This invention relates to the field of
nickel electrode paste preparation technology, and discloses an ultrafine roller-printed
nickel paste for ultra-
high capacitance MLCCs and its preparation method. The
nickel paste includes nickel
powder, Ni3Sn-coated nickel
powder,
diffusion barrier phase, resin,
solvent, dispersant, and
rheology modifier. The Ni3Sn-coated nickel
powder is obtained by
chemical plating, where Sn is bonded to Ni in the form of an
intermetallic compound. The
diffusion barrier phase is selected from nano-ZrO2 or TiO2 particles. After pre-dispersing each
solid component with a portion of the dispersant and
solvent, the mixture is ground and dispersed using a gradient
grinding process, then mixed with an organic carrier to form a paste. After vacuum degassing and
filtration, the nickel paste is obtained. This invention uses Ni3Sn-coated nickel powder to replace elemental Sn powder, inhibiting the formation of a dense SnO2
passivation layer. Combined with the blocking effect of the
diffusion barrier phase at the grain boundaries and the protection of the
coating layer integrity by the gradient
grinding process, this invention solves the problem of long-term reliability degradation of MLCCs caused by Sn storage.
