The invention discloses a silver-coated
copper powder preparation method based on
nickel layer enhanced
palladium catalysis and active
hydrogen synergistic deposition, and relates to the technical field of
powder surface treatment. The method specifically comprises the following steps that
copper powder is soaked in acid liquor, then filtering, washing and
drying are conducted, and pretreated
copper powder is obtained; immersing the pretreated copper powder into a
hydrochloric acid solution of
nickel chloride hexahydrate, and then filtering, washing and
drying to obtain sensitized copper powder; immersing the sensitized copper powder into a
hydrochloric acid solution of
palladium chloride, and then filtering, washing and
drying to obtain activated copper powder; mixing the activated copper powder with the reduction solution to obtain a
solid-liquid mixture, adding a silver-
ammonia solution into the
solid-liquid mixture, heating for reaction, and filtering after the reaction is finished to obtain a
solid product; and washing and drying the
solid product to obtain the silver-coated copper powder based on
nickel layer enhanced
palladium catalysis and active
hydrogen synergistic deposition. The silver-coated copper powder with a compact silver layer and high
binding force is prepared through the ternary synergistic effect of nickel layer
sensitization, palladium nanometer activation and
formaldehyde reduction.
