- FIG. 1 schematically shows a construction of a manufacturing apparatus useable for the production of a ceramic powder having an ABO 3 perovskite structure according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention.
- a raw material used for the formation of a ceramic powder having an ABO 3 perovskite structure may be supplied from respective raw feeders 110 , 120 and 130 .
- a compound of an element corresponding to site A (hereinafter, optionally referred to as ‘an A element raw material) may be received in a first raw material feeder 110 and delivered into a reaction pipe through a pump 140 connected to the first raw material feeder 110 .
- the element corresponding to A-site may be an alkali-earth metal or rare-metal element.
- the A element may be, for example, Mg, Ca, Sr, Ba, La, or the like, and two or more elements may be used.
- the A element raw material may be a salt type material including the A element. More particularly, if A element is Ba, an aqueous salt such as barium acetate, barium chloride, barium hydroxide, or the like may be used.
- the salt type material may be received in the first raw material feeder in an aqueous solution state. Except for barium hydroxide, barium acetate or barium chloride may be used after neutralization using an alkaline solution.
- the alkaline solution may be LiOH, NaOH, KOH, NH 4 OH, Ba(OH) 2 , or the like.
- the A element raw material may have a concentration ranging from 0.1 to 2M, without being particularly limited thereto.
- a compound of an element corresponding to site B (hereinafter, optionally referred to as ‘a B element raw material’) may be received in a second raw material feeder 120 and delivered into a reaction pipe through the pump 140 connected to the second raw material feeder 120 .
- the element corresponding to the B-site may be a transition metal, for example, Ti, Zr, or the like, without being particularly limited thereto, and two or more elements may be used.
- the B element raw material may be a salt type material including the B element.
- a titanium salt such as titanium tetrachloride (TiCl 4 ) may be used.
- a zirconium salt such as zirconium oxychloride (ZrOCl 2 ) may be used.
- the salt type material may be received in the second raw material feeder in an aqueous solution state.
- the B element raw material may have a concentration ranging from 0.05 to 2M, without being particularly limited thereto.
- the B element raw material may be a sol type material including the B element.
- a titanium dioxide sol, a zirconium oxalate sol, or the like may be used.
- the B element is a sol type, reactivity may be enhanced to thereby enable the production of a ceramic powder having excellent crystallinity.
- a third raw material feeder 130 may receive distilled water, and the distilled water maybe delivered to the reaction pipe through the pump 140 connected to the third raw material feeder 130 .
- the distilled water supplied to the reaction pipe maybe heated by a first heater 160 to form supercritical water.
- the A element raw material and the B element raw material delivered from the first and second raw material feeders 110 and 120 , respectively, may come into contact with the supercritical water in the reaction pipe and be mixed in a continuous mode. ‘Mixed in a continuous mode’ maybe understood as being a process of mixing these materials while they flow through the reaction pipe.
- a process of mixing the A element raw material and the B element raw material with the supercritical water in a continuous mode may be referred to as a continuous reaction.
- the A element raw material and the B element raw material may be simultaneously mixed with the supercritical water.
- the A element raw material and the B element raw material may react at room temperature and, in this case, seed crystals formed at room temperature may be a factor in preventing further grain growth. Accordingly, the A element raw material and the B element raw material may be mixed together immediately before reacting them with the supercritical water.
- the solubility of the salt is rapidly reduced, which in turn causes rapid precipitation of the A and B elements from the A and B element raw materials, respectively, and considerably increases the potential (or a tendency) to become a ceramic powder having an ABO 3 perovskite structure. Therefore, the seed crystals of the ceramic powder having an ABO 3 perovskite structure are rapidly formed, enabling the formation of seed crystals having high crystallinity.
- the supercritical water passes a subcritical region while being elevated in temperature, seed crystals may be formed in the subcritical region and subjected to grain growth.
- advantageous features of the supercritical water that is, a reduction of defects by the rapid formation of seed crystals, a synthesis of super-microparticles, or the like, may not be embodied therein. Therefore, the A element raw material and the B element raw material may be mixed with the supercritical water in a supercritical region.
- reaction time is relatively short and may range from several to several tens of seconds.
- the reaction time may be varied depending on a length of the reaction pipe and/or a flow rate of the raw material. Without being particularly limited, the reaction time of the continuous reaction may range from 5 seconds to 10 minutes.

- Seed crystals formed by the continuous reaction may have an average particle diameter ranging from 3 to 20 nm. Since the seed crystals are rapidly formed under supercritical conditions, OH defects in the seed crystals may be decreased while crystallinity is increased. A crystal axis ratio (c/a) of the seed crystals may range from 1.001 to 1.004.
- the seed crystals formed by the continuous reaction may be introduced into a batch type reactor 210 through the reaction pipe.
- the batch type reactor 210 may have an impeller 220 mounted therein.

- a precipitate solution is subjected to filtration, followed by washing and drying, thereby resulting in a ceramic powder having a perovskite structure.
- a ceramic powder having a perovskite structure becomes microfine particles, the crystallinity thereof is decreased.

Description
- This application claims the priority of Korean Patent Application No. 10-2011-0018542 filed on Mar. 2, 2011, in the Korean Intellectual Property Office, the disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference.
- 1. Field of the Invention
- The present invention relates to a method of manufacturing a ceramic powder having a perovskite structure and a ceramic powder having a perovskite structure manufactured by the same and, more particularly, to a method of manufacturing a ceramic powder having a perovskite structure with excellent crystalinity and a small average particle diameter and a ceramic powder having a perovskite structure manufactured by the same.
- 2. Description of the Related Art
- Since electrical and electronic equipment industries have recently tended to pursue high performance devices having small, light weight bodies (or devices reduced in weight, thickness, length and size), electronic components are required to have a small size, high performance and low price. Specifically, with the progress of high speed CPUs and reduction in the weight and size, as well as the digitalization and high functionalization of electronic equipment, research and investigation into an embodiment of a multilayer ceramic capacitor (hereinafter, ‘MLCC’) having specific characteristics such as decreased size and thickness, high capacitance, and low impedance in the range of high frequencies have also been actively conducted.
- Perovskite powder used as a dielectric layer of an MLCC is mostly prepared by a solid phase method, co-precipitation, or the like. However, such methods require a calcination process at a high temperature and a grinding (pulverization) process, since a crystalline phase is formed during high temperature calcination, and may have the disadvantage of non-uniform particle size.
- In recent years, in order to provide high capacity and a reduction of a size of an MLCC, a decrease in a thickness of a dielectric layer for constructing the MLCC has been required. However, in a case in which the dielectric layer has a reduced thickness, a surface roughness of the dielectric layer is increased and a ratio of short circuits is also increased when the perovskite powder has a relatively large particle size, causing insulation resistance failure.
- Accordingly, extensive studies into the synthesis of powder using hydrothermal synthesis or hydrolysis of metal alkoxide to produce perovskite powder having excellent characteristics have been conducted.
- Although the hydrothermal synthesis has the merit of enabling direct production of crystalline barium titanate in a spherical form, it entails problems such as difficulties in the designing and management of a reaction pipe and high production costs. Moreover, it has recently been reported that some defects such as oxygen vacancy and/or barium vacancy are present in barium titanate particles prepared by hydrothermal synthesis and may be enlarged to form pores during heat treatment, deteriorating dielectric properties.
- Meanwhile, barium titanate synthesis using the hydrolysis of metal alkoxide has advantages such as higher reactivity than hydrothermal synthesis owing to use of a starting material in a liquid state, the possibility of synthesis at a relatively low temperature, or the like. However, in the case in which an alkoxide reagent is used as a starting material, the material is expensive. Also, since an alcohol solvent is used, processing conditions such as a synthesis temperature are relatively complicated, causing restrictions in the mass-production thereof.

- According to an aspect of the present invention, there is provided a method of manufacturing a ceramic powder having an ABO3 perovskite structure, the method including: mixing a compound of an element corresponding to site A of the structure as well as a compound of an element corresponding to site B of the structure with supercritical water in a continuous mode to form seed crystals; and mixing the seed crystals in a batch mode to conduct grain growth thereof.

Also, a variety of modifications, variations and/or alterations of the exemplary embodiments of the present invention may be possible and the present invention is not particularly restricted to the following embodiments.
-
FIG. 1 schematically shows a construction of a manufacturing apparatus useable for the production of a ceramic powder having an ABO3 perovskite structure according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention. - According to an embodiment of the present invention, a raw material used for the formation of a ceramic powder having an ABO3 perovskite structure may be supplied from respective
raw feeders - In the ABO3 perovskite structure, a compound of an element corresponding to site A (the A-site) (hereinafter, optionally referred to as ‘an A element raw material) may be received in a first
raw material feeder 110 and delivered into a reaction pipe through apump 140 connected to the firstraw material feeder 110. - The element corresponding to A-site (hereinafter, optionally referred to as ‘A element’) may be an alkali-earth metal or rare-metal element. Without particular limitation, more particularly, the A element may be, for example, Mg, Ca, Sr, Ba, La, or the like, and two or more elements may be used.
- The A element raw material may be a salt type material including the A element. More particularly, if A element is Ba, an aqueous salt such as barium acetate, barium chloride, barium hydroxide, or the like may be used. The salt type material may be received in the first raw material feeder in an aqueous solution state. Except for barium hydroxide, barium acetate or barium chloride may be used after neutralization using an alkaline solution. The alkaline solution may be LiOH, NaOH, KOH, NH4OH, Ba(OH)2, or the like.
- The A element raw material may have a concentration ranging from 0.1 to 2M, without being particularly limited thereto.
- In the ABO3 perovskite structure, a compound of an element corresponding to site B (the B-site) (hereinafter, optionally referred to as ‘a B element raw material’) may be received in a second
raw material feeder 120 and delivered into a reaction pipe through thepump 140 connected to the secondraw material feeder 120. - The element corresponding to the B-site (hereinafter, optionally referred to as ‘B element’) may be a transition metal, for example, Ti, Zr, or the like, without being particularly limited thereto, and two or more elements may be used.
- The B element raw material may be a salt type material including the B element. Without being particularly limited, if the B element is Ti, for example, a titanium salt such as titanium tetrachloride (TiCl4) may be used. Alternatively, if the B element is Zr, a zirconium salt such as zirconium oxychloride (ZrOCl2) may be used. The salt type material may be received in the second raw material feeder in an aqueous solution state. The B element raw material may have a concentration ranging from 0.05 to 2M, without being particularly limited thereto.
- Alternatively, the B element raw material may be a sol type material including the B element. Without being particularly limited, for example, a titanium dioxide sol, a zirconium oxalate sol, or the like may be used. When the B element is a sol type, reactivity may be enhanced to thereby enable the production of a ceramic powder having excellent crystallinity.
- A third
raw material feeder 130 may receive distilled water, and the distilled water maybe delivered to the reaction pipe through thepump 140 connected to the thirdraw material feeder 130. The distilled water supplied to the reaction pipe maybe heated by afirst heater 160 to form supercritical water. - The A element raw material and the B element raw material delivered from the first and second
raw material feeders - When the A element raw material and the B element raw material are continuously mixed with the supercritical water, seed crystals are formed.
- The A element raw material and the B element raw material may be simultaneously mixed with the supercritical water. The A element raw material and the B element raw material may react at room temperature and, in this case, seed crystals formed at room temperature may be a factor in preventing further grain growth. Accordingly, the A element raw material and the B element raw material may be mixed together immediately before reacting them with the supercritical water.
- Under the supercritical water condition, the solubility of the salt is rapidly reduced, which in turn causes rapid precipitation of the A and B elements from the A and B element raw materials, respectively, and considerably increases the potential (or a tendency) to become a ceramic powder having an ABO3 perovskite structure. Therefore, the seed crystals of the ceramic powder having an ABO3 perovskite structure are rapidly formed, enabling the formation of seed crystals having high crystallinity.
- When the supercritical water passes a subcritical region while being elevated in temperature, seed crystals may be formed in the subcritical region and subjected to grain growth. In this case, advantageous features of the supercritical water, that is, a reduction of defects by the rapid formation of seed crystals, a synthesis of super-microparticles, or the like, may not be embodied therein. Therefore, the A element raw material and the B element raw material may be mixed with the supercritical water in a supercritical region.
- The foregoing continuous reaction is conducted while flowing the raw materials through the reaction pipe, and a reaction time is relatively short and may range from several to several tens of seconds. The reaction time may be varied depending on a length of the reaction pipe and/or a flow rate of the raw material. Without being particularly limited, the reaction time of the continuous reaction may range from 5 seconds to 10 minutes.
- A temperature of the continuous reaction may be a supercritical temperature, for example, in the range of 300 to 500° C. Also, the continuous reaction may be conducted in an atmosphere ranging from 50 to 300 atms.
- Seed crystals formed by the continuous reaction may have an average particle diameter ranging from 3 to 20 nm. Since the seed crystals are rapidly formed under supercritical conditions, OH defects in the seed crystals may be decreased while crystallinity is increased. A crystal axis ratio (c/a) of the seed crystals may range from 1.001 to 1.004.
- The seed crystals formed by the continuous reaction may be introduced into a
batch type reactor 210 through the reaction pipe. Thebatch type reactor 210 may have animpeller 220 mounted therein. In thebatch type reactor 210, the seed crystals may be agitated for a long time and may be grown to a predetermined particle size by grain growth. Hereinafter, a process of mixing the seed crystals in the batch type reactor for a predetermined period of time may be referred to as a batch type reaction. - With regard to a construction in which a reactive solution flows along to a reaction pipe according to a continuous reaction, it is difficult to ensure sufficient time for grain growth. Therefore, according to an embodiment of the present invention, a reactant obtained from a continuous reaction is introduced into a batch type reactor and the grain growth of the reactant is conducted for a predetermined time in the batch type reactor.
- The
batch type reactor 210 may have asecond heater 230 mounted thereon and a temperature of the batch type reactor may be controlled by thesecond heater 230. - The batch type reaction may be conducted at a temperature ranging from 150 to 300° C.
- The batch type reaction may be conducted for several hours in order to reach a predetermined particle size. Without being particularly limited, a reaction time of the batch type reaction may range from 2 to 100 hours, for example.
- As described above, after completing the grain growth of the seed crystals, a ceramic powder having an ABO3 perovskite structure may be obtained. The obtained ceramic powder having the ABO3 perovskite structure may have an average particle diameter ranging from 50 to 150 nm. By regulating the reaction time and/or the reaction temperature of the batch type reaction, an average particle diameter of a final powder may be controlled.
- According to the foregoing embodiment of the present invention, a final powder maybe formed by conducting the grain growth of seed crystals having excellent crystallinity, therefore, a ceramic powder having high crystallinity may be manufactured without limitation on particle size. Without being particularly limited, for example, a crystal axis ratio (c/a) of the final powder may range from 1.005 to 1.010. More preferably, a crystal axis ratio (c/a) of the final powder ranges from 1.0075 to 1.010.
- After completing the batch type reaction, a precipitate solution is subjected to filtration, followed by washing and drying, thereby resulting in a ceramic powder having a perovskite structure.
- In general, when a ceramic powder having a perovskite structure becomes microfine particles, the crystallinity thereof is decreased. However, according to an embodiment of the present invention, a ceramic powder having a perovskite structure with excellent crystallinity may be obtained while becoming microfine particles.
- The ceramic powder according to an embodiment of the present invention is manufactured by forming seed crystals through a continuous reaction then conducting grain growth of the formed seed crystals through a batch type reaction. Each of the seed crystals may have an average particle diameter ranging form 3 to 20 nm and a crystal axis ratio (c/a) ranging from 1.001 to 1.004. An average particle diameter of a final powder obtained after the grain growth through the batch type reaction may range from 50 to 150 nm and a crystal axis ratio (c/a) thereof may range from 1.005 to 1.010.
- The types or kinds of the ceramic powder having the ABO3 perovskite structure according to an embodiment of the present invention may be varied, depending on the A element raw material and the B element raw material, without particular limitation. For example, the ceramic powder may be BaTiO3, (BaCa)TiO3, (BaCa)(TiZr)O3, Ba(TiZr)O3, CaTiO3, Ca(TiZr)O3, or the like.
- The ceramic powder having the ABO3 perovskite structure manufactured by an embodiment of the present invention may be used as a dielectric layer of an MLCC. Since the ceramic powder having the ABO3 perovskite structure according to the embodiment of the present invention has a small average particle diameter and exhibits excellent crystallinity, the ceramic powder may form a thin dielectric layer. Accordingly, the surface roughness of the dielectric layer is decreased, thereby reducing short occurrence while enhancing electrical properties such as insulation resistance, or the like.
- Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the following examples and comparative examples. However, these embodiments are proposed only to provide a more concrete understanding of the present invention, and the present invention is not particularly limited thereto.
