Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of electrochemical surface modification technology, specifically to a superhydrophilic layer on the surface of copper-based materials, its preparation method, and its application. Background Technology

[0002] The wettability of solid surfaces is closely related to their surface physics, chemistry, and mechanics, and has been a research hotspot in multiple disciplines such as mechanical engineering, materials science, chemistry, and thermophysics in recent years. The contact angle definition is the most common and widely used method both domestically and internationally. According to the definition of the solid-liquid interface contact angle (CA), surfaces with CA > 150° are called superhydrophobic surfaces, and those with CA < 5° are called superhydrophilic surfaces. Currently, there are methods and technologies for preparing superhydrophobic copper surfaces and different superhydrophobic surface morphologies, but research on the preparation structures of superhydrophilic surfaces of copper-based materials is far less extensive than that on superhydrophobic surfaces.

[0003] In recent years, with the miniaturization, integration, and high power of electronic devices, especially the high heat flux of microelectronic devices, the reliability and safety of these devices face severe challenges. Currently, the heat dissipation problem of microelectronic devices mainly manifests in excessively high local heat flux density and the easy accumulation of heat in localized areas, leading to excessively high local temperatures and uneven temperature distribution. Therefore, there is an urgent need for high heat flux heat dissipation technologies in small-scale spaces. Existing research shows that micro / nano porous surfaces can increase the vaporization core density, enhance boiling heat transfer performance, and that micro / nano structures can effectively improve the hydrophilic properties of the surface.

[0004] Currently, most methods for preparing superhydrophilic surfaces of copper-based materials involve electroplating the cathode followed by heat treatment. However, cathode electroplating causes continuous anode wear, requiring frequent anode replacements and resulting in high costs. Furthermore, cathode methods cannot form gradient micro / nano pore structures on the surface of copper-based materials, leading to strong capillary forces and poor permeability, which reduces the transport efficiency of the cooling medium. Therefore, developing anodic methods for preparing superhydrophilic copper surfaces is of great significance. Summary of the Invention

[0034] In a first aspect, the present invention provides a method for preparing a superhydrophilic layer on the surface of a copper-based material, comprising the following steps:

[0035] (1) Pretreatment of pure copper surface: After grinding the pure copper surface, polish it, and then rinse it;

[0036] (2) Electrolyte preparation: Add ammonium halide and appropriate amount of water to a low alcohol solvent. The water is selected from at least one of ultrapure water, high-purity water or deionized water. The resulting mixed solution is the electrolyte.

[0037] (3) Electrochemical deposition: Keep the electrolyte prepared in step (2) at a constant temperature, use the pure copper pretreated in step (1) as the anode and the cathode as the inert electrode, immerse it in the electrolyte, and generate Cu(OH)2 on the surface of the pure copper anode by controlling the constant current or constant voltage. After the deposition is completed, clean it.

[0038] (4) Oxidation sintering: The anodic pure copper with Cu(OH)2 surface obtained in step (3) is oxidized and sintered to obtain a copper oxide superhydrophilic layer, which is a three-layer micro-nano structure.

[0039] In this invention, copper-based materials refer to materials with a copper content of 99.5% or more, such as pure copper.

[0040] In this invention, the method of polishing the pure copper surface in step (1) can be widely selected, and the surface roughness can reach Ra 0.025-0.05. Preferably, sandpaper is used for polishing in step (1).

[0041] In this invention, the polishing method for the pure copper surface in step (1) can be widely selected, and the polishing level can reach polishing level 4 (bright surface, with outlines clearly visible). Preferably, chemical polishing is used, and the polishing agent can be HNO3, H3PO4, or a mixture thereof, with a mass concentration of 10%-60%.

[0042] In this invention, the rinsing method in step (1) can be widely selected, and the degree of rinsing can reach a residual ionic contaminant content ≤5.0 μg / cm³. 2 Either is acceptable. Preferably, in step (1), the sample is first rinsed with a solution of sodium bicarbonate, potassium bicarbonate, or ammonium bicarbonate, and then rinsed with water. More preferably, the water is ultrapure water, high-purity water, or deionized water. Most preferably, rinsing with sodium bicarbonate solution and ultrapure water in sequence can quickly achieve a residual ionic contaminant content ≤5.0 μg / cm2, and is more conducive to subsequent electrochemical reactions.

[0043] In this invention, the choice of lower alcohol solvent in step (2) can be quite broad. In some preferred embodiments, the lower alcohol solvent in step (2) includes at least one of ethylene glycol, isopropanol, propylene glycol, methanol, and ethanol.

[0044] In this invention, the ammonium halide in step (2) can be of a wide variety. In some preferred embodiments, in step (2), the ammonium halide includes at least one of NH4F, NH4Cl, NH4Br, and NH4I. In some more preferred embodiments, in step (2), the ammonium halide is NH4F or NH4Cl.

[0050] In this invention, the sintering temperature of the oxidation sintering can be selected within a wide range, as long as the Cu(OH)2 generated on the surface of the pure copper anode is completely converted into copper oxide. Generally, the lower the heat treatment temperature, the easier it is to form nanoparticles; the higher the temperature, the larger the grains will be. When the temperature is high, reaching 700℃ or even higher, the size of the surface hydrophilic layer particles will increase to the micrometer level. Therefore, if a three-layer micro / nano structure is to be formed, the heat treatment temperature should not be too low or too high. Preferably, the sintering temperature is 200℃-700℃. More preferably, the sintering temperature is 400℃-600℃. Preferably, in step (4), the oxidation sintering is a segmented heating sintering with a heating rate of 5-10℃ / min.

It has both large capillary force and good permeability, thereby making the cooling working fluid transport efficiency higher. It also has the advantages of simple process, convenient operation, and high yield (reaching more than 95%).

[0090] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention and do not constitute a limitation on the content of the present invention.
