Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application belongs to the field of heat-conducting materials, and relates to a composite heat-conducting material of a copper foil substrate, in particular to a composite liquid metal interface heat-conducting material and a preparation method thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] At present, power electronic devices are very dependent on passive cooling systems, and with the improvement of the integration of electronic components, how to achieve a high heat conduction rate has become a research hotspot. Among them, the research on thermal interface materials is the key. The thermal interface material is a material used for coating between the heat-dissipating electronic components and the heat-generating electronic components to reduce the contact thermal resistance between the two electronic components.

[0003] Liquid metal is a low-melting alloy with high thermal conductivity (10-20 W / m.K) near its melting point, and is a common thermal interface material. However, the thermal conductivity of pure liquid metal is still not high enough, and the industry hopes to have an interface heat-conducting material with higher thermal conductivity, and the thermal conductivity thereof is preferably up to 120 W / m.K.

[0004] Generally, high-thermal-conductivity material powders such as micro-nano aluminum oxide powder and copper powder are added to the liquid metal, so that the thermal conductivity thereof can reach up to 120 W / m.K. However, the micro-nano added powder is easy to reduce the thermal conductivity of the heat-conducting material due to delamination and agglomeration during use, and the thermal cycle performance thereof is poor.

[0005] There are also many thermal interface materials in the prior art that composite liquid metal and metal foam (such as foam copper, foam nickel, foam aluminum, etc.). Since the foam metal is completely connected together with through holes, these materials can be well combined with liquid metal and improve the thermal conductivity of the liquid metal interface heat-conducting material.

[0006] The interface heat-conducting material often hopes that the total thickness thereof is not more than 100 um, and the optimal thickness is about 50 um. However, in the actual industry, such thickness of ultra-thin foam copper is very expensive, and the foam copper prepared by the general process is 2 mm thick at most, and cannot solve the actual needs of the interface heat-conducting material at a suitable cost.

[0007] The industry hopes to have a composite liquid metal interface heat-conducting metal material with a suitable cost, a high thermal conductivity (50-120 W / m.K), and a thickness of 20-60 um. SUMMARY

[0008] The purpose of the present application is to provide a low-cost high-thermal-conductivity liquid metal composite thermal interface material.

[0009] The technical solution of the present application is as follows:

[0010] The application provides a composite thermal interface material composed of a roughened copper foil and liquid metal, which is obtained by rolling a copper foil coated with liquid metal paste on both sides.

[0011] Preferably, the liquid metal paste comprises liquid metal and cross-linking phase material; the composition of the liquid metal is Bi, In, Sn, Ga, and the mass percentage ranges are (25-35):(40-55):(10-18):(3-7), or In, Sn, Ga, and the mass percentage ranges are (15-20):(10-25):(60-80).

[0012] Preferably, the content of the cross-linking phase material in the liquid metal paste is 2-8% of the mass of the liquid metal.

[0013] Preferably, the cross-linking phase material is one or more of metal powder, diamond powder, silicone oil, epoxy resin and polyurethane.

[0014] Preferably, the phase transition temperature of the liquid metal thermal paste is 40-70℃, and the latent heat of phase transition is 250-370J / cc.

[0015] Preferably, the thickness of the liquid metal thermal paste coated on each side of the copper foil is 10-30μm.

[0016] Preferably, the copper foil is electrolytic copper foil or rolled copper foil; the roughening treatment of the copper foil is performed by stamping process on both sides of the copper foil; and the thickness of the copper foil is 20-60μm. After stamping, a large number of densely distributed conical openings are formed on the surface of the copper foil, which can provide a channel for bidirectional contact heat conduction of the liquid metal, and artificially divide the liquid metal into numerous independent small areas, so as to reduce the tendency of internal stratification and agglomeration of the liquid metal, and the conical openings can be more closely combined with the liquid metal due to the roughening treatment.

[0017] Preferably, the copper foil is provided with densely distributed one-way or bidirectional openings, and the opening process is stamping; the diameter of the openings is 0.3-3mm, preferably 1mm; and the opening density is 5-20 / cm2.

[0018] The application also provides a preparation method of the composite thermal material, which comprises the following steps:

[0019] (1) heating and smelting Bi, In, Sn and Ga in proportion to obtain the liquid metal;

[0020] (2) adding the cross-linking phase material in 3-8 times, and heating and stirring to obtain the liquid metal thermal paste;

[0021] (3) stamping the copper foil and performing roughening treatment on the copper foil by perforation;

[0022] (4) coating the liquid metal thermal paste on both sides of the punched copper foil;

[0023] (5) rolling the copper foil coated with the liquid metal thermal paste to obtain the composite thermal conductive material;

[0024] (6) cutting the composite thermal conductive material, preferably cutting the size to 40*40mm / piece.

[0025] Compared with the prior art, the present application has the following beneficial effects:

[0026] The composite thermal interface material prepared by the present application has a high thermal conductivity, which can be as high as 50~120W / m.K. In addition, the substrate material is cheap and easy to obtain, and can be directly prepared by punching and perforating the copper foil (typically the electrode copper foil for batteries). The composite thermal interface material is convenient to use, and can be directly used after being cut into the required shape. The copper foil surface is densely covered with conical openings, which can provide a two-way contact thermal conduction channel for the liquid metal, and also divide the liquid metal into countless independent small areas, each of which can reduce the tendency of internal stratification and aggregation of the liquid metal. The conical openings can also be more closely combined with the liquid metal due to the roughening treatment. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS
