. The coated magnetic stripe whiskers have metal-like conductivity, but do not have the shortcomings of metal conductors being easily corroded or oxidized.

Main features: This project has developed a variety of methods for preparing non-metallic conductive materials with metal-coated magnetic strip whiskers. The gypsum whiskers of the project mainly come from phosphogypsum and desulfurized gypsum prepared through hydrothermal methods. The raw materials are widely and cheap, and the operation is simple, which can greatly increase the utilization rate of phosphogypsum and other wastes. The prepared non-metallic conductor material has stable properties and high electrical conductivity. The conductive effect of the metal can be achieved by coating the surface of the magnetic strip whisker with 20% metal, which greatly reduces the amount of metal used. Technical level: The technology is at the leading level in China.

Application prospects: The prepared magnetic strip whisker conductive material has a wide application prospect. It can be added to ink to prepare conductive ink materials. After adding metal-coated magnetic strip whiskers to plastic, the thermal distortion temperature will be greatly increased compared with adding magnetic strip whiskers. It can also be processed into grounding resistance reducing materials, electromagnetic shielding and antistatic materials, ground heat conduction materials, non-metallic conductor parts, etc.
