Despite the fact that doping nanoparticles into insulating transformer oil has proven to be an effective method of enhancing its dielectric and electrical properties, it remains unclear how different types and surface conditions of nanoparticles may affect their dielectric and electrical properties. Therefore, the effect of doping various types of BN nanoparticles (nanosphere, nanotube, and nanosheet) in insulating mineral oil (MO) on the diffusion properties of water molecules and electrical properties across the BN/MO interface was investigated using molecular dynamics (MD) and Density Functional Theory (DFT) simulations. Our results show that different surface morphology and grafted functional groups in different types of BN nanoparticles have a significant impact both on the water diffusion behavior and the interfacial potential barrier across the interface between BN and MO. In the MO system directly doped by BN nanospheres, water diffusion behavior is not significantly restricted. However, grafting -NH2 polar groups onto the BN nanoparticle surface may significantly limit the diffusion behavior of water due to the strong attraction between the -NH2 polar groups and water molecules; the most significant effect is with nanospheres, followed by nanotubes and nanosheets. In terms of electrical properties across the interface between BN and MO, the h-BN surface (derived from BN nanosheets and nanotubes) acts as a trap for electrons in MO (−0.59 eV), while the c-BN surface (derived from BN nanospheres) acts as a potential barrier for electrons in MO (1.45 eV), and it is noteworthy that the presence of water molecules near the interface between BN and MO has little impact on the potential barriers. Advancing a fundamental understanding of the electrical and water diffusion properties of MO in correlation with the surface morphology of different types of nanoparticles is key to improving the insulation properties of oil-impregnated power transformers. |
