Description

Non-poisonous sodium cyanide or potassium cyanide silver plating solution and preparation method thereof TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to a non-poisonous sodium cyanide or potassium cyanide silver plating solution and a preparation method thereof, and belongs to the technical field of plating solutions and preparation thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] The complexing agent is a compound capable of forming a complex ion with a metal ion. In an electroplating solution, except for a few electroplating solutions such as acid solution plating iron, plating nickel, plating chromium, and plating copper, which do not use or do not need to use a complexing agent, most electroplating solutions such as alkaline solution plating silver, plating gold, plating copper, plating zinc, plating tin, and plating copper-tin alloy all need to use a complexing agent.

[0003] Silver has a wide range of uses in industry and daily life, is a high-tech metal, and is also a dual-purpose metal for military and civilian use. The electroplated silver layer has a unique silver-white luster and stable chemical properties. The electroplated silver layer has high electrical conductivity and thermal conductivity, and has good soldering performance. Electroplated silver has been widely used in printed circuit boards and electronic components in the electronic industry, important parts of instruments and meters, aircraft, optical instruments, and high-frequency components and waveguide communication equipment and devices to ensure good electrical conductivity and soldering performance. In addition, electroplated silver has a beautiful silver-white luster and is widely used as a decorative layer in household appliances, tableware, and various handicrafts.

[0004] As of now, the main non-cyanide silver plating systems that have been studied include sulfite silver plating, thiosulfate silver plating, iodide silver plating, ammonium imino disulfonate (NS) silver plating, imidazole-sulfosalicylic acid silver plating, succinimide silver plating, hydantoin silver plating, and nicotinic acid silver plating. However, the non-poisonous sodium cyanide or potassium cyanide systems currently in use generally have problems such as poor plating solution stability, low plating layer performance, and harsh allowable process conditions (narrow current density range). Therefore, it is urgent to develop a complexing agent to replace cyanide for use in non-cyanide electroplating processes.

[0005] The present application relates to a non-poisonous sodium cyanide or potassium cyanide silver plating solution and preparation method thereof, and belongs to the technical field of plating solutions and preparation thereof. 26~27, far superior to the cyanide-free complexing agent in the prior art, the plating solution prepared from the complexing agent has stable quality, good dispersibility, a wider range of process current density that can be used, and a wide range of application of the plating solution. With higher requirements for the quality of electroplated products, after meeting the higher complexing force, the deep plating capacity of the complexing agent also needs to be considered, the plating layer needs to be more compact, and the electroplating efficiency needs to be improved to achieve energy saving of the electroplating process. Based on the problems to be solved by the newly proposed cyanide-free electroplating, the inventors of the present application have developed a new non-toxic sodium cyanide or potassium cyanide silver plating solution and disclosed a preparation method thereof.
