The metal powder produced by the above method still cannot avoid generation and incorporation of fine particles of less than 0.1 μm. Further, the composite coprecipitated powder made of two kinds of metal salts such as the silver-palladium coprecipitated powder has a non-uniform degree of mixing, and as a result, alloying at a low temperature is difficult to occur. Therefore, the metal powder obtained by the above-mentioned conventional technique has a large amount of increase in oxidation, and the electrode characteristics remain unsatisfactory.

It is a thing. Such silver-palladium coprecipitated powder has good printability when formed into a paste. Further, it is a homogeneous mixture, and since it alloys at a low temperature, it has a characteristic that the amount of oxidation increase (TGA) is small, and it is suitable for a capacitor electrode.

First, as the reducing agent, a hydrazine compound having a strong reducing power is applied, but hydrazine hydrate and ammonium formate must be used in combination. Other reducing agents cannot stably obtain the metal powder having the above characteristics. Generally, the reducing agent has a large difference in its reducing power due to the difference in pH of the reaction solution, which causes a large fluctuation. For example, in the case of hydrazine hydrate, there is almost no reducing power to the silver salt on the acidic side, but on the alkaline side, the reducing power to the silver salt is conversely strong, which causes a difference in the speed with the reduction of the palladium salt.

Therefore, in the production method of the present invention, hydrazine hydrate is used in the acidic region as a reducing agent for the palladium salt, and in order to supplement the reduction of the silver salt, hydrazine hydrate has the same reducing power as that for the palladium salt. Is used in combination with ammonium formate, which has a silver salt in an acidic region. It is considered that by using this reducing agent, the silver salt and the palladium salt are reduced and precipitated to the same extent, so that a coprecipitated powder with a good degree of mixing can be obtained.

The mixing ratio of hydrazine hydrate and ammonium formate depends on the mixing ratio of silver and palladium in the desired silver-palladium coprecipitated powder. The total amount of the reducing agents is preferably used in excess of the theoretical amount for completely proceeding the reduction reaction, but 1.5 times the equivalent amount necessary for reducing the silver salt or the palladium salt is sufficient.

The pH value of the reaction solution is an important factor that influences the nucleation rate and the particle growth rate of the particles of the metal powder. If the pH is too low, the particle growth rate will be slow and only fine powder will be obtained. Even if the pH is too high, the nucleation rate of metal particles exceeds the particle growth rate, so most of the particles produced are less than 0.1 μm.

In the present invention, the pH of the reducing agent-containing solution needs to be in the acidic region for the above-mentioned reason, and is preferably pH 4 or more and pH 7 or less. However, when the metal salt-containing solution was also in the acidic region, the nucleation reaction proceeded rapidly when the two solutions were mixed, and the powder could not be balanced with the particle growth rate, and only fine particles of less than 0.1 μm were produced. Therefore, the pH of the metal salt-containing solution needs to be in the alkaline range, and is preferably pH 7 or higher and pH 11 or lower. That is, in the present invention, the reduction reaction of the metal salt, which is carried out by mixing both solutions, is preferably carried out in the range of pH 7 to pH 10.5.

Further, it is another feature of the present invention that at least one of ammonium acetate and ammonium carbonate is added to at least one of the metal-containing solution and the reducing agent-containing solution. As a result, the reduction reaction between the silver salt and the palladium salt in the reduction precipitation reaction when the two solutions are mixed is performed while being coordinated and controlled slowly, and the mixing degree of the silver component and the palladium component is good and the value of 0. Particles having an extremely narrow particle size distribution of 1 to 2.0 μm (observed by SEM) are generated and alloyed at a low temperature, so that the amount of increase in oxidation during firing becomes small. This effect cannot be obtained in the presence of an ammonium compound other than ammonium acetate or ammonium carbonate, and the alloying temperature of the coprecipitated powder produced is high and the amount of oxidation increase during firing is large.

As a preferable addition form of the ammonium compound, at least one selected from ammonium nitrate, ammonium acetate or ammonium carbonate is added to the metal salt-containing solution, and / or ammonium nitrate or acetic acid is added to the reducing agent-containing solution.

However, when ammonium nitrate is added to the metal salt-containing solution, it is necessary to further add at least one of ammonium acetate or ammonium carbonate to the metal salt-containing solution or ammonium acetate to the reducing agent-containing solution. On the other hand, in the case of adding ammonium nitrate to the reducing agent-containing solution, similarly, ammonium acetate must be further added to the reducing agent-containing solution, or at least one of ammonium acetate or ammonium carbonate must be added to the metal salt-containing solution.

The reduction reaction may be performed at 25 ° C. or higher at which reduction precipitation occurs, but from the viewpoint of easy alloying of the deposited silver and palladium, a higher reduction precipitation temperature is more preferable. However, since the size of the precipitated particles becomes smaller as the reaction temperature becomes higher, it is most preferably in the range of 40 ° C to 60 ° C.

A similar test was conducted by changing the compounding ratio of silver and palladium (see Table 3). The coprecipitated powders produced in Comparative Example 3 and Example 4 were fired and subjected to X-ray analysis (see FIG. 2).
Example 4 shows that the maximum peak is shifted to the high angle side as compared with Comparative Example 3, and alloying is progressing. The oxidative weight gains of both were almost the same (see Table 4).
However, the alloying of Example 3 shown in FIG. 1 is more advanced than that of Example 4, and the amount of oxidation increase is small. Similarly, in Examples 5 and 6, alloying was further advanced than that in Example 4 (data not shown), and the amount of oxidation increase was also small (see Table 4).
