Description
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of preparation of new noble metal materials, and particularly relates to a spherical silver powder and a preparation method thereof.
Background
With the increasing exhaustion of non-renewable energy sources such as petroleum, coal and the like, the development of renewable energy sources is attracting more attention, and solar energy is becoming more abundant and main clean energy source, so how to improve the efficiency of photovoltaic power generation is becoming the focus of research. The photovoltaic silver paste is a main raw material for printing the solar cell panel due to the excellent rheological property and conductivity, and the silver powder is used as a main conductive phase in the silver paste of the solar cell, and the mass ratio of the silver powder in the silver paste is about 90%, so that the rheological property and the conductivity of the silver paste are decisive. With the increasing demands of the market for the photoelectric conversion efficiency of solar cells, the preparation of silver powder with excellent sintering activity and printing performance is the focus of attention.
At present, the preparation of silver powder mainly uses a liquid phase method, the method mainly uses silver salt or a complex thereof as an oxidant, and micron-sized silver powder is prepared by a redox method, wherein the process is a conversion process of silver ions to silver simple substances, and the nucleation and growth of silver particles are involved, so that reasonable control of the nucleation and growth rate of the silver particles is a main method for determining the performance of the silver powder. Generally, the size and morphology of silver powder are adjusted by controlling the reaction temperature/pH/reactant concentration/reactant species and the feeding rate to influence the reaction rate. However, the above method cannot accurately control the nucleation and growth processes of silver particles, and if the nucleation and growth processes of silver particles occur simultaneously in the oxidation-reduction process, the silver particles will have uneven size distribution, and the controllable maximum particle size is limited.
Patent CN115620958a discloses a method for preparing micron silver powder with controllable particle size, which controls the nucleation and growth process of silver particles by preparing different oxidation/reduction solutions and controlling the size of silver particles by the strength of the oxidation-reduction capability. The method for regulating and controlling the size of the silver particles is more severe, the size cannot be accurately controlled, and the stability is poor; when silver particles with different particle diameters are prepared, different organic solvents or dispersing agents are needed, and the method is not suitable for large-scale industrial production and has a great risk.
The patent CN102528069A discloses a silver powder preparation method, which comprises the steps of adding alkali, alkaline oxide, weak acid strong alkali salt, weak acid weak alkali salt and organic matters which can be ionized into weak acid weak alkali salt into a reducing agent to serve as a pH regulator, wherein the core is that H + is generated in the neutralization reaction process, and hard aggregation of silver particles is prevented when the silver particles reach the isoelectric point; because the reducing agent with various reducing strengths exists in the reducing solution, the reaction process is more severe, the stability of the reaction process is poor, and a large amount of H + generated in the severe reaction process can be neutralized by adding a large amount of neutralizing agent, so that the hard agglomeration of silver particles is weakened, the reaction process is further aggravated, the soft mass of the silver particles is caused, the burning loss of silver powder is increased due to the aggravation of the reaction process, and the market application of the silver powder is not facilitated.

Comparative example 2:
Preparation of spheroid silver powder D2#, and method for preparing the same
Comparative example 2 the silver powder was prepared in substantially the same manner as in example 1 except that a silver colloid was used instead of the neutralizing agent completely, while increasing the amount of reducing agent added, comprising the steps of:
Weighing 1.60kg of silver nitrate solid to prepare 20% silver nitrate solution A; weighing 0.87kg of ascorbic acid as a reducing agent to prepare a reducing agent solution B with the mass concentration of 10%; 0.224kg of polyvinylpyrrolidone was weighed out to prepare a dispersant solution C having a mass concentration of 3.66%.
1.5G of silver colloid with the particle size of 40nm (the silver particle content is 6.0 per mill, and the silver particle has a hydrophilic surface) is weighed and added into the dispersing agent solution C, after the silver colloid is uniformly stirred, the temperature of a reaction kettle is kept at 15 ℃ and the stirring speed is 300r/min, and the silver nitrate solution A and the reducing agent solution B are respectively dropwise added into the dispersing agent solution C in a parallel flow feeding mode, wherein the dropwise adding time is 10min.
Washing with deionized water and ethanol, filtering, drying at 70deg.C for 30min, and sieving with 500 mesh sieve to obtain silver powder. The silver powder obtained had an actual particle diameter D50 of 2.1 μm and a tap density of 6.10g/m 3, and a scanning electron microscope image was shown in FIG. 8, and as shown in FIG. 8, the silver powder had a satisfactory dispersibility and dimensional uniformity, but a low sphericity and crystallinity.
Test example:
The comparison of the performance parameters of the silver powders obtained in each example and comparative example is shown in table 1:
TABLE 1
As can be seen from the results of table 1, in comparative example 1, after the silver colloid is added, in the initial stage of the reaction, on the one hand, the newly formed silver simple substance directly grows on the basis of the silver colloid, on the other hand, the newly formed silver simple substance self-nucleates, and the newly formed silver simple substance self-nucleates simultaneously, so that the size distribution of the silver powder is widened, agglomeration growth between large and small powders is easily formed, and the sphericity and the dispersibility are relatively reduced. The use of silver colloid in comparative example 2 completely replaces the neutralizing agent, avoids the problem of uneven size distribution caused by the simultaneous occurrence of nucleation and growth processes, but reduces the induction effect of the silver colloid with the increase of silver powder size and the decrease of the pH of the reaction solution in the reaction process, and the newly generated silver simple substance cannot be uniformly distributed on the silver core, so that the sphericity and crystallinity of the silver powder are rapidly deteriorated. In specific examples 1 to 6, the preparation of the spheroidal silver powder is sequentially controlled from the particle size range of 0.9 to 3.6 mu m, the obtained silver powder has uniform morphology, good dispersibility and higher tap density, the precise regulation and control of nucleation reaction are verified by adjusting the dosage, the type and the like of the neutralizer, and the graded regulation and control of the nucleation and growth process of the silver powder are realized under the reaction system.
The comparison of the performance parameters of the slurries prepared from the silver powders obtained in example 4 and comparative examples 1 to 2 is shown in Table 2:
TABLE 2
| Sample of | Fineness of | VIS | High height | Wide width of | Ratio of | Line resistor |
| Example silver powder 4# | 3 | 244/109/55 | 11.12 | 26.36 | 0.422 | 1.10 |
| Comparative example silver powder D1#) | 8 | 260/115/70 | 11.02 | 32.50 | 0.34 | 1.14 |
| Comparative example silver powder D2#) | 5 | 210/95/40 | 12.15 | 29.21 | 0.416 | 1.28 |
As shown in the results of table 2, since the silver powder d1# of comparative example has a certain aggregation, the fineness of the silver powder after pulping is larger, and a large amount of small powder exists at the same time, the line width is wider during printing, and the line collection is not facilitated; the comparative example silver powder d2# has a low sphericity, a relatively poor printability due to the high crystallinity of the silver powder, a lower viscosity than the silver powder d1# of example 4# and comparative example, and a high crystallinity results in a poor sintering activity and a large line resistance after printing. Example 4# has good plasticity (larger difference of test viscosity at different rotation speeds) and lower line resistance due to good dispersibility of silver powder, high sphericity and lower fineness of slurry after pulping; compared with the prior art, the spherical silver powder and the preparation method thereof have the advantages that the spherical silver powder has good dispersibility and sphericity, and meanwhile, the silver powder has high activity, and the spherical silver powder has wide application prospect in the field of photovoltaic silver paste.
The foregoing is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention, and it should be noted that modifications and improvements could be made by those skilled in the art without departing from the inventive concept, which falls within the scope of the present invention.
