Description

Superfine silver powder for HJT low-temperature silver paste and preparation method thereof
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of solar silver paste, and particularly relates to superfine silver powder for HJT low-temperature silver paste and a preparation method thereof.
Background
With the development of solar crystalline silicon heterojunction solar cell (Heterojunction Technology, HJT) technology, the application and technical development of low-temperature HJT silver paste are increasingly paid attention to. HJT silver paste is required to be capable of being printed at room temperature, the curing temperature is lower than 200 ℃, the cured silver wire circuit has very good bulk resistance, and the cured silver wire circuit can form relatively good contact resistance with a substrate material at the lower layer. Most of HJT silver paste in the current market is still required to be imported, and the biggest reason is that no mature mass production technology exists in China in the silver powder serving as a key material, and the domestic silver powder used for HJT technology is still blank at present. The currently known silver powder for HJT technology is divided into three types, namely a flake silver powder with high tap density, a semi-flake silver powder with high tap density and an ultrafine silver powder with tap density of more than 5, wherein the particle size distribution of the silver powder is between 0.3 and 0.4 microns. The third type of superfine silver powder with tap density larger than 5 has the largest proportion in low-temperature HJT silver paste, and has great influence on the performance of the low-temperature HJT silver paste, especially on the bulk resistance, and the technical difficulty of the silver powder mass production is the highest recognized in industry.
The traditional synthesis and separation of the superfine silver powder with the high tap density and the distribution particle size of 0.3-0.4 microns have the following technical difficulties:
firstly, the distribution particle size is concentrated, and a relatively large amount of dispersing agent is adopted in the synthesis process, so that the dispersing agent can effectively disperse during silver powder synthesis, so that enough space is kept between silver powder particles, a hard aggregation state cannot be formed in the synthesis process, and the current requirement of silver powder cannot be met;
secondly, if the surface energy of the synthesized silver powder is too high, after the silver powder is separated from the solution, the silver powder with larger surface energy can be finally changed into polycrystalline large-particle silver powder, so that the particle size distribution of the silver powder can not meet the requirement;
finally, the dispersing agent can be easily cleaned and removed after the silver powder is synthesized, and the silver powder and the solution are easily separated. The problem with such ultra-fine silver powder made from the dispersants like PVP, hydroxyethyl cellulose, gelatin, and arabinon mentioned in other patents is that during the synthesis stage, the silver powder performance can be kept in a good dispersion state in the mixed state of the solution and the silver powder, but once the subsequent separation of the silver powder and the solution is performed, the problems of agglomeration of the silver powder particles, enlargement of the silver powder particles, suspension of the silver powder particles in the solution, and the like occur.
Disclosure of Invention
In order to solve the technical problems, the invention provides the superfine silver powder for HJT low-temperature silver paste and the preparation method thereof, wherein the silver powder is the third type of superfine silver powder, has simple preparation method, excellent properties, excellent bulk resistance conductivity and excellent contact resistance after solidification, and can meet the technical requirements of the silver powder required by HJT silver paste on the market.
The aim of the invention is achieved by the following technical scheme:
the preparation method of the superfine silver powder for HJT low-temperature silver paste comprises the following steps:
1) Uniformly mixing silver nitrate and deionized water according to the mass ratio of 1 (5-20), stirring and dissolving in a reaction kettle A, controlling the temperature to be (30+/-1) DEG C, and maintaining the time for 5-10min; then adding alkali solution according to the mass ratio of silver nitrate to alkali solution of 1 (2-3), wherein the mass ratio of alkali to water in the alkali solution is 1: (3-5) generating silver oxide suspension, and then adding a mixed dispersing agent into the suspension, wherein the total addition amount of the mixed dispersing agent is 5-30% of the mass of the silver nitrate;
2) Adding deionized water, vitamin C and a mixed dispersing agent into a reaction kettle B, wherein the mass ratio of the added vitamin C to the silver nitrate is (1-1.5): 1, the total added amount of the mixed dispersing agent is 5-30% of the mass of the silver nitrate, the temperature is controlled at (30+/-1) DEG C, and the time is maintained for 5-10min;
the mixed dispersing agent in the step 1) and the step 2) is the mixture of a dispersing agent A and a dispersing agent B, wherein the mass ratio of the dispersing agent A to the dispersing agent B is (10-20) 1, the dispersing agent A is selected from phosphorus element or sulfonic polyether modified acrylic resin, and the dispersing agent B is selected from imidazole or imidazole derivatives;
3) Slowly adding the solution in the reaction kettle B into the reaction kettle A at a constant speed for 5-10min, continuously stirring for 10-15min after all the solution is added, adding an alcohol solution which is equivalent to 1-2 permillage of the mass of silver nitrate and is dissolved with oleic acid for silver powder coating treatment, and rapidly separating the silver powder from the solution after 5-10min, wherein the mass concentration of the alcohol solution which is dissolved with oleic acid is 15-25%;
4) Adding silver powder obtained by separation in the previous step into a ball milling tank, and adding zirconium balls with the diameter of 1mm into the ball milling tank, wherein the mass ratio of silver nitrate to the zirconium balls is 1:4; adding alcohol, wherein the mass ratio of the silver nitrate to the alcohol is 1 (0.5-0.8), and ball milling for 2-5 hours according to 80-100 revolutions per minute; and then separating silver powder, alcohol and zirconium balls by using a 100-mesh screen, continuously separating the silver powder from the alcohol by using a suction filtration mode, and freeze-drying to obtain the superfine silver powder with tap density of more than 5, wherein the particle size distribution of the silver powder is 0.2, 0.3-0.4 and 0.6 of D50, and the particle sizes are very concentrated.
In the invention, the following components are added:
the strong base described in step 1) is preferably sodium hydroxide.
The dispersing agent A in the step 1) and the step 2) is phosphorus element or sulfonic polyether modified acrylic resin, preferably phosphorus element modified acrylic resin or sulfonic polyether modified acrylic resin, and the dispersing agent has the functions of enabling the particle size of the generated silver powder to be smaller, and has very good dispersing performance in a solution, no hard agglomeration, separated particles and uniform and concentrated particle size of the silver powder within the required particle size distribution range of 0.3-0.4 microns. The key is that the dispersing agent is easy to dissolve in water and alcohol in the cleaning process of silver powder, and can not adhere to the surface of the silver powder, so that the silver powder is easy to realize and the solution is easy to separate. The dispersing agent B is imidazole or imidazole derivatives, preferably imidazole or methylimidazole, and has the function of enabling the generated silver powder to present a polyhedral complete crystal phase structure, wherein the polyhedral crystal phase can enable the surface energy of the silver powder to be reduced, and particles are kept in an independent and separated state in a drying treatment process and ball milling process required after the synthesis of the superfine silver powder, so that hard agglomeration caused by overlarge surface energy in the drying moisture and ball milling process can be avoided.
The addition amount of the mixed dispersing agent in the step 1 and the step 2) is 5-30% of the weight of the silver nitrate; if the ratio is smaller than the above ratio, the effect of the mixed dispersing agent is not obvious, and problems such as particle enlargement and agglomeration of silver powder can occur; if the amount added exceeds this ratio, the particle size of the silver powder will decrease and agglomeration will easily occur, thereby failing to reach the particle size distribution range and tap density range of the silver powder required in the present patent.
The mass ratio of the phosphorus element or sulfonic polyether modified acrylic resin to the imidazole or imidazole derivative in the step 1 and the step 2) is (10-20): 1; if the proportion of the phosphorus element or the sulfonic polyether modified acrylic resin is too high, large-particle polycrystalline agglomerated silver powder is easy to form in the drying and ball milling processes of the silver powder; if the ratio is too low, the silver powder is easy to generate an agglomeration state in the synthesis process of the reaction liquid, and the required performance of the silver powder of the patent cannot be achieved.
The rapid separation in the step 3) is realized by using a suction filtration mode to rapidly separate silver powder from deionized water, and alcohol with the mass concentration of 10-30% is used for cleaning in the last two times, and the water in the silver powder subjected to ball milling can be reduced to a negligible state due to the dehydration and rapid volatilization of the alcohol.
The invention also relates to the superfine silver powder for HJT low-temperature silver paste, which is obtained by adopting the preparation method of the superfine silver powder for HJT low-temperature silver paste, and has the tap density of more than 5, wherein the particle size distribution of the superfine silver powder is that D10 is 0.20-0.23, D50 is 0.30-0.40, D90 is 0.60-0.63, and the particle sizes are very concentrated.
Compared with the prior art, the invention has the following advantages:
1. according to the preparation method of the superfine silver powder for HJT low-temperature silver paste, the pH and the temperature do not need to be specially adjusted in the production process, the reaction can be completed at normal temperature, and the reaction energy consumption is reduced; in addition, compared with the traditional process, the preparation method provided by the invention has the advantages that the process is relatively simple, the reaction time is short, the production efficiency is greatly improved, and the production cost is saved.
2. According to the preparation method of the superfine silver powder for HJT low-temperature silver paste, in the synthesis and distribution optimization of silver powder particles, a double-dispersing agent mode is adopted, wherein the dispersing agent of phosphorus element or sulfonic polyether modified acrylic resin optimizes the whole concentration degree and particle size distribution range of the silver powder particles, imidazole or imidazole derivatives optimize the surface crystal form condition of the particle state of the silver powder, so that the surface energy of the superfine silver powder after synthesis is greatly reduced, the synthesized silver powder is easy to separate from a liquid phase, agglomeration and the like caused by over-high activity in the ball milling and drying processes at the later stage are avoided, and the silver powder dispersing agent produced by the method is easy to be subjected to removal treatment by water and alcohol, and cannot adhere to the surface of the silver powder, so that the silver powder is suspended in water and is not well separated in the washing process; the whole production process is extremely simple and easy to operate, and large-scale production is realized.

1. according to the preparation method of the superfine silver powder for HJT low-temperature silver paste, in the synthesis and distribution optimization of silver powder particles, a double-dispersing agent mode is adopted, wherein the dispersing agent of phosphorus element or sulfonic polyether modified acrylic resin optimizes the whole concentration degree and particle size distribution range of the silver powder particles, imidazole or imidazole derivatives optimize the surface crystal form condition of the particle state of the silver powder, so that the surface energy of the superfine silver powder after synthesis is greatly reduced, the synthesized silver powder is easy to separate from a liquid phase, agglomeration and the like caused by over-high activity in the ball milling and drying processes at the later stage are avoided, and the silver powder dispersing agent produced by the method is easy to be subjected to removal treatment by water and alcohol, and is not adhered to the surface of the silver powder, so that the silver powder is suspended in water and is not well separated in the washing process; the whole production process is extremely simple and easy to operate, and large-scale production is realized.
2. Comparison of example 1 with comparative example 1, comparative example 2 shows that: if the proportion of the phosphorus element or the sulfonic polyether modified acrylic resin is too high, large-particle polycrystalline agglomerated silver powder is easy to form in the drying and ball milling processes of the silver powder; if this ratio is too low, the silver powder is also liable to be in an agglomerated state during the synthesis of the reaction solution, and the desired properties of the silver powder of the present application cannot be achieved.
As can be seen from the HJT low-temperature silver paste print pattern prepared from the silver powder of example 1, the paste print pattern is well shaped and the printing is continuous without broken lines.
As can be seen from the HJT low-temperature silver paste printing pattern prepared from the silver powder prepared in comparative example 1, if the ultrafine silver powder has more large particles, the prepared paste is printed with the problems of partial printing broken lines, discontinuous printing height difference and the like, and the bulk resistance is increased while the contact resistance is not greatly influenced, so that the overall performance of HJT low-temperature silver paste is influenced.
As can be seen from the HJT low-temperature silver paste printing pattern prepared from the silver powder prepared in the comparative example 2, if the superfine silver powder has obvious agglomeration phenomenon, the prepared paste is printed with severe printing broken lines, the volume resistance is rapidly increased, the contact resistance is greatly increased, and the overall performance of HJT low-temperature silver paste is seriously affected.
