A team of scientists from the TPU School of Energy and Power Engineering has developed a revolutionary vacuum-free arc reactor for advanced material synthesis. The reactor's operating methods, structural elements, and software are patented, marking a significant milestone in the field of materials research. Over seven years of dedicated research, the team has created original techniques and equipment, leading to the development of a unique scientific device with no direct analogues in Russia or abroad. The pilot arc reactors are designed for industrial applications, boasting automation systems, data collection capabilities, and adaptability to industrial power networks. Unlike traditional vacuum arc reactors, the TPU device is highly efficient, consuming significantly less electricity and being more cost-effective. It is also not sensitive to feedstock purity, enabling the fast and reliable production of a wide range of materials. The TPU reactor's capabilities extend to synthesizing crucial refractory compounds like carbides and borides, including new high-entropy carbides used in hydrogen production technologies and catalyst development. This aligns with the national project 'New Materials and Chemistry' in Russia, aiming to enhance technological sovereignty and advance the country's leadership in material innovation. The reactor's flexibility allows for scientific research and educational purposes, as well as potential integration into experimental and industrial material production after relevant R&D phases. Notably, the reactor's uniqueness lies in its ability to synthesize non-oxide ceramics using an arc discharge in an open-air environment, eliminating the need for special vacuum equipment. The development of this reactor signifies a significant advancement in material synthesis techniques, offering a promising avenue for collaboration and innovation in the energy industry and beyond.
