Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of preparation of blackening solution, in particular to a blackening solution, a preparation method and application thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] Metal mesh conductive film (Metal-Mesh Film) as the core material of transparent conductive film realizes conductive function through extremely fine metal mesh (usually copper) and realizes transparent conduction with the extremely fine metal mesh as the conductive functional layer. The touch sensor made of the metal mesh conductive film has the characteristics of low power consumption, touch sensitivity, long service life, flexibility, waterproofness, explosion-proofness, non-pollution, etc. and is widely used in the field of touch screens. However, the copper mesh line width is only 2-5 μm, which is lower than the recognition threshold of the naked eye, but the strong light reflection characteristics of the copper mesh still form visible light halo in the light environment, which affects the display effect and user experience. Traditional blackening solution often contains phosphorus compounds (such as phosphate), and the emission thereof can cause water eutrophication (such as “red tide”). The phosphorus emission has been strictly limited in Europe, the United States and Japan (such as the requirement of Germany that the phosphorus emission is ≤1 mg / L), and phosphorus-free has become an inevitable trend in the industry. Therefore, it is urgent to develop a phosphorus-free, low-temperature, high-efficiency and copper mesh damage-free blackening solution to balance the low reflectivity (anti-halo) and conductive performance of the copper surface while meeting the environmental protection requirements.

According to GB / T 10125-2021 “Artificial Atmosphere Corrosion Test Salt Spray Test”, 5% NaCl solution was used to continuously spray at 35°C for 24 h, and the number of corrosion points at the edge of the mesh was observed using a microscope, and the corrosion area ratio was calculated. The contact angle of deionized water was measured by the sessile drop method, and 5 points were measured for each sample to take the average value. The sheet resistance was measured according to the four-point probe method, and the sheet resistance change rate before and after blackening was calculated, and the calculation formula was: (R 后 -R 前 ) / R 前 ×100%. The final data is shown in Table 1:
