Description

Preparation method of copper-based flexible composite material
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of flexible electronic printing, and particularly relates to a preparation method of a copper-based flexible composite material.
Background
The flexible printed electronic technology is an electronic manufacturing technology based on a printing principle and is widely applied to the fields of flexible touch screen panels, sensors, power electronic packages, flexible circuits, solar cells and the like. The flexible printed electronic material for flexible printed electronic technology is obtained by depositing conductive ink on the surface of a substrate and then sintering. Nano metal has the characteristics of low sintering temperature, strong conductivity, strong flexibility and the like, and becomes one of important materials of conductive ink. Silver (Ag) and gold (Au) have excellent conductivity and stability, and nano-silver conductive ink and nano-gold conductive ink are ideal choices for preparing flexible printed electronic materials, however, silver and gold are expensive and are not suitable for large-scale use in industrial production. The development of the flexible printed electronic material with low price, good conductivity and fatigue resistance has great significance for promoting the industrialization of flexible printed electronics.
Copper has conductivity inferior to silver, which has the best conductivity, but its price is only one percent of silver, so nano-copper conductive ink is one of the most promising metallic materials in flexible printed electronic materials. However, nano copper has strong oxidation tendency, and fatigue resistance of the nano copper is reduced after oxidation, so that the resistivity of a formed flexible circuit is rapidly increased after long-time working, and the flexible circuit cannot stably work for a long time, thereby preventing the application of copper in flexible printed electronics.

As can be seen from fig. 5 and table 2, as the content of the graphene/copper composite material increases, the resistivity increase rate of the copper-based flexible composite material is significantly reduced after the fatigue resistance test, and when the content of the graphene/copper composite material is 0, the resistivity increase rate is 294.6%; when the content of the graphene/copper composite material is 0.5%, the resistivity increase rate is 46.7%.
