The application belongs to the technical field of
conductive materials, and particularly relates to silver-coated
copper powder based on
copper powder pretreatment and a preparation method thereof. The preparation method is characterized in that the method comprises the following steps: (1) after the
copper powder is laid flat, the copper powder is placed in a
tube furnace, heated to a target temperature, air is introduced, heat preservation is performed, and cooling to
room temperature is performed to complete the oxidation treatment of the copper powder; (2) a
reducing agent, a complexing agent, a dispersing agent, a brightener and deionized water are stirred and mixed uniformly to prepare a reducing solution; then the copper powder after the oxidation treatment is added to the reducing solution, and continuous stirring is performed to obtain a copper powder-containing reducing solution; (3)
silver nitrate solution is added to the copper powder-containing reducing solution, temperature is maintained, stirring is performed, and separation, washing and
drying are performed to obtain the silver-coated copper powder based on the copper powder pretreatment. The silver-coated copper powder prepared by the application has good
coating effect, so that the silver shell is uniformly distributed on the surface of the copper powder in the
nucleation stage, thereby ensuring the uniform and dense
coating of the silver shell.
