The invention relates to the technical field of
metal powder preparation, in particular to high-tap-density and high-
crystallinity gold
powder and a preparation method thereof. The preparation method comprises the following steps: preparing a
seed crystal solution, preparing a gold
salt solution from
chloroauric acid and a complexing agent, preparing a
mixed solution of a
reducing agent and a dispersing agent, and dropwise adding the gold
salt solution and the
reducing agent solution into the
seed crystal solution at a certain rate, so that the
seed crystal gradually grows into micron-sized particles. According to the method, small-size
gold particles serve as seed crystals, the
nucleation process and the growth process in a
liquid phase method can be separated, and the prepared
gold particles are uniform in particle size; meanwhile, the complexing agent and the dispersing agent are added, the
reaction rate in the growth process can be reduced, and the
crystallinity of the
gold particles is improved. The preparation method is simple and convenient, the grain size of the gold
powder is controllable, the tap density of the prepared gold powder is larger than or equal to 9.0 g / cm < 3 >, the
crystallinity is high, the grain size distribution is narrow, the
dispersity is good, and the requirement of the gold powder for high-performance electronic paste can be met.
