Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of fine chemicals, in particular to a method for preparing dialkyl phosphate diethylamine salt, an electrolyte intermediate of an aluminum capacitor. Background Art

[0002] Aluminum capacitors, as important electronic components, are widely used in various electronic devices. Their performance depends largely on the quality of their electrolyte intermediates. Traditional electrolyte intermediates for aluminum capacitors have several drawbacks, such as low purity, resulting in high leakage current and a short service life. Therefore, developing a method for preparing a high-purity dialkyl phosphate diethylamine salt electrolyte intermediate for aluminum capacitors is of great significance.

[0003] Aluminum capacitors, as key electronic components, play a vital role in electronic devices. Their applications are extensive, encompassing power filtering, signal coupling, energy storage, and more. With the rapid development of electronic technology, the performance requirements for aluminum capacitors are becoming increasingly stringent, especially for key indicators such as conductivity, stability, and service life, which directly determine the overall performance and reliability of electronic devices. As a core component of aluminum capacitors, the performance of the electrolyte has a decisive impact on their performance.

[0004] Currently, significant progress has been made in the research of aluminum capacitor electrolytes. Common electrolyte types include organic solvent electrolytes and solid-state electrolytes. Organic solvent electrolytes have good electrical conductivity and chemical stability, but they have some limitations. For example, they are easily volatilized at high temperatures, causing changes in the electrolyte concentration, which in turn affects the performance of the capacitor. In addition, organic solvent electrolytes have a high viscosity, which to some extent limits their use in certain specific applications. Solid-state electrolytes have high mechanical strength and good thermal stability, but their electrical conductivity is relatively low, and the preparation process is relatively complex and costly, which to some extent limits their large-scale application.

[0005] In recent years, with the deepening research on new electrolyte materials, dialkyl phosphate diethylamine salts have gradually attracted attention as a new electrolyte material. Dialkyl phosphate diethylamine salts have many excellent properties, such as high conductivity, good chemical stability, and compatibility with electrode materials. These characteristics give them broad application prospects in the field of aluminum capacitor electrolytes.

[0006] In the prior art, the method for preparing dialkyl phosphate diethylamine salt generally adopts a simple chemical reaction, in which dialkyl phosphate is mixed with diethylamine for reaction. However, this method has a long reaction time and an unsatisfactory conversion rate. It requires multiple purification and refining steps, which is not only complicated to operate but also has low production efficiency, making it difficult to achieve large-scale industrial production.
