Accordingly, in case of Multi-Layer Ceramic Condenser (MLCC), the miniaturized that have high capacity are required, also in case of circuit boards, multilayer boards with high density and high-integration are required.
- As to these MLCC and circuit board, precious metals such as silver, platinum or palladium have been used for inside conducting material or the electrode material. However, they are substituted with nickel particles for reducing production cost. In MLCC among these, a nickel electrode layer has lower density in comparison with the packing density of the molding product in the powder metallurgy and has higher degree of contraction according to sintering in curing than conducting layer, which cause high defective rate due to short of the nickel electrode layer or disconnection of wiring. To prevent these problems, the nickel powder should be fine particles, have a uniform narrow range of particle distribution, and exhibit superior particle distribution without agglomeration. For this, a method of manufacturing nickel nanoparticles having superior dispersion stability and uniform size is needed.

- First, preparing reverse microemulsion with a nickel precursor that includes nickel ions and a surfactant is performed. Here, any compound that include nickel ions may be appropriately used for the nickel precursor without limitation, preferably salts of nickel. Examples of the nickel salts may include NiCl2, Ni(NO3)2, NiSO4, (CH3COO)2Ni, and mixtures thereof. The nickel precursor is added by 0.1-10 parts by weight with respect to 100 parts by weight of the total aqueous solution. If the nickel precursor is added by less than 0.1 part by weight, amount of generated nickel ions is so low that it may not be effective, and if this is added by more than 10 parts by weight, generated particles agglomerate each other, which is not proper to form nanoparticles. Here, the lower content of the nickel precursor becomes, the smaller nickel nanoparticles may be formed.
- As the surfactant, cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB), sodium dodecylsulfate (SDS), sodium carboxymethyl cellulose (Na-CMC), polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) or mixtures thereof, may be used. Besides these surfactants, a cosurfactant can be added to form micro micelles stably. The cosurfactant may be an alcohol such as ethanol, propanol, or butanol. Here, the surfactant may be added by 0.1-20 moles with respect to 1 mole of distilled water that added in the aqueous solution, and this ratio is preferable since the surfactant can enclose sufficiently water droplets. Here, the higher content of the surfactant becomes, the smaller nickel nanoparticles can be formed. Further, the cosurfactant may be added by 20-40 parts by weight with respect to 100 parts by weight of the distilled water. If it is added by less than 20 parts by weight, it cannot stabilize microemulsions, and if it is added by more than 40 parts by weight, it may interrupt the function of surfactant and stable formation of microemulsion.
- The nickel precursor and surfactant are mixed with hydrophobic solvent and distilled water, wherein for the hydrophobic solvent, hydrocarbon-based compounds such as hexane, cyclohexane, heptane, octane, isooctane, decane, tetradecane, hexadecane, toluene, xylene, 1-octadecene, or 1-hexadecene may be used individually or by mixing. The hydrophobic solvent may be added by 30-60 parts by weight with respect to 100 parts by weight of the aqueous solution, since stable microemulsion including nickel ions may be formed if the hydrophobic solvent is added within this range.
- Next, forming nickel complexes in the reverse microemulsion is performed. For this, a compound including hydrazine is added, for example, hydrazine, hydrazine hydrate, hydrazine hydrochloride may be used individually or by mixing. Here, the hydrazine has the structure of NH2NH2, the hydrazine hydrate NH2NH2.nH2O, the hydrazine hydrochloride NH2NH3Cl. The compound including hydrazine may be added by 1-10 moles with respect to 1 mole of nickel ions supplied from the nickel precursor. If it is added by less than 1 mole, the nickel complex is not sufficiently formed, and if it is added by more than 10 moles, it is not appropriate in aspect of efficiency.
- Then, forming nickel particles by adding a reducing agent to the reverse microemulsion is performed. The reducing agent may be sodium borohydride (NaBH4). Here, sodium borohydride may be added by 0.1-1 mole with respect to 1 mole of nickel ions. If it is added by less than 0.1 mole, nickel-hydrazine complexes are not reduced sufficiently, and if it is added by more than 1 mole, it causes side excessive side. The reaction is performed for 0.5-2 hours after adding the reducing agent to form nanoparticles having narrow particle distribution of below 100 nm. If it takes less than 0.5 hour, the nickel ions are not sufficiently reduced, and if it takes more than 2 hours, nickel particles inappropriately overgrow and become unequal. The reaction is performed at 25-60° C., at higher than 60° C., the reaction occurs so rapidly that it is difficult to not only obtain uniform nanoparticles but control the growth of particles.
- The method may further include separating the nickel nanoparticles manufactured by these procedure from the reverse microemulsion, and washing and drying the nanoparticles thus separated. The separating, washing, and drying may be performed by conventional methods that are used in the related art, e.g., centrifugation for separation, acetone and distilled water for washing, and a vacuum drying oven for drying.
- Nickel nanoparticles and the method for manufacturing them were described above, more detailed descriptions will be given in greater detail with reference to specific examples.

Nickel nanoparticles were separated from the reverse microemulsion by centrifugation. After washing the separated nanoparticles with acetone and distilled
water 3 times, nickel nanoparticles were obtained by drying in a vacuum drying oven at 50° C. for 3 hours. - A graph representing the result of X-Ray diffraction examination (XRD) for nickel nanoparticles manufactured by example 1 is illustrated in

FIG. 5 . ReferringFIG. 5 , it is shown that round uniform nanoparticles of 15-20 nm size were generated. - Nickel chloride 18 g, Na-CMC 12 g, ethanol 150 g, and toluene 150 g were added to 300 g of distilled water, and the aqueous mixture was stirred at 40° C. 30 g of hydrazine hydrate was added to the reverse microemulsion and it was stirred for 30 minutes to form nickel-hydrazine complex. 0.03 mole of NaBH4 was added to the reverse microemulsion including the nickel-hydrazine complex, and it was stirred for 1 hour to produce nickel particles by reduction. Nickel nanoparticles were separated from the reverse microemulsion by centrifugation. After washing the separated nanoparticles with acetone and distilled
water 3 times, nickel nanoparticles were obtained by drying in a vacuum drying oven at 50° C. for 3 hours. - Further, a photo of SEM (Scanning Electron Microscope) of nickel nanoparticles produced by example 3 is illustrated in
FIG. 6 . ReferringFIG. 6 , it is shown that round uniform nanoparticles of 30-40 nm size were generated. - Nickel chloride 18 g, PVP 60 g, ethanol 150 g, and toluene 150 g were added to 300 g of distilled water, and the aqueous mixture was stirred at 40° C. 0.03 mole of NaBH4 was added to the reverse microemulsion including the nickel-hydrazine complex, and it was stirred for 1 hour to produce nickel particles by reduction. Nickel nanoparticles were separated from the reverse microemulsion by centrifugation. After washing the separated nanoparticles with acetone and distilled
water 3 times, nickel nanoparticles were obtained by drying with vacuum drying oven at 50° C. for 3 hours. - Though the nickel nanoparticles produced by
comparison 1 was 15-20 nm, the shape was not uniform and agglomeration was so high that nanoparticles having proper distribution were not formed. - In example 1, 4 g of nickel nanoparticles were obtained from 18 g of nickel chloride. After the nickel nanoparticles were re-dispersed in ethanol and centrifuged at 3000 rpm for 5 minutes, 3.5 g of nickel nanoparticles having dispersion stability were obtained by removing precipitates. In examples 2 and 3, similar results were obtained, which were determined by same analyses.
- On the contrary, in comparison example 1, when nanoparticles were re-dispersed as in example 1, it is noted that agglomeration was so high that nickel nanoparticles having dispersion stability were not obtained by centrifugation at 3000 rpm for 5 minutes.
- Nickel nanoparticles were manufactured as in example 1, except that nickel chloride and each kind of surfactants were added as shown in Table 1. This is to confirm the relation between size of nickel nanoparticles and content of nickel precursor and surfactant. The size of manufactured nickel nanoparticles was determined and summarized in Table 1.
-
