The embodiment provides a preparation method of high tap density flake silver powder, which comprises the following steps:
s1, dissolving silver nitrate in water to prepare 100mL of silver nitrate solution with mass concentration of 1500g/L; respectively preparing 300mL of ascorbic acid solution with the mass concentration of 167g/L and 400mL of sodium ascorbate solution with the mass concentration of 200g/L, and then mixing the ascorbic acid solution and the sodium ascorbate solution to obtain a reducer solution; the dispersant polyvinylpyrrolidone was dissolved in water to prepare 100mL of a dispersant solution having a mass concentration of 50 g/L.

S3, settling the reaction liquid obtained in the step S2, and removing the supernatant to obtain settled silver powder; washing the obtained settled silver powder with water and ethanol in sequence, and then filtering and drying the settled silver powder in sequence to obtain the spherical cluster silver powder with the particle size range of about 4-7 mu m.
And S4, placing the spherical cluster silver powder obtained in the step S3 into a shaping machine for shaping, setting the rotating speed of a bottom cutter of the shaping machine to 4500r/min, the rotating speed of a side cutter to 3500r/min, and shaping for 15min to obtain spherical silver powder with the particle size range of about 3-6 mu m, wherein an SEM (scanning electron microscope) diagram is shown in figure 1.
S5, taking 80g of the spherical silver powder obtained in the step S4, and adding the spherical silver powder into 250mL of ethanol to obtain a mixed solution; adding 0.4g of grinding aid into the mixed solution, wherein the grinding aid is prepared by mixing 0.1g of hexadecylamine and 0.3g of 12-hydroxystearic acid; after fully and evenly mixing, the mixture is guided into a sand mill for sand milling treatment. Wherein the diameter of the zirconia balls in the sand mill is 0.4mm, the mass of the zirconia balls is 8 times of the mass of the spherical silver powder, the rotating speed of the sand mill is 1500r/min, and the sand milling time is 20min. Finally, separating, washing and drying the silver powder after sanding treatment to obtain the flake silver powder with high tap density, wherein an SEM (scanning electron microscope) diagram is shown in figure 2.
Through detection, the particle size range of the high tap density flake silver powder prepared by the embodiment is about 4-15 mu m, the thickness range is about 0.5-1.2 mu m, and the tap density is 5.53g/cm 3
The high tap density flake silver powder prepared in the embodiment is mixed with spherical submicron silver powder and resin to prepare conductive silver paste; and printing the silver paste to obtain the solar cell. Through detection, the photoelectric conversion efficiency of the solar cell prepared based on the flake silver powder is 19.98%.
Comparative examples 1 to 2
Comparative examples 1 to 2 respectively provide a method for preparing silver powder, which is mainly different from example 1 in that the composition of the reducing agent is changed. Comparative examples 1 to 2 the reducing agent prepared by compounding ascorbic acid and sodium ascorbate in example 1 was replaced with 700mL of ascorbic acid solution having a mass concentration of 173g/L, so that the molar mass of the reducing agent was substantially the same as that in example 1. Among them, in comparative example 1, in order to ensure uniform dispersion of silver powder, the amount of the dispersant solution was increased from 100mL to 600mL, and in comparative example 2, only 100mL of the dispersant solution was added as in example 1. The remaining steps and parameters in comparative examples 1 to 2 are the same as those in example 1, and are not described here again.
Wherein, the silver powder is seriously agglomerated due to the too small amount of the dispersant in comparative example 2, and the particle size range of the silver powder obtained in step S3 is about 8 to 13 μm, and the large-sized spherical particles cannot be all ground into flakes according to the method of steps S4 to S5 in example 1 due to the too large particles, so that the flake silver powder cannot be obtained. Comparative example 1 the above problems in comparative example 2 were ameliorated by increasing the amount of the dispersant to six times that in example 1, and the silver powder was subjected to the subsequent treatments according to steps S4 to S5 to obtain plate-like silver powder.
The tap density of the flake silver powder prepared in comparative example 1 was examined to be 4.73g/cm 3 . The plate-like silver powder prepared in comparative example 1 was further applied to the preparation of a solar cell in the same manner as in example 1, and the solar cell using the plate-like silver powder in comparative example 1The photoelectric conversion efficiency of (2) was 18.56%.
As can be seen from the above results compared with example 1, when only a single ascorbic acid solution was used as the reducing agent, a large amount of dispersing agent was required to avoid the aggregation of silver powder, and when the amount of dispersing agent was increased to 6 times that of example 1, although the problem of aggregation of silver powder could be improved, too much dispersing agent also caused the problem of incomplete cleaning of dispersing agent, and the residual dispersing agent was wrapped inside and on the surface of silver powder, affecting the conductivity of silver powder, and further affecting the photoelectric conversion efficiency of the solar cell, resulting in lower tap density of the produced plate-like silver powder and lower photoelectric conversion efficiency of the solar cell. In example 1, two reducing agents, namely ascorbic acid and sodium ascorbate, are compounded according to a specific proportion, so that the dosage of the dispersing agent can be greatly reduced, and the tap density of the flake silver powder can be improved.
Comparative example 3
This comparative example provides a method for producing plate-like silver powder, differing from example 1 only in that the composition of the reducing agent is changed. In this comparative example, the reducing agent was 700mL of sodium ascorbate solution having a mass concentration of 194.8g/L, so that the molar mass of the reducing agent was substantially the same as in example 1, and the remaining steps were the same as in example 1, and will not be described again.
Tap density of the flake silver powder prepared in this comparative example was 3.87g/cm 3 The SEM image is shown in fig. 3. The plate-like silver powder was applied to the preparation of solar cell paste in the manner of example 1, and the photoelectric conversion efficiency of the obtained solar cell sheet was 16.24%.
As can be seen from fig. 3, the silver powder has a smaller particle diameter, most of the silver powder still exists as spherical particles below 1 μm after sanding, and the sanding process easily enables the small-size flake silver powder to be connected into the large-size flake silver powder, so that the tap density of the finally obtained silver powder is lower, and further the photoelectric conversion efficiency of the solar cell is affected.
Comparative example 4
This comparative example provides a method for producing plate-like silver powder, which differs from example 1 only in that the mass ratio of ascorbic acid to sodium ascorbate in the reducing agent is changed. In this comparative example, the reducing agent was formed by mixing 400mL of an ascorbic acid solution having a mass concentration of 167g/L and 300mL of a sodium ascorbate solution having a mass concentration of 200g/L, and the remaining steps were the same as in example 1, and will not be described again.
Experimental process shows that compared with the embodiment 1, the morphology of the silver powder particles prepared in the steps S1-S3 is changed, wherein the size range of large-particle silver powder is about 6-8 mu m, but a plurality of small particles exist in the silver powder, and the particle size of the silver powder particles is uneven. The tap density of the flake silver powder prepared in this comparative example was detected to be 4.82g/cm 3 The SEM image is shown in fig. 4. The plate-like silver powder was applied to the preparation of solar cell paste in the manner of example 1, and the photoelectric conversion efficiency of the obtained solar cell sheet was 17.38%.
Comparative example 5
The comparative example provides a method for preparing flake silver powder, which is different from example 1 only in that the ascorbic acid in example 1 is replaced with an equivalent amount of isoascorbic acid, and simultaneously sodium ascorbate is replaced with an equivalent amount of sodium isoascorbate, and the rest of the steps are identical to example 1, and are not repeated here.
The experimental process shows that compared with the embodiment 1, the morphology of the silver powder particles prepared by the steps S1-S3 is changed, and the particle size range is about 0.8-1.3 mu m. The tap density of the flake silver powder prepared in this comparative example was 3.28g/cm 3 An SEM image thereof is shown in fig. 5. The plate-like silver powder was applied to the preparation of solar cell paste in the manner of example 1, and the photoelectric conversion efficiency of the obtained solar cell sheet was 15.06%.
As can be seen from fig. 5, the silver powder has a smaller particle size, and the silver flakes after sanding have a smaller size, and the silver flakes are very thin, resulting in a lower tap density of the finally obtained silver powder, thereby affecting the photoelectric conversion efficiency of the solar cell.
In other embodiments of the present invention, the present invention may be appropriately modified based on embodiment 1. The method comprises the following steps: in the step S1, the mass ratio of the ascorbic acid to the sodium ascorbate in the reducing agent solution can be 1:1-2The ratio of the mass of silver nitrate to the total mass of ascorbic acid and sodium ascorbate in the reducing agent solution can be adjusted within the range of 1:0.6-1.0, the ratio of the mass of the dispersing agent to the mass of silver nitrate can be adjusted within the range of 0.02-0.15:1, gum arabic can also be used as the dispersing agent, and the concentration of the silver nitrate solution can be adjusted within the range of 500-1500 g/L. In the step S2, the stirring speed can be adjusted within the range of 200-300 r/min, and the stirring time can be adjusted within the range of 15-25 min. In the step S4, the shaping time can be adjusted within 10-15 min. In the step S5, the mass fraction of the spherical silver powder in the mixed solution can be adjusted within the range of 20-30wt%; the sanding time can be adjusted within the range of 10-30 min; the mass ratio of the grinding aid to the spherical silver powder can be adjusted within the range of 0.001-0.01:1, and the used grinding aid can be one or more of oleic acid, tween 80, stearic acid, octylamine, hexadecylamine, 12-hydroxystearic acid and cinnamic acid. The tap density of the flake silver powder prepared based on the method can reach 5-6 g/cm 3 All belong to the protection scope of the invention.
In summary, the invention provides a preparation method of high tap density flake silver powder, and relates to the technical field of metal powder preparation. The preparation method comprises the steps of preparing a silver nitrate solution, a reducing agent solution and a dispersing agent solution, wherein the reducing agent solution contains ascorbic acid and sodium ascorbate; then adding a silver nitrate solution and the dispersing agent solution into the reducing agent solution, and fully reacting to obtain spherical cluster silver powder; shaping the spherical cluster silver powder to obtain spherical silver powder; adding spherical silver powder into ethanol, adding a grinding aid, fully and uniformly mixing, performing sanding treatment, and separating, washing and drying to obtain the high tap density flake silver powder.
