Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of flaky silver powder, and in particular relates to a method for preparing flaky silver powder with low bulk density using a turbine sand mill. Background Art

[0002] When flaky silver powder is used as a conductive filler to form a conductive path, it has a relatively low resistance because its particles are in surface contact or line contact, the contact surface is larger, and the silver flake structure forms repeated superposition of upper and lower layers to form a dense conductive circuit. At the same time, the specific surface area of ​​flaky silver powder is larger than that of spherical silver powder, and the surface activation energy is lower than that of spherical or quasi-spherical silver powder, so its oxidation tendency is lower. Flaky silver powder can greatly improve the reliability of electronic components because of its wide deflection range and anti-fracture and elongation characteristics. The silver paste coating made of flaky silver powder has a larger area, so it can maintain good conductivity while reducing the silver content of the silver paste and the thickness of the coating.

[0003] Flake silver powder with a larger diameter-to-thickness ratio often exhibits a lower bulk density, a larger number of silver powder particles per unit volume, and excellent conductivity at a lower silver content. The printed coating is also thinner, which not only effectively reduces the amount of silver used, but also effectively increases the volatilization rate of the silver paste solvent during low-temperature curing, which can meet the needs of quick-drying processes. After curing, the low-temperature silver paste prepared with silver powder with low bulk density has a dense conductive network and good conductive properties, while spherical silver powder with a large bulk density has better conductivity after sintering.

[0004] The mainstream preparation methods of flaky silver powder include mechanical ball milling, chemical reduction, photoinduction, etc. Among them, mechanical ball milling is the most widely used. This method usually uses AgNO3 or Ag2O as the silver source, and uses a chemical precipitation method to reduce it to spherical silver particles of different particle sizes using a reducing agent under the protection of an additive or dispersant. Then, by controlling the ball-to-material ratio, ball milling aid, ball milling speed, ball milling time and other parameters, the spherical silver particles are ball milled by mechanical ball milling to obtain flaky silver powder. The ball milling process is actually a "beating and smashing" effect exerted on the spherical silver powder below the tank body by the movement of the grinding ball in the tank body and when it falls from the highest point of the tank body, the spherical silver powder is deformed into flaky silver powder.

[0005] The most commonly used mechanical ball mill is the drum ball mill, which has low ball milling efficiency and long grinding time. The sand mill is a high-speed stirring ball mill newly developed from the mechanical ball mill. Compared with the traditional ball mill, the sand mill has stronger shear force and impact force, and the grinding efficiency is increased by 2-3 times.

[0006] However, how to ensure that the material circulates smoothly and is evenly ground in the turbine sand mill to obtain flaky silver powder with low bulk density is an urgent problem to be solved. Summary of the invention

[0007] In order to solve the above technical problems, the present invention proposes a method for preparing low bulk density flaky silver powder by a turbine sand mill. By controlling the solid-liquid ratio of the wet abrasive, a spherical silver powder-ethanol dispersion with good fluidity and uniform dispersion is obtained as a slurry, which can not only meet the smooth circulation of materials under the action of the pneumatic diaphragm pump of the turbine sand mill, but also improve the grinding efficiency. In addition, pretreatment of the low-solid content wet abrasive with an anti-settling agent and a silane coupling agent can effectively prevent settling, ensure that the spherical silver powder particles are evenly ground during the cyclic grinding process, make the degree of flaking more uniform, and thus reduce the bulk density of the flaky silver powder.

Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0031] This embodiment provides a method for preparing low bulk density flaky silver powder using a turbine sand mill. Figure 1 The method comprises the following steps:

[0032] Step S1, mixing an anti-settling agent and a silane coupling agent to obtain an anti-settling agent solution.

[0033] Step S2, adding the anti-precipitation agent solution into anhydrous ethanol and stirring at a first speed for a first preset time to obtain an anti-precipitation agent-ethanol dispersion.

[0034] Step S3, adding the spherical silver powder into the anti-precipitation agent-ethanol dispersion and stirring at a second speed for a second preset time to obtain the spherical silver powder-ethanol dispersion after anti-precipitation pretreatment.

[0035] Step S4, adding a dispersant to the spherical silver powder-ethanol dispersion after the anti-precipitation pretreatment and stirring at a third speed for a third preset time to obtain a material to be ground.

[0036] Step S5, grinding the material to be ground with a turbine sand mill to obtain a flaky silver powder-ethanol dispersion, and then drying and sieving the flaky silver powder-ethanol dispersion to obtain flaky silver powder.

[0037] Among them, the mass of the anti-settling agent is 0.2%-1% of the mass of the spherical silver powder, the mass ratio of the anti-settling agent to the silane coupling agent is 1:10 to 1:2, the mass ratio of the spherical silver powder to anhydrous ethanol is 1:4 to 2:3, and the mass of the dispersant is 0.05%-0.15% of the mass of the spherical silver powder.

[0038] Preferably, the mass of the anti-settling agent is 0.5%-0.7% of the mass of the spherical silver powder, the mass ratio of the anti-settling agent to the silane coupling agent is 1:8 to 1:5, the mass ratio of the spherical silver powder to anhydrous ethanol is 1:3 to 1:2, and the mass of the dispersant is 0.09%-0.11% of the mass of the spherical silver powder.
