酸化スズ粒子及びその製造方法Tin oxide particles and method for producing the same
 本発明は、酸化スズ粒子及びその製造方法に関する。また、その酸化スズ粒子を含有している分散体、塗料、樹脂組成物等に関する。 The present invention relates to tin oxide particles and a method for producing the same. The present invention also relates to a dispersion, a paint, a resin composition and the like containing the tin oxide particles.
 酸化スズとしては、一般に4価のスズを構成成分とする酸化第二スズ(SnO)と2価のスズを構成成分とする酸化第一スズ(SnO)が知られている。酸化第二スズは半導体であり、単体では高い導電性を示さないが、異原子をドープすることにより高い導電性を得ることも知られている。酸化第二スズは、透明性、物理的化学的安定性に優れた材料であり、電気・電子的用途に期待される材料である。具体的には、酸化第二スズにアンチモン、リン、フッ素等をドープしたものは、導電性に優れているため、導電性フィラーとしてプラスチックやゴム等に混入され、導電性プラスチックの材料として利用されている。更に、前記の導電性フィラーを配合した塗料を用いて透明導電膜を作製すると、極めて低抵抗かつ低ヘーズで、しかも基体との密着性及び膜強度に優れた膜が得られ、このような膜はOA機器等のディスプレイやTVブラウン管の画像表面の帯電防止のために、または電磁界シールドとして用いられている。また透明導電膜は、タッチパネルや液晶ディスプレイ等のディスプレイ装置の透明電極にも利用できる。更に、酸化第二スズの焼結体をターゲットとしてスパッタ法によりガラス上に酸化スズ薄膜を作製し、透明導電性酸化物コートガラス、熱線反射ガラス、低放射ガラス、電熱ガラスなどが製造されている。一方、酸化第一スズは、硫酸等に溶解してスズめっき浴に用いられている。 As tin oxide, stannic oxide (SnO 2 ) containing tetravalent tin as a constituent component and stannous oxide (SnO) containing divalent tin as a constituent component are generally known. Although stannic oxide is a semiconductor and does not exhibit high conductivity by itself, it is also known that high conductivity is obtained by doping different atoms. Stannic oxide is a material excellent in transparency and physical and chemical stability, and is expected to be used for electrical and electronic applications. Specifically, stannic oxide doped with antimony, phosphorus, fluorine, etc. is excellent in conductivity, so it is mixed in plastics, rubber, etc. as a conductive filler and used as a material for conductive plastics. ing. Furthermore, when a transparent conductive film is prepared using a paint containing the above conductive filler, a film having extremely low resistance and low haze, and excellent adhesion to the substrate and film strength can be obtained. Is used for preventing charging of the image surface of a display such as an OA device or a TV CRT, or as an electromagnetic field shield. The transparent conductive film can also be used for transparent electrodes of display devices such as touch panels and liquid crystal displays. Furthermore, a tin oxide thin film is produced on a glass by sputtering using a sintered body of stannic oxide as a target, and transparent conductive oxide coated glass, heat ray reflective glass, low radiation glass, electrothermal glass, etc. are produced. . On the other hand, stannous oxide is dissolved in sulfuric acid or the like and used in a tin plating bath.
 酸化第二スズは、4価のスズ塩水溶液とアルカリ溶液とを反応させた沈殿物を焼成して製造される。例えば特許文献1は、4価のスズ塩水溶液とアルカリ溶液の反応をpHが0.5~4の範囲で行い、スズ含有沈殿を生成させ、次いで、400~1200℃の温度範囲で焼成することを記載している。また、特許文献2は、4価のスズ塩水溶液とアルカリ水溶液とを水中に並行的に添加し、中和反応液のpHを3以上に保持しながら中和して酸化スズの水和物を生成させ、次いで該生成物の水中に塩化アンチモンの溶液とアルカリ水溶液とを並行的に添加し、中和反応液のpHを3以上に保持しながら中和して該生成物の表面に酸化アンチモンの水和物を生成させ、しかる後焼成して、アンチモンをドーピングした酸化第二スズを製造する方法を記載している。一方、酸化第一スズについては、例えば特許文献3は、塩化第一スズの水溶液と水酸化ナトリウムの水溶液とを混合して反応させ、pH12~13.5で静置状態で2時間以上熟成して製造することを記載している。 Stannic oxide is produced by firing a precipitate obtained by reacting a tetravalent tin salt aqueous solution with an alkaline solution. For example, in Patent Document 1, a reaction between a tetravalent tin salt aqueous solution and an alkaline solution is performed in a pH range of 0.5 to 4 to form a tin-containing precipitate, and then calcined in a temperature range of 400 to 1200 ° C. Is described. Further, Patent Document 2 adds a tetravalent tin salt aqueous solution and an alkaline aqueous solution in parallel to neutralize the tin oxide hydrate by maintaining the pH of the neutralization reaction solution at 3 or more. Then, a solution of antimony chloride and an aqueous alkali solution are added in parallel to the product water, and neutralized while maintaining the pH of the neutralization reaction solution at 3 or more, and the surface of the product is antimony oxide. Is prepared and then calcined to produce antimony-doped stannic oxide. On the other hand, as for stannous oxide, for example, in Patent Document 3, an aqueous solution of stannous chloride and an aqueous solution of sodium hydroxide are mixed and reacted, and aged for 2 hours or more in a stationary state at pH 12 to 13.5.

 前記の特許文献1、2のように4価のスズ化合物を用い、加水分解、中和反応によって得た沈殿物を焼成して製造した酸化第二スズは、微細な粒状形状を有しており、これらの方法では、薄片状等の粒子形状を有する酸化第二スズは製造できない。一方、特許文献3の方法では、2価のスズ化合物を用いて中和反応によって平板状の酸化第一スズが得られるとしているが、厚みの薄い薄片状の形状の酸化第一スズは得られていない。しかも、その酸化第一スズは硫酸等に溶解してスズめっき浴に用いられるものであって、酸化第一スズを酸化して酸化第二スズを製造することを記載していない。 The stannic oxide produced by calcining a precipitate obtained by hydrolysis and neutralization reaction using a tetravalent tin compound as in Patent Documents 1 and 2 has a fine granular shape. These methods cannot produce stannic oxide having a particle shape such as flakes. On the other hand, in the method of Patent Document 3, flat stannous oxide is obtained by a neutralization reaction using a divalent tin compound, but thin flaky stannous oxide is obtained. Not. Moreover, the stannous oxide is dissolved in sulfuric acid or the like and used in a tin plating bath, and does not describe that stannous oxide is oxidized to produce stannic oxide.
 本発明者らは、酸化第二スズの粒子形状を薄片状にすることにより、薄い酸化スズ膜を形成したり、導電性等の効果の高い有用な材料が得られたりすると考え、薄片状の粒子形状を有する酸化第二スズ粒子を製造する方法を研究した。その結果、2価のスズ化合物とアルカリとを、反応器内のpHを6以下に維持するように添加して、スズ化合物を加水分解すると厚みの薄い薄片状酸化第一スズ粒子が得られること、それを焼成することにより薄片状の形状を維持した酸化第二スズ粒子が得られることなどを見出した。また、前記の薄片状酸化第一スズ粒子及び薄片状酸化第二スズ粒子の粉末X線回折プロファイルは、酸化スズの(110)面に対する(101)面のピーク強度比(ピークの高さの比)が1.0以上であること、更に、それらを粉砕して不定形状としても前記のピーク強度比は1.0以上に維持されることを見出し、本発明を完成した。 The present inventors think that by forming the particle shape of stannic oxide into a flaky shape, a thin tin oxide film can be formed, or a useful material having a high effect such as conductivity can be obtained. The method of producing stannic oxide particles with particle shape was studied. As a result, when a divalent tin compound and an alkali are added so as to maintain the pH in the reactor at 6 or less, and the tin compound is hydrolyzed, thin flaky stannous oxide particles can be obtained.

 本発明の酸化スズ粒子は粉末X線回折において、酸化スズの(110)面に対する(101)面のピーク強度比が1.0以上である。
 本発明の酸化スズは、酸化第一スズであっても、酸化第二スズであってもよく、それらをそれぞれ含んでいてもよく、更には、水酸化第一スズ、水酸化第二スズ等を含んでいてもよい。酸化スズのうち種々の用途に用いられることから、酸化第一スズ又は酸化第二スズの結晶構造を有するものが好ましく、酸化第二スズの結晶構造を有するものがより好ましく、酸化スズの全部が酸化第二スズの結晶構造を有するものが更に好ましい。先に記載のとおり、本発明の酸化スズは特異なX線プロファイルを有し、具体的には、酸化第二スズの結晶構造を粉末X線回折(線源;Cu-Kα)で確認すると、回折角(2θ)33.8°程度に現れる酸化第二スズの(101)面のピークの高さが、回折角(2θ)26.6°程度に現れる(110)面のピークの高さと同じかそれよりも高い。また、酸化第一スズの結晶構造を粉末X線回折(線源;Cu-Kα)で確認すると、回折角(2θ)29.9°程度に現れる酸化第一スズの(101)面のピークの高さが、回折角(2θ)33.3°程度に現れる(110)面のピークの高さと同じかそれよりも高い。すなわち、粉末X線回折において、酸化スズの(101)面のピークの高さ/(110)面のピークの高さで表されるピーク強度比は1.0以上であり、1.1以上がより好ましく、2以上が更に好ましい。
 この現象は本発明の薄片状酸化第一スズ粒子及び酸化第二スズ粒子の場合には通常見られるが、一方、従来の粒状粒子の場合には(101)面のピークの高さは(110)面のピークの高さよりも低く、したがって、本発明の薄片状酸化スズ粒子は従来の粒状粒子とは異なり、(101)面に配向していると考えられる。本発明の薄片状酸化スズ粒子を強度に粉砕して破壊すると、前記のピーク強度比は次第に小さくなることからも、本発明の薄片状酸化スズ粒子の特徴をピーク強度比で特定できることが理解できる。なお、粉砕の程度により、種々の形状を包含する不定形状になっても前記のピーク強度比が1.0以上を維持している場合がある。したがって、本発明の酸化スズ粒子の粒子形状は、一般に薄片状形状であるが、ピーク強度比を満足する限り、その薄片状形状を粉砕して得られるような種々の形状を包含する不定形状であってもよい。
In the powder X-ray diffraction of the tin oxide particles of the present invention, the peak intensity ratio of the (101) plane to the (110) plane of tin oxide is 1.0 or more.
The tin oxide of the present invention may be stannous oxide or stannic oxide, each of which may be contained, and further, stannous hydroxide, stannic hydroxide, etc. May be included. Among tin oxides, those having a crystal structure of stannous oxide or stannic oxide are preferable, those having a crystal structure of stannic oxide are more preferable, and all of tin oxide is used. Those having a crystal structure of stannic oxide are more preferable. As described above, the tin oxide of the present invention has a unique X-ray profile. Specifically, when the crystal structure of stannic oxide is confirmed by powder X-ray diffraction (ray source: Cu-Kα), The peak height of the (101) plane of stannic oxide that appears at a diffraction angle (2θ) of about 33.8 ° is the same as the peak height of the (110) plane that appears at a diffraction angle (2θ) of about 26.6 °. Or higher. Further, when the crystal structure of stannous oxide is confirmed by powder X-ray diffraction (ray source: Cu-Kα), the peak of the (101) plane of stannous oxide appearing at a diffraction angle (2θ) of about 29.9 °. The height is equal to or higher than the peak height of the (110) plane appearing at a diffraction angle (2θ) of about 33.3 °. That is, in powder X-ray diffraction, the peak intensity ratio expressed by the height of the peak of the (101) plane of tin oxide / the peak height of the (110) plane is 1.0 or more, and 1.1 or more. More preferred is 2 or more.
This phenomenon is usually observed in the case of the flaky stannous oxide particles and stannic oxide particles of the present invention, whereas in the case of conventional granular particles, the peak height of the (101) plane is (110 ) Lower than the peak height of the surface. Therefore, unlike the conventional granular particles, the flaky tin oxide particles of the present invention are considered to be oriented in the (101) plane. When the flaky tin oxide particles of the present invention are crushed and broken to a high strength, the peak intensity ratio gradually decreases, so that it can be understood that the characteristics of the flaky tin oxide particles of the present invention can be specified by the peak intensity ratio. . Depending on the degree of pulverization, the peak intensity ratio may be maintained at 1.0 or more even when the shape becomes indefinite including various shapes. Therefore, the particle shape of the tin oxide particles of the present invention is generally a flaky shape, but as long as the peak intensity ratio is satisfied, it is an indefinite shape including various shapes obtained by pulverizing the flaky shape. There may be.

 スズ(II)化合物とアルカリの添加方法は、反応器にスズ(II)化合物を予め添加した後にアルカリを添加したり、反応器にアルカリを予め添加した後にスズ(II)化合物を添加したり、反応器にスズ(II)化合物とアルカリを同時並行的に添加する方法が挙げられる。それらの一つの方法、あるいは二つ以上の方法を組み合わせることもできるが、スズ(II)化合物とアルカリを同時並行的に添加するのが好ましい。添加後の反応器の温度は50℃以上とすると、スズ(II)化合物の加水分解を有効に進めることができるため好ましい。スズ(II)化合物(又はアルカリ)を添加し50℃以上に昇温した後にアルカリ(又はスズ(II)化合物)を添加してもよく、予め反応器に水を入れておき、その水の温度を50℃以上とした後に、スズ(II)化合物とアルカリを同時並行的に添加してもよく、後者が好ましい。より好ましい温度は70~105℃程度であり、更に好ましい温度は85~105℃程度である。
 前記の同時並行添加とは、両者のそれぞれを別々に少量ずつ連続的あるいは間欠的に反応器に添加する方法をいう。具体的には両者を10分~10時間程度かけて同時に添加するのが好ましい。
 スズ(II)化合物とアルカリを添加した後、熟成すると、酸化第一スズの結晶性がより高くなるため好ましい。熟成温度は50℃以上が好ましく、70~105℃程度がより好ましく、90~105℃程度が更に好ましい。熟成時間は、5分~6時間程度が好ましい。前記の加水分解反応や熟成はスズの価数が2価を保つように窒素ガス等の非酸化性雰囲気で行ってもよいが、通常の大気中でも可能である。
The tin oxide particles having a unique X-ray profile of the present invention are obtained by, for example, reacting a tin (II) compound (Sn 2+ ) and an alkali while maintaining the pH at 6 or less, and hydrolyzing the tin (II) compound. can get. As the tin (II) compound, a divalent tin compound such as tin (II) chloride is used. Water-soluble tin (II) compounds are preferred, and tin (II) chloride is more preferred. The concentration of the tin (II) compound is preferably 0.05 to 150% by weight, more preferably 1.0 to 100% by weight, based on water when used by dissolving in water. As the alkali, alkali hydroxides such as sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide and lithium hydroxide, alkali carbonates such as sodium carbonate, ammonium compounds such as ammonium carbonate, ammonia and the like can be used. Sodium oxide is preferred. The tin (II) compound and the alkali are added while adjusting the pH in the reactor to be 6 or less, preferably 3 to 6, more preferably 3.5 to 5.5. Add while adjusting. In the neutral vicinity where the pH is higher than 6, tin acid hydroxide (Sn 6 O 4 (OH) 4 ) is likely to be formed, and this is not a flaky shape. Moreover, although it may become flat form when pH is 9 or more, this has a thickness larger than 5 micrometers.
The method of adding the tin (II) compound and the alkali includes adding the tin (II) compound to the reactor in advance and then adding the alkali, adding the alkali to the reactor in advance and then adding the tin (II) compound, An example is a method in which a tin (II) compound and an alkali are simultaneously added to a reactor. One of these methods or a combination of two or more methods can be used, but it is preferable to add the tin (II) compound and the alkali simultaneously. The temperature of the reactor after the addition is preferably 50 ° C. or higher because hydrolysis of the tin (II) compound can be effectively advanced. After adding the tin (II) compound (or alkali) and raising the temperature to 50 ° C. or higher, the alkali (or tin (II) compound) may be added. After the temperature is set to 50 ° C. or higher, a tin (II) compound and an alkali may be added simultaneously, and the latter is preferred. A more preferable temperature is about 70 to 105 ° C., and a further preferable temperature is about 85 to 105 ° C.
The simultaneous and parallel addition refers to a method in which both of them are separately added to the reactor in small amounts continuously or intermittently. Specifically, it is preferable to add both at the same time over about 10 minutes to 10 hours.
It is preferable to ripen after adding the tin (II) compound and the alkali because the crystallinity of stannous oxide becomes higher. The aging temperature is preferably 50 ° C. or higher, more preferably about 70 to 105 ° C., and further preferably about 90 to 105 ° C. The aging time is preferably about 5 minutes to 6 hours.

Thereafter, washing is performed as necessary to remove unnecessary electrolytes present in the aqueous solution. At the time of washing, a pH adjuster is added in order to aggregate the produced hydrolysis product. Examples of the pH adjuster used include inorganic acids such as hydrochloric acid and sulfuric acid, and alkalis such as sodium hydroxide. After washing, if necessary, it is separated into solid and liquid and further dried. A filter such as a filter press or a roll press can be used for solid-liquid separation, and a band heater, batch heater, spray dryer, or the like is used for drying. Drying may be performed in a non-oxidizing atmosphere such as nitrogen gas so that the valence of tin is kept to be bivalent, but drying is also possible in normal air. The drying temperature is preferably in the range of 50 to 120 ° C.
