Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of printed electronic materials technology, and in particular to a method for preparing and applying laser-cured conductive silver ink. Background Technology
[0002] The field of microelectronics is booming, encompassing key devices such as active-matrix organic light-emitting diodes (AMOLEDs), thin-film transistors (TFTs), and radio frequency identification tags (RFID). In the field of flexible electronics and printed circuits, conductive silver ink serves as a core functional material, its performance directly determining the device's flexibility and conductivity reliability. An ideal conductive ink should meet core requirements such as low cost, no pollution, ease of preparation and storage, simple post-processing, and high conductivity.
[0003] Conductive inks are mainly divided into two categories: particulate and non-particulate. Particulate conductive inks (CN201710559121.3) suffer from problems such as easy agglomeration during storage and the need to add dispersants to maintain the stability of nanoparticles. However, the introduction of dispersants can lead to a decrease in conductivity, limiting their large-scale application and long-term stability. Non-particulate conductive inks are composed of precursors, complexing agents, solvents, and additives. In essence, they are complex systems formed by silver precursors and complexing agents. The silver precursor exists in the solvent in the form of a complex, avoiding the problem of printhead clogging caused by the agglomeration of silver nanoparticles and the complex synthesis and purification process. However, non-particulate conductive inks still face core bottlenecks: silver salts have poor solubility in most organic solvents, making it difficult to prepare a uniform and stable silver ink system. Furthermore, the high curing temperature (CN202011473758.9) and long curing time limit their application on flexible substrates such as paper and PET.
[0004] Laser sintering technology, as a novel curing method, boasts significant advantages such as concentrated energy, rapid heating, small heat-affected zone, and low damage to flexible substrates, making it a key technology for achieving efficient printed electronics production. However, existing particle-free conductive inks are mostly designed for traditional thermosetting methods. The light absorption and thermal decomposition characteristics of their components (such as solvents and complexing agents) are incompatible with laser light sources, leading to inefficient decomposition and reduction under laser radiation, or problems such as the "coffee ring effect" and film cracking, making it difficult to form a uniform, highly conductive silver film. Therefore, developing a particle-free conductive silver ink highly compatible with laser sintering processes has become an urgent technical problem to be solved in this field. Summary of the Invention
[0005] To address the aforementioned issues, this invention aims to develop a low-cost, high-performance, particle-free conductive silver ink highly compatible with laser sintering processes. The core idea of this invention is to utilize a branched silver carboxylate precursor and precisely control the solvent system and complexing components of the ink to construct a silver complex system with high absorption for specific wavelength lasers and rapid decomposition and reduction under low-energy irradiation, thus perfectly matching the laser sintering process. The branched alkyl chains have a larger spatial volume than straight-chain alkyl chains, effectively weakening the lattice energy between silver salt molecules, reducing the density of molecular packing, and resulting in silver amine complexes with better solubility in solvents. Traditional conductive silver ink systems typically use polar solvents to dissolve silver salts, but the resulting silver complexes have low laser absorption efficiency and a wide thermal decomposition temperature window, making instantaneous and complete reduction difficult under the instantaneous high temperatures of lasers. This invention innovatively uses non-polar solvents to construct the system. First, based on the principle of "like dissolves like," the long carbon chain "hydrophobic shielding layer" on the outside of the silver amine complex exhibits excellent compatibility with non-polar solvents, enabling stable dissolution of silver salts at high concentrations and forming a uniform and stable particle-free ink system. Second, and more importantly, the non-polar solvent environment can alter the coordination geometry of the silver amine complex (e.g., from 2-coordinate to 3- or 4-coordinate), which not only lowers its thermal decomposition temperature but, more importantly, enhances its photon absorption efficiency for specific wavelength lasers. This allows it to rapidly and uniformly decompose and reduce to metallic silver under low-energy laser irradiation, perfectly matching the "rapid heating and cooling" process characteristics of laser sintering and avoiding substrate damage and the "coffee ring effect" common in thermal curing. Furthermore, non-polar solvents have better wettability with commonly used low surface energy flexible substrates (such as PET and PI), significantly enhancing the adhesion between the silver film and the substrate. Therefore, this invention provides a method for preparing laser-curable conductive silver ink for electronic components. This ink exhibits strong stability, high compatibility with laser sintering processes, and a simple preparation method, making it easy to achieve industrial production.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: A particle-free conductive silver ink, the raw materials of which include a silver precursor, an amine complexing agent, a non-polar organic solvent and additives, wherein the silver precursor and the amine complexing agent form a uniform and stable silver-amine complex solution in a non-polar organic solvent.
[0007] Furthermore, the raw materials are expressed in the following percentages by mass: silver precursor: 42-65%, amine complexing agent: 5-23%, non-polar organic solvent: 15-50%, additives: 0.1-2%, and the sum of the percentages of each raw material is 100%.
[0008] Further, an example of the silver precursor synthesis steps: Sodium hydroxide solution is slowly added dropwise to an equimolar amount of neodecanoic acid-methanol solution to adjust the pH to 7-8, and stirred for 30 min. Then, an equimolar amount of silver nitrate solution is slowly added dropwise, the mixture is cooled in a water bath, and stirred for 30 min to generate a white precipitate of silver neodecanoate. The stirring speed is 1000 rpm throughout the process. The white precipitate is collected by filtration, washed three times with deionized water, washed three times with anhydrous methanol, and finally placed in a vacuum drying oven at 45°C for 12 h.
[0009] Furthermore, the silver precursor is at least one of silver 2-ethylhexanoate, silver neopentanoate, silver 3,5,5-trimethylhexanoate, and silver neodecanoate.
[0010] Furthermore, the amine complexing agent includes at least one selected from n-propylamine, isopropylamine, n-butylamine, isobutylamine, n-hexylamine, octylamine, ethylenediamine, 1,2-propanediamine, ethanolamine, diethanolamine, and triethanolamine. The amine complexing agent contains a ligand capable of complexing with silver.
[0011] Furthermore, the nonpolar organic solvent includes at least one of toluene, o-xylene, m-xylene, p-xylene, 1,2,3-trimethylbenzene, 1,2,4-trimethylbenzene, 1,3,5-trimethylbenzene, heptene, octene, nonene, decene, 1-dodecene, dodecane, tetradecane, and 1,6-hexanediol diacrylate. These solvents not only have high solubility for silver-amine complexes but also good transmittance or weak absorption at commonly used laser wavelengths, which facilitates the direct application of laser energy to the silver-amine complex and improves energy utilization efficiency.
[0012] Furthermore, the additives include rheology modifiers: hydrophobic nano-silica, polyamide wax, hydrogenated castor oil, organobentonite, ethyl cellulose; cosolvents: dibutyl phthalate, diethylene glycol dibutyl ether, α-terpineol, hexadecane, neodecanoic acid; dispersing stabilizers: PVP-K16-18; chelating agents: acetylacetone; thickeners: polyvinyl alcohol; adhesion promoters: 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane; and surfactants: at least one of oleamide and FC-4430.
[0013] The present invention also provides a method for preparing the laser-curable particle-free conductive silver ink, comprising the following steps: mixing an amine complexing agent, a non-polar organic solvent and an additive, and stirring until homogeneous; then adding a silver precursor and stirring continuously until it is completely dissolved to form a silver-amine complex; finally filtering to obtain the particle-free conductive silver ink suitable for laser sintering.
[0014] Furthermore, the filtration involves passing the finally completely dissolved mixture through a syringe-type filter membrane with a pore size of 0.22 μm to remove any residual impurities.
[0015] The present invention also provides a method for preparing a conductive film on a substrate using the conductive silver ink, comprising the following steps: coating the conductive silver ink onto the surface of the substrate; and using a laser beam to scan and sinter the substrate coated with conductive silver ink, thereby decomposing and reducing the silver-amine complex to form a conductive film.
[0016] Furthermore, the coating method is either printing or film coating. Printing includes one of inkjet printing, screen printing, gravure printing, letterpress printing, or flexographic printing; film coating includes one of squeegee coating, spin coating, spray coating, or dip coating.
[0017] Furthermore, the substrate is a flexible polyethylene terephthalate film (PET) or a polyimide film (PI).
[0018] Furthermore, the parameters of the laser sintering process are: 355nm ultraviolet laser, laser energy 0.36-0.42W, and sintering time 1-3min. Excessive curing energy accelerates film formation, leading to numerous pores on the surface, or the solvent rapidly accelerates the evaporation process as temperature rises, with faster evaporation rates at the edges. To compensate for the rapid solvent loss at the edges, the liquid inside the droplets flows from the center to the edges, resulting in the "coffee ring effect," causing uneven distribution of the conductive film and reducing its conductivity. Insufficient curing temperature prevents the required sintering energy from being reached, resulting in incomplete decomposition and reduction reactions. This invention, through optimized matching of laser energy and time, ensures efficient decomposition of the silver-amine complex in a non-polar solvent environment, forming a dense, uniform, and highly conductive silver film, while avoiding thermal damage to the flexible substrate.
[0019] By adopting the aforementioned technical solution, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: The particle-free conductive silver ink of the present invention has a simple preparation process, is easy to industrialize, and saves raw material costs.
[0020] The particle-free conductive silver ink of this invention uses a non-polar solvent system to regulate the coordination structure and light absorption characteristics of the silver-amine complex, giving it high absorption efficiency and rapid decomposition and reduction capabilities for lasers. This perfectly matches the "fast heating and cooling" process characteristics of laser sintering, significantly shortening the curing time (in minutes).
[0021] The conductive film of this invention has high quality. The instantaneous high energy of the laser enables the silver complex to nucleate and grow rapidly, resulting in a dense and uniform film that effectively avoids the "coffee ring effect" common in thermosetting, thereby achieving high conductivity.
[0022] The particle-free conductive silver ink of this invention has low curing energy consumption and minimal damage to the substrate: the laser sintering energy required for conductive silver ink is low (0.36-0.42W), and it can quickly reduce the silver film at low temperatures. It is particularly suitable for flexible materials such as PET and PI that are not resistant to high temperatures, greatly expanding its application in the field of flexible electronics.
[0023] The conductive film of the present invention has strong adhesion, and the non-polar solvent has excellent wettability on flexible substrates with low surface energy (such as PET and PI), which significantly enhances the adhesion between the conductive film and the substrate after curing.
[0024] The particle-free conductive silver ink of the present invention has good stability. The non-polar solvent has excellent dissolving ability for silver-amine complex. The resulting particle-free ink system is highly stable, can be stored for a long time, and does not clog the printhead. Attached Figure Description
