Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of metal powder processing technology, specifically to a method for producing highly dispersed nano-silver powder for low-temperature sintering silver paste. Background Technology

[0002] Nano silver powder refers to silver powder with silver particles at the nanometer scale. It possesses excellent electrical and thermal conductivity, as well as antibacterial properties, and can be used as a conductive filler in the printed electronics industry to prepare conductive silver paste for screen printing. Currently, the main production methods for nano silver powder are chemical reduction and mechanical spheroidization. Among these, chemical reduction is generally used to produce nano silver powder due to its advantages such as low energy consumption, good dispersibility, and strong controllability. However, in the chemical reduction process, the reaction time has a significant impact on the particle size and morphology of nano silver powder. By optimizing the reaction time, the dispersibility of nano silver powder can be effectively improved, making it suitable for low-temperature sintering silver paste and exhibiting better sintering activity.

[0003] In existing processes, highly dispersed silver nanoparticles are mainly produced using liquid-phase reduction. The reaction time is typically determined experimentally by varying the reaction time to avoid affecting the dispersibility and particle size uniformity of the silver nanoparticles due to excessively long or short reaction times. However, this method of determining the reaction time solely through experimentation does not fully consider the actual reaction variations during the silver ion reduction process. This makes it impossible to accurately adjust the reaction time in the liquid-phase reduction reaction, which can easily affect the dispersibility and particle size uniformity of the silver nanoparticles. Summary of the Invention

[0023] Preferably, before calculating the differential mean of the confidence level of the first stage of the liquid-phase reduction reaction, the confidence level of the first stage of the reaction is first normalized to control the range of the calculated differential mean between (0,1).

This represents the actual remaining time in the later stages of the liquid-phase reduction reaction. The maximum value of the preset adjustable time is C, which is the third mean value in the early stage of the liquid phase reduction reaction. The third mean value is the differential mean value.

In the following description, different "one embodiment" or "another embodiment" do not necessarily refer to the same embodiment. Furthermore, specific features, structures, or characteristics in one or more embodiments can be combined in any suitable form.

[0037] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this application pertains.

[0038] The following description, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, details the specific scheme of the method for producing highly dispersed nano-silver powder for low-temperature sintering silver paste provided in this application.

[0039] One embodiment of this application provides a method for producing highly dispersed nano-silver powder for low-temperature sintering silver paste.

[0040] Specifically, the following method for producing highly dispersed nano-silver powder for low-temperature sintering silver paste is provided; please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 1 The method includes the following steps:

[0041] (1) Add the reducing agent solution and the dispersant solution to the silver nitrate solution, stir to obtain the crystal nucleus solution, place the crystal nucleus solution in a centrifuge, separate the crystal seeds by centrifuging, add the separated crystal seeds to the dispersant solution to obtain the crystal seed dispersant solution.

[0042] In this embodiment, the mass ratio of solutes in the reducing agent solution, dispersant solution, and silver nitrate solution is 0.2:0.1:1, the centrifuge speed is 10000 r / min, and the centrifugation time is 12 min; the reducing agent solution is sodium borohydride, and the dispersant solution is gelatin.

[0043] (2) Add the seed dispersant solution to the silver nitrate solution, then add the reducing agent solution dropwise while stirring at the same time to carry out the liquid phase reduction reaction. After the reaction is completed, the liquid phase reduced solution is obtained.

[0044] In this embodiment, the stirring speed is 250 r / min, the dropping speed is 80 ml / min, the reaction temperature is 40°C, and the preset reaction time is 60 min.

[0045] This application specifically addresses the real-time analysis and adjustment of reaction time in liquid-phase reduction reactions. (See attached document for details.) Figure 2 Specifically:

[0046] Step 1: Collect absorbance data of the reaction solution during the liquid-phase reduction reaction.

[0047] In order to fully explore the actual reaction changes during the reduction reaction of silver ions and thus more accurately adjust the reaction time parameters in the chemical reduction reaction, this application uses a UV-3600Plus spectrophotometer to collect absorbance data of the reaction solution in the liquid-phase reduction reaction. The wavelength scanning range is 200-500nm, the acquisition time interval is 10s, and the acquisition time is the first 30 minutes of the liquid-phase reduction reaction, that is, the early stage of the liquid-phase reduction reaction is the spectral acquisition time. The absorbance data of each acquisition time in the wavelength scanning range are arranged in order of increasing wavelength to obtain the absorbance sequence of each acquisition time in the first 30 minutes of the liquid-phase reduction reaction.

[0048] Step 2: Analyze the singular value difference variation characteristics of each row in the matrix composed of absorbance sequences at each acquisition time and its neighboring acquisition times, as well as the mean slope of the fitted straight line with a value greater than zero in each column, to determine the order variability characteristic value at each acquisition time.

[0049] Because of the free electron movement on the surface of the silver nanoparticles generated during the liquid-phase reduction reaction, characteristic peaks will appear in the absorption spectrum of the reaction solution. Therefore, in order to avoid affecting the dispersibility and particle size uniformity of the silver nanoparticles, it is necessary to analyze the actual reaction characteristics of the silver ion reduction process based on the absorption spectrum of the reaction solution, so as to accurately adjust the reaction time in the liquid-phase reduction reaction and avoid the problem of the reaction time being too long or too short.

[0050] In order to accurately analyze the changes in characteristic peaks of the absorption spectrum during the formation of nano-silver, this application analyzes the mean of the singular absolute differences of all rows in the matrix.

[0051] Specifically, the K acquisition times that are closest to each acquisition time interval are denoted as the K nearest acquisition times for each acquisition time, where K is 10.

[0052] The absorbance sequences of each acquisition time and its K neighboring acquisition times are then sorted in chronological order to obtain the absorption spectrum matrix for each acquisition time, reflecting the continuous changes in the absorption spectrum over a short local time.

[0053] Furthermore, the absorption spectrum matrix at each acquisition time is used as the input of the Singular Value Decomposition (SVD) algorithm to obtain the singular values ​​of all row vectors in the absorption spectrum matrix.

[0054] Furthermore, the singular values ​​of all row vectors in the absorption spectrum matrix are normalized to their maximum values. The sequence of normalized singular values ​​of all row vectors arranged in the order of rows is denoted as the local singularity sequence at each acquisition time. The mean of the absolute values ​​of all first-order differences in the local singularity sequence is denoted as the first mean at each acquisition time. The larger the first mean, the greater the difference in singularity between different row vectors. This more clearly reflects the characteristics of the characteristic peak changes in the absorption spectrum of the reaction solution in a short local time. It indicates that the reduction reaction of the nano-silver particles is more intense at this time. It is necessary to avoid the problem of excessively long reaction time in the liquid phase reduction reaction. The SVD singular value decomposition algorithm is a well-known technique, and the specific process will not be described in detail.

[0055] Meanwhile, since different column vectors in the absorption spectrum matrix represent the changes in absorbance at different wavelengths with reaction time, if the absorbance at some wavelengths changes more significantly with reaction time, it indicates that the absorption peak characteristics generated by the nano-silver particles in the reaction solution are more significant, which can accelerate the liquid-phase reduction reaction. It is necessary to avoid the problem of excessively long reaction time during the liquid-phase reduction reaction.

[0056] Therefore, this application analyzes the mean slope of the fitted straight line in all columns of the matrix that are greater than zero.

[0057] Specifically, each column vector in the absorption spectrum matrix at each acquisition time is used as the input of the linear least squares method. The fitting slope of each column vector in the absorption spectrum matrix at each acquisition time is obtained by the linear least squares method. The mean of all fitting slopes greater than 0 is calculated and recorded as the second mean at each acquisition time. The larger the second mean, the greater the trend of absorbance of some wavelengths with reaction time. It can reflect the more significant absorption peak characteristics generated by the nano silver particles in the reaction solution at this time. It is necessary to avoid the problem of excessively long reaction time in the liquid phase reduction reaction.

[0058] Based on the above analysis, this application determines the order variability feature value at each acquisition time based on the two means obtained above, wherein the order variability feature value is positively correlated with the two means respectively.

[0059] It is understandable that a positive correlation means that the dependent variable increases as the independent variable increases, and the dependent variable decreases as the independent variable decreases. This is determined by the actual application and is not subject to any special restrictions in this application.

[0060] Specifically, the order-variance eigenvalue at the t-th acquisition time is calculated. :

[0061]

[0062] In the formula, Let be the first mean value at the t-th sampling time. It is the second mean at the t-th sampling time.

[0063] Calculation principle: The first mean is calculated by the difference in the change of singular values ​​of the absorption spectrum in a local short time, which can reflect the intensity of the reduction reaction of the formation of silver nanoparticles. The second mean is calculated by the change trend of absorbance at different wavelengths with reaction time, which can reflect the significance of the absorption peak characteristics when the silver nanoparticles are formed. Both can reflect the step change of the reduction reaction process of silver nanoparticles. Therefore, the step change characteristic value is measured based on the prior knowledge of the first mean and the second characteristic value.

[0064] Among them, due to the first mean The calculation result is a value in the range of (0,1). If the first mean is directly used... Compared with the second mean Multiplying these values ​​would reduce the accuracy of measuring the eigenvalues ​​of order-variable characteristics, so 1 is multiplied by the first mean in the formula. The sum is used as a product factor to avoid the product factor being less than 1, which would affect the accuracy of measuring the order-variable eigenvalues.

[0065] The step transformation characteristic value reflects the step transformation characteristics during the generation of silver nanoparticles in the reaction solution. The larger the step transformation characteristic value, the faster the step transformation of the generation reaction process of silver nanoparticles in the reaction solution, and the more it can improve the generation rate of silver nanoparticles. It is necessary to avoid the problem of excessively long reaction time during the liquid phase reduction reaction.

[0066] Step 3: Correct the order variability eigenvalues ​​by using the correlation between the absorbance sequence at each acquisition time and the slope of the fitted straight line of all columns, and determine the order variability confidence level at each acquisition time.

[0067] Because the absorption spectrum of the reaction solution in the liquid-phase reduction reaction is easily affected by noise from the external environment or the operation process, the reliability of the step transformation changes during the generation of silver nanoparticles is low, which affects the accuracy of subsequent control and adjustment of the reaction time parameters in the liquid-phase reduction reaction.

[0068] Therefore, the fitting slopes of all column vectors in the absorption spectrum matrix at each acquisition time are sorted by column, and the sorted sequence is recorded as the rate of change characteristic sequence at each acquisition time, reflecting the change in absorbance trend of all wavelengths in a local short time.

[0069] Generally, the lower the positive correlation between the absorbance sequence and the rate of change characteristic sequence at a certain acquisition time, the greater the difference between the change of absorbance with wavelength in the reaction solution at that acquisition time and the change of absorbance trend with wavelength in a short local time. In this case, the greater the influence of external noise interference on the step transformation change during the generation of silver nanoparticles, the lower the reliability of the step transformation change during the generation of silver nanoparticles.

[0070] Therefore, based on the above analysis, this application uses the correlation between the absorbance sequence at each acquisition time and the sequence formed by the slope of the fitted straight line of all columns to correct the order variability characteristic value and determine the order variability confidence level.

[0071] Specifically, calculate the order variability confidence level at the t-th acquisition time. :

[0072]

[0073] In the formula, The correlation between the absorbance sequence and the rate of change feature sequence at the t-th acquisition time can be measured using either the Pearson correlation coefficient or covariance. In this embodiment, the Pearson correlation coefficient is used. for The normalization function maps the correlation to the range (0,1).

[0074] Calculation principle: The degree of correlation between absorbance sequence and rate of change characteristic sequence This demonstrates the positive correlation between characteristic peaks in the absorption spectrum and characteristic peaks formed locally over a short period of time. The stronger the positive correlation, the greater the correlation between the two peaks. The larger the value, the smaller the interference of false characteristic peaks in the absorption spectrum, and the more reliable the step transformation change during the generation of silver nanoparticles is. Therefore, the correlation between the absorbance sequence and the rate of change characteristic sequence is used to measure the confidence level of step transformation.

[0075] Among them, the order-variable eigenvalues This reflects the step-change characteristics during the formation of silver nanoparticles in the reaction solution. The formula uses the correlation between the absorbance sequence and the rate of change characteristic sequence. Eigenvalues ​​of order-variable Make corrections, pass After correction, to Control to (0, Within the range of ), thus more accurately measuring the confidence level of order variability.

[0076] The confidence level of step transformation reflects the credibility of the step transformation changes during the generation of silver nanoparticles. The higher the confidence level of step transformation, the more significant the step transformation changes during the generation of silver nanoparticles, and the faster the reaction process of generating silver nanoparticles. It is necessary to avoid the problem of excessively long reaction time during the liquid-phase reduction reaction.

[0077] Step 4: Use the difference mean of the confidence levels of the step change in the early stage of the liquid-phase reduction reaction to calculate the remaining settling time in the later stage of the liquid-phase reduction reaction.

[0078] Furthermore, this application utilizes the differential mean of the confidence levels of the step change in the early stage of the liquid-phase reduction reaction to calculate the remaining conditioning time in the later stage of the liquid-phase reduction reaction.

[0079] Specifically, the confidence scores of the order of change at all sampling times within the first 30 minutes of the liquid-phase reduction reaction are arranged in chronological order, and the maximum value of all elements in the arranged sequence is normalized. The sequence after the maximum value normalization is recorded as the order of change sequence in the early stage of the liquid-phase reduction reaction, which reflects the actual reaction change characteristics in the early stage of the liquid-phase reduction reaction. This is beneficial for accurately controlling and adjusting the reaction time parameters in the subsequent chemical reduction reaction.

[0080] Furthermore, the mean of all first-order differences in the sequence of phase changes during the early stage of the liquid-phase reduction reaction is calculated and denoted as the third mean during the early stage of the liquid-phase reduction reaction. The calculated value of the third mean is controlled within the range of (0,1).

[0081] If the third mean is positive and the larger the value, the faster the actual reaction process of the nano-silver powder in the early stage of the liquid-phase reduction reaction. Therefore, in order to avoid the problem of excessively long reaction time, the remaining reaction time should be shortened in the later stage of the liquid-phase reduction reaction. Conversely, if the third mean is negative and the smaller the value, the slower the actual reaction process of the nano-silver powder in the early stage of the liquid-phase reduction reaction. Therefore, in order to avoid the problem of excessively short reaction time, the remaining reaction time should be extended in the later stage of the liquid-phase reduction reaction.

[0082] Therefore, the remaining settling time in the later stage of the liquid-phase reduction reaction needs to be calculated. :

[0083]

[0084] In the formula, This represents the actual remaining time in the later stages of the liquid-phase reduction reaction. The maximum value of the preset adjustable time is 14-15 min, and the value in this embodiment is 15 min. C is the third mean value in the early stage of the liquid phase reduction reaction, and the third mean value is the difference mean value.

[0085] Therefore, by analyzing the actual reaction characteristics in the early stage of the liquid-phase reduction reaction, the actual remaining time in the later stage of the liquid-phase reduction reaction can be adjusted to avoid the problem of the reaction time being too long or too short, thereby improving the dispersibility and particle size uniformity of the subsequently prepared silver nanoparticles. Therefore, the remaining adjustment time... As the remaining reaction time in the later stage of the liquid-phase reduction reaction, the liquid-phase reduced solution is obtained after the reaction is completed.

[0086] (3) After the reaction is completed, the liquid phase reduction solution is flocculated and precipitated, and the supernatant is removed. Then, the solution is washed with deionized water, cooled and dried, and polished to prepare nano silver powder.

[0087] By adjusting the reaction time of the liquid-phase reduction reaction to avoid problems such as excessively long or short reaction times, a liquid-phase reduced solution is obtained after the reaction. The following process steps are then used to complete the production of highly dispersed nano-silver powder:

[0088] Flocculant was added to the liquid-phase reduction solution after the reaction was completed, and the mixture was stirred for 10 minutes. After sufficient flocculation and precipitation, the supernatant was removed. Then, the mixture was successively washed with deionized water, cooled and dried, and polished to prepare nano-silver powder. Nano-silver powder has the characteristics of high dispersion and can be sintered at low temperature of 180℃, and the sintered layer is dense. Therefore, it can be used in the field of low-temperature sintered silver paste, such as solar photovoltaic cathode silver paste and nano-sintered silver paste.

[0089] The flocculant is a mixture of one amine and one acid from the following: octylamine, dodecylamine, hexadecylamine, stearic acid, ricinoleic acid, and lac acid.

[0090] Thus, the invention of a method for producing highly dispersed nano-silver powder for low-temperature sintering silver paste was completed.
