Definitions
- the present invention relates to silicon coated metal microparticles, silicon compound coated metal microparticles, and a production method thereof.
- Metal microparticles are materials that are widely used as a magnetic material, conductive material, coloring material, catalysts, etc. Particularly, when they are microparticles of 1 ⁇ m or less, their properties are improved, and a suitable composition can be made when used as a dispersion or the like. However, it has been difficult to utilize the characteristics as metal microparticles at the maximum, because in any applications, accompanying the characteristics generated or improved by micronization of metal microparticles, explosive reactions due to rapid oxidation in the atmosphere tend to occur, and the expected characteristics as metal microparticles tend to be lost due to oxidation, hydroxylation, etc. by contact with moisture.

- a method of preparing silica coated metal microparticles such as silica coated aluminum by introducing a silicon compound such as tetraethoxysilane into a metal microparticle dispersion as described in Patent Literature 3 has become the mainstream.

Abstract
Description
- The present invention relates to silicon coated metal microparticles, silicon compound coated metal microparticles, and a production method thereof.
- Metal microparticles are materials that are widely used as a magnetic material, conductive material, coloring material, catalysts, etc. Particularly, when they are microparticles of 1 μm or less, their properties are improved, and a suitable composition can be made when used as a dispersion or the like. However, it has been difficult to utilize the characteristics as metal microparticles at the maximum, because in any applications, accompanying the characteristics generated or improved by micronization of metal microparticles, explosive reactions due to rapid oxidation in the atmosphere tend to occur, and the expected characteristics as metal microparticles tend to be lost due to oxidation, hydroxylation, etc. by contact with moisture.
- In order to solve these problems, it is effective to coat a surface of metal microparticles with a silicon compound such as silica as described in Patent Literatures 1 and 2. However, a method such as a sputtering method or an evaporation method as described in Patent Literature 1 requires a very high energy and a high vacuum, so that a cost tends to be high. Also, the silicon compound coated metal particles of 30 μm or more as described in Patent Literature 2, do not have the characteristics particularly expected as metal nanoparticles micronized to 1 μm or less.
- A method of preparing silica coated metal microparticles such as silica coated aluminum by introducing a silicon compound such as tetraethoxysilane into a metal microparticle dispersion as described in
Patent Literature 3 has become the mainstream. However, a base metal such as aluminum are particularly susceptible to oxidation, and in particular, it is difficult to maintain the metal state from the surface to the inside, in the case of base metal microparticles of 1 μm or less. Therefore, even in silicon compound coated metal microparticles prepared by a method of coating with a silicon compound in a liquid, it was difficult to obtain the characteristics expected as metal nanoparticles micronized to 1 μm or less. - Patent Literature 4 filed by the present applicant discloses a method of producing uniform metal microparticles by using a method of precipitating various nanoparticles of metal microparticles, magnetic material microparticles or the like between two processing surfaces being capable of approaching to and separating from each other and rotating relative to each other. However, although Patent Literature 4 describes the production of uniform metal microparticles, Patent Literature 4 does not describe about silicon compound coated metal microparticles, or naturally a production method thereof. Namely, a method for producing silicon compound coated metal microparticles has not been described, and thus, silicon compound coated metal microparticles and a production method thereof have been desired, which can be stably supplied with good cost competitiveness.

Particularly in the case of minute particles of 1 μm or less, the influence of atoms on the surface becomes significant, so it is necessary to precisely control the surface compounds. An object of the present invention is to control a particle diameter of the silicon compound coated metal microparticles, for the purpose of controlling the surface compounds of the metal microparticles and maximizing the expected characteristics and compensating for such characteristics. Another object of the present invention is to provide various compositions using silicon compound coated metal microparticles whose particle diameter is controlled.

An organic compound includes a metal element alkoxide, a metalloid element alkoxide, and the like. These metal element compound or metalloid element compound may alone constitute the precursor microparticles, or a mixture of a plurality of these compounds may constitute the same. Materials similar to various compounds constituting the precursor microparticles can be used as a raw material of the precursor microparticles, but a simple substance of a metal or metalloid can also be used as a raw material of the precursor microparticles. However, a simple substance of a metal or metalloid may be contained in the precursor microparticles to the extent that the substance does not affect the present invention. In the present invention, the raw material of the precursor microparticles can be performed as long as the raw material of the precursor microparticles becomes precursor microparticles by a method such as a reaction, crystallization, precipitation, coprecipitation and the like, and silicon compound coated precursor microparticles are prepared by coating with a silicon compound, or silicon doped precursor microparticles are prepared by containing silicon in the precursor microparticles. In the present invention, silicon coated metal microparticles or silicon compound coated metal microparticles can be obtained by subjecting the silicon compound coated precursor microparticles or the silicon doped precursor microparticles to a reduction treatment. Therefore, by containing two or more different elements of metal elements or metalloid elements in the precursor microparticles, silicon coated metal microparticles or silicon compound coated metal microparticles can be prepared as silicon coated alloy microparticles or silicon compound coated alloy microparticles.

Even when each raw material is a liquid or gas, it is preferable to use it in a state of being mixed or dissolved in a solvent described below, including a dispersion state.
- A precursor precipitation substance is not particularly limited as long as the substance can make a raw material of the silicon compound coated precursor microparticles or silicon doped precursor microparticles contained in a precursor raw material liquid be precipitated as silicon compound coated precursor microparticles or silicon doped precursor microparticles. For example, an acidic substance or a basic substance may be used. A basic substance includes a metal hydroxide such as sodium hydroxide and potassium hydroxide, a metal alkoxide such as sodium methoxide and sodium isopropoxide, an amine compound such as triethylamine, diethylaminoethanol and diethylamine, ammonia and the like. In addition, for example, in the case where sodium chloride as a raw material of a precursor is dissolved in water and mixed with an alcohol or the like to precipitate sodium chloride microparticles as precursor microparticles, the alcohol may also act as a solvent, or as a precursor precipitation substance.
- An acidic substance includes an inorganic acid such as aqua regia, hydrochloric acid, nitric acid, fuming nitric acid, sulfuric acid, fuming sulfuric acid, and an organic acid such as formic acid, acetic acid, chloroacetic acid, dichloroacetic acid, oxalic acid, trifluoroacetic acid, trichloroacetic acid, citric acid and the like. The basic substance and the acidic substance can also be used for precipitating silicon compound coated precursor microparticles or a compound for coating.

In addition, the surfactant and dispersing agent may be contained in another fluid different from the precursor raw material liquid and precursor precipitation solvent.
- (Method of Producing Silicon Compound Coated Precursor Microparticles: Preferable Method)
- In the step of coating at least a part of a surface of the precursor microparticles with a silicon compound, it is preferable to coat with the silicon compound before the precursor microparticles aggregate. When a silicon compound raw material liquid is mixed with a fluid containing the precursor microparticles, it is important that after precipitating the precursor microparticles, the silicon compound precipitates on the surface of the precursor microparticles by adding the silicon compound raw material liquid at a rate faster than aggregation occurs. Furthermore, by introducing the silicon compound raw material liquid into the fluid containing the precursor microparticles, pH of the fluid containing the precursor microparticles and a concentration of the silicon compound raw material gradually change. If the silicon compound for coating the surface of the particles precipitates after an easily dispersible state is changed to an easily aggregating state, there is a possibility that it becomes difficult to coat before aggregation and the characteristics of the present invention cannot be exhibited. It is preferable to actuate the silicon compound raw material contained in the silicon compound raw material liquid immediately after the precursor microparticles precipitate. It is preferable to obtain silicon compound coated precursor microparticles by a method of precipitating precursor microparticles between two processing surfaces being capable of approaching to and separating from each other and rotating relative to each other as described in Patent Literature 4, and continuously coating a surface of the precursor microparticles with a silicon compound. There are advantages that for example, a particle diameter, crystallinity, and a ratio of Si—OH bonds or a ratio of Si—OH bonds/Si—O bonds contained in the silicon compound coated precursor microparticles or the silicon doped precursor microparticles can be controlled, by changing a temperature, pH, and formulation condition at the time of obtaining the silicon compound coated precursor microparticles; and that a reduction state and reduction rate to the silicon coated metal microparticles or silicon compound coated metal microparticles described later.
- (Method of Producing Silicon Compound Coated Precursor Microparticles: Apparatus)
- A method of producing the silicon compound coated precursor microparticles or the silicon doped precursor microparticles of the present invention includes, for example, a method of producing the silicon compound coated precursor microparticles by using a microreactor, or by a reaction in a dilute system in a batch vessel or the like, and the like. The apparatus and method as proposed by the present applicant and described in JP 2009-112892 may be also used for producing the silicon compound coated precursor microparticles. The apparatus described in JP 2009-112892 comprises a stirring tank having an inner peripheral surface which cross-section is circular, and a mixing tool attached to the stirring tank with a slight gap to the inner peripheral surface of the stirring tank, wherein the stirring tank comprises at least two fluid inlets and at least one fluid outlet; from one of the fluid inlets, the first fluid to be processed containing one of the reactants among the fluids to be processed is introduced into the stirring tank; from one fluid inlet other than the above inlet, the second fluid to be processed containing one of reactants different from the above reactant is introduced into the stirring tank through a different flow path; at least one of the stirring tank and the mixing tool rotates at a high speed relative to the other to let the above fluids be in a state of a thin film; and in the above thin film, the reactants contained in the first and second fluids to be processed are reacted. JP 2009-112892 further describes that three or more inlet tubes may be provided as shown in
FIGS. 4 and 5 to introduce three or more fluids to be processed into the stirring tank. As an example of the microreactor, an apparatus using the same principle as the fluid processing apparatus described in Patent Literature 4 can be used. Alternatively, precursor microparticles may be prepared by using a pulverization method such as a beads mill and the like, and then a process of coating precursor microparticles with a silicon compound may be performed in a reaction vessel or the microreactor described above or the like. - The silicon compound coated metal microparticles of the present invention can be obtained by treating the silicon compound coated precursor microparticles or the silicon doped precursor microparticles under a reduction atmosphere. The microparticles can be specifically obtained by a method of preparing silicon compound coated precursor microparticles in which at least a part of a surface of a precursor microparticle containing a precursor of the metal microparticles is coated with a silicon compound, or silicon doped precursor microparticles containing a precursor of the metal microparticles; and subjecting the silicon compound coated precursor microparticles or the silicon doped precursor microparticles to a reduction treatment under a reduction atmosphere. Reduction to silicon coated iron microparticles or silicon compound coated iron microparticles can be performed, for example, by a heat treatment of silicon compound coated precursor microparticles such as silicon compound coated iron oxide particles under a hydrogen atmosphere of a reduction atmosphere. In addition, the silicon compound coated precursor microparticles can be reduced to the silicon coated metal microparticles by treating the silicon compound coated precursor microparticles under a reduction atmosphere, and thereafter the silicon can be converted to a silicon compound such as a silicon oxide by a treatment under an oxidation atmosphere such as the atmosphere, whereby the silicon coated metal microparticles can be converted to the silicon compound coated metal microparticles. A reduction treatment of the silicon compound coated precursor microparticles or the silicon doped precursor microparticles under a reduction atmosphere, includes a method of reducing powders of the silicon compound coated precursor microparticles or the silicon doped precursor microparticles in a furnace under a reduction atmosphere such as hydrogen, ammonia, hydrogen sulfide, sulfur dioxide, nitrogen monoxide and the like. An oxidation gas for oxidizing the silicon coated metal microparticles includes an oxidation gas such as oxygen, ozone, nitrogen dioxide, the atmosphere and the like.
- As described above, the silicon compound coated metal microparticles of the present invention can also be obtained by treating the silicon doped precursor microparticles containing silicon in the precursor microparticles under a reduction atmosphere. For example, silicon alloy particles can be obtained by a heat treatment of silicon doped precursor microparticles containing silicon and a metal or metalloid element M under a reduction atmosphere to make all of silicon and a metal or metalloid element M be reduced. Next, the silicon compound coated metal microparticles or the silicon compound coated silicon alloy particles can be produced by treating the obtained silicon alloy particles under an oxidation atmosphere such as the atmosphere to oxidize the silicon contained on the surface of the silicon alloy particles into a silicon compound such as a silicon oxide.
- The inventors of the present invention have found that the silicon contained in the precursor microparticles moves from the inside to the outside of the particles by a heat treatment under a reduction atmosphere. The inventors have also found that even in the case that particles are fused to each other, the fused part between the particles can be brought into a state that silicon and a silicon compound are reduced and are not contained in the fused part, and a surface of the particles having particle diameters more increased by fusion than before the heat treatment can be brought into a state of being coated with a silicon compound. The metal microparticles contain silicon inside before being subjected to a heat treatment under a reduction atmosphere, and in these method, at least a part of the silicon is transferred from the inside of the metal microparticles to the outer peripheral direction, as compared with before the heat treatment under a reduction atmosphere, to form the silicon compound coated metal microparticles, which are advantageous in that the precursor particles reduction or the particle diameter control and the silicon compound coating can be performed respectively simultaneously. However, the present invention is not limited to the simultaneous reduction, particle diameter control and silicon compound coating. In addition, for example, when the silicon compound coated metal microparticles of the present invention are used as a wiring material of a conductive material or the like, a conductive wiring is formed by the metal element contained in the silicon compound coated metal microparticles, and at the same time, the outer peripheral part of the wiring can be coated with the silicon compound. Therefore, there is an advantage that the metal forming the wiring can be protected from moisture or from oxidation by the silicon compound at the outer peripheral part of the wiring. In the present invention, the reduction treatment of the silicon compound coated precursor microparticles or the silicon doped precursor microparticles may be performed by a dry method or a wet method.
- In the case of obtaining silicon compound coated metal microparticles by reduction of silicon compound coated precursor microparticles or silicon doped precursor microparticles, a particle diameter of the precursor microparticles in the silicon compound coated precursor microparticles is preferably 100 nm or less, and a particle diameter of the silicon doped precursor microparticles is preferably 100 nm or less. The microparticles being 100 nm or less respectively are advantageous, not only in that the uniform reduction treatment to prepare the silicon compound coated metal microparticles is enabled, but also in that even a base metal can be reduced to produce metal microparticles though conventionally only a method such as electric reduction using large energy such as electricity can reduce a base metal.
- In the silicon compound coated precursor microparticles of the present invention, it is preferable that the average primary particle diameter of the silicon compound coated precursor microparticles is 100.5% or more and 190% or less relative to the average primary particle diameter of the precursor microparticles before coating by the silicon compound. When the silicon compound coating on the precursor microparticles is too thin, the particle diameter of the silicon compound coated metal microparticles may become coarse easily upon reduction to form the silicon compound coated metal microparticles. Thus, it is preferable that the average primary particle diameter of the silicon compound coated metal microparticles is not less than 100.5% relative to the average primary particle diameter of the metal microparticles. When the coating is too thick, or when a coarse aggregate is coated, control of reduction of the precursor is difficult. Thus, it is preferable that the average primary particle diameter of the silicon compound coated metal microparticles is not more than 190% relative to the average primary particle diameter of the metal microparticles. The silicon compound coated metal microparticles of the present invention may be core/shell type silicon compound coated metal microparticles in which the entire surface of the core metal microparticle is uniformly coated with the silicon compound. The silicon compound coated precursor microparticles are preferably silicon compound coated precursor microparticles in which a plurality of the precursor microparticles are not aggregated and at least a part of a surface of a single precursor microparticle is coated with the silicon compound. But, the silicon compound coated precursor microparticles may be silicon compound coated precursor microparticles in which at least a part of a surface of an aggregate in which a plurality of precursor microparticles are aggregated, is coated with a silicon compound. In this case, however, silicon compound coated metal microparticles in which at least a part of a surface of a single metal microparticle is coated with a silicon compound, are more preferable than silicon compound coated metal microparticles in which an aggregate exceeding a certain size is coated with a silicon compound, because effects of characteristics such as dispersibility can be easily obtained. Here, the aggregates exceeding a certain size refer to those which size is, for example, more than 100 nm. And, it is preferable that the particle diameter of the silicon compound coated precursor microparticles in which at least a part of a surface of an aggregate wherein a plurality of precursor microparticles are aggregated, is coated with a silicon compound is 100.5% or more and 190% or less relative to the particle diameter of the aggregates. Here, a diameter of the aggregates refers to a maximum distance between two points on the outer periphery of the aggregates.
- (Explanation of Amorphous Silicon Oxide)
- In the present invention, the silicon compound coating at least a part of a surface of a precursor microparticle preferably contains an amorphous silicon oxide. When the silicon compound is amorphous, a random bonding state is formed in the silicon compound, and a reduction substance such as hydrogen or a molecule of the reduction substance enters into the inside of the coating silicon compound. By the effect, there are advantages that reduction of the precursor microparticles to the metal is easily controlled, and reduction to the silicon compound coated metal microparticles and control of the particle diameter of the obtained silicon compound metal microparticles can be strictly performed. The silicon compound in the obtained silicon compound coated metal microparticles preferably contains an amorphous silicon compound. When the silicon compound is amorphous, there is an advantage that characteristics of the silicon compound coated metal microparticles described later can be easily and strictly controlled.
- (Explanation of Amorphous Precursor)
- In the present invention, the precursor constituting the silicon compound coated precursor microparticles preferably contains an amorphous precursor. The precursor being amorphous is advantageous, in that a reduction substance such as hydrogen or a molecule of the reduction substance is likely to act on the precursor microparticles having a random binding state, and in that even a base metal which cannot be reduced by a method such as a reduction by a liquid phase method, can be reduced to a metal or metalloid simple substance, and in that a particle diameter of the obtained silicon compound metal microparticles can be strictly controlled.
- A method of evaluating that the silicon compound or precursor contains an amorphous silicon oxide is not particularly limited. However, the examples include a method of evaluating in combination of confirmation of presence of Si or M being a metal element or metalloid element and 0 being oxygen by an STEM mapping, and confirmation of presence of silicon oxide by an infrared absorption spectrum, and confirmation that a peak derived from crystalline silica (SiO2) or crystalline precursor is not observed in an XRD measurement; and a method of confirming that a crystal lattice is not observed in a site where Si or M and O are detected in TEM observation or STEM observation, and the like.
- In the silicon compound coated metal microparticles of the present invention, as in the case of the silicon compound coated precursor microparticles, it is preferable that the average primary particle diameter of the silicon compound coated metal microparticles is 100.5% or more and 190% or less relative to the average primary particle diameter of the metal microparticles. When the silicon compound coating on the metal microparticles is too thin, effects on the characteristics possessed by the silicon compound coated metal microparticles cannot be exhibited. Thus, it is preferable that the average primary particle diameter of the silicon compound coated metal microparticles is not less than 100.5% relative to the average primary particle diameter of the metal microparticles. When the coating is too thick, or when a coarse aggregate is coated, control of the characteristics is difficult. Thus, it is preferable that the average primary particle diameter of the silicon compound coated metal microparticles is not more than 190% relative to the average primary particle diameter of the metal microparticles. Various compositions of the present invention include metal microparticles in which at least a part of the surface is coated with a silicon compound, namely, silicon compound coated metal microparticles themselves. The silicon compound coated metal microparticles of the present invention may be core/shell type silicon compound coated metal microparticles in which the entire surface of the core metal microparticle is uniformly coated with the silicon compound. The silicon compound coated metal microparticles are preferably silicon compound coated metal microparticles in which a plurality of the metal microparticles are not aggregated and at least a part of a surface of a single metal microparticle is coated with the silicon compound. But, the silicon compound coated metal microparticles may be silicon compound coated metal microparticles in which at least a part of the surface of an aggregate in which a plurality of metal microparticles are aggregated, is coated with the silicon compound. In this case, however, silicon compound coated metal microparticles in which at least a part of a surface of a single metal microparticle is coated with a silicon compound, are more preferable than silicon compound coated metal microparticles in which an aggregate exceeding a certain size is coated with a silicon compound, because effects of characteristics such as dispersibility can be easily obtained. Here, the aggregates exceeding a certain size refer to those which size is, for example, more than 1 μm. And, it is preferable that the particle diameter of the silicon compound coated metal microparticles in which at least a part of a surface of an aggregate wherein a plurality of metal microparticles are aggregated, is coated with a silicon compound is 100.5% or more and 190% or less relative to the particle diameter of the aggregates.

A method of evaluating that silicon (Si) is contained, is preferably a method of observing a plurality of particles using a transmission electron microscope (TEM) or a scanning transmission electron microscope (STEM), and confirming a presence ratio and presence position of silicon relative to elements other than silicon in each particle by an energy dispersive X-ray analyzer (EDS). The examples include a method of evaluating uniformity by specifying a presence ratio (molar ratio) of silicon and elements other than silicon contained in a single silicon compound coated metal microparticle and calculating an average value of the mole ratio and its variation coefficient in the plurality of silicon compound coated metal microparticles, or a method of specifying a presence position of silicon contained in the silicon compound coated metal microparticles by mapping. The silicon compound coated metal microparticles of the present invention are preferably silicon compound coated metal microparticles in which silicon is detected in the vicinity of the surface layer of the particles in the STEM mapping or linear analysis. There is an advantage that chemical stability such as water resistance and acid / alkali resistance can be imparted to the metal microparticles by coating a surface of the metal microparticles with a silicon compound.
- By using the above production method of the silicon compound coated metal microparticles of the present invention, a metal or metalloid element whose reduction reaction is difficult in a conventional liquid phase reduction method can be reduced, and in addition a coating state such as coating thickness of a silicon compound in the obtained silicon compound coated metal microparticles, and an existence ratio of an oxide, and the like can be strictly controlled. Therefore, it has been found that the silicon compound coated metal microparticles can be suitably used for the above various compositions, because characteristics of the silicon compound coated metal microparticles such as stability of the microparticles themselves and storage stability in a state of powders can be controlled. In addition to the above characteristics, absorption characteristics, transmission characteristics, reflection characteristics, plasmon characteristics and the like with respect to electromagnetic waves such as a ultraviolet ray, visible light, near infrared ray and the like are controlled, so that the silicon compound coated metal microparticles can be suitably used for a transparent material composition for the purpose for a glass, film, transparent resin and the like, or a composition for coating such as a coating film and coated body. In addition, when silicon compound coated metal microparticles wherein a surface of a metal microparticle composed of at least one of metal elements or metalloid elements is coated with a silicon compound is used as a magnetic material composition, nano-sized magnetic domains insulated by a silicon compound, and isolated magnetic anisotropy can be controlled, and consequently a holding power can be controlled. Namely, the magnetic material composition is suitable to the extent that it is not conventionally seen as a magnetic material composition. The magnetic material composition is also suitable as an internal electrode of an electronic component. For example, when it is used as an internal electrode of a multilayer ceramic capacitor, after processing a dispersion into a multilayer coating film, the multilayer coating film is sintered under a reduction atmosphere, and at the time of sintering, the silicon compound moves to a surface layer of the electrode, and a thin insulator layer is formed at the boundary between the electrode layer and the dielectric layer, and consequently performance of the multilayer ceramic capacitor is largely improved. In the case that the silicon compound coated metal microparticles are used as the magnetic material composition or the internal electrode material, slurry formation is an important factor, and slurry formation to a state of being dispersed in an appropriate dispersion medium without aggregation. A coating state of the silicon compound in the silicon compound coated metal microparticles, or presence of an oxide and the like, affects a state of coating film formation or a state after sintering by a sintering condition, and is also an important factor for controlling dispersibility, a processing state of water evaporation and reduction at a sintering temperature under a sintering atmosphere, and insulation.
- Furthermore, in the case of silicon compound coated metal microparticles having semiconductor characteristics, semiconductor characteristics such as conductivity, insulation or their temperature dependency are controlled, so that they are preferably used for semiconductor compositions. Although factors for enabling these control are uncertain, a bond terminal part where a free electron moves around freely in a bond such as Si—Si of two silicons being a metalloid element, or between atoms such as Si-M of silicon atom (Si) and M being another metal or metalloid element, namely on a surface of a particle, is in an activated state, because the free electron loses its way, and thus is in a state that a new bond can be always generated. The inventors of the present application consider that a metal element including an activated electron or a metalloid element such as silicon generates a bond with, for example, surrounding oxygen, and the resulting silicon-oxygen bond (Si-O bond) or metal-oxygen bond (M-O Bond) further reacts with another element and functional group, so that it changes to a most stable bond under an environment where a particle is placed, such as silicon-hydroxyl bond (Si—OH bond) or metal-hydroxyl bond (M-OH bond). Namely, the inventors of the present application have found that when a microparticle is smaller, influence to characteristics of the microparticles by a coating state of the silicon compound coated metal microparticles or on a surface of the silicon compound coated metal microparticles, and an existence ratio of an oxide, and position of silicon contained in the metal microparticles are larger, so that characteristics of the silicon compound coated metal microparticles can be strictly controlled by using the method of producing silicon compound coated metal microparticles of the present invention.
- A coating state of the silicon compound contained in the silicon compound coated metal microparticles of the present invention, can control various characteristics such as dispersibility of the silicon compound coated metal microparticles, by controlling a ratio of Si—OH bonds contained in the silicon compound, or a ratio of Si—OH bonds/Si—O bonds which is a ratio of Si—OH bonds relative to Si-O bonds, in addition to the TEM, STEM, and the like. The ratio of Si—OH bonds or the ratio of Si—OH bonds/Si—O bonds can be determined based on the FT-IR measurement results as an example. Here, IR is an abbreviation of infrared absorption spectroscopy (hereinafter, simply referred to as IR). In addition, methods other than IR measurement include an X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), solid nuclear magnetic resonance (solid NMR), electron energy loss spectroscopy (EELS), and the like.
- In the case of using the silicon compound coated metal microparticles of the present invention as a catalyst, catalytic ability can be controlled by controlling a coating state of the silicon compound coated metal microparticles, in addition to the control of dispersibility. For example, in the case of using in a liquid, a coating ratio is controlled by dissolving at least a part of the silicon compound coating the surface at the time of use, and a surface active site of the coated metal microparticles is exposed by dissolving the silicon compound coating, and thereby a catalytic ability of the metal microparticles is exerted or improved. In this case, solubility or dissolution rate of the silicon compound coating at least a part of a surface of metal microparticles in the liquid can be controlled by controlling the coating state of the silicon compound in the silicon compound coated metal microparticles and the existence ratio of an oxide, in order to control the catalytic ability. Characteristics of the catalyst can be controlled and improved, so that the silicon compound coated metal microparticles can be suitably used for a catalyst composition. Similarly, in the case of using the silicon compound coated metal microparticles of the present invention as a reaction material such as an oxidation agent, a reduction agent and the like, solubility or dissolution rate of the silicon compound coating at least a part of a surface of metal microparticles in the liquid can be controlled, and an intended reaction between the metal microparticles contained in the silicon compound coated metal microparticles and a reactant can be controlled, and a yield or selectivity of a reaction product can be improved, so that the silicon compound coated metal microparticles can be suitably used for a reaction composition.
- In the present invention, a primary particle diameter of the metal microparticles in the silicon compound coated metal microparticles is preferably 1 μm or less, more preferably 1 nm or more and 0.5 μm or less. A primary particle diameter of the coated silicon compound coated metal microparticles is also preferably 1 μm or less, more preferably 1 nm or more and 0.5 μm or less. It is assumed that characteristics of the silicon compound coated metal microparticles can be strictly controlled by strictly controlling a coating state of the silicon compound and an existence ratio of an oxide in the silicon compound coated metal microparticles, and that the silicon compound coated metal microparticles having a primary particle diameter of 1 μm or less have surface areas greater than the silicon compound coated metal microparticles having a primary particle diameter of more than 1 μm. Thereby, it is understood that influence to characteristics of the silicon compound coated metal microparticles by controlling a coating state of the silicon compound in the silicon compound coated metal microparticles, or an existence ratio of an oxide, or the like, is large. Therefore, in the silicon compound coated metal microparticles having a primary particle diameter of 1 μm or less, it is an advantage that predetermined characteristics (particularly suitable characteristics for use as a composition for coating for use in a coating film, coated body or the like, a composition for a transparent material for use in a coated body required to have transparency, a glass, a transparent resin or a film, a magnetic material composition for use in a magnetic material such as a magnetic fluid, a semiconductor composition for use in a semiconductor or the like, a conductive composition for use as a conductive material, a reaction composition for use in a reaction material or the like, or a catalyst composition for use as a catalyst material) can be exerted by controlling a particle diameter of the silicon compound coated metal microparticles, or a coating state of the silicon compound, or an existence ratio of an oxide, or the like.

The observation condition was the acceleration voltage of 80 kV and the observation magnification of 50,000 times or more, and a beam diameter of 0.2 nm was used for analysis.
- (X-ray diffraction measurement)
- For the X-ray diffraction (XRD) measurement, the powder X-ray diffractometer Empyrean (Spectris Co., Ltd., PANalytical Division) was used.

The XRD was measured using the dry powder of the silicon compound coated metal microparticles obtained in each Example.
- In Example 1, silicon compound coated silicon aluminum doped iron oxide microparticles were prepared as silicon compound coated precursor microparticles. A precursor raw material liquid (liquid A), a precursor precipitation solvent (liquid B), and a silicon compound raw material liquid (liquid C) were prepared using the high-speed rotary dispersion emulsification apparatus CLEAMIX (product name: CLM-2.2 S, M. Technique Co., Ltd.). Specifically, based on the formulation of the precursor raw material liquid shown in Example 1 of Table 1, the components of the precursor raw material liquid were mixed homogeneously by stirring using CLEARMIX at preparation temperature of 50° C. and at the rotor rotational speed of 20,000 rpm for 30 min to prepare the precursor raw material liquid. Based on the formulation of the precursor precipitation solvent shown in Example 1 of Table 2, the components of the precursor precipitation solvent were mixed homogeneously by stirring using CLEARMIX at preparation temperature of 25° C. and at the rotor rotational speed of 8,000 rpm for 30 min to prepare the precursor precipitation solvent. Based on the formulation of the silicon compound raw material liquid shown in Example 1 of Table 3, the components of the silicon compound raw material liquid were mixed homogeneously by stirring using CLEARMIX at preparation temperature of 20° C. and at the rotor rotational speed of 6,000 rpm for 10 min to prepare the silicon compound raw material liquid. Regarding the substances represented by the chemical formula and abbreviations set forth in Tables 1 to 3, MeOH is methanol (Mitsubishi Chemical Corporation), NaOH is sodium hydroxide (Kanto Kagaku Co., Inc.), TEOS is tetraethyl orthosilicate (Wako Pure Chemical Industry Ltd.), Fe(NO3)3.9H2O is iron nitrate nonahydrate (Kanto Kagaku Co., Ltd.), and Al(NO3)3.9H2O is aluminum nitrate nonahydrate (Kanto Kagaku Co., Ltd.).
- Then, the prepared precursor raw material liquid, the precursor precipitation solvent and the silicon compound raw material liquid were mixed using the fluid processing apparatus described in Patent Literature 4 filed by the present applicant. Here, the fluid processing apparatus described in Patent Literature 4 is an apparatus described in
FIG. 1(B) of Patent Literature 4, wherein the openings of the second and third introduction parts d20, d30 have concentric annular shapes which are surrounding the central opening of the processing surface 2 which is a ring-shaped disc, which was used. Specifically, the precursor raw material liquid or the precursor precipitation solvent as liquid A was introduced from the first introduction part dl into the space between the processing surfaces 1 and 2, and while driving theprocessing member 10 at a rotational speed of 1,130 rpm, as liquid B the other liquid of the precursor raw material liquid and the precursor precipitation solvent other than the liquid sent as liquid A was introduced from the second introduction part d2 into the space between the processing surfaces 1 and 2, and the precursor raw material liquid and the precursor precipitation solvent were mixed in the thin film fluid, to let the core precursor microparticles be precipitated in the space between the processing surfaces 1 and 2. Then, the silicon compound raw material liquid as liquid C was introduced from the third introduction part d3 into the space between the processing surfaces 1 and 2, and liquid C was mixed with a mixed fluid containing the core precursor microparticles in the thin film fluid. The silicon compound was precipitated on the surface of the core precursor microparticles. The discharge liquid containing the silicon compound coated precursor microparticles (hereinafter, the silicon compound coated precursor microparticle dispersion) was discharged from the space between the processing surfaces 1 and 2 of the fluid processing apparatus. The silicon compound coated precursor microparticle dispersion was collected in the beaker b through the vessel v. - Table 4 shows the operating conditions of the fluid treatment apparatus, and the molar ratios of Si/M calculated from 1EM-EDS analysis of the obtained silicon compound coated precursor microparticles, and the calculated values calculated from the formulations and introduction flow rates of liquid A, liquid B and liquid C. However, in Example 1, the molar ratios Si/M is Si/(Fe+Al), and the amount of Si is the sum of Si contained in the core and shell. The introduction temperatures (liquid sending temperatures) and the introduction pressures (liquid sending pressures) of liquid A, liquid B and liquid C shown in Table 4 were measured using a thermometer and a pressure gauge provided in a sealed inlet path leading to the space between the processing surfaces 1 and 2 (the first introduction part dl, the second introduction part d2 and the third introduction part d3). The introduction temperature of liquid A shown in Table 4 is the actual temperature of liquid A under the introduction pressure in the first introduction part dl. Similarly, the introduction temperature of liquid B shown in Table 4 is the actual temperature of liquid B under the introduction pressure in the second introduction part d2. The introduction temperature of liquid C shown in Table 4 is the actual temperature of liquid C under the introduction pressure in the third introduction part d3.
- For the pH measurement, the pH meter, model number D-51 manufactured by HORIBA Ltd. was used. The pHs of liquid A, liquid B and liquid C were measured at room temperature prior to introduction into the fluid processing apparatus. Further, it is difficult to measure the pH of the mixed fluid immediately after mixing the precursor raw material liquid and the precursor precipitation solvent, and the pH of the mixed fluid immediately after mixing the fluid containing the core precursor microparticles and the silicon compound raw material liquid. Therefore, the silicon compound coated precursor microparticle dispersion was discharged from the apparatus and collected in the beaker b, and the pH of the liquid was measured at room temperature.
- Dry powders and wet cake samples were prepared from the silicon compound coated precursor microparticle dispersion which was discharged from the fluid processing apparatus, and collected in the beaker b. The preparation method was conducted according to a conventional method of this type of processing. The discharged silicon compound coated precursor microparticle dispersion was collected, and the silicon compound coated precursor microparticles were settled, and the supernatant was removed. Thereafter, the silicon compound coated precursor microparticles were washed and settled repetitively with 100 parts by weight of pure water, and then, were washed and settled repetitively until the conductivity of the cleaning liquid containing the silicon compound coated precursor microparticles reached 10 μS/cm or less. A part of the finally obtained wet cake of the silicon compound coated precursor microparticles was dried at 25° C. at −0.10 MPaG for 20 hours to obtain the dry powders. The rest was the wet cake sample. Silicon compound coated precursor microparticles were prepared under the conditions shown in Comparative Example 1 in Tables 1 to 4 using the same method as in Example 1. An average primary particle diameter of the silicon compound coated precursor microparticles prepared in Example 1 was 8.8 nm. and the silicon compound coated precursor microparticles prepared in Comparative Example 1 was observed in the state of coated coarse aggregates, and an average primary particle diameter was 439 nm. In both Example 1 and Comparative Example 1, it was confirmed using XRD and FT-IR that the silicon compound contained amorphous silicon oxide.

FIG. 1 shows an STEM mapping result of the silicon compound coated silicon aluminum doped iron microparticles obtained in Example 1-5. InFIG. 1 , (a) shows a mapping result of a dark-field (HAADF), (b) shows a mapping result of oxygen (0), (c) shows a mapping result of silicon (Si), (d) shows a mapping result of iron (Fe), and (e) shows a mapping result of aluminum (Al). As seen fromFIG. 1 , it is understood that the surface of the silicon aluminum doped iron microparticles is coated with the silicon compound containing silicon oxide. Also, interference fringes of crystal lattice were not observed at the site where silicon coating the surface was detected, so that it was considered that the silicon compound coating the surface was amorphous. Similar STEM mapping results were also obtained for Examples 1-1 to 1-4 and Examples 1-6 to 1-8.FIG. 4 shows an STEM mapping result of the silicon compound coated silicon aluminum doped iron microparticles obtained in Example 1-8. It was confirmed that when a treatment temperature rose or a treatment time was prolonged, a particle diameter of the silicon compound coated silicon aluminum doped iron oxide microparticle increased. It was also confirmed that silicon contained in the silicon compound coated silicon aluminum doped iron microparticles was transferred in the vicinity of the surface layer of the particles. - Based on the XRD measurement results, peaks of an oxide such as magnetite were also observed in the silicon compound coated silicon aluminum doped iron microparticles obtained under the conditions of Examples 1-1 to 1-3. However, no peaks of an oxide were observed in the silicon aluminum doped iron microparticles obtained in Examples 1-4 to 1-8, and peaks similar to the peaks of only iron were observed.
FIG. 2 shows the measurement results of Example 1-5 as a representative.FIG. 3 shows the peak positions of iron (Fe: Metal) in the database with respect to the peak list of the measurement result shown inFIG. 2 on the charts enlarging the regions around the peaks. As shown inFIG. 3 , it is understood that the XRD measurement result of the silicon aluminum doped iron microparticles obtained in Example 1-5 shows that the peaks are close to the peaks of iron, but the peak positions of iron itself are shifted. It is considered that the XRD measurement result was obtained by forming silicon aluminum doped iron microparticles in which iron, silicon and aluminum formed a solid solution. - As seen from Table 5, the silicon compound coated metal microparticles can be obtained by treating the silicon compound coated precursor microparticles under a reduction atmosphere, and a particle diameter of the silicon compound coated metal microparticles can be controlled by controlling a treatment temperature and a treatment time. Also, the silicon compound coated precursor microparticles obtained in Comparative Example 1 were subjected to the same reduction treatment as in Example 1, but reduction was insufficient under any conditions, and the silicon compound coated metal microparticles of the present invention were not obtained.
- In the following Examples 2 and 3, silicon compound coated metal microparticles were prepared by changing the metal element in the silicon compound coated metal microparticles (Example 2) or by changing the treatment apparatus (Example 3).
- Example 2 describes a method of producing silicon compound coated silicon microparticles in which at least a part of a surface of a silicon microparticle as a metalloid microparticle is coated with a silicon compound, by subjecting to a reduction treatment silicon oxide microparticles being silicon compound coated precursor microparticles or silicon doped precursor microparticles. Preparation conditions are shown in Tables 6 to 8. The other conditions were the same as in Example 1. However, since the third fluid (liquid C) was not used in Example 2, a device not having a flow path for introducing the third fluid in the device of Patent Literature 4 was used. An average primary particle diameter of the silicon compound precursor microparticles obtained in Example 2 was 25.9 nm. The silicon compound precursor microparticles obtained in Comparative Example 2 were observed as coated coarse aggregates, and an average primary particle diameter of the microparticles was 552 nm. It was confirmed in both Example 2 and Comparative Example 2 using STEM, XRD and FT-IR, that the silicon compound contained an amorphous silicon oxide and that the silicon oxide microparticles as precursor microparticles contained amorphous silicon oxide. Table 9 shows the hydrogen concentrations in the gas flowing into the reduction furnace, the treatment temperatures, the treatment times, and the average primary particle diameters of the obtained silicon compound coated metal microparticles. Regarding the substances represented by the chemical formula and abbreviations set forth in Tables 6 and 7, as substances different from the substances shown in Tables 1 to 3, 60% HNO3 is concentrated nitric acid (Kishida Chemical Co., Ltd.), Na2SiO3.9H2O is sodium metasilicate nonahydrate (Wako Pure Chemical Industry Ltd.), and the same substances as in Example 1 were used for the other substances other than the above.

From Table 9, the same conclusion as in Example 1 was obtained also in Example 2. In Example 2, silicon microparticles existed in the furnace at the time of completion of the treatment under the reduction atmosphere condition, and silicon compound coated silicon microparticles were prepared by oxidizing the surface when replacing with the atmospheric atmosphere. A reduction treatment of the silicon compound coated precursor microparticles obtained in Comparative Example 2 did not produce the silicon compound coated metal microparticles of the present invention.
- In Example 3, the silicon compound coated precursor microparticles were prepared in the same manner as in Example 1 except for using an apparatus described in JP 2009-112892, and using a method of mixing and reacting liquid A, liquid B and liquid C. Here, the apparatus of JP 2009-112892 was an apparatus described in
FIG. 1 of JP 2009-112892, and the inner diameter of the stirring tank was 80 mm, and the gap between the outer end of the mixing tool and the inner peripheral surface of the stirring tank was 0.5 mm, and the rotor rotational speed of the stirring blade was 7,200 rpm. Further, liquid A was introduced into the stirring tank, and liquid B was added, mixed and reacted in the thin film consisting of liquid A that was crimped to the inner peripheral surface of the stirring tank.
