Definitions
- the present invention relates to silver powder and a method for producing the same, and more particularly to silver powder suitable for a material of a conductive paste and a method for producing the same.
- the electrodes of solar cells the internal electrodes of multilayer ceramic electronic components such as electronic components using low-temperature fired ceramic (LTCC) and multilayer ceramic inductors (MLCI), and the external electrodes such as multilayer ceramic capacitors and multilayer ceramic inductors are formed.
- LTCC low-temperature fired ceramic
- MLCI multilayer ceramic inductors
- the external electrodes such as multilayer ceramic capacitors and multilayer ceramic inductors
- metal powder such as silver powder is used as silver powder.
- a reducing agent is added to an aqueous reaction system containing silver ions in the presence of seed particles such as copper to reduce and deposit silver particles.
- a manufacturing method has been proposed (see, for example, Patent Document 1).
- silver powder produced by the conventional method of producing silver powder by water atomization is likely to agglomerate and the secondary particle diameter tends to be large, and the surface is smooth when the silver powder thus agglomerated is used as a material of the conductive paste It becomes difficult to form a thin conductive film.
- silver powder with a small particle diameter is required as silver powder used for conductive paste in recent years due to miniaturization of internal electrodes of electronic components such as multilayer ceramic inductors (MLCI), but the particle diameter of silver powder is small. Then, the silver powder tends to aggregate.
- MLCI multilayer ceramic inductors
- the inventors of the present invention found that 40 ppm or more of copper can be obtained by rapidly solidifying by spraying high pressure water while dropping a molten metal in which silver containing 40 ppm or more of copper is dissolved. It has been found that silver powder containing and having a carbon content of 0.1% by mass or less can be produced to produce a silver powder having a low carbon content and which is difficult to aggregate, and the present invention has been completed.
- the silver powder according to the present invention is characterized by containing 40 ppm or more of copper and having a carbon content of 0.1 mass% or less.
- the content of copper in this silver powder is preferably 40 to 10000 ppm.
- the silver powder preferably has a volume-based 50% cumulative particle diameter (D 50 diameter) of 1 to 15 ⁇ m as measured by a laser diffraction particle size distribution analyzer, and the cumulative 50% particle diameter of the silver powder (D 50)
- the ratio (SEM diameter / D 50 diameter) of the average particle diameter (SEM diameter) of single particles observed by a field emission scanning electron microscope to the diameter) is preferably 0.3 to 1.0. Further, it is preferable that a ratio of tap density (tap density / D 50 diameter) to a cumulative 50% particle diameter (D 50 diameter) of this silver powder is 0.45 to 3.0 g / (cm 3 ⁇ ⁇ m).
- the oxygen content in silver dust is 0.1 mass% or less.
- the BET specific surface area of the silver powder is preferably 0.1 to 1.0 m 2 / g, and the tap density is preferably 2 to 6 g / cm 3 .
- the method for producing silver powder according to the present invention is characterized in that high-pressure water is sprayed to rapidly solidify while dropping a molten metal in which silver containing 40 ppm or more of copper is dissolved.
- the content of copper in the molten metal is preferably 40 to 10000 ppm.
- the conductive paste according to the present invention is characterized in that the silver powder is dispersed in the organic component.
- the method for producing a conductive film according to the present invention is characterized in that the above-mentioned conductive paste is applied onto a substrate and then fired to produce a conductive film.
- the copper content is 40 ppm or more and the carbon content is 0.1 mass% or less.
- the content of copper in the silver powder is 40 ppm or more (from the viewpoint of preventing aggregation of the silver powder), and from the viewpoint of improving the oxidation resistance and conductivity of the silver powder, the content is preferably 40 to 10000 ppm. It is more preferably 2000 ppm, particularly preferably 40 to 800 ppm, and most preferably 230 to 750 ppm.

- composition analysis of silver powder is carried out by the same method as in Example 1, carbon content and oxygen content in silver powder are measured, BET specific surface area and tap density (TAP) of silver powder are determined, and accumulation of silver powder 50 % was calculated the ratio of tap density to particle diameter (D 50 diameter) (tAP) (tAP / D 50 diameter), resulting silver powder is a silver powder containing no Cu, the carbon content is 0.004 mass%
- the oxygen content is 0.038% by mass
- the BET specific surface area is 0.35 m 2 / g
- the tap density is 2.3 g / cm 3
- the tap density relative to the 50% cumulative particle size (D 50 diameter) of silver powder The ratio of TAP) (TAP / D 50 diameter) was 0.24 g / (cm 3 ⁇ ⁇ m).
- the silver powder according to the present invention forms an electrode of a solar cell, an internal electrode of a multilayer ceramic electronic component such as an electronic component using low temperature fired ceramic (LTCC) or a multilayer ceramic inductor, an external electrode such as a multilayer ceramic capacitor or a multilayer ceramic inductor
- LTCC low temperature fired ceramic
- a multilayer ceramic inductor an external electrode such as a multilayer ceramic capacitor or a multilayer ceramic inductor
- a highly conductive conductive film can be obtained by utilizing it as a material of the fired conductive paste.
