Description

Silicon quantum dot boron slurry and preparation method thereof
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of photoelectric materials, and particularly relates to silicon quantum dot boron slurry and a preparation method thereof.
Background
The quantum dot is an excellent luminescent material, and has wide application prospect in the fields of light-emitting diodes, flat panel displays and the like; when the lithium ion battery is used for a lithium ion battery, the gram capacity of a negative electrode can be greatly improved, and the battery endurance can be improved; the boron slurry based on the silicon quantum dots can be used for manufacturing high-efficiency solar cells and promoting photoelectric flat networking. The invention belongs to the field of new materials and new energy.
There are also reports on silicon quantum dots, such as japan imperial corporation and suzhou jinzuchen technologies ltd, in addition to the new energy in xin. The former uses silane as raw material to produce spherical nano silicon with diameter of 20 nm; the latter uses silicon powder as raw material to produce spherical nano silicon with diameter about 50 nm.
However, in actual production, it is found that the existing silicon nanoparticle synthesis technology has many places to be improved:
1. the nanometer silicon synthesis technology of Diren takes silane as a raw material, and high-power carbon dioxide laser is used for cracking the silane to form gaseous silicon atom clusters; the nanometer silicon synthesis technology in the Jinruing morning takes silicon powder as a raw material, and the silicon powder is thermally evaporated by high-temperature plasma to form a gaseous silicon cluster; and cooling the silicon atom cluster to generate nano silicon particles. Silane and silicon powder are industrial raw materials produced from quartz sand, and the price is more expensive than that of the quartz sand.
2. The existing synthesis method of the nano silicon core-shell structure is generally completed by two or more steps. The core is typically prepared first and then the shell. The process steps are relatively complicated.
In the application field of quantum dots, the quantum dots are widely applied to the aspects of light emitting diodes and flat panel displays at present. In order to facilitate the formation of quantum dot pattern film layers, quantum dot inks are currently available for flexible printing into the desired quantum dot pattern film layers according to patterns. However, due to the characteristics of the quantum dots, the existing quantum dot ink has the defects that the quantum dots are not uniformly dispersed, the quantum dot agglomeration phenomenon is easy to occur, the poor deposition phenomenon is easy to occur, and the rheological property is not ideal, so that the printing quality of the quantum dot ink is influenced.
Nano silicon boron slurries as presently disclosed generally utilize the dispersing properties of additives to disperse monodisperse nano silicon particles in organic solvents. The existing nano silicon boron paste suitable for screen printing generally has a problem that serious epitaxial expansion often occurs when line patterns are printed on a solar cell silicon chip, lines are irregular, and the line width does not meet the requirement. The main reason is that the extension is caused by the easy flowing of nano silicon particles carried by solvent molecules. And the solar cell is subjected to a texturing process to corrode the sunlight surface of the silicon wafer into pyramids with the size of several microns so as to reduce the sunlight reflection loss. The epitaxial problem is more prominent when the current nano silicon boron slurry is printed during texturing. The printed linewidth is often two or three times the design linewidth. Although the current nano silicon boron slurry is added with a thickening agent and utilizes an organic polymer chain structure to inhibit flowing and reduce epitaxy, the effect is not ideal.

Specifically, the mass in the description of the embodiments of the present application may be in units of mass known in the chemical industry, such as μ g, mg, g, and kg.
In one aspect, the embodiment of the invention provides silicon quantum dot boron slurry. The silicon quantum dot boron slurry comprises the following components in parts by weight:
1-30 parts of silicon quantum dots
0 to 5 portions of additive
65-99 parts of a solvent.
The silicon quantum dots contained in the silicon quantum dot boron slurry and the preparation method thereof are the doped composite structure silicon quantum dots and the preparation method thereof described below, and for the sake of saving space, the doped composite structure silicon quantum dots are not described herein again. The silicon quantum dots are doped composite structure silicon quantum dots, and specifically the doped composite structure silicon quantum dots comprise a core body and a shell layer coated on the core body, wherein the core body is made of a boron-doped silicon crystal, and the shell layer is made of silicon dioxide. Thus, the silicon quantum dot is characterized by the shell layer of silicon dioxide, the silicon dioxide has stronger affinity to additive and solvent molecules generally, more stable coating is easier to form, secondary agglomeration of the silicon quantum dot is prevented, a dispersion system is stable for a long time, and deterioration conditions such as layering, deposition and the like are not easy to occur; another characteristic of the silicon quantum dot is its multiple branched chain structure. The synergistic effect among the silicon quantum dots, the solvent and the additive and the thickening effect of the multi-branch chain structure enable the components to be mutually held in a mutually-locked interaction to inhibit the fluidity of the components. In particular, silicon quantum dots are inhibited from free flowing with solvent molecules. This feature is particularly important in improving the printing precision of the silicon quantum dot boron paste. Under the premise of adding no thickening agent or extremely small amount, the silicon quantum dot boron slurry can obtain ideal viscosity and rheological property, has the characteristic of non-Newtonian fluid, and is characterized in that when a shearing force is slightly applied, the viscosity of the silicon quantum dot boron slurry is sharply reduced and then quickly becomes stable. This property makes boron pastes suitable for printing film formation, particularly for screen printing. When fine patterns (such as fine lines, small dots and the like) are printed on the silicon wafer textured surface, no serious stagnation phenomena such as epitaxy, expansion and the like occur. Thereby improving the printing precision of the silicon quantum dot boron paste on the texturing surface of the silicon wafer. When the silicon quantum dot boron paste is used, the silicon quantum dot boron paste is easy to print into a film, carbon residue is not left after a solvent is dried, and the silicon quantum dots are kept in good contact to form dense accumulation. And provides an effective continuous channel for substance transfer in subsequent application. One important application of silicon quantum dot boron slurries is in the area-selective boron doping of silicon wafers. Common doping processes include laser doping and high temperature drive-in. When the solar cell silicon wafer is subjected to boron doping by high-temperature propulsion, boron atoms are smoothly propelled from the silicon quantum dots to the silicon wafer along the continuous channel to realize boron doping of the specified area; meanwhile, the metal pollutants accumulated on the surface of the silicon chip migrate to the silicon quantum dots along the continuous channels and are accumulated in the shell silicon dioxide. Thereby effectively preventing the efficiency reduction caused by the pollution of the metal impurities to the battery piece; when the silicon wafer is doped with boron in a laser doping mode, no high-molecular thickening agent is added into the silicon quantum dot boron slurry, no carbon residue is left after drying and film forming, and no carbon impurity is introduced.
In a specific embodiment, the content of the silicon quantum dots in the silicon quantum dot boron slurry can be 5 parts, 8 parts, 10 parts, 12 parts, 15 parts, 18 parts, 20 parts, 23 parts, 26 parts, 30 parts and the like, and preferably 5-25 parts.

Wherein the amide comprises at least one of N-methyl pyrrolidone, dimethylformamide and dimethylpropionamide; the carbonate includes at least one of ethyl carbonate, propyl carbonate, bis (2,2,2 trifluoroethyl) carbonate, and fluoroethylene carbonate; the sulfoxide comprises at least one of dimethyl sulfoxide and diphenyl sulfoxide; the cyclic ethers include at least one of furan and tetrahydrofuran; the aromatic hydrocarbon includes at least one of benzene, toluene and xylene; the ketones comprise at least one of cyclohexanone, butanone and methyl isobutyl ketone; the alcohols include at least one of terpineol, lauryl alcohol, cyclopentanol, cyclohexanol, cyclododecanol, isobornyl cyclohexanol, palmityl alcohol, ethanol, isopropanol, and propylene glycol. In a preferred embodiment, the solvent is a cyclic compound, and is a mixed solvent of a protic solvent and an aprotic solvent. In a specific embodiment, the mixed solvent is cyclohexanone and isobornyl cyclohexanol, wherein isobornyl cyclohexanol may be a mixture of various isomers.

Therefore, through selection and optimization of the types and contents of the solvent, particularly the organic solvent and the high molecular additive, the non-Newtonian fluid property of the silicon quantum dot boron paste can be further improved, the dispersing performance of each component, particularly the silicon quantum dot, can be further improved, the silicon quantum dot boron paste dispersing system is more stable, the long storage time is further prolonged, the adverse phenomena of layering, deposition and the like can not occur during long-time storage, the silicon quantum dot boron paste has the advantage of long effective service cycle, no carbon residue is left after drying, the silicon quantum dot particles are well contacted, and no-hole dense accumulation is formed. And provides an effective continuous channel for substance transfer in subsequent application.

Correspondingly, the embodiment of the invention also provides a preparation method of the silicon quantum dot boron slurry. The process flow of the preparation method of the silicon quantum dot boron slurry is shown in figure 4, and comprises the following steps:
s01, measuring component silicon quantum dot boron slurry: respectively measuring the components according to the components and the content of the silicon quantum dot boron slurry;
s02, premixing raw materials to prepare coarse sand: pre-mixing the components to prepare mixed coarse mortar;
s03, grinding and refining the coarse mortar: and refining the mixed coarse mortar.
The silicon quantum dot boron slurry in the step S01 is the above silicon quantum dot boron slurry, and therefore, the components and the content of the silicon quantum dot boron slurry in the step S01 are the components and the content of the above silicon quantum dot boron slurry, and are not described herein again for the sake of brevity.
In a preferred embodiment, the silicon quantum dots are mixed with additives to wet the silicon quantum dots before the premixing treatment, and then a solvent is added to form a mixture.
The premixing process in the step S02 is to homogenize the respective components previously premixed material measured in the step S01.
In an embodiment, the pre-mixing treatment is to mix the components, preferably to mix the silicon quantum dots and the additive to wet the silicon quantum dots and then add the solvent to form a mixture at a revolution speed of 600-; the rotation speed is 300-1000rpm, preferably 300-1000rpm, more preferably 500-800rpm, more preferably 550-650rpm, specifically 600rpm, and the stirring and mixing time is 2-10 minutes, preferably 4-10 minutes. Through the premixing treatment, all the components are fully and uniformly mixed to prepare the coarse mortar easy for pipeline transportation. In addition, the pre-mixing process can be carried out, but not exclusively, in a planetary mixer.
In the step S03, the coarse mortar is refined by selecting a proper grinding process condition and dispersing and agglomerating by utilizing a grinding shearing action, so that the number of branched chains of the silicon quantum dots is controllably reduced or the length of the branched chains is shortened. As the fineness of the mortar is gradually reduced along with the grinding, the viscosity is increased at first and then slowly reduced. If the fineness or the viscosity is abnormal, the grinding process condition is adjusted and the auxiliary agent is replaced. The optimized grinding and refining process plays a decisive role in the viscosity and rheological property of the silicon quantum dot boron slurry, and enables the components to act on the basis of further uniform dispersion of the components, such as organic solvent or additive can be effectively adsorbed on the surface of the silicon quantum dot, and the silicon quantum dot is refined, so that the phenomenon of secondary agglomeration of the silicon quantum dot is avoided, a stable dispersion system is formed, the dispersion system of the silicon quantum dot boron slurry has long storage time, and adverse phenomena such as layering and deposition do not occur in long-time storage, and the silicon quantum dot boron slurry has the advantage of long effective service cycle. In one embodiment, the refining treatment is to grind the mixed coarse mortar until the fineness and viscosity of the coarse mortar reach target values. As in the specific embodiment, the fineness is less than or equal to 1 micron. Preferably, the refining treatment is to add 1 part of silicon nitride beads with a diameter of 2mm and 10 parts of silicon nitride beads with a diameter of 0.2mm into the grinding chamber, and the total volume of the grinding beads accounts for two thirds of the volume of the chamber of the sand mill. The rotation speed of the sand mill is 900-2000rpm, such as 1500 rpm. Pumping the raw material from the material tank into the grinding chamber via a silicone tube by using a peristaltic pump, then returning the raw material tank, and repeatedly circulating for about 60-240 minutes until the fineness of the slurry is less than 1 micron, and stopping grinding.
In one embodiment, the viscosity of the refining treatment is 8000-.
In a further embodiment, after step S03, the following steps shown in fig. 4 are included:
s04, adjusting viscosity: adding a thickening agent or a solvent to adjust the viscosity to a preferable range, and uniformly mixing;
s05, collecting and packaging: and collecting the finished product of the silicon quantum dot boron slurry, and packaging according to requirements to finish quality detection.
In step S04, the viscosity of the system is adjusted to the target range by adding proper amount of thickener or solvent. The grinding cycle is continued for 10-20 minutes to complete the homogenization process.
In the step S05, when the fineness and the viscosity of the silicon quantum dot boron slurry meet the requirements, finished product collection and packaging are carried out, and quality detection is completed.
Therefore, the preparation method of the silicon quantum dot boron slurry carries out mixing refining and pulping treatment according to the components contained in the silicon quantum dot boron slurry, so that the components are fully mixed and interact to form the non-Newtonian fluid, the contained silicon quantum dots are uniformly dispersed, secondary agglomeration is effectively avoided, a stable dispersion system is formed for dispersion, the adverse phenomena of layering, deposition and the like can not occur during long-time storage, and the preparation method has the advantage of long effective service cycle. In addition, the preparation method of the silicon quantum dot boron slurry has simple process steps and controllable process conditions of each step, thereby ensuring the stable performance of the prepared silicon quantum dot boron slurry.
On the other hand, the embodiment of the invention provides a preparation method of the silicon quantum dot, namely the silicon quantum dot with the doped composite structure.
As the existing technology for preparing silicon quantum dots by generally preparing silicon nano particles based on high-temperature plasmas generally utilizes the heat energy of plasmas to generate gaseous Si atomic clusters by thermally cracking silane or thermally evaporating silicon powder, and then the gaseous Si atomic clusters are cooled and solidified into fine silicon crystals to form the silicon nano particlesThe cost of silicon powder and the like is high, so that the cost for preparing the silicon quantum dots is high, and only the first-time silicon quantum dots can be prepared. However, the current high temperature plasma technology is not suitable for quartz Sand (SiO)2) And silicon monoxide (SiO)x) And preparing the silicon quantum dots by using substances with high oxidation states as raw materials.
Based on the problems of the existing technology for preparing silicon nanoparticles by using high-temperature plasma, the embodiment of the invention provides an improved method for preparing silicon nanoparticles by using plasma, so that silicon quantum dots with core-shell structures can be prepared in one step. The preparation method of the doped composite structure silicon quantum dot comprises the following steps:
carrying out plasma treatment on inorganic oxide powder of silicon and boron powder in an environment containing reducing gas, carrying out reduction reaction on part of the inorganic oxide of silicon, and then cooling to generate silicon quantum dots with doped composite structures; wherein the product of the reduction reaction contains elemental silicon.
In this way, the preparation method of the doped composite structure silicon quantum dot directly carries out plasma treatment on the mixed powder of the inorganic oxide powder of silicon and the boron powder in an environment containing reducing gas, so that a plasma system not only has relatively high heat energy, but also has relatively strong chemical reducibility. Under the action of reducing plasma, SiO2A chemical reduction reaction occurs to form Si clusters. By adjusting the proportion of reducing gas, part of the SiO2Participate in chemical reduction, and the rest SiO2Does not participate in the chemical reduction and still exists in the original oxidation valence state. The reaction system can be described as Si atom and boron atom cluster embedded in SiO2In a medium; the size and number of Si atoms and boron atom clusters both increase as the reaction proceeds. When increased to a certain extent, the reaction system rapidly solidifies in contact with the cooling gas: the Si atoms and boron atom clusters solidify to form the nuclei of boron-doped single crystals; SiO around Si and boron clusters2Solidifying to form an amorphous shell; the boron-doped silicon quantum dot with the core-shell structure is synthesized in one step. When the silicon monoxide powder is used as the raw material, SiOxWhen contacted with a reducing plasma, part of the SiOxChemical reduction takes placeReact to form Si atoms and H2An O molecule; partial SiOxDisproportionation reaction at high temperature to generate Si atom and SiO2(ii) a The Si atoms in turn form clusters of silicon atoms. The remainder being SiOxStill in the original oxidation state. The reaction system may be described as boron doped silicon atom clusters embedded in a silicon oxide medium. The size and number of silicon and boron clusters both increase as the reaction proceeds. When increased to a certain extent, the reaction system meets the cooling gas and rapidly solidifies: silicon atom and boron atom cluster solidification forms a core; the surrounding silica solidifies to form a shell; synthesizing the silicon quantum dots with the core-shell structure in one step. Therefore, the preparation method of the silicon quantum dots with the doped composite structure effectively simplifies the preparation method of the silicon quantum dots with the doped composite structure, improves the production efficiency, reduces the production cost, and the particle size of the silicon quantum dots with the doped composite structure is small and uniform.
In one embodiment, a method of plasma treating an inorganic oxide powder of silicon and a boron powder in an environment containing a reducing gas includes the steps of:

The hydrogen gas can be ionized in the plasma treatment process to generate various hydrogen ions, hydrogen atoms in a ground state and an excited state and hydrogen molecules, and a plasma atmosphere with strong reducibility is formed. Argon gas has good stability during plasma treatment, thereby improving the stability of the plasma treatment.
In one embodiment, the plasma gas used in the plasma treatment is argon at a flow rate of 10-40SLPM, specifically 25 SLPM. The plasma sheath gas of the plasma treatment is argon gas and hydrogen gas, wherein the flow rate of the argon gas is 30-60SLPM, specifically 50SLPM, and the flow rate of the hydrogen gas is 0.5-3SLPM, specifically 2 SLPM.

The maximum temperature of the system can reach more than ten thousand degrees according to the simulation calculation, and the common solid can be vaporized instantly.
During the cooling process after the plasma treatment is finished, as described above, the reaction system of the plasma treatment is rapidly solidified in the cooling process as meeting the cooling gas: the Si atoms and the boron atom clusters are solidified to form a single crystal nucleus; SiO around Si atom cluster2Solidifying to form an amorphous shell; the boron-doped silicon quantum dot with the core-shell structure is synthesized in one step.

The inorganic oxide powder and boron powder of silicon have a particle size of 0.3-5 μm, specifically 1 μm. The inorganic oxide powder and the boron powder of the silicon can be subjected to plasma treatment in a reducing atmosphere to generate the silicon quantum dots with the doped composite structure. Further, it was found by examination that Silica (SiO) still remains in the doped composite structure silicon quantum dots produced by subjecting the inorganic oxide powder in which silica is selected as silicon to reduction plasma treatment. There are many methods of treating silica, the most common of which is to convert silica to silica by heat treatment in an oxygen atmosphere. The conversion proceeds according to the following reaction equation:
2SiO+O2→2SiO2
i.e., 2 moles of Silica (SiO) with 1 mole of oxygen (O)2) Oxidation reaction takes place to 2 mol of silicon dioxide (SiO)2). However, since the core of the silicon quantum dot is a fine silicon crystal, it is easily oxidized to form silicon dioxide, and the structure of the silicon quantum dot is damaged. Therefore, in an embodiment, after the step of cooling, the method further includes a step of post-treating the generated doped composite structure silicon quantum dots:
and carrying out thermal oxidation treatment on the generated doped composite structure silicon quantum dots in a protective atmosphere.
By carrying out thermal oxidation treatment in the protective atmosphere of the silicon quantum dots with the doped composite structure, the conversion is carried out according to the following reactions when the boron-doped silicon quantum dots are subjected to thermal treatment at a lower temperature by virtue of the quantum confinement effect of the boron-doped silicon quantum dots:
2SiO→Si+SiO2
that is, 2 moles of silicon monoxide undergo an auto-redox reaction to produce 1 mole of silicon (Si) and 1 mole of silica. The silica is quantitatively converted to silica. Thereby effectively ensuring the stability of silicon contained in the doped composite structure silicon quantum dots, and simultaneously converting all contained shell layer materials into SiO2Thereby improving the photoelectric property of the silicon quantum dots with the doped composite structure.
Therefore, the preparation method of the doped composite structure silicon quantum dot in each embodiment can generate the doped composite structure silicon quantum dot in one step, effectively simplifies the preparation method of the doped composite structure silicon quantum dot, improves the production efficiency, and reduces the generation cost. In addition, the preparation method provided by the embodiment of the invention can generate the doped composite structure silicon quantum dots in one step, the conditions are easy to control, the stable luminescent performance of the generated doped composite structure silicon quantum dots can be ensured, and the generated doped composite structure silicon quantum dots have small particle size and uniform particles and are of a core-shell composite structure.
Through detection, the structure of the doped composite structure silicon quantum dot prepared by the preparation method of the doped composite structure silicon quantum dot is shown in fig. 1, and the doped composite structure silicon quantum dot comprises a core body 1 and a shell layer 2 coated on the core body, wherein the core body 1 is made of a boron-doped silicon crystal, and the shell layer 2 is made of silicon dioxide. Wherein, the core body 1 is the core of boron doped silicon single crystal, the morphology can be spherical, and the particle size is 2-5 nm. The shell layer 2 forms a coating layer, and the thickness of the coating layer is 2-3 nm. The particle diameter of the silicon quantum dots with the doped composite structure is 8-10nm, and the overall appearance of the silicon quantum dots is in a multi-branch chain structure. Therefore, the doped composite structure silicon quantum dot provided by the embodiment of the invention has a core-shell composite structure, small particle size, strong photoelectric property and stability.
In the doped composite structure silicon quantum dot of the embodiment of the invention, the core is the core body 1, namely the boron doped silicon quantum dot, and the physical properties and the basic functions of the doped composite structure silicon quantum dot are determined by the core body. For example, quantum confinement effects cause the spectrum of the quantum dot emission to be determined by the size of the core; the capacity of the lithium battery cathode based on the silicon quantum dots is improved from the core. The silica of shell 2 has little, if any, effect, although it is some ancillary effect. The shell 2 silicon dioxide is a passivation layer. The method has the effects of passivating crystal defects such as dangling bonds on the surface of silicon, enabling the light-emitting spectrum to be narrower and the color to be more bright, and enhancing the photoelectric effect of the silicon quantum dots with the doped composite structure; on the other hand, the shell 2 silicon dioxide is a protective layer. The doped composite structure silicon quantum dots are prevented from spontaneous combustion caused by air oxidation, the actual use value is improved, and the use cost is reduced; also sometimes, shell 2 silica is a gettering layer. Since the solid solubility of metal impurities is much higher in silica than in silicon, shell 2 silica can be used to absorb metal impurities. When the method is properly applied, the problem of pollution of metal impurities to solar cells or semiconductor devices in the production process can be effectively solved.
Because the doped composite structure silicon quantum dot in the embodiment of the invention has a core-shell composite structure, and the core body is doped with boron, the conductivity of silicon, namely the rising resistivity is reduced, and the Fermi level is shifted down, so that the doped composite structure silicon quantum dot has high conductivity and low Fermi level. In the application aspect, the doped composite structure silicon quantum dot can be used as a boron source in the form of ink or boron slurry to carry out area selective doping on a silicon wafer, so that the production and manufacturing process of a solar cell or a semiconductor device can be effectively simplified. And the particle size is small, the photoelectric property is strong and stable, and the applicability of the doped composite structure silicon quantum dot is effectively enhanced and expanded. In one embodiment, the doped composite structure silicon quantum dots in the above embodiments can be applied to the preparation of silicon quantum dot ink, silicon quantum dot boron paste, light emitting diodes, optical fiber communication, semiconductor triodes, lithium ion batteries or solar batteries.
