- Generally, a multi-layered chip element such as a multi-layer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) is manufactured by forming internal electrodes on a plurality of dielectric sheets, laminating the sheets to manufacture a laminate, and forming external electrodes on the laminate.

For example, the nickel nano particles may be synthesized on an organic solvent including a surfactant. The synthesized nickel nano particles may be easily dispersed by a nonpolar solvent and are added with a polar solvent such as alcohol, acetone, and the like, and recovered in a power form by a centrifugal separator.
- However, the method for synthesizing metal nano particles may relatively easily remove the organic solvent and the surfactant among the impurities remaining on the surfaces of the metal nano particles but may hardly remove the organic matters among the impurities. In particular, when a metal salt including chloride ion is used as a reacting precursor, the chloride ion adhered on the surfaces of the synthesized metal nano particles may not easily be removed. The impurities such as chloride ion, and the like, degrade the purity of the metal nano particles and when intending to form a fine electrode that is a chip component by using the low-purity metal nano particles, the electrode characteristics are deteriorated.

FIG. 1 is a flow chart illustrating a method for surface treating metal nano particles according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention andFIG. 2 is a diagram for describing a principle of surface treating metal nano particles according to the exemplary embodiment of the present invention. - Referring to
FIGS. 1 and 2 , the method for surface treating metal nano particles according to the exemplary embodiment of the present invention may include removingimpurities 120 remaining on surfaces of synthesized metal nano particles 110 (S110), treating themetal nano particles 110 with analkanol amine 130 containing solution (S120), and drying the metal nano particles 110 (S130). - The
metal nano particles 110 may be prepared by using various methods of synthesizing nano particle. For example, various kinds of themetal nano particles 110 may be prepared by using any one of a gas phase method, a liquid phase method, and a plasma and laser using method. As an example, the synthesizing of themetal nano particles 110 may include preparing nickel nano particles using a metal salt including chloride ion as a reacting precursor. Various kinds ofimpurities 120 may remain in the synthesizedmetal nano particles 110 in a form in which theimpurities 120 are adhered on the surfaces of themetal nano particles 110. Theimpurities 120 may include an organic solvent, a surfactant, organic matters, and the like. The organic matters may include chloride ion. - The
impurities 120 remaining on the surfaces of themetal nano particles 110 may be removed (S110). The removing of theimpurities 120 may be performed by treating themetal nano particles 110 with alcohol or toluene. The organic solvent or the surfactant among theimpurities 120 may be removed regardless of polarity or non-polarity during the process of treating themetal nano particles 110 with alcohol or toluene. However, it may be difficult to remove the organic matters among the impurities only by the treatment using the alcohol or the toluene. The organic matters adhered on the surfaces of themetal nano particles 110 may degrade the purity of themetal nano particles 110. - Therefore, the
metal nano particles 110 may be surface-treated by using the alkanol amine 130 (S120). The surface treating of themetal nano particles 110 may be provided to remove the organic matters among theimpurities 120 adhered on the surfaces of themetal nano particles 110. In more detail, in the surface treating of themetal nano particles 110 using thealkanol amine 130, themetal nano particles 110 may be mixed with a cleaning solution. Therefore, the chloride ion that is the organic matters adhered on the surface of themetal nano particles 110 is substituted into thealkanol amine 130, such that the chloride ion may be removed from the metal nano particles. - Here, as the cleaning solution, a solution including at least one of ethanolamine (EA), diethanolamine (DEA), triethanolamine (TEA) may be used. Further, the cleaning solution may further be added with alcohol such as ethanol. In this case, the cleaning solution may be controlled so that the concentration of the alkanol amine becomes at least 10 wt % or more. When the concentration of the alkanol amine is less than 10 wt %, the removal efficiency of the chloride ion is low, such that it may be difficult to expect the high removal efficiency of impurities.
- Meanwhile, the surface treating of the metal nano particles 110 (S120) may further include heating a mixing solution prepared by adding the cleaning solution to the
metal nano particles 110 at a predetermined temperature. The heating temperature of the mixing solution may be approximately 60° C. to 100° C. In particular, when the alcohol is added to the mixing solution, the heating temperature of the mixing solution may be higher than 78° C. that is a boiling point of the alcohol. However, a substitution reaction between thealkanol amine 130 and the chloride ion may be performed without heating the mixing solution, such that the heating of the mixing solution may be optionally performed. - Further, the
metal nano particles 110 may be dried (S130). The drying of themetal nano particles 110 may be for removing thealkanol amine 130 adhered on the surfaces of themetal nano particles 110. The drying of themetal nano particles 110 may include the heat treating of themetal nano particles 110 at a temperature of at least 50° C. or more. Therefore, thealkanol amine 130 adhered to themetal nano particles 110 is dried and removed, such that themetal nano particles 110 having chloride ion concentration less than approximately 100 ppm can be obtained. In particular, the method for surface treating metal nano particles according to the exemplary embodiment of the present invention can obtain the high-puritymetal nano particles 110 having the chloride ion concentration of approximately 10 ppm or less, more preferably, less than 5 ppm. - After the metal nano particles were synthesized, the synthesized metal nano particles were each cleaned with ethanol twice and toluene twice, respectively and were added to a cleaning solution formed of triethanol amine and ethanol to prepare the mixing solution. The mixing solution was heated at a temperature of 80° C. Further, after the metal nano particles were dried, the amount of chloride ion remaining on the surfaces of the nano particles was analyzed using ion chromatography. The following Table 1 shows the removal effect of chloride ion over the surface treating time of a triethanol amine containing solution as described above.

TABLE 1 Chloride Ion Division Concentration (ppm) Prior to surface treating 1780 with alkanol amine After 30 minutes of surface 5.6 treating with alkanol amine After 10 hours of surface 2.3 treating with alkanol amine - As described above, the final chloride ion concentration of the metal nano particles which are surface treated with the alkanol amine containing cleaning solution shown the removal ratio of 99% or more than that of the first metal nano particles. That is, the alkanol amine containing cleaning solution may show the removal ration of the high chloride ion of the metal nano particles only by the surface treatment for a short time of about 30 minutes, such that it was shown that the manufacturing process yield of the nano particles having high purity may be significantly improved. In particular, the chloride ion concentration of the metal nano particles may be reduced less than 10 ppm only with the surface treating of 30 minutes and the chloride ion concentration may be reduced less than 5 ppm.
- As described above, the method for surface treating metal nano particles according to the exemplary embodiment of the present invention can effectively remove the chloride ion that is difficult to be relatively removed among the
impurities 120 adhered on the surface of the synthesizedmetal nano particles 110 with the alkanol amine solution. In particular, the exemplary embodiment of the present invention may remove the chloride ion of 99% or more within the relatively short process time, thereby significantly improving the surface treating processing efficiency. Therefore, the method for surface treating metal nano particles to the exemplary embodiment of the present invention surface-treats the synthesized metal nano particles by using the alkanol amine solution to effectively remove the chloride ion that is difficult to be relatively removed among the impurities remaining on the surfaces of the synthesized metal nano particles, thereby obtaining the high-purity metal nano particles having the chloride ion concentration of approximately 100 ppm, preferably, less than 5 ppm. - To be continued, as described above, various applications of the
metal nano particles 110 from which the impurities are removed by the surface treating method according to the exemplary embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail. - The surface-treated metal nano particles according to the exemplary embodiment of the present invention may be used as a material for forming internal wirings of the electronic circuit. In particular, in the case in which the metal nano particles are nickel nano particles, the nickel nano particles have the relatively higher purity and tap density and thus, may be suitably used as a material for forming the electrode of the multi-layer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) that is gradually small and thin in recent.

FIG. 3 is a diagram illustrating a multi-layer ceramic capacitor manufactured by using nickel nano particles to which the method for surface treating metal nano particles according to the exemplary embodiment of the present invention is applied. Referring toFIG. 3 , a nickel paste may be prepared by adding an organic binder and an organic solvent to the nickel nano particles obtained by synthesizing the nickel nano particles and performing the surface treating described with reference toFIGS. 1 and 2 on the synthesized nickel nano particles. An example of the organic binder may include ethyl cellulose, and the like, and an example of the organic solvent may include terpineol, dihydroxy terpineol, 1-octanol kerosene, and the like. In this case, the contents of the nickel paste may be controlled to have 40 wt % to 60 wt % of nickel nano particles, 0.8 wt % to 4 wt % of organic binder, and 40 wt % to 60 wt % of organic solvent. Here, the conductive paste according to the exemplary embodiment of the present invention may further include any one additives among a plasticizer, an anti-viscosity agent, and a dispersant. - Further, after the plurality of
dielectric sheets 20 are prepared, predeterminedinternal electrodes 30 of the metal paste may be formed on eachdielectric sheets 20 by a screen printing method. Thedielectric sheets 20 are laminated and burned, thereby manufacturing thelaminate 40.External electrodes 50 electrically connected with theinternal electrodes 30 may be formed at both ends of the laminate 40. In this case, theexternal electrode 50 may be formed using the nickel paste. When theexternal electrode 50 is formed of the nickel paste, a separate plating process for forming theexternal electrode 50 may not be performed.
