Description

IZO target precursor and preparation method and application thereof
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of photoelectric functional materials, in particular to an IZO target precursor and a preparation method and application thereof.
Background
Transparent Conductive Oxide (TCO) is an important photoelectronic functional material, and has high transmittance for visible light, high reflectance for infrared light, and excellent conductivity. Therefore, the TCO is widely used in the fields of solar cells, flat panel and liquid crystal displays, light emitting diodes, and heat radiation reflectors. Tin-doped indium Oxide (Indi μm Tin Oxide, ITO for short) is the most widely used transparent conductive film at present, and the mass content of indium Oxide in the film reaches 90%. As is well known, the content of metal indium in the earth crust is rare, and the metal indium is a rare resource and is expensive; and ITO is unstable in hydrogen plasma. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a novel transparent conductive film with a low indium content instead of ITO. The zinc oxide has rich raw material sources, low price, no toxicity and good stability in hydrogen plasma; the conductive film is a wide-bandgap semiconductor, has high transmittance to visible light, is easy to realize n-type doping, and the conductivity of the n-type doped transparent conductive film is close to that of ITO. Therefore, a transparent conductive film doped with zinc oxide as a matrix has become a focus of current research, and ITO is gradually replaced in many fields.
Therefore, development of an IZO target precursor is required, and the IZO target prepared by using the IZO target precursor has high uniformity.
Disclosure of Invention
In order to solve the problems in the prior art, the invention provides the IZO target precursor, and the IZO target prepared by using the IZO target precursor has high uniformity.
The invention also provides a preparation method of the IZO target precursor.
The invention also provides application of the IZO target precursor.
The invention also provides an IZO target which has high uniformity.
The invention also provides a preparation method of the IZO target material.
The invention also provides the application of the IZO target.
The first aspect of the present invention provides an IZO target precursor, which includes the following components: indium oxide and zinc oxide;
the mass ratio of the indium oxide to the zinc oxide is 1: 0.05-0.2;
the specific surface area of the IZO target precursor is 5m2G to 20m2Between/g.
The higher the specific surface area of the precursor, the higher the sintering activity and the easier the sintering, but the finer the powder, the too large the elastic after-effect of the press forming, the easy delamination or cracking of the target material, the lower the specific surface area, the higher the sintering temperature needed and the more difficult the sintering.
According to some embodiments of the invention, the IZO target precursor has a specific surface area of 8m2G to 12m2Between/g.
The second aspect of the present invention provides a method for preparing an IZO target precursor, comprising the following steps:
mixing indium raw material liquid and zinc raw material liquid, adding a pH regulator, regulating the pH to 7.7-8.6, reacting, performing solid-liquid separation after the reaction is finished, collecting a solid phase, drying and calcining the solid phase to obtain an IZO precursor;
the reaction requires ball milling or emulsification.
ITO powder is easy to be subjected to coprecipitation to obtain uniform powder, but IZO (indium zinc oxide) is easy to agglomerate, and conventional coprecipitation can cause zinc hydroxide precipitate to be coated with a large amount of anions, so that large agglomerates are formed in the final powder calcination process, and sintering of a target material is not facilitated.
The pH value in the reaction process is regulated, so that the agglomeration degree of zinc hydroxide precipitate is reduced, and the coating of anions is reduced, so that the powder still keeps very good activity after being calcined, and the sintering is facilitated.
Meanwhile, in the reaction process, the liquid is strongly emulsified, so that large-range area agglomeration is not generated in the reaction process.
According to some embodiments of the invention, the indium raw material liquid includes at least one of indium sulfate, indium nitrate, and indium chloride.
According to some embodiments of the invention, the indium raw material liquid is indium chloride.
According to some embodiments of the invention, the zinc feed solution comprises at least one of zinc sulfate, zinc nitrate, and zinc chloride.

According to some embodiments of the invention, the molar concentration of zinc in the zinc feed solution is between 0.05mol/L and 0.3 mol/L.
Too high a salt concentration can result in too high a local concentration and can therefore exacerbate agglomeration. If the salt concentration is too low, the reaction speed is slower, and the specific surface area value of the precursor generated by the reaction is higher, which is not beneficial to subsequent production.
According to some embodiments of the invention, the pH adjusting agent is an inorganic base or a carbonate.
According to some embodiments of the invention, the inorganic base is at least one of sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide, cesium hydroxide and ammonia monohydrate.
According to some embodiments of the invention, the carbonate salt is at least one of sodium carbonate, potassium carbonate, cesium carbonate, sodium bicarbonate, potassium bicarbonate and cesium bicarbonate.
The reaction speed of different alkalis is different, and the stronger the alkalinity, the faster the reaction speed, the more difficult it is to control the reaction degree. Control of the pH is critical, but is dependent on the base added.
Generally, the reaction speed of high-concentration strong base is faster, agglomeration is aggravated, and target sintering is not facilitated. Therefore, low concentrations of strong or weak bases are usually chosen to achieve a slow adjustment of the pH.
An excessive amount of the precipitant causes the pH of the system to become high. Thereby causing poor dispersibility of the reacted precursor.
According to some embodiments of the invention, the temperature of the reaction is between 20 ℃ and 45 ℃.
According to some embodiments of the invention, the temperature of the calcination is from 600 ℃ to 1500 ℃.

According to some embodiments of the invention, the temperature of the degreasing in the step S3 is 400 ℃ to 700 ℃.
According to some embodiments of the invention, the temperature increase rate of the degreasing in the step S3 is 0.5 ℃/min to 2 ℃/min.

Example 2 when the concentrations of zinc salt and indium salt were higher, the reaction became slightly more vigorous, the precipitates agglomerated slightly, and the target density was lower in the same coating process).
From a comparison of examples 3 and 4 with example 1, it is apparent that: after the pH value is higher, the powder is easy to agglomerate, the sintering density is lower, and the target material is slightly uneven.
From a comparison of example 6 with example 1, it is apparent that: the lack of ball milling during the reaction process can lead to poor uniformity of the finally prepared target material, thereby causing the target material to be intensively poisoned during the film plating process.
The coating conditions of the target material prepared in the embodiment 1 of the invention are shown in fig. 1-4, and it can be seen from fig. 1-4 that the target material prepared in the embodiment 1 of the invention has uniform film formation and no poisoning.
The coating conditions of the target material of embodiment 8 of the invention are shown in fig. 5 to 6, and it can be seen from fig. 1 to 4 that the target material prepared in embodiment 1 of the invention has poor film-forming uniformity and is poisoned intensively.
In conclusion, the uniformity problem of the IZO target material is solved by controlling the preparation method of the precursor; the preparation method of the invention reduces the mechanical mixing and crushing process of IZO powder and also reduces the introduction of impurities in the mixing and crushing process; meanwhile, the production cost is effectively reduced. The IZO target material prepared by the invention has good uniformity, does not generate nodulation and point discharge in the use process, and improves the uniformity of a film layer.
