Problems solved by technology

However, the metal oxide film has disadvantages such as high film formation cost, weak flexibility, and the main factor hindering the flexibility of the final product.
In addition, high transparency and high conductivity are required for conductive films of touch panel sensors, one of the main applications of transparent conductive films, but recently, requirements for visibility have become more stringent.
In the conventional ITO thin film, in order to obtain conductivity, the thickness of the ITO layer needs to be increased, but the increase in thickness leads to a decrease in transparency, and the improvement of visibility cannot be achieved.

Embodiment 1

[0086] (Cross-flow purification process)

[0087] The silver nanowire dispersion (equivalent to Figure 4 , Image 6 The dispersion liquid) was diluted with pure water to a silver nanowire concentration of 0.03% by mass, and subjected to cross-flow filtration using a porous ceramic filter for purification. At this time, a required amount of silver nanowires was prepared so that the entire amount became 5 L.

[0088] Figure 7 A photograph of the appearance of a porous ceramic tube used as a porous ceramic filter is shown in . Figure 8 The SEM photograph of the ceramic is shown in . The ceramic material is SiC (silicon carbide), and the size is 12 mm in outer diameter, 9 mm in inner diameter, and 250 mm in length. The average pore diameter by the mercury porosimetry using a mercury porosimeter manufactured by Micromeritics was 8.25 μm. In addition, the pore volume is 0.192cm 3 / g, the density is 1.82g / cm 3 , the true density is 2.80g / cm 3 , The porosity is 35.0%.

Embodiment 2

[0109] The silver nanowires obtained in Comparative Example 2 were purified by cross-flow filtration in the same manner as in Example 1.

[0110] Figure 17 exemplifies the SEM photographs of the silver nanowires recovered after the above-mentioned purification. The average length of the silver nanowires was 10.0 μm, and the number ratio of nanowires of 5.0 μm or less was 15.0%. In addition, the average diameter was 30.1 nm, and the average aspect ratio was 10000 / 30.1≒333.

[0111] Figure 18 The length distribution (number ratio) of the silver nanowires obtained in this example is shown in . and before purification ( Figure 16 ), the proportion of short lines is significantly reduced.

Embodiment 3

[0114] (Nanowire Synthesis Process)

[0115] Silver nanowires were obtained in the following manner.

[0116] Propylene glycol (1,2-propanediol) as an alcohol solvent, silver nitrate as a silver compound, lithium chloride as a chloride, potassium bromide as a bromide, lithium hydroxide as an alkali metal hydroxide, as Aluminum nitrate nonahydrate of aluminum salt, a copolymer of vinylpyrrolidone and diallyldimethylammonium nitrate (99% by mass of vinylpyrrolidone, diallyldimethylammonium nitrate) as an organic protective agent 1% by mass of ammonium nitrate was used to prepare a copolymer, and the weight average molecular weight was 130000).

Abstract

An aim of the invention is to manufacture a metal nanowire having improved length distribution uniformity and reduced prevalence of short nanowires. A method for manufacturing a metal nanowire having improved length distribution uniformity, in which: metal nanowires are caused to flow together with the flow of a liquid medium within a tubular channel that has, on the channel wall surface, a porous ceramic filter having an average pore diameter of 1.0 [mu]m or above as measured by the mercury penetration method; some of the flowing metal nanowires are discharged with some of the liquid medium through the porous ceramic filter to the exterior of the tubular channel; and the metal nanowires that have continued to flow in the channel without being discharged to the exterior of the tubular channel are recovered.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a method for producing a metal nanowire useful as a material for forming a transparent conductive film, particularly a metal nanowire with improved uniformity in length distribution. Background technique [0002] In this specification, a collection of thin metal nanowires with a thickness of about 200 nm or less is referred to as "nanowires". Taking powder as an example, individual wires correspond to "particles" constituting the powder, and nanowires (nanowires) correspond to "powder" which is a collection of particles. In addition, in this specification, individual nanowires corresponding to particles of powder may be referred to as "wire-shaped particles". [0003] Metal nanowires are expected as conductive raw materials for imparting conductivity to transparent substrates. When a liquid containing metal nanowires (metal nanowire ink) is applied to a transparent substrate such as glass, PET (polyethylene terephthal...
