Description

本発明は、主にエレクトロニクスの分野において使用されるニッケルナノ粒子とその製造方法、およびニッケルペーストに関する。   The present invention relates to nickel nanoparticles mainly used in the field of electronics, a method for producing the same, and nickel paste.

近年、エレクトロニクスの分野では電子機器の小型化・高性能化に伴い、使用される金属材料も微小化が求められている。例えば、積層セラミックコンデンサーの内部電極層に使用されているニッケル粒子の粒径は、現状では200〜400nm程度であるが、内部電極層の薄膜化に伴いより微小化し、将来的には粒径が100nm以下のニッケル粒子が使用されると考えられる。
従来の技術において、粒径100nm以下のニッケル粒子については、以下のような製造方法が提案されている。
In recent years, in the field of electronics, with the miniaturization and high performance of electronic devices, metal materials used are also required to be miniaturized. For example, the particle size of nickel particles used in the internal electrode layer of a multilayer ceramic capacitor is about 200 to 400 nm at present, but the particle size becomes smaller as the internal electrode layer becomes thinner, and in the future the particle size will become smaller. It is thought that nickel particles of 100 nm or less are used.
In the prior art, the following manufacturing methods have been proposed for nickel particles having a particle size of 100 nm or less.

特許文献1には、ニッケル塩を高温で気化させた後、当該気化したニッケル塩を気相中においてHガスにより還元する方法が記載されている。そして、平均粒径50〜300nmの一次粒子が得られた旨の記載がある。 Patent Document 1 describes a method in which a nickel salt is vaporized at a high temperature and then the vaporized nickel salt is reduced with H 2 gas in a gas phase. There is a description that primary particles having an average particle diameter of 50 to 300 nm were obtained.

特許文献2には、水、エタノール、トルエンなどのエマルジョン液相中に、ニッケル塩とポリビニルピロリドン(PVP)などの保護剤・添加剤と呼ばれる有機物とを添加した後、ヒドラジンを添加してニッケル−ヒドラジン錯体を生成させ、この錯体を含む溶液にNaBHを添加し、錯体を還元させることで、ポリマー保護ニッケル超微粒子を作製する方法が記載されている。そして、平均粒子径100nm以下のニッケル微粒子が得られた旨の記載がある。 In Patent Document 2, a nickel salt and an organic substance called a protective agent / additive such as polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) are added to an emulsion liquid phase such as water, ethanol, toluene, etc., and then hydrazine is added to add nickel- It describes a method for producing polymer-protected nickel ultrafine particles by forming a hydrazine complex, adding NaBH 4 to a solution containing the complex, and reducing the complex. There is a description that nickel fine particles having an average particle diameter of 100 nm or less were obtained.

特許文献3には、ギ酸ニッケル二水和物と、脂肪族アミンなどのルイス塩基と、溶媒とを含む溶液を加熱することにより、微粒子ニッケル粉を作製する方法が記載されている。そして、平均粒子径100nm以下で、かつ、粒子径の分布の狭い均一なニッケル粒子が得られた旨の記載がある。   Patent Document 3 describes a method of producing fine nickel powder by heating a solution containing nickel formate dihydrate, a Lewis base such as an aliphatic amine, and a solvent. There is a description that uniform nickel particles having an average particle size of 100 nm or less and a narrow particle size distribution were obtained.

特開2004−292950号公報JP 2004-292950 A 特開2011−122248号公報JP 2011-122248 A 特開2010−64983号公報JP 2010-64983 A

しかしながら、本発明者らの検討によれば、特許文献1に記載の方法は、気相法による製造法であるため、特別な製造装置が必要となり製造コストが高くなるという問題がある。さらに、気相法による製造方法においては1,000℃以上の高温条件による還元工程があるため、粒径100nm以下の粒子を製造する為には分級工程が必要である。この為、粒径100nm以下の粒子製造においては、歩留まりが非常に悪くなり不向きである。   However, according to the study by the present inventors, the method described in Patent Document 1 is a manufacturing method by a gas phase method, and thus there is a problem that a special manufacturing apparatus is required and the manufacturing cost increases. Furthermore, in the production method by the vapor phase method, there is a reduction step under a high temperature condition of 1,000 ° C. or higher, and therefore a classification step is necessary to produce particles having a particle size of 100 nm or less. For this reason, in the production of particles having a particle size of 100 nm or less, the yield is very poor and is not suitable.

また、特許文献2に記載の方法は、ニッケル−ヒドラジン錯体からニッケル粉を作成するものである。そして、製造するニッケル粒子の粒径を制御するため、保護剤または分散剤としてポリビニルピロリドン(PVP)などの有機物を使用することが必須となっており、製造された粒子には3〜10質量%程度の有機物が付着している。この為、後工程において、当該有機物(保護剤または分散剤)を除去するための有機洗浄工程が必要となり、製造コストが高くなるという問題がある。また製造した粒子をペーストやインクの原料として使用する際、焼成時に有機物の分解による体積収縮が大きくなると同時に、有機物が残留した際には電気抵抗率を悪化させる要因となってしまう。   Moreover, the method of patent document 2 produces nickel powder from a nickel-hydrazine complex. And in order to control the particle diameter of the nickel particle to manufacture, it is essential to use organic substances, such as polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP), as a protective agent or a dispersing agent, and 3-10 mass% is manufactured to the manufactured particle. Some organic matter is attached. For this reason, an organic washing process for removing the said organic substance (protective agent or dispersing agent) is needed in a post process, and there exists a problem that manufacturing cost becomes high. In addition, when the produced particles are used as a raw material for pastes and inks, volume shrinkage due to decomposition of the organic matter is increased during firing, and at the same time, when the organic matter remains, the electrical resistivity is deteriorated.

また、特許文献3に記載の方法も特許文献2と同様に、製造するニッケル粉の粒径を制御するため、表面修飾剤として有機物を使用することが必須となっており、特許文献2と同様の課題がある。さらに、反応温度の制御方法として、マイクロ波の照射を行うため、バッチアップ製造が出来にくく、生産性が低い製造方法となっている。   In addition, the method described in Patent Document 3 also requires the use of an organic substance as a surface modifier in order to control the particle size of the nickel powder to be manufactured, as in Patent Document 2, and is similar to Patent Document 2. There is a problem. Furthermore, as a method for controlling the reaction temperature, since microwave irradiation is performed, it is difficult to perform batch-up production and the production method is low.

本発明は、上述の状況の下で為されたものであり、その解決しようとする課題は、気相法を採ることなく、また粒径制御を目的とした保護剤または分散剤や、表面修飾剤を使用することなく、平均粒径100nm以下のニッケル粒子粉を低コストで高い生産性を保ちながら製造出来る、ニッケルナノ粒子とその製造方法、および当該ニッケルナノ粒子を用いたニッケルペーストを提供することである。   The present invention has been made under the above-mentioned circumstances, and the problem to be solved is a protective agent or a dispersant for the purpose of controlling the particle size without adopting a gas phase method, and surface modification. Provided is a nickel nanoparticle, a method for producing the same, and a nickel paste using the nickel nanoparticle, which can produce nickel particle powder having an average particle size of 100 nm or less at a low cost without using an agent. That is.

As a result, first, a nickel-hydrazine complex is produced from a nickel compound and a hydrazine compound, the produced complex is solid-liquid separated, and washing and drying steps are performed. And removing the unreacted hydrazine remaining in the produced complex, and then conceiving a production method for producing nickel nanoparticles by adding an alkaline solution to a liquid containing the nickel-hydrazine complex. completed.

It has a dispersion | distribution process and the manufacturing process of nickel nanoparticle.
Hereinafter, the above-mentioned steps and the properties and characteristics of the manufactured nickel nanoparticles will be described.

(ニッケル−ヒドラジン錯体の製造工程)
ニッケル−ヒドラジン錯体を製造する工程である。
まず、ニッケル塩の水溶液を準備する。ニッケル塩としては、塩化ニッケル、硫酸ニッケル、酢酸ニッケルなどから選択される1種類以上用いることが出来るが、原料コストや作業性の観点から塩化ニッケルまたは硫酸ニッケルが好ましい。
ニッケル塩水溶液の濃度は、0.1〜3.0モル/Lが好ましい。0.1モル/L以上であれば生産性が良く、3.0モル/L以下であれば、製造した錯体の凝集が回避出来る。
(Nickel-hydrazine complex production process)
This is a process for producing a nickel-hydrazine complex.
First, an aqueous solution of nickel salt is prepared. As the nickel salt, one or more selected from nickel chloride, nickel sulfate, nickel acetate and the like can be used, but nickel chloride or nickel sulfate is preferred from the viewpoint of raw material cost and workability.
The concentration of the nickel salt aqueous solution is preferably 0.1 to 3.0 mol / L. If it is 0.1 mol / L or more, productivity is good, and if it is 3.0 mol / L or less, aggregation of the produced complex can be avoided.

他方、ニッケル−ヒドラジン錯体形成の為の溶媒を準備する。
溶媒として、濃度が40〜80質量%のヒドラジン水溶液を準備する。ヒドラジン水溶液の濃度が40質量%以上であれば反応が効率良く進行し、80質量%以下であれば操作上の安全面から好ましいからである。
ヒドラジン原料としては、ヒドラジン、ヒドラジン水和物(80質量%)、ヒドラジン塩化物を用いることが出来るが、安全面の観点からヒドラジン水和物が好ましい。
溶媒へのヒドラジンの添加量は、当該ヒドラジン水溶液に添加されるニッケル1モルに対して、当量を超えた過剰量である2.0〜12モル、好ましくは2.5〜12モルとする。当該ヒドラジン水溶液中に、ニッケル1モルに対してヒドラジンが2.0モル以上であれば、未反応のニッケルが生ぜず、ヒドラジンが12モル以下であれば効率が保てるからである。
準備した溶媒を、大気下、N、Arなどの不活性ガス雰囲気下、好ましくはN雰囲気下に置き、撹拌羽を用いて700rpm以下で撹拌しながら30〜60℃、好ましくは40℃〜60℃に加温する。
On the other hand, a solvent for forming a nickel-hydrazine complex is prepared.
A hydrazine aqueous solution having a concentration of 40 to 80% by mass is prepared as a solvent. This is because the reaction proceeds efficiently when the concentration of the hydrazine aqueous solution is 40% by mass or more, and preferably 80% by mass or less from the viewpoint of operational safety.
As the hydrazine raw material, hydrazine, hydrazine hydrate (80% by mass), and hydrazine chloride can be used, but hydrazine hydrate is preferable from the viewpoint of safety.
The amount of hydrazine added to the solvent is 2.0 to 12 mol, preferably 2.5 to 12 mol, which is an excess amount exceeding the equivalent with respect to 1 mol of nickel added to the hydrazine aqueous solution. This is because in the hydrazine aqueous solution, if hydrazine is 2.0 mol or more with respect to 1 mol of nickel, no unreacted nickel is produced, and if hydrazine is 12 mol or less, efficiency can be maintained.
The prepared solvent is placed in the atmosphere, under an inert gas atmosphere such as N 2 or Ar, preferably in an N 2 atmosphere, and is stirred at 700 rpm or less using a stirring blade at 30 to 60 ° C., preferably 40 ° C. to Warm to 60 ° C.

前記調温された溶媒へ、前記ニッケル塩水溶液を1g/min以上の添加速度で連続添加する。尚、当該添加時間が30分間〜1時間以内になる添加速度で添加するのが好ましい。尚、当該添加方法は、上述したように、ヒドラジン水溶液へニッケル塩水溶液を連続添加する方法が好ましいが、ニッケル塩水溶液へヒドラジン水溶液を連続添加することも出来る。
当該添加中の溶媒の液温は20〜60℃、好ましくは20〜30℃とする。
生成するニッケル−ヒドラジン錯体は[Ni(N]Cl、[Ni(N]Clと考えられる。ニッケル−ヒドラジン錯体の形状は殆ど球状となるが、楕円状、針状でもよい。
The nickel salt aqueous solution is continuously added to the temperature-controlled solvent at an addition rate of 1 g / min or more. In addition, it is preferable to add at the addition speed | rate which the said addition time will be within 30 minutes-1 hour. As described above, the addition method is preferably a method in which the nickel salt aqueous solution is continuously added to the hydrazine aqueous solution, but the hydrazine aqueous solution can also be continuously added to the nickel salt aqueous solution.
The liquid temperature of the solvent during the addition is 20 to 60 ° C, preferably 20 to 30 ° C.
The produced nickel-hydrazine complex is considered to be [Ni (N 2 H 4 ) 3 ] Cl 2 , [Ni (N 2 H 4 ) 2 ] Cl 2 . The shape of the nickel-hydrazine complex is almost spherical, but may be oval or needle-shaped.

(ニッケル−ヒドラジン錯体の分離工程)
製造したニッケル−ヒドラジン錯体を、溶液から固液分離する。
具体的には、製造したニッケル−ヒドラジン錯体を、加圧ろ過、吸引ろ過、フィルタープレス等を用いて溶液から分離する。この際、分離された固形物(ニッケル−ヒドラジン錯体)の厚みがあることが望ましい。洗浄において通水する際に短時間でも保水させ、ヒドラジンを分散、分離するためである。例えば、最も薄い箇所でも1mm以上、最も厚い箇所でも30mm以下となるように分離装置、または錯体量を調整することが好ましい。後工程のニッケル−ヒドラジン錯体の洗浄工程において、保水性と通水性とのバランスが図れることで固形物内部のヒドラジンの残留をなくすことができるからである。
(Nickel-hydrazine complex separation step)
The produced nickel-hydrazine complex is solid-liquid separated from the solution.
Specifically, the produced nickel-hydrazine complex is separated from the solution using pressure filtration, suction filtration, filter press, or the like. At this time, it is desirable that the separated solid (nickel-hydrazine complex) has a thickness. This is because the hydrazine is dispersed and separated by allowing water to be retained even for a short time when passing water in the washing. For example, it is preferable to adjust the separation device or the complex amount so that the thinnest portion is 1 mm or more and the thickest portion is 30 mm or less. This is because in the subsequent step of washing the nickel-hydrazine complex, the balance between water retention and water permeability can be achieved, so that hydrazine residue in the solid can be eliminated.

(ニッケル−ヒドラジン錯体の洗浄工程)
固液分離した固形物(ニッケル−ヒドラジン錯体)を洗浄する。
具体的には、上記固液分離して得られた2mm〜5mmの厚みを有する固形物へ、洗浄溶媒を通過させることで洗浄するのが好ましい。洗浄溶媒には純水、エタノール、イソプロピルアルコール、アセトン、またはこれらの混合溶媒を用いることができるが、コスト、生産性の観点から純水が最も好ましい。
このように固形物(ニッケル−ヒドラジン錯体)を定置し、通水することで固形物内にある未反応ヒドラジンを好適に洗い出すことができる。
(Nickel-hydrazine complex washing process)
The solid substance (nickel-hydrazine complex) separated by solid-liquid separation is washed.
Specifically, it is preferable to perform washing by passing a washing solvent through a solid material having a thickness of 2 mm to 5 mm obtained by solid-liquid separation. As the cleaning solvent, pure water, ethanol, isopropyl alcohol, acetone, or a mixed solvent thereof can be used, but pure water is most preferable from the viewpoint of cost and productivity.
In this way, the unreacted hydrazine in the solid can be suitably washed out by placing the solid (nickel-hydrazine complex) and passing water.

前記洗浄により、固形物(ニッケル−ヒドラジン錯体)中に残留する未反応ヒドラジンを除去することができる。しかし、固形物中に残留する未反応ヒドラジンの量は、直接、分析することができない。本発明者らは、洗浄後の洗浄液の酸化還元電位をパラメーターとして、固形物中に残留する未反応ヒドラジンの量を推定することに想到した。具体的には、洗浄後の洗浄液の酸化還元電位が低い(マイナス数字が大きい)ほど、固形物中に残留する未反応ヒドラジン量が多いこととなる。   The unreacted hydrazine remaining in the solid (nickel-hydrazine complex) can be removed by the washing. However, the amount of unreacted hydrazine remaining in the solid cannot be analyzed directly. The present inventors have conceived that the amount of unreacted hydrazine remaining in the solid matter is estimated using the oxidation-reduction potential of the washing solution after washing as a parameter. Specifically, the lower the redox potential of the cleaning liquid after cleaning (the larger the negative number), the greater the amount of unreacted hydrazine remaining in the solid.

一方、固形物(ニッケル−ヒドラジン錯体)を洗浄する洗浄溶媒量は、固形分量に対して2〜3倍量を用いることが好ましい。これは、洗浄溶媒量が固形分量の3倍量以下であれば、当該洗浄に伴うニッケル−ヒドラジン錯体の分解を最小限にすることができるからである。   On the other hand, the amount of the washing solvent for washing the solid (nickel-hydrazine complex) is preferably 2 to 3 times the solid content. This is because if the amount of the washing solvent is not more than 3 times the amount of the solid content, the decomposition of the nickel-hydrazine complex accompanying the washing can be minimized.

所定量の洗浄溶媒で固形物(ニッケル−ヒドラジン錯体)を洗浄した後、固形物に500mLの純水を通過させ、その通過水の酸化還元電位を測定する。このとき、通過水の酸化還元電位が−700mV以上、好ましくは−650mV以上(尚、純水の酸化還元電位は+200mVである。)であることが好ましい。通過水の酸化還元電位が−700mV未満の場合は、固形物中に未反応のヒドラジンが残留していると考えられる。当該洗浄は、通過水の酸化還元電位が−700mV以上、好ましくは−650mV以上となる迄、継続する。   After washing the solid (nickel-hydrazine complex) with a predetermined amount of washing solvent, 500 mL of pure water is passed through the solid and the redox potential of the passing water is measured. At this time, the redox potential of the passing water is −700 mV or higher, preferably −650 mV or higher (note that the redox potential of pure water is +200 mV). When the redox potential of the passing water is less than −700 mV, it is considered that unreacted hydrazine remains in the solid. The washing is continued until the redox potential of the passing water becomes −700 mV or more, preferably −650 mV or more.

(ニッケル−ヒドラジン錯体の乾燥工程)
洗浄を終了した固形物(ニッケル−ヒドラジン錯体)を乾燥させる。
具体的には、上記洗浄を終了した固形物を回収し、乾燥装置にて乾燥させる。乾燥装置はN雰囲気下の乾燥機、減圧乾燥機が使用できるが、減圧乾燥機が好ましい。乾燥させる際には固形物をできるだけ細かく粉砕し、その厚みが、できるだけ薄くなるように広げておくことが好ましい。こうすることで水分が蒸発しやすくなる。固形物の乾燥条件は、乾燥温度は30℃以下、減圧度は0.05MPa以下が好ましい。減圧時にはNガスを流して乾燥を促進させることも可能である。乾燥させた固形物中の水分量が2%以下となる迄、実施することが望ましい。固形物中の水分量が2%以下であれば、ニッケル−ヒドラジン錯体の凝集が起こらないと同時に、ニッケル−ヒドラジン錯体の分解も抑制することが可能である。

As the drying apparatus, a dryer under a N 2 atmosphere or a vacuum dryer can be used, but a vacuum dryer is preferable. When drying, it is preferable to pulverize the solid as finely as possible and spread it so that its thickness is as thin as possible. By doing so, moisture easily evaporates. As for the drying conditions of the solid material, the drying temperature is preferably 30 ° C. or lower, and the degree of vacuum is preferably 0.05 MPa or lower. It is also possible to promote drying by flowing N 2 gas during decompression. It is desirable to carry out until the moisture content in the dried solid is 2% or less.

The temperature rise time of the dispersion is, for example, within 60 minutes, preferably within 30 minutes, more preferably within 15 minutes if the temperature is raised to 40 ° C to 60 ° C. This is because the nickel-hydrazine complex is stable when the temperature rise time from 40 ° C. to 60 ° C. in the dispersion is within 60 minutes.
