In the present invention, the electrical properties of niobium suboxide powders were tested as follows: pressing the niobium suboxide powder into the powder with the density Dg of 2.8g/cm3The green compact of (1) was vacuum-sintered at 1350 to 1460 ℃ for 10 minutes (the specific sintering temperatures used in the electrical property test of the niobium suboxide powders of examples 1 to 6 and comparative examples 1 to 3 are shown in tables 1 and 2), to obtain a sintered body. The sintered body was immersed in a 0.1 wt% phosphoric acid aqueous solution at 85 ℃ and anodized at 30V, and then measured for specific Capacitance (CV) in an 18 wt% sulfuric acid aqueous solution at 25 ℃. The leakage current (DCL) test was carried out at 21V in a 0.3 wt% phosphoric acid aqueous solution at 25 ℃ and the specific test results are shown in tables 1 and 2.
The invention has the advantages of
The niobium suboxide powder of the first aspect of the present invention contains oxygen uniformly, and has a uniform oxygen content in each particle size region. The niobium suboxide powder of the first aspect of the present invention has improved physical properties and electrical properties as described in the following items (1) to (4):
(1) lower leakage current (DCL);
(2) lower Equivalent Series Resistance (ESR);
(3) a higher specific capacitance;
(4) the powder has uniform particle size distribution and no over-sintering phenomena such as agglomeration and the like.
The inventors have found that the uniformity of the oxygen content among the niobium suboxide particles also greatly affects the uniformity of the nitrogen content of the niobium suboxide powder after nitrogen doping. The niobium suboxide has good uniformity of oxygen content in each granularity, and the niobium suboxide powder has relatively uniform nitrogen content in each granularity interval after nitrogen doping, and also has improved physical properties and electrical properties in the items (1) to (4).
The inventors have also found that when the oxygen content is extremely different between the respective particle sizes by more than 0.5 wt%, particularly by more than 1 wt%, the powder having a low oxygen content is not resistant to firing because of its niobium powder characteristic, and thus excessive sintering is likely to occur during sintering, which increases the leak current, increases the ESR, and deteriorates the stability of the dielectric film. Nb or NbO is readily present when the oxygen content is less than 14.6 wt% or greater than 15.4 wt%2In addition, the properties of the niobium monoxide powder are also easily deteriorated.
In one embodiment, the niobium suboxide powder containing uniform oxygen provided by the invention contains uniform oxygen, the extreme difference of the oxygen content is below 0.5 wt%, the standard deviation of a sample is below 0.5 wt%, the oxygen content is between 14.6 wt% and 15.4 wt%, the oxygen content is moderate, the composition of the niobium suboxide powder is closer to NbO, and the niobium suboxide powder can reflect the characteristics of niobium monoxide. The bulk density of the niobium suboxide powder provided by the invention is preferably 0.7-1.3 g/cm3In the meantime.
The low-valence niobium oxide powder containing uniform oxygen has greatly improved electrical performance indexes such as leakage current, ESR and the like, and is beneficial to molding and sintering during anode manufacturing.
