Description

The manufacture method of particulate silver powder and particulate silver powder thereof
Technical field
The present invention relates to the manufacture method of a kind of particulate silver powder and particulate silver powder thereof, particularly relate to the few particulate silver powder of a kind of impurity content.
Background technology
As the record of patent documentation 1, during silver powder is in the past made, adopt with liquor argenti nitratis ophthalmicus and ammoniacal liquor always and make the silver ammonia complex aqueous solution, in this silver ammonia complex aqueous solution, add the wet type reducing process of organic reducing agent.In recent years, these silver powder are mainly used in the formation of the electrode of chip element, plasma display panel etc. or circuit.
Patent documentation 1: the spy opens the 2001-107101 communique
Therefore, in above-mentioned electrode and circuit, require the significantly miniaturization of formed circuit and electrode etc., require to have very high reliability when requiring densification, the high precision int of distribution.
But, the powder of the silver powder that usefulness manufacture method in the past obtains, in fact the average grain diameter D of its primary particle IAUsually surpass 0.6 μ m, according to the average grain diameter D of laser inflection formula particle size distribution at random method mensuration 50Surpass 1.0 μ m, use D 50/ D IAThe condensation degree of expression surpasses 1.7.Therefore, be not suitable for the circuit formation of fine compartmentation in recent years etc., become the main cause that the yield rate of product declines to a great extent.
On the other hand, from the using method of silver powder, there is following problem.All the time, in the circuit that uses elargol forms, heating-up temperature non-below 300 ℃ burn till or the purposes of low-temperature sintering type many, in order to obtain high sintering character at low temperatures, preferably use the silver powder of low frit.But, in order to obtain the silver powder of low frit, on creating conditions, having to adopt and reduce reaction system rapidly, its result though it is low to obtain crystallinity, condenses tangible silver powder.
Thus, on market, it is outstanding that the cohesion that requirement provides the particulate that did not in the past have silver powder, this silver powder to have powder approaches monodispersed dispersiveness and low-temperature sintering less and more.
On the other hand, require the impurity content of silver powder few.That is, above-mentioned wet type reducing process has been adopted in the manufacturing of silver powder, and the reducing agent that uses in this technology etc. remains on the powder surface of silver powder.Therefore, if employing manufacture method in the past, unavoidable problem that Here it is.If the impurity content of silver powder increases, then use the resistance of the formed conductor of this silver powder to increase.
Its result, market requires particulate, high dispersive always, and the few silver powder of impurity content.
Summary of the invention
So, the inventor etc., in the past make silver nitrate aqueous solution and ammoniacal liquor hybrid reaction are obtained the silver ammonia complex aqueous solution, by in this silver ammonia complex aqueous solution, adding reducing agent the silver particles reduction is separated out, filter, wash, dry manufacture method is the basis, in this manufacture method, inject intention, carried out deep research.Its result can obtain the particulate silver powder of the level that can't obtain with in the past manufacture method, and obviously reduces the impurity content of this particulate silver powder, thereby can access the particulate silver powder that did not in the past have.Especially, relevant manufacture method of the present invention can be accomplished the yield rate height of its particulate silver powder, and can stably be made.Below, about the present invention, divide " particulate silver powder " and " manufacture method " to be illustrated.
" particulate silver powder "
At first, particulate silver powder of the present invention is described.The feature of the maximum of particulate silver powder of the present invention is the powder characteristics with following a.~c..These powder characteristics are to be set forth in the present powder determination techniques, particulate silver powder of the present invention show the most outstanding feature, and the characteristic of setting up simultaneously.Below each characteristic is described.
A. characteristic is, the average grain diameter D of the primary particle that the graphical analysis by the scanning electron microscope image obtains IABe below the 0.6 μ m.At this, so-called " the average grain diameter D of the primary particle that the graphical analysis by the scanning electron microscope image obtains IA" be, by the observation image that uses the observable silver powder of surface sweeping type electron microscope (SEM) (use 10000 times multiplying power during preferred view particulate silver powder of the present invention, adopt 3000~5000 times multiplying power when observing silver powder in the past) is carried out the average grain diameter that graphical analysis obtains.In addition, use the graphical analysis of the observed particulate silver powder of scanning electron microscope (SEM) to be meant the IP-1000PC that uses rising sun engineering (エ Application ジ ニ ア リ Application グ) Co., Ltd.'s system in this manual, be 10 in the circularity threshold value, degree of overlapping is to carry out round particle 20 times to resolve, and the average grain diameter D that obtains IAHandle the average grain diameter D that obtains owing to carry out image by observation image to this particulate silver powder IAObserve image from SEM and directly obtain, therefore, can accurately capture the average grain diameter of primary particle.The D of said in the present invention particulate silver powder IA, wait to observe nearly all in the scope of 0.01 μ m~0.6 μ m according to inventor, but in fact also have when can confirm finer diameter, therefore specially do not stipulate its lower limit.
B. characteristic is, because particulate silver powder of the present invention demonstrates the polymolecularity that silver powder does not in the past have, has therefore used " condensation degree " as this dispersed index of expression.
Said in this manual condensation degree is meant the average grain diameter D that utilizes above-mentioned primary particle IAWith the average grain diameter D that measures according to laser inflection formula particle size distribution at random method 50, use D 50/ D IAThe value of expression.Here, D 50Be meant and utilize resulting, the particle diameter under weight accumulative total 50% of laser inflection formula particle size distribution at random method, this average grain diameter D 50Value be not the value of directly diameter of each powder being observed, and be meant will cohesion powder as a particle (aggregated particle), the average grain diameter of calculating.That is, this is because consider that in fact the particulate of silver powder is not so-called single branch loose powder that each particle separates fully, and normally form the state of a plurality of powder cohesions.But, in general, the state of aggregation of powder more less, approaching more single dispersion the, then average grain diameter D 50Value more little.The average grain diameter D of the particulate silver powder that uses among the present invention 50In the scope about 0.25 μ m~0.80 μ m, become average grain diameter D with usefulness not getable scope of manufacture method in the past 50Particulate silver powder.In addition, laser inflection formula particle size distribution at random method in this manual is meant that the silver powder with 0.1g mixes with ion exchange water, after 5 minutes, utilize laser inflection formula particle size distribution device at random MicroTrac HRA 9320-X100 type (manufacturing of Leeds+Northrup society) to measure with ultrasonic homogenizer (Japanese smart mechanism is made made US-300T) dispersion.
Compare " the average grain diameter D of the primary particle that the graphical analysis by the scanning electron microscope image obtains in this IA" be meant by the observation image that uses the observed silver powder of scanning electron microscope (SEM) is carried out the resulting average grain diameter of image analysis, be not consider the average grain diameter that accurately captures under the state of aggregation.
Its result, the average grain diameter D that decisions such as the inventor utilize laser inflection formula particle size distribution at random method to measure 50With the D that obtains by image analysis IA, use D 50/ D IAThe value of calculating is as condensation degree.That is, in the particulate silver powder of same batch, suppose and to go out D by enough same precision determinations 50And D IAValue, if consider by above-mentioned theory, reflection has the measured value D of state of aggregation 50Value just greater than D IAValue.At this moment, if the state of aggregation of the powder of particulate silver powder is more little, D 50Value just be infinitely close to D IAValue, as the D of condensation degree 50/ D IAValue approach 1.When condensation degree is 1, can be described as single branch loose powder of the state of aggregation that does not have powder fully.
Therefore, the inventor etc. are about condensation degree with utilize the viscosity, sintering processing of the particulate silver powder glue that the particulate silver powder of each condensation degree produces and the dependency relation of the surface of conductors smoothness that obtains etc. is investigated.Its result has found to access the fact of extremely good dependency relation.Can judge thus,, just can adjust the viscosity of the particulate silver powder glue that this particulate silver powder of use produces arbitrarily if adjust the condensation degree that particulate silver powder is had.And, found if condensation degree is adjusted into below 1.5, the variation of the surface smoothness after the viscosity of particulate silver powder glue, the sintering processing etc. can be controlled at extremely in the narrow region.In addition, it is many more that state of aggregation is removed, and utilizes this particulate oxide silver powder sintering and the film density of the conductor that obtains is high more, and its result can reduce the resistance of formed sintering conductor.
In addition, actual condensation degree of calculating is when also having demonstration less than 1 value.This is because the D that uses in the calculating of condensation degree IABe assumed to real ball, therefore 1 the value of should not arriving in theory, but in fact owing to be not real ball has obtained the value less than 1 condensation degree.
C. characteristic is, the crystallite diameter is below the 10nm, and this crystallite diameter and sintering begin temperature very confidential relation.That is, the silver powder that equates with average grain diameter compares each other, and the crystallite diameter is more little, and the sintering under the low temperature is possible more.Therefore, the microparticle surfaces energy as particulate silver powder of the present invention is big, and, owing to have the following little crystallite diameter of 10nm, sintering can be begun temperature low temperatureization.At this, the crystallite diameter is not set limit value, this is because produce certain evaluated error according to determinator, condition determination etc.In addition, being difficult to the demanding reliability of measured value in the crystallite diameter is scope below the 10nm, if leave no choice but the regulation lower limit, is about 2nm according to inventor's etc. result of study.
D. characteristic is that the content of organic impurities is scaled below the 0.25wt% with the carbon amount.At this, use the index of carbon content, as the benchmark of weighing attached to the impurity level on the silver powder powder as organic impurity content.The mensuration of the carbon content of this moment is to use the hole field to make the EMIA-320V of manufacturing, mixes the particulate silver powder of 0.5g, the tungsten powder of 1.5g, the glass putty of 0.3g, puts it in the magnetic crucible, by the value of burning-infrared absorption determining.The carbon content of the silver powder that obtains with in the past manufacture method is strengthened washing in any case, all contains the carbon content above 0.25wt%.
Because particulate silver powder of the present invention has the powder characteristics of aforesaid a.~d., can be the silver powder that did not have certainly in the past.And the characteristic particulate silver powder of the present invention that begins temperature from sintering can be described as the particulate silver powder that can begin sintering under the low temperature below 240 ℃.In addition, this sintering is begun temperature does not have its lower limit of special provision yet, if but the consideration inventor's etc. research and general technology general knowledge, the sintering that may obtain hardly below 170 ℃ begins temperature, thinks to be equivalent to the temperature of lower limit.
Especially as having the effect of above-mentioned powder characteristics, the jolt ramming packed density of particulate silver powder of the present invention is 4.0g/cm 3Above high density.In this said jolt ramming packed density is particulate silver powder by accurate weighing 200g, puts into 150cm 3Graduated cylinder in, with the stroke be carry out repeatedly under the 40mm 1000 times fall bump after, measure the value that the method for the volume of particulate silver powder is measured.This jolt ramming packed density has fine particle diameter, has the dispersed high state that does not have cohesion between the powder in theory, just can obtain high more value.The tap density of considering silver powder in the past is less than 4.0g/cm 3, can prove that particulate silver powder of the present invention is very fine and dispersed outstanding particulate silver powder.
" manufacture method of particulate silver powder "
Manufacture method of the present invention is, silver nitrate aqueous solution and ammoniacal liquor hybrid reaction are obtained the silver ammonia complex aqueous solution, make this silver ammonia complex aqueous solution and organic reducing agent haptoreaction, thereby silver particles is separated out in reduction, by the method for filtering, washing, drying being made silver powder, it is characterized in that, use the reduction dosage, silver nitrate amount, the ammonia vol that become thin concentration after adding.In the past, generally the reductant solution and the silver ammonia complex aqueous solution are mixed in groove in batch, therefore, be the concentration more than the 10g/l for silver concentration is reconciled, if do not add a lot of silver nitrate amounts, reduction dosage and ammonia vol, just can't guarantee productivity ratio with respect to equipment scale.
First of manufacture method of the present invention is characterised in that, the organic reducing agent concentration that the silver ammonia complex aqueous solution and organic reducing agent carry out after the haptoreaction is low, can reduce absorption and remain in the powder surface of the silver powder that is generated or enter the organic reducing material of silt interior in the developmental process of powder.Therefore, in this mixed solution, silver concentration is maintained 1g/l~6g/l, the organic reducing agent concentration is maintained 1g/l~3g/l for most preferably.
At this, proportional relation between silver concentration and the organic reducing dosage, certainly, silver concentration high energy more obtains the silver powder of volume more.But if silver concentration surpasses 6g/l, the tendency of the silver particles seedyization of then separating out becomes and in the past the silver powder particle diameter without any difference, can't obtain the said particulate silver powder with polymolecularity of the present invention.In contrast to this, if the not enough 1g/l of silver concentration, though could obtain and fine particulate silver powder, but thereby the increase of too fine oil absorption causes the rising of adhesiveness, is necessary to increase the amount of organic paint vehicle, finally cause the film density of formed sintering conductor to reduce the tendency that has a resistance and rise.Add, can not satisfy necessary industrial productivity.
Therefore, above-mentioned silver concentration is maintained 1g/l~6g/l, the organic reducing agent concentration is maintained 1g/l~3g/l is the only condition that can obtain particulate silver powder of the present invention with good yield rate.At this, with organic reducing agent concentration regulation 1g/l~3g/l be with the relation of the silver concentration of the silver ammonia complex aqueous solution in, selected as the most suitable scope that can access particulate silver powder.If the organic reducing agent concentration surpasses 3g/l, though can reduce the reducing agent liquid measure of adding with respect to the silver ammonia complex aqueous solution, but the cohesion of the silver powder powder that reduction is separated out begins obviously to carry out, and impurity level (in this manual impurity content being represented with the carbon content) beginning that is included in the powder sharply increases.On the other hand, if the not enough 1g/l of organic reducing agent concentration, then total liquid measure of employed reducing agent increases, and wastewater treatment capacity also increases, and can not satisfy industrial economy.
At this said " organic reducing agent " is quinhydrones, ascorbic acid, glucose etc.Wherein, the preferred quinhydrones that uses in organic reducing agent.In the present invention, quinhydrones is with respect to other organic reducing agent, has to access the reactive more outstanding and necessary only reaction speed of the silver powder low-crystalline that the crystallite diameter is little.
In addition, also other additive and above-mentioned organic reducing agent can be used in combination.At this said additive glue class, amine polymeric agent, cellulose family of gelatin etc. etc., the reduction that preferably can stablize silver powder is separated out technology, is played the additive of certain dispersant function simultaneously, suitably selects to use to get final product according to the kind of organic reducing agent, operation etc.
In addition, separate out the method for particulate silver powder about making the reduction of the resulting as stated above silver ammonia complex aqueous solution and reducing agent haptoreaction, in the present invention, as shown in Figure 1, the preferred employing makes silver ammonia complex aqueous solution S 1The stream of the regulation of flowing through (above and below be referred to as " first stream "), the second stream b of interflow in the way of this first stream is set, by this second stream b with organic reducing agent and additive S as required 2Flow in the first stream a, on the junction of two streams m of the first stream a and the second stream b, contact mixing, and the method (below, this method is referred to as " interflow hybrid mode ") of silver particles is separated out in reduction.
By adopting aforesaid interflow hybrid mode, being blended in the shortest time of two kinds of liquid finished, and reacts by uniform state in the system, therefore, can form the powder of uniform state.In addition, the organic reducing dosage when all seeing by mixed solution is few, and it is few to mean that absorption remains in the lip-deep organic reducing dosage of powder of the reduction particulate silver powder of separating out.Its result can reduce attached to through the impurity level in filtration, the dry resulting particulate silver powder, also can reduce the resistance of the sintering conductor that forms by elargol.
Especially, when silver nitrate aqueous solution and ammoniacal liquor haptoreaction obtained the silver ammonia complex aqueous solution, preferably adopting silver nitrate concentration was the silver nitrate aqueous solution of 2.6g/l~48g/l, and obtaining silver concentration is the silver ammonia complex aqueous solution of 2g/l~12g/l.Concentration at this said regulation silver nitrate aqueous solution has identical meaning with the liquid measure of regulation silver nitrate aqueous solution, for the silver concentration that makes the silver ammonia complex aqueous solution reaches 2g/l~12g/l, the concentration and the liquid measure that are added on ammoniacal liquor wherein must be the amounts of regulation.In present stage, also do not understand clear and definite technology reason, but, can access and demonstrate better manufacturing stability and stay-in-grade particulate silver powder by using the silver nitrate aqueous solution of above-mentioned silver nitrate concentration as 2.6g/l~48g/l.
And the 2nd feature of manufacture method of the present invention is that the washing of finally carrying out is very important feature.The washing of this moment promptly can be carried out water washing and ethanol washing combination, also can only carry out the ethanol washing, but strengthens the washing when washing with ethanol.That is, the particulate silver powder with respect to the reduction of 40g is separated out washs with the pure water about 100ml usually, afterwards, carries out the ethanol washing with the ethanol about 50ml.With respect to this, among the present invention, when carrying out the ethanol washing, use the above excess ethyl alcohol of 200ml particulate silver powder 5L above, relative 1kg to wash.
Can reduce impurity level by above-mentioned reinforcement washing, be that the organic reducing dosage when having adopted the reaction system of thin concentration and having adopted mixed solution all is controlled at the cause of the method for low amount because in the haptoreaction of the silver ammonia complex aqueous solution when making particulate silver powder and reducing agent.
The effect of invention
Can confirm that particulate silver powder of the present invention has the fine degree that did not in the past have, for have the particulate silver powder that polymolecularity, impurity content are few, do not have in the past.In addition, by adopting aforesaid manufacture method, can effectively make particulate silver powder of the present invention.
