Description

一种制备高分散高结晶纳米镍粉的方法 技术领域
本发明涉及一种制备高分散高结晶纳米镍粉的技术,属于金属纳米颗粒制备技术领域。
背景技术
纳米金属镍粉具有优良的电学和磁学性能,在磁学性能,在电极材料、催化剂、磁流体等领域有有广泛的应用前景。特别是。特别是近年来随着多层陶瓷电容器(MLCC)的快速发展,对纳米镍粉的需求不断增长,对其制备技术的研究也愈加广泛。MLCC正在朝着超薄层化发展,目前内电极的厚度最薄已达0.6-0.7μm,相对应的纳米镍粉的颗粒尺寸在100nm左右。随着MLCC层数的不断增加和内电极厚度的不断减薄,未来纳米镍粉的颗粒尺寸还需要进一步减小。
对MLCC内电极用纳米镍粉来说,不仅要求粒径小,还对纳米颗粒的分散性和结晶性有很高的要求。MLCC内电极制作时需要经过排胶和烧结过程,需要纳米镍粉具有良好的结晶性,才能具备足够的抗氧化性能,而且高结晶的镍颗粒具有高的致密度,烧结后的收缩程度也较轻;同时,纳米镍粉还需要具有良好的分散性,否则颗粒团聚将导致出现内电极不连续、漏电等问题。
现有方法制备的纳米镍粉普遍存在着颗粒尺寸偏大、分散性差或抗氧化温度低等问题。纳米镍粉的抗氧化性能取决于其结晶性,而结晶性又严重依赖于制备温度。高结晶的纳米金属镍需要在较高温度下制备,而纳米颗粒在高温下很难避免团聚和烧结,因此难以达到高结晶、高分散和小粒径的统一。液相还原和电解沉淀等方法虽然可以制备出粒径小于100nm的纳米镍粉,但由于制备温度低(<100℃),结晶性差,室温就会发生氧化。目前商用MLCC用纳米镍粉采用的是化学气相冷凝或物理气相冷凝法,可以制备出100-300nm左右的纳米镍粉,具有良好的抗氧化性和高的分散性,但难以制备出颗粒尺寸更小的纳米镍粉,而且制备工艺复杂、设备昂贵、生产成本极高。
使用高熔点水溶性盐作为隔离相可以防止高温下纳米颗粒的团聚和烧结,且水溶性盐易于水洗清除,有利于制备高结晶高分散的纳米颗粒。本项目组前期采用水溶性硫酸盐共沉淀法(中国专利CN201810037875.7)、水溶性盐纳米颗粒隔离法(中国专利CN201810037620.0)和金属乙酰丙酮盐溶液浸渍法(2019101041603)等多种方法来研制纳米镍粉,但这些方法仍存在工艺复杂、颗粒尺寸不均匀等缺点,难以规模化制备出高结晶高分散纳米镍粉。
发明内容
技术问题:本发明提供了一种能快速合成高结晶高分散纳米镍粉的方法,可规模化制备 出粒径小于50nm、粒径均匀、分散性好的纳米镍粉,该制备技术在导电浆料、磁流体和微波吸收材料等领域具有良好的应用前景。
技术方案:本发明的制备高结晶高分散纳米镍粉的方法,包括以下步骤:
1)将镍盐和柠檬酸溶解于有机溶剂中,配制含有镍的有机溶胶,所述有机溶剂为乙二醇甲醚、乙二醇乙醚,乙二醇丁醚,乙醇,正丙醇,异丙醇、正丁醇、乙二醇和丙二醇中的一种;
2)将含有镍的有机溶胶与水溶性盐混合,静置或离心,使水溶性盐沉降,去除上部多余的有机溶胶,得到含有金属元素的有机溶胶与水溶性盐的混合物;
3)将该混合物在60℃至120℃保温,发生溶胶-凝胶转变,凝胶干燥后在水溶性盐颗粒表面包覆一层干凝胶膜;
4)将包覆有干凝胶膜的水溶性盐在400℃以上、盐熔点以下煅烧,干凝胶膜转变为氧化镍纳米颗粒,并分散附着在水溶性盐颗粒表面,形成煅烧产物;
5)将煅烧产物在还原性气氛中400℃至600℃还原,将分散附着在水溶性盐颗粒的表面的氧化镍纳米颗粒转变为镍纳米颗粒;
6)将还原产物用水洗涤、干燥,得到高结晶高分散纳米镍粉。
进一步的,本发明方法中,步骤2)中的水溶性盐为硫酸钾、硫酸钠、氯化钾或氯化钠。
进一步的,本发明方法中,步骤1)中的含有镍的有机溶胶中,镍的摩尔浓度在0.01M至1M之间,硝酸镍和柠檬酸的摩尔比为1:0.1-1。
进一步的,本发明方法中,步骤1)中的含有镍的有机溶胶中,镍盐为硝酸镍、乙酸镍或氯化镍。
有益效果:本发明与现有技术相比,具有以下优点:
现有的纳米镍粉制备方法难以同时获得高结晶性、高分散性和小的粒径。液相还原法和电解沉淀法制备出的纳米镍粉结晶性太差、容易氧化。化学气相冷凝或物理气相冷凝法制备的纳米镍粉又存在粒径太大、工艺复杂、设备昂贵和生产成本高的缺点。本项目组前期尝试过使用水溶性硫酸盐共沉淀法、水溶性盐纳米颗粒隔离法和金属乙酰丙酮盐溶液浸渍法等多种方法来制备纳米镍粉,但这些方法仍存在工艺复杂、颗粒尺寸不均匀等缺点,难以规模化制备出高结晶高分散纳米镍粉。
本发明使用含有镍的有机溶胶来浸渍水溶性盐,有机溶胶在后续的保温过程中发生溶胶-凝胶转变,当凝胶中的有机溶剂蒸发时,凝胶发生收缩,彻底干燥后可在水溶性盐颗粒表面包覆一层干凝胶膜,在后续的高温煅烧过程中,干凝胶膜中的有机物煅烧分解,生成 氧化镍纳米颗粒,而且生成的氧化镍纳米颗粒分散附着在水溶性盐颗粒的表面,然后在400℃至600℃还原气氛中还原,将分散附着在水溶性盐颗粒的表面的氧化镍纳米颗粒转变为镍纳米颗粒,冷却后水洗将盐去除,即可得到具有良好分散性和结晶性的金属镍纳米颗粒。
本发明利用了凝胶干燥时的收缩特性,在水溶性盐颗粒表面生成一层均匀的干凝胶膜。高温煅烧时,有机物发生分解,这层干凝胶膜变成氧化镍纳米颗粒分散在水溶性盐颗粒的表面。我们的研究表明,这些纳米颗粒紧密附着在盐颗粒表面,与水溶性盐颗粒有较强的结合力,再次还原成镍纳米颗粒时,也不会从盐颗粒表面脱落。同时这些镍纳米颗粒之间由于相互不接触,因此不会发生扩散传质,也就不会发生团聚和烧结。而且,本发明的还原温度可高达800℃,镍纳米颗粒结晶完善,颗粒内部几乎没有晶体缺陷。因此,本发明可以得到高结晶高分散的纳米镍粉。
经过优选后,本发明使用硫酸钾(熔点1067℃)、硫酸钠(熔点884℃)、氯化钠(熔点801℃)、氯化钾(熔点770℃)这四种水溶性盐来制备纳米镍粉。
如果在有机溶胶中加入表面活性剂,将能进一步改善纳米镍粉的颗粒尺寸均匀性。表面活性剂包括聚乙二醇、聚乙烯吡咯烷酮、羧酸类表面活性剂等。
本发明的制备方法工艺简便,易于大规模生产,可以快速批量制备出高结晶高分散的纳米镍粉,颗粒尺寸小于50nm。

图1为使用本发明方法在600℃还原制备的纳米镍粉,粒径约30-50nm,分散性良好。
