Definitions
- the present invention concerns a new process for the manufacture of metals with fibrous morphology, in particular a metallic material with fibrous morphology having fibres of nanometric thickness.
- the marked difficulty of handling and using metallic nanostructures is chiefly connected to their very marked tendency to aggregation.
- the aggregation of metallic nanoparticles represents a considerable drawback since it involves the complete loss of the mesoscopic characteristics (e.g. plasma absorption, fluorescence, etc.) and small metallic masses of sub-micrometric dimensions are formed that are arborescent (dendrites) that cannot in practice be used for any technological application.
- mesoscopic characteristics e.g. plasma absorption, fluorescence, etc.
- small metallic masses of sub-micrometric dimensions are formed that are arborescent (dendrites) that cannot in practice be used for any technological application.
- the aggregation of metallic nanoparticles may bring about the development of particular fibrous structures that can have significant technological applications in various sectors (e.g. electrodes for batteries [9-11], electrostatic filters [12], oxygen sensors [13], sterilisers for the air [14], devices to dose ozone [15], heterogeneous catalysts [16], heat exchangers [17], membranes for ultrafiltration of biological liquids [17], etc).
- These materials also enable the welding characteristics of electric contacts to be improved, reducing contact resistance and, thus, reducing wastage of electricity [18].
- the polymeric bonding agent plays a very important role and is frequently comprised of polyvinyl pyrrolidone (PVP).
- PVP polyvinyl pyrrolidone
- the polymeric bonding agent plays a very important role and is frequently comprised of polyvinyl pyrrolidone (PVP).
- PVP is an amorphous polymer that decomposes rapidly and quantitatively at relatively low temperatures (ca. 350-500°C). For this particular characteristic its use is widespread in the sector of sintering ceramic powders at low temperature [19-21].
- the material is used as a bonding agent for fine-grain ceramic powders, whereby a precursor tape can be made, subsequently heated in air at 250-300°C to completely burn the polymer bonding agent and then heated to 900-1400°C to conclude the sintering-densification of the ceramic material.
- the polymer burns in air without leaving any type of solid residue such that, at the completion of its combustion, the result is an intimately aggregated powder. Few other polymers present analogous characteristics (e.g. polyvinyl alcohol, PVA) and may thus be used in its place.
- PVA polyvinyl alcohol
- the purpose of the present invention is to develop a new economic and innovative process for the manufacture of a metallic material with fibrous morphology. According to the present invention, this purpose is achieved thanks to the solution described specifically in the attached claims.
- the claims form an integral part of the technical instruction provided here in regard to the invention.
- the invention relates to a process for the manufacture of metallic fibres as defined in the claims.
- the fibres present nanometric thickness and thus the surface development of the solid metal is the maximum that can be achieved for a porous structure.
- the fibrous morphology is only produced when the nanocomposite presents a relatively reduced nano-load of metal (approximately 5% by weight).
- the fibrous metallic structure corresponding to a sort of metallic wool, has been obtained by burning a particular hybrid organic-inorganic nanostructured system in air, that is by burning a metal-polymer nanocomposite. From the structural standpoint this precursor is constituted of spherical metal nanoparticles with mean particle size of approximately 3-15 nm, not aggregated but dispersed uniformly within a continuous polymeric matrix in general comprised of polyvinyl pyrrolidine (PVP) of low molecular weight (10,000 u.m.a.).
- PVP polyvinyl pyrrolidine
- Two-phase systems of this type may be produced with a very high degree of purity, as will be described below.
- Numerous catalytically-active noble metals e.g. Au, Ag, Pd, Pt, Rh, etc.
- Au, Ag, Pd, Pt, Rh, etc. may be produced in the form of a colloidal suspension by reduction of the corresponding ions with alcohols [5-8,23].
- These ions originate from the disassociation of electrolytes (ionic solids) typically consisting of inorganic salts (sulphates and nitrates) or organic salts (acetates).
- electrolytes ionic solids
- inorganic salts sulphates and nitrates
- organic salts acetates
- vicinal diols are usually preferred, since these chemical compounds possess a much greater reducing power than simple alcohols and thus the reduction may also be carried on at ambient temperature.
- the reducing agent is introduced in larger than stoichiometric quantities, since it also acts as organic solvent in which the reaction takes place and is thus also the means of growth of the nanometric solid metallic phase.
- a frequently-used reducing agent is ethylene glycol (1,2-ethanediol). With some metal salts (e.g. AgNO 3 ) the reduction reaction may easily be performed at ambient temperature and consists in dehydration of the glycol with formation of acetaldehyde and subsequent reduction of the metal ion by the acetaldehyde with formation of metallic atoms and molecules of acetylacetal.
- the metal atoms form metallic clusters (aggregations of a small number of metal atoms) once the system exceeds the saturation limit.
- the reduction reaction is carried on in presence of a protective agent whose function is to become adsorbed onto the surface of the metal particles, stabilising the surface and thus preventing particle aggregation, which would otherwise be made possible by their frequent collisions in the reaction environment due to Brownian motion.
- stabilising agents are in general organic molecules able to be adsorbed with varying degree of stability onto the surface of the metal particles so as to comprise an organic coating.
- Polymeric protective agents are particularly valid. Among these, those most frequently used are poly(vinyl pyrrolidone) (PVP) and polyvinyl alcohol (PVA). That is, the same polymers that are used as bonding agents in the sinteration of hyper-fine ceramic powders.
- Ethylene glycol also shows some capability to be adsorbed onto metal surfaces; however, the protective power of this molecule is quite limited and thus inadequate in the presence of high concentrations of particles. Furthermore, the polymeric stabiliser is also able to favour the reduction reaction of the colloidal metal and the phase separation process.
- the metallic nanoparticles may be isolated from the liquid medium in which they are dispersed, for example, through the co-precipitation technique, that is to say precipitation together with the polymeric stabiliser.
- the metal particles are linked to the polymeric stabiliser in a stable fashion through a co-ordination link involving numerous lateral polar groups of the polymer, the particles are completely precipitated together with the polymer by varying the polarity of the liquid dispersing medium.
- the polarity of ethylene glycol may be substantially varied by the addition of acetone.
- the two solvents are miscible in all proportions and successive additions of acetone gradually lower the polarity of the resulting binary mixture. From this liquid phase that gradually becomes less polar, PVP ends up by precipitating, taking with it the metal nanoparticles, which are stably linked to its structure by non-bond interactions.
- phase that coagulates initially consists of a sort of soft semisolid due to the presence of a large quantity of ethylene glycol that plasticises the PVP.
- this material gradually becomes more solid as the last molecules of ethylene glycol diffuse outwards.
- Figures 1 and 2 show the microstructures of two polymeric Ag/PVP nanocomposites obtained starting from different quantities of silver salt.
- Figure 3a shows the XRD diffractogram of the Ag/PVP nanocomposite after drying, whereas figure 3b shows the diffractogram of a metallic silver standard; as may be seen, the metal produced by alcohol reduction of the corresponding salts is crystalline and nanometric (reflection broadening).
- the dried nanocomposite material is then burned in air.
- the process is conducted using a simple quartz kiln (or tubular quartz oven) operating in air flow.
- thermogravimetric balance TGA, TA-Instrument Mod.Q500
- TGA thermogravimetric balance
- Figure 4a shows the TGA thermogram of a specimen of Ag/PVP heated in a flow of nitrogen (pyrolysis).
- decomposition began at 350°C and was practically complete at approximately 470°C, with a single weight loss.
- the residual weight was equal to 16% of the initial mass, and was found to be higher than the value obtained by combustion of the specimen in air under the same heating conditions. This may be attributed to the formation of carbon residue produced by thermal decomposition (pyrolysis) of the polymer.
- the presence of this product of pyrolysis was confirmed by elemental analysis carried out on the residue through an X-ray microprobe (EDS, LINK AN10000) (see Figure 4b ). EDS analysis carried out on the residue showed the presence of elements that constitute the polymeric matrix (PVP), principally carbon and traces of nitrogen, in addition to the signal for silver.
- EDS analysis carried out on the residue showed the presence of elements that constitute the polymeric matrix (PVP), principally carbon and traces of nitrogen, in addition to the signal for silver
- Figure 5a shows the TGA thermogram of the Ag/PVP nanocomposite burned in air under the same conditions. In this case, a double weight loss was observed, respectively centred around 410°C and 490°C. Combustion of the Ag/PVP nanocomposite in air left a residue equal to 4% of the initial mass, suggesting complete decomposition of the polymeric matrix. Indeed, subsequent elemental analysis performed by EDS showed that the residue was exclusively comprised of metallic silver (see figure 5b ).
- FIG. 6a shows the residue of the Ag/PVP specimen burned in nitrogen (pyrolysis).
- the material presents a porous structure, but highly irregular. Particles of silver cannot be distinguished and thus must still be englobed in the carbon matrix generated during pyrolysis.
- Combustion of the nanocomposite in air brought about the formation of a fibrous metallic structure, shown in figures 6a, 6c and 6d .
- the fibres are practically continuous and have a diameter of approximately 2 ⁇ m. Furthermore, they are linked together to produce a network the average size of whose mesh is below 10 ⁇ m in diameter.
- Combustion in air of Ag/PVP nanocomposites having a reduced nanometric metallic load leads to a fibrous-networked structure constituted of metal alone.
