[0006] The present inventors have investigated the cause of the poor durability of conventional laminates having a porous layer.

[0008] According to the present invention, it is possible to provide a laminate film that includes a substrate and a porous layer and has excellent durability.

[0009] [Terminology] In this specification, when the expression "weight" appears, it may be read as "mass," which is commonly used as an SI unit indicating weight, and vice versa.

[0010] 1. Laminated Film A laminated film according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a substrate and a porous layer, and the substrate and the porous layer are laminated via an adhesive layer. That is, the laminated film according to an embodiment of the present invention typically includes a laminate structure in which the substrate, the adhesive layer, and the porous layer are laminated in this order.

[0011] The laminated film according to an embodiment of the present invention may include any other appropriate layer as long as it includes a laminated structure in which a substrate, an adhesive layer, and a porous layer are laminated in this order, as long as the effects of the present invention are not impaired.

[0012] In one embodiment of the laminate film of the present invention, a porous layer is provided on only one side of a substrate. A typical example of the laminate film of the present invention according to such an embodiment is a laminate film in which a substrate, an adhesive layer, and a porous layer are laminated in this order.

[0013] Another embodiment of the laminate film of the present invention has a porous layer on both sides of the substrate. Typical examples of the laminate film of the present invention according to this embodiment include a laminate film in which a porous layer, an adhesive layer, a substrate, an adhesive layer, and a porous layer are laminated in this order, and a laminate film in which a porous layer, a substrate, an adhesive layer, and a porous layer are laminated in this order.

[0014] The total thickness of the laminate film of the present invention may be any appropriate thickness depending on the purpose, as long as the effects of the present invention are not impaired. The total thickness of the laminate film of the present invention may be, for example, 1 μm to 2000 μm, 50 μm to 1400 μm, 100 μm to 1000 μm, 130 μm to 600 μm, 150 μm to 500 μm, 150 μm to 300 μm, or 150 μm to 250 μm.

[0015] <1-1. Substrate> Any appropriate substrate can be used as the substrate as long as it does not impair the effects of the present invention. The substrate may be composed of a single layer or may be a laminate of two or more layers.

[0016] The thickness of the substrate may be any appropriate thickness depending on the purpose as long as the effects of the present invention are not impaired. The thickness of the substrate is, for example, 1 μm to 1000 μm, or may be 50 μm to 700 μm, 100 μm to 500 μm, 130 μm to 300 μm, or 150 μm to 250 μm.

[0017] The substrate may be any appropriate material depending on the purpose, as long as the effect of the present invention is not impaired.

[0018] Examples of the substrate include resin substrates (e.g., polyethylene terephthalate (PET) substrates and polyimide (PI) substrates), composite substrates containing resin (e.g., Zirfon (registered trademark) manufactured by AGFA), metal substrates (e.g., Cu foil, Ti foil, Ti fibrous body (e.g., Pt-plated Ti fibrous body), Ni porous body), carbon composite materials (e.g., carbon paper, carbon paper on which MPL (Micro Porous Layer) is formed), cation exchange membranes (e.g., Nafion (registered trademark) and hydrocarbon-based electrolyte membranes), anion exchange membranes (e.g., polybenzimidazole (PBI) membranes), semiconductor substrates (e.g., silicon substrates), and glass substrates.

[0019] One embodiment of the substrate is an electrolyte membrane. Examples of electrolyte membranes include composite substrates containing resin (e.g., Zirfon (registered trademark) manufactured by AGFA), cation exchange membranes (e.g., Nafion (registered trademark) and hydrocarbon-based electrolyte membranes), and anion exchange membranes (e.g., polybenzimidazole (PBI) membranes). When the substrate is an electrolyte membrane, the laminate film according to an embodiment of the present invention may be a catalyst composite for water electrolysis (a laminate composite including a porous layer as a catalyst layer and an electrolyte membrane) or a catalyst composite for fuel cells (a laminate composite including a porous layer as a catalyst layer and an electrolyte membrane), and may be a catalyst composite for water electrolysis or a catalyst composite for fuel cells that has excellent durability. When the substrate is an electrolyte membrane, the laminate film according to an embodiment of the present invention may be a catalyst composite for CO electrolysis (e.g., for electrolytic synthesis of formic acid or synthetic fuels) (a laminate composite including a porous layer as a catalyst layer and an electrolyte membrane), and may be a catalyst composite for CO electrolysis that has excellent durability.

[0020] As one embodiment of the substrate, the surface on the porous layer side of the substrate may contain a resin. As the substrate of such an embodiment, any suitable substrate can be adopted as long as it contains a resin component on at least one surface, as long as the effects of the present invention are not impaired. In addition to the above-mentioned resin substrate, the substrate of such an embodiment includes, for example, the above-mentioned composite substrate containing a resin component on at least one surface, a MPL (Micro Porous Layer) composed of a resin formed on carbon paper, a cation exchange membrane containing a resin component on at least one surface, an anion exchange membrane containing a resin component on at least one surface, and a laminated substrate having a resin layer on at least one surface of a non-resin layer (such as a metal layer).

[0021] <1-2. Porous Layer> The thickness of the porous layer may be any appropriate thickness depending on the purpose, as long as the effects of the present invention are not impaired. The thickness of the porous layer is, for example, 1 nm to 3000 nm, or may be 10 nm to 2000 nm, 50 nm to 1500 nm, 100 nm to 1000 nm, or 200 nm to 800 nm.

[0022] The porous layer may be composed of one layer or may be a laminate of two or more layers.

[0023] The porous layer has a porous structure, which increases the surface area of ​​the porous layer and can provide various effects, such as increased gas diffusivity and high catalytic activity.

[0024] The porous layer contains at least one selected from the group consisting of a metal element, a metalloid element, and carbon. The porous layer may contain any other appropriate component as long as the effects of the present invention are not impaired.

[0025] Any appropriate metal element may be used as the metal element contained in the porous layer as long as the effects of the present invention are not impaired. The metal element may be one type only, or two or more types. When the porous layer contains two or more types of metal elements, the two or more types of metals may be an alloy.

[0026] The metal element typically includes at least one selected from the group consisting of a noble metal element and a base metal element. The noble metal element may be only one type, or two or more types. The base metal element may be only one type, or two or more types.

[0027] Any appropriate noble metal element may be used as long as it does not impair the effects of the present invention, such as at least one selected from the group consisting of Ru, Rh, Pd, Os, Ir, Pt, and Au.

[0028] Any appropriate base metal element may be used as the base metal element as long as it does not impair the effects of the present invention. Examples of the base metal element include metal elements other than noble metal elements, and preferably at least one selected from the group consisting of Mg, P, Sc, Ti, V, Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, Y, Zr, Nb, Mo, Ce, Pr, Ta, W, and Bi.

[0029] As the metalloid element, any appropriate metalloid element can be used as long as it does not impair the effects of the present invention. Examples of the metalloid element include B, Si, Ge, As, Sb, and Te, and preferably at least one element selected from the group consisting of B, Si, Ge, and Sb.

[0030] The metal elements that can be contained in the porous layer include the eluted elements (for example, at least one selected from the group consisting of Al, Zn, Ag, and Sn) described below. However, as described below, when a porous layer having a porous structure is formed by treating a precursor layer containing an alloy of a eluted element that dissolves in a dealloying solution and at least one selected from the group consisting of a metal element other than the eluted element, a metalloid element, and carbon with a dealloying solution, the eluted elements contained in the precursor layer are eluted in the dealloying solution, so the content of the eluted elements in the formed porous layer is reduced. In this case, the content of the total of the eluted elements (preferably the total of Al, Zn, Ag, and Sn) in the porous layer may be, for example, less than 30 atomic weight%, may be less than 25 atomic weight%, may be less than 20 atomic weight%, may be less than 16 atomic weight%, may be 15 atomic weight% or less, may be 12 atomic weight% or less, may be 10 atomic weight% or less, may be 8 atomic weight% or less, may be 6 atomic weight% or less, may be 4 atomic weight% or less, may be 2 atomic weight% or less, may be 1 atomic weight% or less, may be 0.1 atomic weight% or less, or may be substantially 0 atomic weight%.

[0031] The porous layer can be formed by any appropriate method as long as it does not impair the effects of the present invention. To further enhance the effects of the present invention, the porous layer can be formed, for example, by a dealloying method. Specifically, the porous layer can be formed by treating a precursor layer containing an alloy of a leachable element that dissolves in a dealloying solution and at least one element selected from the group consisting of a metal element, a metalloid element, and carbon other than the leachable element, with a dealloying solution. By the dealloying method, the leachable element contained in the precursor layer is dissolved into the dealloying solution, forming the porous layer.

[0032] [1-2-a. Precursor Layer] The precursor layer typically contains an alloy of a leachable element and at least one selected from the group consisting of a metal element other than the leachable element, a metalloid element, and carbon. Note that the term "alloy" as used herein also includes alloy steel (an alloy of a leachable element and a metalloid element, an alloy of a leachable element and carbon, or an alloy of a leachable element, a metalloid element, and carbon). The leachable element may be of only one type, or two or more types. The metal element other than the leachable element may be of only one type, or two or more types. The metalloid element may be of only one type, or two or more types.

[0033] When the precursor layer contains an alloy of a leachable element and at least one selected from the group consisting of a metal element other than the leachable element, a metalloid element, and carbon, the content ratio of the leachable element to the at least one selected from the group consisting of a metal element other than the leachable element, a metalloid element, and carbon in the precursor layer, expressed as atomic weight percent (at %) of [leachable element]:[total of metal elements other than the leachable element, metalloid element, and carbon], may be, for example, 30:70 to 99.9:0.1, alternatively, 50:50 to 99:1, 60:40 to 98:2, 70:30 to 97:3, 75:25 to 96:4, or 80:20 to 95:5, in terms of atomic weight percent (at %).

[0034] Examples of the eluting element include elements that dissolve in a dealloying solution during alloy dealloying. In order to further enhance the effects of the present invention, the eluting element is preferably at least one element selected from the group consisting of Al, Zn, Ag, and Sn. Therefore, the precursor layer preferably contains an alloy of at least one eluting element selected from the group consisting of Al, Zn, Ag, and Sn and at least one element selected from the group consisting of a metal element, a metalloid element, and carbon other than the eluting element.

[0035] Examples of metal elements other than the eluted elements include at least one selected from the group consisting of Mg, P, Sc, Ti, V, Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, Y, Zr, Nb, Mo, Ru, Rh, Pd, Ce, Pr, Ta, W, Os, Ir, Pt, Au, and Bi.

[0036] The precursor layer can be formed by any appropriate method as long as the effects of the present invention are not impaired. For example, the precursor layer is formed by a vacuum film formation method, specifically, by vapor deposition or sputtering.

[0037] Examples of the formation by sputtering include co-sputtering using a plurality of targets (sometimes referred to as simultaneous sputtering) and sputtering using an alloy target.

[0038] Any appropriate sputtering conditions may be adopted as long as they do not impair the effects of the present invention. The atmosphere during sputtering may be, for example, a rare gas atmosphere such as argon. The pressure during sputtering may be, for example, 0.1 Pa to 10 Pa. Examples of the discharge method for sputtering include DC discharge, RF discharge, and MF-AC discharge. The sputtering temperature may be set to any appropriate temperature depending on the type of substrate, etc. The sputtering temperature may be, for example, -10°C to 150°C (e.g., sputtering onto a PET substrate), -10°C to 500°C (e.g., sputtering onto a PI substrate), or -10°C to 1000°C (e.g., sputtering onto a metal substrate).

[0039] In an embodiment in which the precursor layer is formed by co-sputtering, the precursor layer is formed, for example, by co-sputtering a first metal target with at least one selected from the group consisting of a second target and a second alloy target.

[0040] The first metal target may be, for example, an eluted element. The first metal target may be one type or two or more types.

[0041] The second target may be, for example, at least one selected from the group consisting of metal elements other than the eluted elements, metalloid elements, and carbon. The second target may be of only one type, or of two or more types.

[0042] The second alloy target may be, for example, an alloy composed of at least two elements selected from the group consisting of metal elements other than the eluted elements, metalloid elements, and carbon. The second alloy target may be of only one type, or of two or more types.

[0043] In an embodiment in which the precursor layer is formed by co-sputtering, the first metal target, the second target, and the second alloy target may be selected and the sputtering conditions may be set as appropriate, for example, as described above, so that the content ratio of the eluted element in the resulting precursor layer to at least one element selected from the group consisting of metal elements other than the eluted element, metalloid elements, and carbon falls within the aforementioned range in atomic weight percentage (at %) of [eluted element]:[total of metal elements other than the eluted element, metalloid elements, and carbon].

[0044] In an embodiment in which the precursor layer is formed by sputtering an alloy target, the alloy target may be, for example, an alloy composed of a leaching element and at least one element selected from the group consisting of a metal element other than the leaching element, a metalloid element, and carbon. The alloy target may be of only one type, or of two or more types.

[0045] In an embodiment in which the precursor layer is formed by sputtering an alloy target, the alloy target may be selected and the sputtering conditions may be set as appropriate, for example, as described above, so that the content ratio of the eluted element in the resulting precursor layer to at least one element selected from the group consisting of metal elements other than the eluted element, metalloid elements, and carbon falls within the aforementioned range in terms of the atomic ratio (at %) of [eluted element]:[total of metal elements other than the eluted element, metalloid elements, and carbon].

[0046] When forming the precursor layer, film formation by sputtering may be performed multiple times for the purpose of adjusting the thickness (especially, adjusting to increase the thickness), etc. Furthermore, the number of targets may be increased for the purpose of adjusting the thickness (especially, adjusting to increase the thickness), etc.

[0047] [1-2-b. Dealloying Method] The porous layer can be formed, for example, by a dealloying method. For example, the porous layer can be formed by treating the precursor layer with a dealloying solution. This dealloying method allows eluted elements contained in the precursor layer to be dissolved into the dealloying solution, thereby forming the porous layer. Any appropriate conditions for the dealloying method can be adopted as long as the treatment with the dealloying solution can be performed at an appropriate temperature, as long as the effects of the present invention are not impaired.

[0048] The dealloying solution for treating the precursor layer may be, for example, any suitable acidic, alkaline, or neutral solution that can be used in a dealloying method. The concentration of the dealloying solution may be any suitable concentration depending on the purpose.

[0049] Examples of the acidic solution include an aqueous solution of hydrochloric acid, an aqueous solution of nitric acid, an aqueous solution of sulfuric acid, an aqueous solution of phosphoric acid, an aqueous solution of acetic acid, and a mixture thereof. Examples of the alkaline solution include an aqueous solution of sodium hydroxide and an aqueous solution of potassium hydroxide.

[0050] The treatment temperature in the dealloying method is, for example, 5° C. or higher, and may be 10° C. or higher, 20° C. or higher, 30° C. or higher, 40° C. or higher, 50° C. or higher, 60° C. or higher, 70° C. or higher, 80° C. or higher, 90° C. or higher, or 100° C. The upper limit of the treatment temperature in the dealloying method is, for example, less than 300° C.

[0051] In the dealloying method, the treatment with the dealloying solution may be carried out under normal pressure or under pressure. As a method for carrying out the treatment under pressure, any appropriate pressurizing method may be adopted as long as it does not impair the effects of the present invention. Such a pressurizing method may, for example, be pressurizing in a pressure-resistant vessel such as an autoclave.

[0052] <1-3. Adhesion layer> In the laminate film according to the embodiment of the present invention, the substrate and the porous layer are laminated via a specific adhesion layer. By having such a specific adhesion layer, the laminate film according to the embodiment of the present invention can further exhibit the effects of the present invention and can provide a laminate film that is excellent in durability even though it has a porous layer.

[0053] The thickness of the adhesive layer may be any appropriate total thickness as long as it does not impair the effects of the present invention. In terms of further exhibiting the effects of the present invention, the thickness of the adhesive layer is, for example, 1 nm to 1000 nm, or may be 1 nm to 500 nm, 2 nm to 500 nm, 3 nm to 500 nm, 4 nm to 500 nm, 5 nm to 500 nm, 5 nm to 300 nm, or 5 nm to 200 nm.

[0054] The adhesive layer may be made of one layer or may be a laminate of two or more layers.

[0055] The adhesive layer contains at least one selected from the group consisting of a metal element, a metalloid element, and carbon. The adhesive layer may contain any other appropriate component as long as the effects of the present invention are not impaired.

[0056] As the metal element that can be contained in the adhesive layer, any appropriate metal element can be adopted as long as the effects of the present invention are not impaired. The metal element may be only one type, or may be two or more types. When the adhesive layer contains two or more types of metal elements, the two or more types of metals may be an alloy.

[0057] The metal element typically includes at least one selected from the group consisting of a noble metal element and a base metal element. The noble metal element may be only one type, or two or more types. The base metal element may be only one type, or two or more types.

[0058] Any appropriate noble metal element may be used as long as it does not impair the effects of the present invention, such as at least one selected from the group consisting of Ru, Rh, Pd, Os, Ir, Pt, and Au.

[0059] Any appropriate base metal element may be used as the base metal element as long as it does not impair the effects of the present invention. Examples of the base metal element include metal elements other than noble metal elements, and preferably at least one selected from the group consisting of Mg, P, Sc, Ti, V, Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, Y, Zr, Nb, Mo, Ce, Pr, Ta, W, and Bi.

[0060] As the metalloid element, any appropriate metalloid element can be used as long as it does not impair the effects of the present invention. Examples of the metalloid element include B, Si, Ge, As, Sb, and Te, and preferably at least one element selected from the group consisting of B, Si, Ge, and Sb.

[0061] In one preferred embodiment, the adhesion layer contains at least one selected from the group consisting of a base metal element, a metalloid element, and carbon. In this embodiment, the adhesion layer does not necessarily contain a noble metal element.

[0062] In the laminate film according to an embodiment of the present invention, when a resin substrate (such as a polyethylene terephthalate (PET) substrate) is used as the substrate, it is a preferred embodiment that the adhesion layer contains at least one selected from the group consisting of base metal elements, semi-metal elements, and carbon, in order to further demonstrate the effects of the present invention. On the other hand, in the laminate film according to an embodiment of the present invention, when carbon paper or carbon paper with an MPL (Micro Porous Layer) formed thereon is used as the substrate, the adhesion layer may contain a precious metal element, and therefore it is a preferred embodiment that the adhesion layer contains at least one selected from the group consisting of metal elements (noble metal elements and base metal elements), semi-metal elements, and carbon, in order to further demonstrate the effects of the present invention.

[0063] In the laminate film according to an embodiment of the present invention, when an electrolyte membrane (e.g., Zirfon®) having a high surface roughness (e.g., greater than the thickness of the adhesion layer) is used as the substrate, it is preferable that at least one of the following conditions be satisfied: the adhesion layer contains Ni; and the adhesion layer has a thickness of 10 nm or more, in order to further improve durability and catalytic activity. It is more preferable that the adhesion layer contains Ni and the adhesion layer has a thickness of 10 nm or more. The thickness of the adhesion layer may be 10 nm to 1000 nm, 15 nm to 500 nm, 20 nm to 400 nm, 25 nm to 300 nm, 28 nm to 200 nm, or 30 nm to 100 nm. When an electrolyte membrane having a high surface roughness, such as Zirfon®, is used as the substrate, the difficulty of ion migration in the electrolyte can be suppressed even if the adhesion layer is made thick to a certain extent. On the other hand, when an electrolyte membrane with a small surface roughness such as Nafion (registered trademark) or an anion exchange membrane (PBI, etc.) is used, if the thickness of the adhesion layer is made large to a certain extent, it may become difficult for ions in the electrolyte to move.

[0064] The adhesion layer can be formed by any appropriate method as long as the effects of the present invention are not impaired. The adhesion layer is typically formed by a vacuum film formation method, for example, by vapor deposition or sputtering.

[0065] Formation by sputtering includes, for example, single target sputtering, co-sputtering (sometimes referred to as simultaneous sputtering), and alloy target sputtering.

[0066] Any appropriate sputtering conditions may be adopted as long as they do not impair the effects of the present invention. The atmosphere during sputtering may be, for example, a rare gas atmosphere such as argon. The pressure during sputtering may be, for example, 0.1 Pa to 10 Pa. Examples of the discharge method for sputtering include DC discharge, RF discharge, and MF-AC discharge. The sputtering temperature may be set to any appropriate temperature depending on the type of substrate, etc. The sputtering temperature may be, for example, -10°C to 150°C (e.g., sputtering onto a PET substrate), -10°C to 500°C (e.g., sputtering onto a PI substrate), or -10°C to 1000°C (e.g., sputtering onto a metal substrate).

[0067] Before sputtering, the sputtering target (typically a substrate) may be cleaned by subjecting it to a plasma treatment, such as ion bombardment. Any appropriate conditions for the plasma treatment may be adopted as long as the effects of the present invention are not impaired.

[0068] 2. Uses of Laminate Films Because laminate films according to embodiments of the present invention have excellent durability, they can be used in a variety of applications, including optical applications (e.g., refractive index control members), catalyst applications (e.g., catalyst composites for water electrolysis (laminate composites including a porous layer as a catalyst layer and an electrolyte membrane), catalyst composites for fuel cells (laminate composites including a porous layer as a catalyst layer and an electrolyte membrane), catalyst composites for CO electrolysis (e.g., for electrolytic synthesis of formic acid or synthetic fuels) (laminate composites including a porous layer as a catalyst layer and an electrolyte membrane)), thermocompression bonding (thermal lamination), and membrane applications (e.g., water evaporation promotion membranes). In particular, because the porous layer can function as a catalyst layer, laminate films according to embodiments of the present invention are suitable for use in catalyst composites for water electrolysis and catalyst composites for fuel cells.

[0069] The present invention will be described in more detail below with reference to examples, but the present invention is not limited to these examples. The test and evaluation methods used in the examples are as follows.

[0070] <Thickness of Layer Formed by Sputtering> The thickness of the layer formed by sputtering each element onto the glass substrate was calculated using a stylus film thickness step meter (Dektak, manufactured by Bruker). Based on the obtained layer thickness of each element and the elemental composition of the layer actually formed by sputtering, the thickness of the layer formed by sputtering was calculated, and this calculated thickness was defined as the thickness of the layer formed by sputtering.

[0071] <Evaluation of the Presence or Absence of Peeling of Porous Layer from Substrate (Durability Evaluation)> The obtained laminated film was visually inspected to see whether or not the porous layer had peeled from the substrate, and evaluated according to the following criteria: ◯: No peeling was observed.
