Description
本実施の形態に係るニッケル-コバルトナノ粒子(以下、これを単に「ナノ粒子」ということがある。)は、実質的にニッケルからなるコアと、コアの全面を実質的に覆う実質的にコバルトからなるシェルを含む。ここで、ナノ粒子は、コアが少量のコバルトを含み、また、シェルが少量のニッケルを含む形態を排除するものではない。すなわち、「実質的にニッケルからなるコア」とは、コア中に不可避的に含まれる少量のコバルトの存在を許容するが、大半はニッケルからなるという意味であり、「実質的にコバルトからなるシェル」とは、シェル中に不可避的に含まれる少量のニッケルの存在を許容するが、大半はコバルトからなるという意味である。また、ナノ粒子のシェルはコアの全面を覆うものであることが望ましいが、これに限らず、一部ニッケルが露出する形態を排除するものではない。つまり、「コアの全面を実質的に覆う」とは、シェルがコアを完全に覆う形態だけでなく、本発明の効果(ナノ粒子の機能)を損なわない範囲でシェルが不連続に形成され、部分的にコアが露出した形態を許容するが、ニッケル-コバルトナノ粒子の表面の大半はシェルからなるという意味である。またナノ粒子は、コバルトのシェルとニッケルの間にインナーシェルを有する構成であってもよい。 [Nickel-cobalt nanoparticles]
The nickel-cobalt nanoparticles according to the present embodiment (hereinafter sometimes simply referred to as “nanoparticles”) are substantially a core made of nickel and substantially cobalt substantially covering the entire surface of the core. Includes a shell consisting of Here, the nanoparticles do not exclude the form in which the core contains a small amount of cobalt and the shell contains a small amount of nickel. In other words, “substantially nickel core” means that a small amount of cobalt inevitably contained in the core is allowed, but most of it consists of nickel, and “substantially cobalt shell”. "Means that a small amount of nickel inevitably contained in the shell is allowed, but most consists of cobalt. Moreover, it is desirable that the nanoparticle shell covers the entire surface of the core. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and does not exclude a form in which nickel is partially exposed. That is, “substantially covering the entire surface of the core” means not only a form in which the shell completely covers the core, but also a discontinuous formation of the shell within a range that does not impair the effect of the present invention (the function of the nanoparticles). While the partially exposed core is allowed, it means that most of the surface of the nickel-cobalt nanoparticles consists of a shell. Moreover, the structure which has an inner shell between the shell of cobalt and nickel may be sufficient as a nanoparticle.
次に、ニッケル-コバルトナノ粒子を好適に得るためのニッケル-コバルトナノ粒子の製造方法について説明する。本実施の形態に係るニッケル-コバルトナノ粒子の製造方法(以下、単に「ナノ粒子の製造方法」ということがある。)として第一の例~第三の例を挙げる。 [Method of producing nickel-cobalt nanoparticles]
Next, a method for producing nickel-cobalt nanoparticles for suitably obtaining nickel-cobalt nanoparticles will be described. As a method for producing nickel-cobalt nanoparticles according to the present embodiment (hereinafter sometimes simply referred to as “a method for producing nanoparticles”), first to third examples will be given.
ナノ粒子の製造方法の第一の例は、ニッケル塩、コバルト塩および1級アミンを含む混合物を加熱して錯化反応液を得る工程と、錯化反応液を加熱してニッケル-コバルトナノ粒子スラリーを得る工程を有する。 <First example>
A first example of a method for producing nanoparticles includes a step of heating a mixture containing a nickel salt, a cobalt salt and a primary amine to obtain a complexing reaction solution, and heating the complexing reaction solution to obtain nickel-cobalt nanoparticles. Obtaining a slurry.
ナノ粒子の製造方法の第二の例は、ニッケル微粒子、コバルト塩および1級アミンを含む混合物を加熱して錯化反応液を得る工程と、錯化反応液を加熱してニッケル-コバルトナノ粒子スラリーを得る工程を有する。すなわち、第一の例のニッケル塩に代えてニッケル微粒子を用いる。 <Second example>
The second example of the method for producing nanoparticles includes a step of heating a mixture containing nickel fine particles, a cobalt salt and a primary amine to obtain a complexing reaction solution, and heating the complexing reaction solution to obtain nickel-cobalt nanoparticles. Obtaining a slurry. That is, nickel fine particles are used in place of the nickel salt of the first example.
ナノ粒子の製造方法の第三の例は、コバルト塩および1級アミンを含む混合物を加熱して錯化反応液を得る工程と、錯化反応液にニッケル微粒子を加えた後、加熱してニッケル-コバルトナノ粒子スラリーを得る工程を有する。すなわち、第二の例のニッケル微粒子を錯化反応液生成過程ではなく、ニッケル-コバルトナノ粒子スラリー生成過程で加える。 <Third example>
A third example of the method for producing nanoparticles includes a step of heating a mixture containing a cobalt salt and a primary amine to obtain a complexing reaction solution, adding nickel fine particles to the complexing reaction solution, and then heating to obtain nickel. -Obtaining a cobalt nanoparticle slurry; That is, the nickel fine particles of the second example are added not in the complexing reaction solution generation process but in the nickel-cobalt nanoparticle slurry generation process.
本工程では、ニッケル塩、コバルト塩および1級アミンを含む混合物を加熱するか(第一の例)、ニッケル微粒子、コバルト塩および1級アミンを含む混合物を加熱するか(第二の例)、あるいは、コバルト塩および1級アミンを含む混合物を加熱する(第三の例)ことにより、ニッケル及び/又はコバルトの錯体を生成させ、錯化反応液を得る。ここで、錯化反応液とは、ニッケル塩及び/又はコバルト塩と1級アミンとの反応によって生成する反応生成液(反応生成物)をいう。錯化反応液は、錯体として、第一の例ではニッケル錯体及びコバルト錯体を、第二の例並びに第三の例ではコバルト錯体を、含有すると考えられる。錯化反応液を加熱することにより、ニッケル錯体及び/又はコバルト錯体のニッケルイオン及び/又はコバルトイオンが還元され、該イオンに配位しているカルボン酸イオンが同時に分解し、最終的に0価のNi及び/又は0価のCoが生成し、コア-シェル構造のナノ粒子が生成する。 [Step of obtaining complexing reaction solution]
In this step, a mixture containing nickel salt, cobalt salt and primary amine is heated (first example), or a mixture containing nickel fine particles, cobalt salt and primary amine is heated (second example), Or the complex containing nickel and / or cobalt is produced | generated by heating the mixture containing a cobalt salt and a primary amine (3rd example), and a complexing reaction liquid is obtained. Here, the complexing reaction liquid refers to a reaction product liquid (reaction product) generated by a reaction between a nickel salt and / or a cobalt salt and a primary amine. It is considered that the complexing reaction solution contains, as a complex, a nickel complex and a cobalt complex in the first example, and a cobalt complex in the second example and the third example. By heating the complexing reaction solution, the nickel ions and / or cobalt ions of the nickel complex and / or cobalt complex are reduced, and the carboxylate ions coordinated to the ions are simultaneously decomposed, and finally zero-valent. Ni and / or zero-valent Co are formed, and core-shell structured nanoparticles are formed.
ニッケル塩およびコバルト塩は、いずれも、特に限定するものではないが、炭素数が1~3の直鎖カルボン酸基または下記構造式(1)で示される基のうちのいずれか一方または双方を有するものが好ましい。下記構造式(1)で示される基は、1,3-ジケトナト基(β-ジケトナト配位子)である。ニッケル塩およびコバルト塩は、同種の塩であっても異種の塩であってもよい。また、ニッケル塩およびコバルト塩は、いずれも、無水物であってもよく、また水和物であってもよい。 (Nickel salt, cobalt salt)
The nickel salt and the cobalt salt are not particularly limited, but either one or both of a linear carboxylic acid group having 1 to 3 carbon atoms and a group represented by the following structural formula (1) are used. What has is preferable. The group represented by the following structural formula (1) is a 1,3-diketonato group (β-diketonato ligand). The nickel salt and cobalt salt may be the same or different salts. Further, both the nickel salt and the cobalt salt may be anhydrides or hydrates.
ナノ粒子の製造方法の第二の例および第三の例で用いるニッケル微粒子は、粒径の大きさを限定するものではないが、例えば5~200nmの粒径のものを用いることが好ましい。粒径が5nmを下回ると、凝集が激しく、液中でも分散しにくくなるおそれがある。一方、粒径が200nmを超えと、粒子の比表面積が過小となって、十分な反応が行われないおそれがある。また、ニッケル微粒子の形状は、例えば球形、擬球形等が好ましいが、球形が最も好ましい。 (Nickel fine particles)
The nickel fine particles used in the second and third examples of the nanoparticle production method are not limited in size, but for example, those having a particle size of 5 to 200 nm are preferably used. When the particle size is less than 5 nm, aggregation is severe and there is a possibility that it is difficult to disperse even in the liquid. On the other hand, when the particle size exceeds 200 nm, the specific surface area of the particles becomes too small, and there is a possibility that sufficient reaction is not performed. The shape of the nickel fine particles is preferably, for example, spherical or pseudospherical, but most preferably spherical.
1級アミンは、ニッケルイオンやコバルトイオンとの錯体を形成することができ、ニッケル錯体(又はニッケルイオン)に対する還元能を効果的に発揮する。一方、2級アミンは立体障害が大きいため、ニッケル錯体やコバルト錯体の良好な形成を阻害するおそれがあり、3級アミンはニッケルイオンやコバルトイオンの還元能を有しないため、いずれも使用できない。 (Primary amine)
The primary amine can form a complex with a nickel ion or a cobalt ion, and effectively exhibits a reducing ability for the nickel complex (or nickel ion). On the other hand, secondary amines have large steric hindrance, which may hinder good formation of nickel complexes and cobalt complexes, and tertiary amines cannot be used because they do not have the ability to reduce nickel ions and cobalt ions.
均一溶液での反応をより効率的に進行させるために、1級アミンとは別の有機溶媒を新たに添加してもよい。有機溶媒を用いる場合、有機溶媒をニッケル塩やコバルト塩と1級アミンと同時に混合してもよいが、ニッケル塩やコバルト塩と1級アミンをまず混合し、錯形成した後に有機溶媒を加えると、1級アミンが効率的にニッケルイオンやコバルトイオンに配位するので、より好ましい。使用できる有機溶媒としては、1級アミンとニッケルイオンもしくはコバルトイオンとの錯形成を阻害しないものであれば、特に限定するものではなく、例えば炭素数4~30のエーテル系有機溶媒、炭素数7~30の飽和又は不飽和の炭化水素系有機溶媒、炭素数8~18のアルコール系有機溶媒等を使用することができる。また、マイクロ波照射等による加熱条件下でも使用を可能とする観点から、使用する有機溶媒は、沸点が170℃以上のものを選択することが好ましく、より好ましくは200~300℃の範囲内にあるものを選択することがよい。このような有機溶媒の具体例としては、例えばテトラエチレングリコール、n-オクチルエーテル等が挙げられる。 (Organic solvent)
In order to proceed the reaction in a homogeneous solution more efficiently, an organic solvent other than the primary amine may be newly added. When using an organic solvent, the organic solvent may be mixed with the nickel salt or cobalt salt and the primary amine at the same time, but when the nickel salt or cobalt salt and the primary amine are first mixed and complexed, the organic solvent is added. Primary amines are more preferable because they efficiently coordinate to nickel ions and cobalt ions. The organic solvent that can be used is not particularly limited as long as it does not inhibit the complex formation between the primary amine and the nickel ion or cobalt ion. For example, the ether-based organic solvent having 4 to 30 carbon atoms, 7 carbon atoms, and the like. A saturated or unsaturated hydrocarbon organic solvent having ˜30, an alcohol organic solvent having 8 to 18 carbon atoms, or the like can be used. From the viewpoint of enabling use even under heating conditions such as by microwave irradiation, it is preferable to select an organic solvent having a boiling point of 170 ° C. or higher, more preferably in the range of 200 to 300 ° C. It is better to choose something. Specific examples of such an organic solvent include tetraethylene glycol and n-octyl ether.
本工程では、錯化反応液を加熱することにより、ニッケル錯体及び/又はコバルト錯体(ニッケルイオン及び/又はコバルトイオン)を金属に還元してナノ粒子を生成させる。例えば、第一の例では、ニッケル錯体およびコバルト錯体の混合物が、還元され、熱分解するとき、ニッケル錯体の方がコバルト錯体よりも先に低い温度で熱分解してアミンにより還元され、ニッケル粒子がコアとなり、そのコアの表面にコバルトのシェルが形成されるものと考えられる。通常、コバルト錯体は熱分解で配位子が解離し、Co2+の錯体からCo(0価)のナノ粒子が形成される。これに対して、本発明では、過剰のオレイルアミン存在下で、Niを触媒としてコバルト錯体がCo2+からCo(0価)へ、通常よりも低温で還元される(錯体が解離する)。 [Step of obtaining nickel-cobalt nanoparticle slurry]
In this step, the complexing reaction solution is heated to reduce the nickel complex and / or cobalt complex (nickel ion and / or cobalt ion) to a metal to generate nanoparticles. For example, in the first example, when a mixture of nickel complex and cobalt complex is reduced and thermally decomposed, the nickel complex is thermally decomposed at a lower temperature before the cobalt complex and reduced by the amine, and the nickel particles Is considered to be a core, and a cobalt shell is formed on the surface of the core. Usually, a cobalt complex is dissociated by thermal decomposition, and Co (zero-valent) nanoparticles are formed from the Co 2+ complex. On the other hand, in the present invention, in the presence of excess oleylamine, the cobalt complex is reduced from Co 2+ to Co (valent 0) at a lower temperature than usual (complex dissociates) using Ni as a catalyst.
本実施の形態に係るナノ粒子の製造方法において、ナノ粒子の粒径を制御するための表面修飾剤として、例えばポリビニルピロリドン(PVP)、ポリエチレンイミン、ポリアクリルアミド等の高分子樹脂、ミリスチン酸、オレイン酸等の長鎖カルボン酸又はカルボン酸塩等を添加することができる。ただし、得られるナノ粒子の表面修飾量が多いと、用途によっては不純物として悪影響を及ぼすおそれがあるため、得られるナノ粒子を洗浄した後の表面修飾量は可能な限り少ない方が好ましい。例えばニッケル電極用の導電性ペーストに用いる場合、ニッケル粒子をペーストして高温で焼成すると充填密度の減少を招き、層間剥離やクラックを生じる可能性がある。従って、表面修飾剤の添加量は、ニッケル元素の合計量100質量部に対して0.1以上100質量部以下の範囲内とすることが好ましい。表面修飾剤は、錯化反応液形成工程におけるカルボン酸ニッケル及び1級アミンの混合物の段階で添加してもよく、錯化反応液形成工程で得られる錯化反応液に添加してもよいが、好ましくは、添加タイミングは錯化反応後か、ニッケルナノ粒子の生成後がよい。 (Addition of surface modifier)
In the method for producing nanoparticles according to the present embodiment, as a surface modifier for controlling the particle size of the nanoparticles, for example, polymer resins such as polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP), polyethyleneimine, polyacrylamide, myristic acid, olein A long-chain carboxylic acid such as an acid or a carboxylate can be added. However, if the surface modification amount of the obtained nanoparticles is large, there is a risk of adverse effects as impurities depending on the use. Therefore, the surface modification amount after washing the obtained nanoparticles is preferably as small as possible. For example, when used as a conductive paste for nickel electrodes, if nickel particles are pasted and fired at a high temperature, the packing density is reduced, and delamination or cracks may occur. Accordingly, the amount of the surface modifier added is preferably in the range of 0.1 to 100 parts by mass with respect to 100 parts by mass of the total amount of nickel elements. The surface modifier may be added at the stage of the mixture of nickel carboxylate and primary amine in the complexing reaction liquid forming step, or may be added to the complexing reaction liquid obtained in the complexing reaction liquid forming step. Preferably, the timing of addition is after the complexing reaction or after the formation of nickel nanoparticles.
