Description

本発明は、金属酸化物分散液およびその製造方法に関し、特に、金属酸化物のナノ粒子が良分散した塩基性金属酸化物分散透明ゾル水溶液とその有利な製造方法に関する。本発明において、良分散とは、動的光散乱法により測定した水溶液中における金属酸化物粒子の平均分散粒子径が50nm以下であるであることを意味する。   The present invention relates to a metal oxide dispersion and a method for producing the same, and more particularly to a basic metal oxide-dispersed transparent sol aqueous solution in which metal oxide nanoparticles are well dispersed and an advantageous method for producing the same. In the present invention, good dispersion means that the average dispersed particle diameter of metal oxide particles in an aqueous solution measured by a dynamic light scattering method is 50 nm or less.

金属酸化物はその組成により、優れた機械的、電気的、磁気的および光学的な物性を発現することから、幅広い分野で利用されている。例えば、ジルコニア(ZrO)は高温で固体電解質となることから燃料電池や酸素センサの材料として用いられる一方、高硬度と高靭性を両立することから、ナイフや鋏の材料としても利用されている。また、チタニア(TiO)は強い光触媒活性を有することから、環境浄化用触媒として利用され、水の分解による一段階での水素合成、あるいは色素増感型太陽電池等への応用も期待されている。 Metal oxides are used in a wide range of fields because they exhibit excellent mechanical, electrical, magnetic and optical properties depending on their compositions. For example, zirconia (ZrO 2 ) is used as a material for fuel cells and oxygen sensors because it becomes a solid electrolyte at high temperatures, while it is also used as a material for knives and scissors because it has both high hardness and high toughness. . In addition, titania (TiO 2 ) has a strong photocatalytic activity, so it is used as a catalyst for environmental purification, and is expected to be applied to hydrogen synthesis in one step by water decomposition or dye-sensitized solar cells. Yes.

近年、ナノサイズ化による材料物性の制御が注目され、上記金属酸化物に関してもナノ粒子を製造する方法が各方面で盛んに研究開発されている(例えば、特許文献1)。また、金属酸化物ナノ粒子を効率的に利用するためには、金属酸化物ナノ粒子を溶媒に分散する手法の確立が重要である。特に、金属酸化物ナノ粒子を均一分散させた複合材料を得る場合や金属酸化物ナノ粒子を原料にした金属酸化物バルク体の製造に関しては、金属酸化物分散ゾル水溶液を製造する簡便な技術の確立が求められている。   In recent years, control of material properties by nano-sizing has attracted attention, and methods for producing nanoparticles with respect to the above metal oxide have been actively researched and developed in various fields (for example, Patent Document 1). In addition, in order to efficiently use the metal oxide nanoparticles, it is important to establish a method for dispersing the metal oxide nanoparticles in a solvent. In particular, in the case of obtaining a composite material in which metal oxide nanoparticles are uniformly dispersed or in the production of a metal oxide bulk material using metal oxide nanoparticles as a raw material, a simple technique for producing a metal oxide dispersed sol aqueous solution is used. Establishment is required.

金属酸化物粒子を分散させた水溶液を得る方法としては、チタン酸ゲルを製造した後、該チタン酸ゲルを水に溶解し、水酸化四級アンモニウムを添加して水熱処理を行う方法が提案されている(特許文献2)。しかしながら、特許文献2で開示されているのはチタニア粒子を分散させた水溶液に関してのみであり、他の金属酸化物粒子に適用可能か否かは明らかではない。また、特許文献2に開示されている製造方法でチタニア粒子分散水溶液を得るためには、原料としてチタン酸ゲルを製造する必要があり、工程が煩雑になるという問題点が存在する。   As a method for obtaining an aqueous solution in which metal oxide particles are dispersed, a method of producing a titanic acid gel, dissolving the titanic acid gel in water, adding quaternary ammonium hydroxide, and performing a hydrothermal treatment is proposed. (Patent Document 2). However, Patent Document 2 discloses only an aqueous solution in which titania particles are dispersed, and it is not clear whether it can be applied to other metal oxide particles. Moreover, in order to obtain a titania particle-dispersed aqueous solution by the production method disclosed in Patent Document 2, it is necessary to produce a titanic acid gel as a raw material, and there is a problem that the process becomes complicated.

It can also be used as a raw material when producing a metal oxide bulk body.

本発明の塩基性金属酸化物分散ゾル水溶液の製造方法は、金属塩と第四級アンモニウム塩との中和反応を用いてアニオン性塩基性無機金属錯体を含む水溶液を製造する第1工程と、該第1工程で製造した水溶液を80〜150℃の水熱条件で水熱処理する第2工程と、を有している。   The method for producing a basic metal oxide-dispersed sol aqueous solution of the present invention includes a first step of producing an aqueous solution containing an anionic basic inorganic metal complex using a neutralization reaction between a metal salt and a quaternary ammonium salt; And a second step of hydrothermally treating the aqueous solution produced in the first step under a hydrothermal condition of 80 to 150 ° C.

第1工程で用いる金属塩は特に限定されないが、例えば、ジルコニウム(Zr)、チタン(Ti)、錫(Sn)、亜鉛(Zn)等の塩化物や、該塩化物の水和物等を用いることができる。また、第四級アンモニウム塩としては、水酸化テトラメチルアンモニウム、炭酸テトラメチルアンモニウム、重炭酸テトラメチルアンモニウム、コリン、炭酸コリン、および重炭酸コリン等を例示することができる。   The metal salt used in the first step is not particularly limited.

第1工程においては、本発明の塩基性金属酸化物分散透明ゾル水溶液の製造方法で製造される、塩基性金属酸化物分散透明ゾル水溶液に分散する金属酸化物の等電位点以上の塩基性領域でアニオン性塩基性無機金属錯体を製造することが好ましい。   In the first step, the basic region at or above the equipotential point of the metal oxide dispersed in the basic metal oxide-dispersed transparent sol aqueous solution is produced by the method for producing a basic metal oxide-dispersed transparent sol aqueous solution of the present invention.

等電位点とは、金属酸化物表面の電位が見かけ上零になる溶媒のpHを意味する。金属酸化物の表面は、水と接すると水和を起こしてOH基を持つことが知られている。このような表面では、水のpH値によって該表面の電位が変化する。低いpHではプロトンの付加によって正の電位を帯び、pHが高くなるとOH基からのプロトンの引き抜きで負に帯電する。なお、等電位点の値は金属酸化物の酸性度によって異なり、同じ金属酸化物でも、該金属酸化物の生成時の条件や履歴によってOH基の付き方が変わると等電位点の値も変化する場合がある。   The equipotential point means the pH of the solvent at which the potential of the metal oxide surface appears to be zero. It is known that the surface of the metal oxide hydrates when it comes into contact with water and has OH groups. On such a surface, the electric potential of the surface changes depending on the pH value of water. At a low pH, a positive potential is obtained by the addition of protons, and when the pH is increased, the protons are negatively charged by extracting the protons from the OH group. Note that the value of the equipotential point varies depending on the acidity of the metal oxide. Even if the same metal oxide is used, the value of the equipotential point changes when the OH group attachment method changes depending on the conditions and history when the metal oxide is produced.

The method of the hydrothermal treatment is not particularly limited, and for example, it is achieved by heating the aqueous solution produced in the first step to 80 to 150 ° C. in an autoclave (heat-resistant and pressure-resistant sealed container) and holding it for a predetermined time. As a hydrothermal treatment apparatus using an autoclave, there are a batch type treatment apparatus and a continuous type (circulation type) treatment apparatus, either of which may be used. The hydrothermal treatment is preferably performed in a basic region having a pH of 8 or higher.

第1工程において製造される水溶液に含まれるアニオン性塩基性無機金属錯体は、金属イオンと第四級アンモニウム塩の陰イオンとが結合したアニオン性塩基性無機金属錯体であることが好ましい。第四級アンモニウム塩としては、水酸化テトラメチルアンモニウム、炭酸テトラメチルアンモニウム、重炭酸テトラメチルアンモニウム、コリン、炭酸コリン、および重炭酸コリン等を例示でき、これらの陰イオンと、金属塩を水に添加することで生成した金属イオンと、が結合することで、アニオン性塩基性無機金属錯体が形成される。   The anionic basic inorganic metal complex contained in the aqueous solution produced in the first step is preferably an anionic basic inorganic metal complex in which a metal ion and an anion of a quaternary ammonium salt are bonded.

These anions and metal salts can be used in water. An anionic basic inorganic metal complex is formed by combining with the metal ion generated by the addition.

本発明の塩基性金属酸化物分散ゾル水溶液の製造方法によれば、塩基性金属酸化物分散ゾル水溶液を製造するために、金属酸化物を含むゲルを製造する必要がなく、アニオン性塩基性無機金属錯体を含む水溶液を80〜150℃の水熱条件で水熱処理するだけで塩基性金属酸化物分散ゾル水溶液を製造することができる。   According to the method for producing a basic metal oxide-dispersed sol aqueous solution of the present invention, it is not necessary to produce a gel containing a metal oxide in order to produce a basic metal oxide-dispersed sol aqueous solution, and an anionic basic inorganic A basic metal oxide-dispersed sol aqueous solution can be produced simply by hydrothermally treating an aqueous solution containing a metal complex under hydrothermal conditions of 80 to 150 ° C.

本発明の塩基性金属酸化物分散透明ゾル水溶液は、結晶子径が1nm以上かつ20nm以下の金属酸化物粒子と水とから構成される塩基性金属酸化物分散透明ゾル水溶液であって、動的光散乱法により測定した水溶液中における金属酸化物粒子の平均分散粒子径が1nm以上かつ50nm以下である塩基性金属酸化物分散透明ゾル水溶液である。ここで、結晶子径とは、金属酸化物の結晶1つの大きさを意味する。また、分散粒子径とは、水溶液中における金属酸化物の大きさを表し、金属酸化物の結晶が凝集した凝集体の大きさを含む。   The basic metal oxide-dispersed transparent sol aqueous solution of the present invention is a basic metal oxide-dispersed transparent sol aqueous solution composed of metal oxide particles having a crystallite diameter of 1 nm or more and 20 nm or less and water, A basic metal oxide-dispersed transparent sol aqueous solution having an average dispersed particle size of metal oxide particles in an aqueous solution measured by a light scattering method of 1 nm or more and 50 nm or less. Here, the crystallite size means the size of one metal oxide crystal. The dispersed particle size represents the size of the metal oxide in the aqueous solution, and includes the size of the aggregate in which the metal oxide crystals are aggregated.

動的光散乱法とは、水溶液中の粒子のブラウン運動を検出することで、該粒子の粒子径や粒度分布を測定する方法である。水溶液中に分散した粒子のブラウン運動は、大きな粒子では遅く、小さな粒子になるほど早くなる。ブラウン運動の様子は散乱光の揺らぎとして観測されるため、ブラウン運動をしている粒子にレーザー光を照射し、該粒子からの散乱光を観測および解析することで、水溶液中の粒子の粒子径や粒度分布を測定することができる。   The dynamic light scattering method is a method of measuring the particle diameter and particle size distribution of the particles by detecting the Brownian motion of the particles in the aqueous solution. The Brownian motion of particles dispersed in an aqueous solution is slower for larger particles and faster for smaller particles. Since the state of Brownian motion is observed as fluctuations in scattered light, the particle size of particles in an aqueous solution can be obtained by irradiating laser light to particles that are in Brownian motion and observing and analyzing the scattered light from the particles. And particle size distribution can be measured.

Usually, when the content of the metal oxide particles in the aqueous solution is increased, the metal oxide particles are aggregated, and it is very difficult to obtain a transparent sol aqueous solution in which the metal oxide particles are well dispersed. On the other hand, the basic metal oxide-dispersed transparent sol aqueous solution of the present invention has a metal oxide particle content of the basic metal oxide-dispersed transparent sol aqueous solution in the range of 0.1% by volume to 60% by volume. The metal oxide particles are well dispersed, and the aqueous solution remains transparent.
