TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The application belongs to the field of conductive paste, and particularly relates to a preparation method of a carbon black composite material for conductive paste. BACKGROUND
[0002] Conductive paste is a key material in the field of electronic information and is widely used in the fields of printed electronics, flexible electronics, semiconductor packaging, new energy photovoltaic cells and the like. However, traditional conductive paste (such as silver paste) needs high-temperature sintering to achieve good conductivity, which not only increases energy consumption but also limits its application on some high-temperature-resistant substrates. In addition, the conductivity and stability of traditional conductive paste need to be further improved. SUMMARY
[0003] Therefore, the purpose of the present application is to provide a preparation method of a carbon black composite material for conductive paste. The carbon black composite material prepared by the method has good conductivity and stability, and the conductive paste made of the carbon black composite material can achieve good conductive effect at room temperature.
[0004] The present application provides a preparation method of a carbon black composite material for conductive paste, comprising the following steps:
[0005] The metal is deposited on the surface of the carbon black to be coated by gas phase deposition to obtain a carbon black composite material with a metal coating layer.
[0006] Preferably, the specific surface area of the carbon black to be coated is 100-1200 m 2 / g, and the average particle size is 10-100 nm.
[0007] Preferably, the carbon black to be coated is pretreated before gas phase deposition; the pretreatment method includes heating activation and / or ultrasonic cleaning.
[0008] Preferably, the pressure of the gas phase deposition is 0.001-1 Torr.
[0009] Preferably, the deposition rate of the gas phase deposition is 0.1-1 nm / min.
[0010] Preferably, the method of the gas phase deposition is physical vapor deposition or chemical vapor deposition.
[0011] Preferably, the method of the chemical vapor deposition is plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition.
[0012] Preferably, the metal coating layer is a nickel layer, a copper layer or a silver layer.
[0013] Preferably, the mass fraction of the metal coating layer in the carbon black composite material is 10-30%.
[0014] Preferably, the method further comprises the steps of washing and drying the obtained carbon black composite material.
[0015] Compared with the prior art, the present application provides a preparation method of a carbon black composite material for conductive paste, comprising the following steps: depositing a metal on the surface of the carbon black to be coated by using a gas phase deposition method, to obtain a carbon black composite material with a metal coating layer. The carbon black composite material prepared by the method of the present application has good conductivity and stability. The conductive paste made of the carbon black composite material can achieve good conductivity at room temperature. More specifically, the technical solution of the present application has at least the following advantages:
[0016] (1) Carbon black itself has high specific surface area and good conductivity, and when added to the paste, it can form a conductive network to improve the electrical conductivity. After the surface of the carbon black is coated with a metal layer, the high conductivity of the metal combines with the conductive network of the carbon black, further improving the overall conductivity of the conductive paste, so that it can achieve good conductivity at room temperature.
[0017] (2) Carbon black is chemically stable and is not prone to chemical reactions with other substances. It will not be affected by environmental changes and can maintain stable performance of the conductive paste for a long time. On this basis, the coating of the metal layer can reduce the performance fluctuations of the carbon black under the influence of environmental factors such as humidity and temperature changes, further improving the stability of the conductive paste and ensuring its stable conductivity under different conditions.
[0018] (3) Carbon black is more cost-effective than traditional conductive materials such as precious metals. Replacing part of the precious metal powder with carbon black can effectively reduce costs. The gas phase deposition method is relatively simple, which can reduce complex preparation steps and further reduce production costs, improve the performance-price ratio of the conductive paste, and make it competitive in more application fields.
[0019] (4) By controlling the process parameters of the gas phase deposition method, such as temperature, pressure, gas flow, etc., the thickness and uniformity of the metal layer can be accurately controlled, so as to optimize the performance of the conductive paste and meet the needs of different application scenarios. The process stability of the gas phase deposition method is high, and it is easy to realize large-scale production, ensuring the consistency of product quality.
[0020] (5) The composite structure of carbon black and metal can enhance the flexibility and adhesion of the conductive paste. The coating of the metal layer not only improves the connection strength between carbon black particles, but also makes the conductive paste form a more stable adhesion on the surface of the substrate, so that the conductive paste performs well in application scenarios that require certain mechanical strength and flexibility, such as flexible circuits and wearable devices, and is not easily affected by mechanical deformation.

[0113] Disperse carbon black in anhydrous ethanol (10 g / L), ultrasonic treatment (power 200 W, frequency 40 kHz) for 1 hour, vacuum filtration, collect the filter cake, and dry in a vacuum drying box (150°C, 10 -3 Torr) for 12 hours.
[0114] (2) Target installation and chamber cleaning:
[0115] Install the copper target, adjust the target-substrate distance to 10 cm; vacuum the chamber to 5x10 -7 Torr, introduce Ar (100 sccm), and pre-sputter the target surface for 5 minutes at a power of 300 W to clean the target surface.
[0116] (3) Copper deposition process:
[0117] ① Sample loading and pretreatment:
[0118] Uniformly lay 0.2 g of pretreated carbon black on the copper foil substrate and place it in the sample stage; vacuum to 1x10 -6 Torr, and clean with Ar plasma (power 50 W, pressure 5 mTorr, 5 minutes).
[0119] ② Sputter deposition:
[0120] Adjust the Ar flow to 20 sccm and the working pressure to 3 mTorr; turn on the RF power supply (power 100 W) and rotate the sample stage at 5 rpm; deposit for 30 minutes at a deposition rate of about 0.5 nm / min.
[0121] ③ Post-treatment:
[0122] The power was turned off, the Ar purge was maintained, and the sample was allowed to cool to room temperature. The sample was removed, dispersed in absolute ethanol by sonication, centrifuged, and dried under vacuum at 60 °C.

[0128] Gas sources:
[0129] Argon (Ar, purity 99.999%) as carrier and plasma working gas;
[0130] Hydrogen (H2, purity 99.999%) as reducing agent;

[0135] Bubble (for precursor vaporization).
[0136] 2. Detailed procedure:
[0137] (1) Carbon black pretreatment:
[0138] The carbon black was dispersed in deionized water (5 g / L) with 0.1 wt% sodium dodecylbenzenesulfonate (SDBS) as dispersant, sonicated (power 300 W, frequency 28 kHz) for 1 h, centrifuged, and dried under vacuum at 60 °C for 24 h.
[0139] (2) Deposition system preparation:
[0140] The Ag(hfac) was placed in the bubbler and heated to 120 °C (vapor pressure ~ 5 Torr); 0.3 g of pretreated carbon black was loaded onto the sample stage, and the chamber was evacuated to 10 -3 Torr.
[0141] (3) Silver deposition process:
[0142] ① Plasma pretreatment:
[0143] Introduce Ar (80 sccm) and H2 (20 sccm) with total pressure of 100 mTorr; turn on RF power (power 50 W) to generate plasma for 5 minutes.
[0144] ② Silver deposition:
[0145] Adjust the flow rate of Ar carrier gas to 30 sccm, keep the flow rate of H2 unchanged, and the bubbler pressure at 500 mTorr; keep the total pressure at 100 mTorr, RF power at 50 W, and the temperature at 150℃; deposit for 45 minutes, and the reaction mechanism is Ag (hfac) + H2→ Ag↓+ hfacH (plasma assisted reduction).
[0146] ③ Post-treatment:
[0147] Turn off the precursor heating and RF power, continue to introduce Ar (100 sccm) to cool to room temperature; collect the sample, wash with anhydrous ethanol for 3 times, and vacuum dry at 80℃ for 6 hours.
