Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application relates to the technical field of titanium anodes, and particularly relates to a method for evaluating the influence of an organic additive on the service life of a titanium anode. BACKGROUND

[0002] One of the important ways to control performance in the preparation process of electrolytic copper foil is to introduce an additive. By introducing the additive into the electrolyte, the reaction potential of copper deposition can be changed, and the microstructure and morphology of the plating layer are affected. In addition, the synergistic effect of different additives is one of the core elements affecting the service life of the anode. The copper plating additives are all organic additives, which can be basically divided into three types according to the function, including a brightener, a leveling agent and an inhibitor. The brightener is usually a small-molecule sulfur-containing organic substance, represented by polydithiopropyl sulfide (SPS); the leveling agent is usually a nitrogen-containing cationic surfactant, generally a quaternary ammonium salt or a heterocyclic surfactant; and the inhibitor is usually a polyether substance, and the most common one is polyethylene glycol (PEG). Among the three substances, the monomer molecular weight of the brightener is the smallest, and the brightener is also more easily decomposed by the titanium anode, so the brightener is the most researched in the market, and reducing the decomposition of the brightener is a long-term task.

[0003] The influence of the additive on the service life of the anode is throughout the whole electrolytic system, and the core action is to delay or accelerate the anode failure by controlling the electrode structure stability, interface reaction kinetics and degree of side reaction. In the production of electrolytic copper foil, the leveling agent, the brightener and the inhibitor are used as electrolyte additives, and the service life of the anode is indirectly affected by controlling the cathode copper deposition behavior. The oxidation and decomposition behavior of the additive on the anode surface may cause coating corrosion, passivation or impedance rise, and then shorten the service life of the anode. The brightener is the main threat to the service life of the anode due to the sulfur and alkyne alcohol easy to oxidize groups, and the decomposition products of the brightener accelerate the coating failure through acidification, corrosion, adsorption of the insulating layer and other mechanisms; the organic film formed by the adsorption of the brightener may cover the active sites of the anode, so that the oxygen evolution potential is increased, the lattice oxygen loss of the noble metal in the coating is accelerated, and the service life is consumed.

[0004] Based on the above factors, different brands of brighteners are selected, and the concentration gradient is controlled to further explore the specific influence of SPS on the service life of the anode, and a new accelerated service life evaluation system is developed, that is, a method for evaluating the influence of an organic additive SPS on the service life of a titanium anode.

[0005] And in the existing accelerated life test, the micro-cracks generated in the preparation process of iridium series coating titanium anode, usually with a density of about 5 strips / mm2, is a common technical problem. Under high current density test conditions, organic additives (especially SPS) in the electrolyte and their decomposition products easily penetrate into these micro-cracks, triggering local hidden corrosion of the coating, resulting in irregular fluctuations in the tank voltage and current density signals during the test, for example, voltage fluctuations can reach ±0.05V. This noise in the baseline signal can mask the onset of real coating failure, leading to inaccurate determination of the time of appearance of anode passivation criteria, such as voltage rising to 1.5 times the initial value, thereby reducing the sensitivity and reliability of the entire evaluation system in distinguishing different brands or concentrations of additives. SUMMARY

[0006] The purpose of the present application is to develop an evaluation method for the influence of organic additive SPS on the life of titanium anode, which combines pre-processed iridium series coating titanium anode, titanium-based cathode and electrolyte with different additives according to the design to explore the influence of brightener SPS on the life of anode by constant current test method.

[0007] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the present application provides the following technical scheme: an evaluation method for the influence of organic additive on the life of titanium anode, comprising the following steps: S1: preparing an iridium series coating titanium anode sample according to the sample preparation process, which includes cutting, sandblasting, annealing, pickling, soaking, coating, high-temperature sintering and cooling; S2: shearing the sample obtained in S1, and then polishing to obtain a surface coating with a fixed area; S3: analyzing the sample obtained in S2 before accelerated life test, including SEM, XRD and electrochemical test, etc.; S4: taking titanium substrate as cathode, polishing it before test to remove surface impurities and oxide layer; S5: preparing a 20% sulfuric acid solution as the base solution of electrolyte, and selecting four different brands of SPS to add corresponding amount of additives in the base solution according to different concentration gradients to configure the electrolyte; S6: placing the cathode and anode treated in steps S3 and S4 in a 1000ml customized container containing electrolyte with different additives, and using a polytetrafluoroethylene fixing nut to ensure that the two electrodes are spaced about 10mm apart; S7: using constant current test method, accelerated life test of anode is carried out by setting high current density, electrolysis is carried out at room temperature, changes of tank voltage with time are recorded, consumption of solution in the container is monitored, and replenishment is added and checked every day; S8: Observe the voltage change, when the titanium anode passivation occurs, the cell voltage rises sharply, which is considered as anode failure, the cell voltage rises to about 1.5 times the initial voltage, according to the total power-on time at this time to calculate the anode strengthening life; S9: After the sample after the life test is washed with deionized water and dried, it is subjected to accelerated life test and analysis, including SEM, XRD and electrochemical test, failure analysis is carried out according to the results, and finally the results are output.

[0008] Preferably, the titanium substrate selected in the above step S4 is a titanium plate, a titanium mesh or a titanium rod, and the specific specification is TA1 or TA2.

[0009] Preferably, the SPS brand selected in the above step S5 is A, B, C or D, and the concentration gradient range is 1-7 mg / L.

[0010] Preferably, in the above step S7, the reason for choosing constant current test method is as follows: The attenuation and failure of anode life are directly related to the electrochemical reaction rate of anode material in essence, and the key driving factor of reaction rate is current density, not voltage. The core reason for choosing constant current test method is that it can accurately simulate the actual working scene of anode, efficiently accelerate the failure process, shorten the test period, and ensure the stability of test results, repeatability and correlation; Most importantly, it is convenient for failure mechanism analysis, and the failure mechanism can be analyzed reversely through voltage monitoring, which has the dual values of "life evaluation" and "failure diagnosis".

[0011] Preferably, in the above step S7, the direct current source is selected as 10A / 36V, and the current density is set as 5A / cm 2 .

[0012] Preferably, in the above step S7, the current density is set as 5A / cm 2 The reason is as follows: In the copper plating industry, the actual working current density of anode is usually low (the conventional acid copper plating anode current density is about 0.5-2A / cm²). 5A / cm² belongs to "moderate overworking condition" current density: it can compress the experimental period to several days or weeks by increasing the current intensity to accelerate the electrochemical reaction rate (such as anode dissolution, side reaction generation) on the surface of anode; It will not cause "over acceleration" due to too high current density, avoid abnormal failure of anode (such as instantaneous ablation, structure disintegration) which is irrelevant to actual working condition, and ensure that the experimental results can reflect the true life law.

[0013] Preferably, the replenishing solution in step S7 is an aqueous solution containing the same concentration of additives, and the same volume of replenishing solution is added at a fixed time every day. For the same batch of samples, two anodes are taken from each group for repeated accelerated life test to reduce experimental error.

[0014] Preferably, the sample preparation process in step S1 specifically includes the following steps: Trimming: the size is limited to 15x20 cm, and the aspect ratio is 1.33:1 to reduce the uneven current distribution caused by edge effects, ensure uniform current density during testing, and avoid local premature failure interference with life determination; Sand blasting: 0.3-0.5mm diamond sand is used, and the surface roughness Ra is ≥4.5μm to increase the adhesion of the coating and delay the peeling of the coating during high-voltage testing of the anode plate; Annealing: using segmented temperature control to reduce the risk of hydrogen embrittlement and thermal stress cracking during high-current testing: 400℃ for 1h to remove hydrogen→600℃ for 2h to eliminate stress→furnace cooling; Pickling: using a mixture of oxalic acid and hydrogen peroxide solution with a concentration of 10%+3%. Compared with conventional single oxalic acid, the use of this mixture can generate a more uniform microporous structure and improve the adhesion of the coating; Soaking: 95℃ for 30min; Coating: using a coating solution to coat the anode mark, and using a customized roller brush to coat the coating solution to form a fixed topography on the anode surface, inhibit crack propagation under high current, and prolong the time to passivation.

[0015] In the present application, to solve the signal noise problem in the background art, the composition of the coating solution in the coating step is optimized. The coating solution contains a complex combination of nano cerium oxide and nano zirconium oxide. The core mechanism is the synergistic filling and structural enhancement effect of the two different particle sizes and properties of nanoparticles: (1) Synergistic filling effect: nano zirconium oxide particles with a particle size of 20-30nm are smaller than the interstitial pores between conventional nano cerium oxide particles and the initial defects of microcracks. During coating and sintering, these smaller zirconium oxide particles can effectively fill the gaps between the cerium oxide particle accumulation and the microcracks on the coating surface, forming a more dense "cerium-zirconium composite coating" structure. After this optimization, the crack density of the coating can be significantly reduced from ≤5 / mm² to ≤3 / mm².

[0016] (2) Interfacial physical barrier effect: this dense coating structure can physically block the SPS molecules and the acidic products (such as SO4 2- , H +) penetration to the inside of the coating. This fundamentally avoids the slight fluctuations in voltage and current signals caused by SPS-induced localized corrosion at the deep cracks, ensuring the stability of the signal baseline throughout the entire accelerated life test process. The voltage fluctuation can be reduced from ±0.05V to within ±0.02V, and the current density deviation can be reduced from ±0.2A / cm² to ±0.08A / cm².

[0017] (3) Failure signal sharpening effect: due to the more uniform overall structure of the coating, when the oxidative decomposition of SPS leads to the deactivation of the active components of the coating, the passivation process of the anode is more synchronized, rather than starting from the cracks and expanding locally. Therefore, when passivation occurs, the resistance of the entire anode surface will show a sharp, uniform jump, which is manifested as a more rapid and steep rise in the cell voltage. The failure response time can be shortened from about 30 minutes to about 10 minutes. This significantly improves the accuracy of anode life endpoint interpretation and the resolution sensitivity of different SPS brands / concentrations.

[0018] High-temperature sintering: inert atmosphere protection sintering, 550℃×10min→480℃×30min, through the protection of inert gas to reduce the oxidation loss of noble metal, to ensure the consistency of the coating conductivity.

[0019] Preferably, in the above sample preparation process, the sandblasting angle is limited to 90°±5°, further improving the uniformity of the surface roughness of the anode plate sample; The crack density of the coating after sintering is limited to ≤5 lines / mm², meeting the SEM detection standard.

[0020] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present application are: 1. The present application aims to explore the effects of different additives on anode life, find a best anode life evaluation system, reduce the influence of electrolyte factors on accelerated life, and improve the accuracy and stability of life test results.

[0021] 2. Brightener is the most important in the entire additive system, so in the study of single additive, the brightener (SPS) is chosen as the research object. The minimum SPS concentration and SPS brand that affect the anode life are studied, and a complete accelerated life additive test system is established in the laboratory.

[0022] 3. By specific optimization of the composition of the coating liquid, a nano cerium oxide-zirconium oxide compound system is introduced, and the compactness of the iridium series coating is significantly improved in physical structure by using the synergistic filling effect. This optimization directly addresses and solves the signal baseline noise problem in accelerated life test, which is specifically manifested as: the voltage signal baseline fluctuation is reduced, the current density stability is improved, and the voltage mutation response speed of anode failure is accelerated. These improvements greatly improve the signal-to-noise ratio of the life test data, and the distinguishing ability of different SPS brands (such as C brand with greater impact on life and B brand and D brand with less impact) is more significant and reliable, greatly improving the accuracy, repeatability and reliability of the evaluation method.
