Example 1
Referring to fig. 1, the present invention discloses a thin film electrode, which includes a substrate layer 11, and an electrode layer 20 and a protective layer 14 disposed on the surface of the substrate layer 11.
The substrate layer 11 may be a flexible substrate layer 11, such as PET, PEN, or PI; the substrate layer 11 may also be a rigid substrate layer 11, such as a glass, PMMA or quartz plate; the specific material is selected according to the specific application scene of the thin film electrode.
The electrode layer 20 is coated on the surface of the substrate layer 11, and nano metal wires are distributed in the electrode layer 20; the electrode layer 20 is macroscopically divided into conductive areas and insulating areas, and the conductive areas are distributed according to preset lines, i.e. the electrode layer 20 has a certain pattern from the appearance, the pattern is formed by conductive lines and non-conductive areas together, and the specific shape of the pattern is determined according to the function requirement of a specific circuit.
Wherein, in the electrode layer 20 corresponding to the conductive region, the nano metal wires are connected with each other to form a whole, thereby realizing the conductive function; and in the electrode layer 20 corresponding to the insulating region, cracks exist between the nano metal wires, and the crack depth penetrates through the upper and lower surfaces of the electrode layer 20 or the crack depth occupies a large half of the thickness of the whole electrode layer 20, so that the region is not conductive.
It should be noted that the above-mentioned conduction and non-conduction are relative concepts in the art, and generally speaking, the conduction means that the sheet resistance of the thin film electrode is less than 10 3 Ohm, the non-conductive refers to that the sheet resistance of the film electrode is more than 10 6 Ohmic.
Referring to fig. 4, the cracks are microscopically observable structures, invisible to the naked eye, and typically have a size of not less than 0.1 μm; the size of the crack is large enough compared to the distance between the nanowire and the nanowire to affect the electrical conductivity of a region of the electrode layer 20.
The nano metal wires comprise nano silver wires, nano copper wires or nano gold wires, the sizes, the characteristics and the manufacturing methods of the nano metal wires are prior art in the field, are not important points of the invention, and are not repeated here.
The protective layer 14 may be applied to the surface of the electrode layer 20 (as shown in fig. 1) or may be disposed within the surface of the electrode layer 20 (as shown in fig. 2). The location of the protective layer 14 is determined by the specific manufacturing process, as will be described in more detail below, whether it is disposed on the surface of the electrode layer 20 or within the surface of the electrode layer 20.
The protective layer 14 has the main functions of physically protecting the electrode layer 20, preventing the surface of the electrode layer 20 from being scratched, and preventing the surface of the electrode layer 20 from being isolated from the external environment, so as to avoid the contact of the conductive substance of the electrode layer 20 with air, effectively overcome the deterioration of chemical stability caused by the phenomena of electric corrosion, oxidation and the like of the electrode layer 20, and finally shorten the service life of the electrode.
The material of the protective layer 14 is at least one of thermosetting resin and photo-curing resin with high light transmittance, and the protective layer 14 obtained by the material is ultrathin and insulating, and has no obvious influence on the conductivity, light transmittance and haze of the electrode layer 20.
Specifically, the thermosetting resin comprises one or more of phenolic resin, epoxy resin, unsaturated polyester, amino resin, silicone resin, furan resin, polybutadiene resin and organic silicon resin; the light-cured resin comprises one or more of epoxy acrylic resin, polyurethane acrylic resin, polyester acrylic resin, polyether acrylic resin, pure acrylic resin and vinyl resin.
The preparation method of the film electrode comprises the following steps:
s1, preparing a conductive layer 12 material: the conductive layer 12 material includes nanowires, a solvent, and a dispersant.
In some embodiments, the nanowire comprises a nanosilver wire, or a nanosilver wire; the solvent comprises one or more of alcohols, ethers, esters, ketones and hydrocarbons; the dispersant comprises diammonium silver hydroxide, tetra ammonium copper hydroxide or imine gold complex.
It should be noted that the material of the conductive layer 12 is prepared by a conventional process in the art, which is not described herein.
S2, preparing a sol layer 13 material: the sol layer 13 material comprises one or more of zirconia sol, titania sol, zinc oxide sol and silica sol.
Specifically, taking carbon dioxide sol as an example, the steps for preparing the sol layer 13 are as follows:
titanium metal alkoxide, acid catalyst and alcohol are mixed according to the mass ratio of 1:0.1-0.5: 8-25, and stirring for 1-3 h to obtain a solution A;
deionized water, alcohol and inhibitor are mixed and stirred for 1 to 3 hours according to the mass ratio of 1:15 to 30:0.03 to 0.06 to obtain solution B;
and (3) dropwise adding the solution B into the solution A while continuously stirring, continuously stirring for 2-5 h after the dropwise adding is finished, and finally aging the obtained solution at room temperature for 24-48h to obtain the titanium dioxide sol.
Other sol layer 13 materials are prepared in a similar manner, except that the alkoxide needs to be replaced by a corresponding metal alkoxide or silicon alkoxide, and the corresponding sol can be obtained through the steps.
S5, preparing a protective layer 14 material.
The preparation process of the material of the protective layer 14 is performed by adopting a conventional operation means in the field, and generally, the material of the protective layer 14 is prepared from at least one of thermosetting resin and photo-curing resin with high light transmittance. For example, in some of these embodiments, the thermosetting resin comprises one or more of phenolic resin, epoxy resin, unsaturated polyester, amino resin, silicone resin, furan resin, polybutadiene resin, silicone resin; the light-cured resin comprises one or more of epoxy acrylic resin, polyurethane acrylic resin, polyester acrylic resin, polyether acrylic resin, pure acrylic resin and vinyl resin.
It should be noted that the order of the steps S1, S2 and S5 may be arbitrarily changed or performed simultaneously. The three materials are preparation materials for manufacturing the thin film electrode of the invention, and the preparation is not orderly divided.
S3, coating the material of the conductive layer 12 on the surface of the substrate layer 11, and forming the conductive layer 12 by surface drying; then coating the material of the sol layer 13 on the surface of the conductive layer 12 according to a preset pattern to form the sol layer 13; finally, the surface of the sol layer 13 is coated with the protective layer 14 (as shown in fig. 1).
In other embodiments, the method of step S3 may be replaced with:
coating the material of the conductive layer 12 on the surface of the substrate layer 11 to form a conductive layer 12; then coating the protective layer 14 on the surface of the conductive layer 12, and drying the conductive layer 12 and the protective layer 14; finally, the material of the sol layer 13 is coated on the surface of the protective layer 14 according to a preset pattern to form the sol layer 13 (as shown in fig. 2).
The three-layer material has certain fluidity in the preparation process and is not completely fixed, so that the three-layer material can be mutually infiltrated and permeated after being coated.
The coating process comprises spraying, silk screen printing and ink jet printing.
The surface drying is low-temperature drying, and the temperature is generally not higher than 60 ℃; preferably from 35℃to 60 ℃.
And S4, baking the substrate layer 11 to fuse and solidify the conductive layer 12, the sol layer 13 and the protective layer 14, thereby obtaining the thin film electrode.
In general, both the conductive layer 12 and the sol layer 13, which play a major role in conductivity, are defined as electrode layers 20.
Specifically, the baking and curing temperature is 120-150 ℃.
When the thin film electrode obtained by the preparation method is observed under an electron microscope, cracks can be found in the thin film region coated with the sol layer 13, and further, the crack depth penetrates through the upper surface and the lower surface of the electrode layer 20 or the crack depth accounts for a majority of the thickness of the whole electrode layer 20; while the film area not coated with sol layer 13 presents a dense continuous structure. The area of the coated sol layer 13 has a sheet resistance exceeding 10 by impedance test 6 Ohm, which is regarded in the art as non-conductive, but uncoatedThe area sheet resistance of the sol-coated layer 13 is lower than 10 3 Ohmic, which is regarded in the art as electrically conductive. The conductive area of the electrode layer 20 is defined as a conductive area and the non-conductive area of the electrode layer 20 is defined as an insulating area.
By purposefully coating the sol layer 13 at the set position of the conductive layer 12, a circuit pattern satisfying a certain circuit function, that is, a circuit pattern in which conductive areas are distributed according to a preset line, can be finally obtained.
From the above, the electrode layer 20 is actually obtained by fusing and interacting two material layers, and the specific forming principle is as follows:
the sol layer 13 has a low surface tension and permeability. The sol layer 13 is selectively coated on the upper surface of the conductive layer 12 or on the upper surface of the protective layer 14, so that the region where the sol layer 13 is not coated forms a circuit. Before the sol layer 13 is coated, the conductive layer 12 and the transparent protective layer 14 are both surface-dried by adopting a low-temperature drying mode, then the sol layer 13 is coated and then baked and cured at a high temperature, and the film in the area coated with the sol layer 13 is cracked after being cured at a high temperature (shown in fig. 4), so that the area is not conductive, and the films in other areas not coated with the sol layer 13 are cured at a high temperature to form a conductive film with compact structure (shown in fig. 3), namely a conductive circuit in the electrode structure. Explanation of the phenomenon of this process: the conductive layer 12 and the transparent protective layer 14 before the sol layer 13 is coated are both formed into an incompletely cured conductive film layer with loose structure by adopting a low-temperature surface drying mode, and then the sol layer 13 selectively coated on the surface of the conductive film layer can be permeated into the conductive film layer due to low surface tension and permeability. Because the material of the sol layer 13 has the characteristic of thermodynamic instability, then polycondensation (dehydration polycondensation M-OH+HO-M- & gt M-O-M+HOH OR alcohol-loss polycondensation M-OR+HO-M- & gt M-O-M+HOR) can occur in the high temperature curing process due to the fact that the sol layer 13 and the conductive layer 12 react under the high temperature condition; during the high temperature process, along with the volatilization of the solvent (i.e. the solvent which is not completely volatilized and remains in the surface drying process), the film layer has a free shrinkage tendency, biaxial plane tensile stress is generated during the cooling process, during the process, the interface formed between the sol layer 13 and the conductive layer 12 generates great residual thermal stress due to the mismatch of thermal and mechanical properties, so that the interface of the sol layer 13 and the conductive layer 12 starts to crack (as shown in fig. 4) and extends to penetrate into the conductive layer 12, and therefore, the continuity structure of the conductive layer 12 in the area is destroyed, and thus, the conductive layer is nonconductive; whereas the region where the sol layer 13 is not coated is cured to form a conductive film having a dense structure (as shown in fig. 3), and thus conductivity is not affected. Since the generated cracks are steady-state and the process is irreversible, the cracks cannot be repaired by heating at high temperature, and the stability of the prepared film electrode is extremely high.
In summary, the preparation method of the thin film electrode provided by the invention can realize the preparation of the specific circuit electrode only through two times of coating, and the coating process such as spraying, silk screen printing, ink jet printing and the like is relatively mature in technology, compared with laser etching or yellow light etching, the preparation method of the thin film electrode has the advantages of simpler process, higher efficiency, lower cost and better stability, and is beneficial to improving the qualification rate of products; the conductive area and the non-conductive area in the thin film electrode provided by the invention are smooth in appearance, have no obvious bulge or recess, are used as electrodes in touch screens and display screens, have good shadow eliminating effect and good ageing resistance, and can obviously improve the display effect of the touch screens and the display screens; in addition, because the laser etching or yellow light etching process is omitted, the matched production equipment is relatively simple, the cost is lower, and the industrial popularization is facilitated.
The invention also discloses application of the thin film electrode, for example, the thin film electrode is used as an electrode of a touch screen, a solar cell, a liquid crystal handwriting board, an electronic curtain, a heating film or an LED display screen, has good shadow eliminating effect and ageing resistance, and can obviously improve the display effect of the touch screen and the display screen.
Example two
The embodiment discloses a thin film electrode, which comprises a substrate layer 11, an electrode layer 20 and a protective layer 14, wherein the electrode layer 20 and the protective layer 14 are arranged on the surface of the substrate layer 11.
The structure and preparation process of the substrate layer 11 and the protective layer 14 of this embodiment are the same as those of the first embodiment, except that: the material of the conductive layer 12 forming the electrode layer 20 is different from that of the first embodiment, the conductive layer 12 of this embodiment adopts ITO (Indium tin oxide), but the formulation and preparation method of the sol layer 13 still adopts the same material as that of the first embodiment, and the final process method for manufacturing the thin film electrode is also the same as that of the first embodiment.
The ITO material of the conductive layer 12 in this embodiment is prepared by the prior art or is directly purchased in the market, and the formulation and specific preparation method thereof are not described in detail in the present invention.
In the region of the ITO conductive layer 12 coated with the sol layer 13, since the sol layer 13 material has a thermodynamically unstable property, and then cracks (as shown in fig. 4) begin to be generated at the interface layer of the conductive layer 12 and the sol layer 13 during the high temperature curing process and propagate through the conductive layer 12, the continuity structure of the conductive layer 12 is broken in this region, and thus is not conductive, as in the first functional principle of the embodiment; whereas the region where the sol layer 13 is not coated is cured to form a conductive film having a dense structure (as shown in fig. 3), and thus conductivity is not affected. The crack is steady-state, the process is irreversible, and the crack can not be repaired by high-temperature heating, so that the prepared film electrode has extremely high stability.
