Next, a mixed solvent containing ethanol, a polar solvent, and hexane, a nonpolar solvent, is added to the solution after synthesizing the nickel metal core, and the mixture is mixed to transfer nickel acetate and other polar soluble species between the solvents at the phase boundary. and liquid-liquid extraction was performed.

Description
本出願は、2022年7月29日出願の米国仮出願第63/369,799号に基づく優先権を主張する出願であり、前記米国仮出願の内容は参照することにより本明細書に組み込まれる。
ナノ粒子集団の各ナノ粒子が、金属コアと、前記金属コアの表面の少なくとも一部を被覆する金属酸化物コーティングを含み、
前記各ナノ粒子の平均直径が2nm~200nmの範囲内であり、
前記金属酸化物コーティングは、Ba、Ti、Zr、Hf、V、Nb、Ta、W、およびMoからなる群より選択されるいずれか1つ以上を含む。
溶媒と、前記溶媒中に分散された上記の本発明の実施形態に係るナノ粒子集団と、を含む。
金属コアと、前記金属コアの表面の少なくとも一部を被覆する金属酸化物コーティングとを含むナノ粒子を製造する方法であって、
酸素含有官能基を含むリガンドと配位した金属コアを含む溶液を得る工程と、
酸素含有官能基を含むリガンドと配位した金属コアを含む溶液に1種以上の金属酸化物前駆体を添加して、前記金属酸化物コーティングを形成する工程と、を有する。
以下でより詳細に説明するように、金属酸化物コーティングの使用は、ナノ粒子の焼結温度を、MLCCにおいて金属と共に使用される誘電材料の温度に適切に近い温度まで上昇させることができる。このようにして、他の可能な用途の中でも特に、MLCC中でより小さいナノ粒子集団の使用を可能にする。
例えば、特許文献1には、表面の一部に複合酸化物層を有するニッケル粉末が開示されている。特許文献1では溶液を噴霧して微細な液滴にし、その液滴を高温で加熱し、金属化合物を熱分解することで、複合酸化物を有するニッケル粉末を一回の操作で得られている方法が開示されている。しかしながら、特許文献1に開示されている噴霧熱分解法は液滴を利用して粉末を得るため、上述したような200nm以下の金属コアに酸化物コーティングを有するナノ粒子集団を得ることは困難である。
しかしながら、上述のように、この平均直径の範囲内のナノ粒子は、同じ金属のより大きなナノ粒子と比較して、低減された焼結温度を有し得る。したがって、本開示のナノ粒子集団は、MLCC(100)を、誘電材料(106)中への不適切なレベルの金属ナノ粒子拡散なしに焼結することを可能にするために、適切な焼結温度を提供するための金属酸化物コーティングを含み得る。金属酸化物コーティングとしては、任意の適切な金属酸化物コーティングを使用することができる。例としては、Ba、Ti、Zr、Hf、V、Nb、Ta、W、およびMoからなる群より選択されるいずれか1つ以上を含む金属酸化物コーティングが挙げられる。金属酸化物コーティングとしては、例えば、BaTiO3や、WO3、Ta2O5等が挙げられる。また、例えば、金属酸化物コーティングは三元酸化物を含み得る。三元酸化物の具体的な例としてはBaTiO3が挙げられる。いくつかの例では、同じ材料が、誘電体層のために、および金属コアをコーティングするために使用され得る。いくつかのより具体的な例では、ナノ粒子集団がBaTiO3で被覆されたニッケルナノ粒子を含み、MLCCの誘電材料もBaTiO3を含む。例えば、ナノ粒子集団のナノ粒子の焼結温度は750℃よりも高くすることができる。
したがって、合成されたままの金属コアは、金属コアの表面の少なくとも一部に金属酸化物コーティングを形成すべく、金属コアに結合しているリガンドの少なくとも一部のリガンドを、酸素含有官能基を含むリガンドと交換される。酸素含有官能基を含むリガンドを金属コアに結合させるリガンド交換反応を実施することにより、金属コアの表面の少なくとも一部に、金属酸化物成長が起こり得る位置を提供することができる。
図5は、BaTiO3で被覆されたニッケルナノ粒子の集団を形成するための例示的な合成(500)を示す。他の例では、合成(500)が他のコーティングされたナノ粒子集団を形成するように適合され得る。例としては、酸化タングステンおよび酸化タンタルの1つ以上で被覆されたニッケルナノ粒子集団および他の金属コアを含むナノ粒子集団が挙げられる。
まず、図5の(502)を参照すると、ニッケル金属コア(504)が合成される。図示の例では、1-オクタデセン中で酢酸ニッケルを混合し、次いでリガンドを添加してニッケルを配位させることによって、(502)でニッケル金属コア(504)が合成される。この実施例では、ドデシルアミンおよびトリオクチルホスフィンがリガンドとして使用される。ドデシルアミンは、還元剤としても作用し得る。
他の例では、他のアミンおよび/または他のホスフィンを含む、任意の他の適切なリガンドおよび還元剤を使用することができる。同様に、他の適切な溶媒を他の例で使用することができる。好適な溶媒としては、金属コアの合成温度を超える沸点を有する他の非極性溶媒が挙げられ得る。
得られた精製ニッケル金属コア(504)は、ドデシルアミンリガンド(506)およびトリオクチルホスフィンリガンド(508)によって結合され、非極性溶媒に可溶である。図5のニッケル金属コア(504)と比較したドデシルアミンリガンド(506)およびトリオクチルホスフィンリガンド(508)の描写は概略的であり、リガンドの相対的サイズは説明のために誇張されていることが理解されるであろう。実際には、合成に使用されるリガンドの比に基づく濃度比のリガンド分子の濃度によって、ニッケル金属コアが実質的に囲まれてもよい。
図5に示すように、より特異な前駆体例は、酢酸バリウムおよびチタンイソプロポキシドなどのチタンアルコキシ化合物が挙げられる。これらの金属イオンの他の塩は、アニオンがニッケルナノ粒子の意図された使用(例えば、MLCCにおける)に有害ではない無機塩を含む、他の例において使用され得る。
なお、特許文献2に記載の方法では、ニッケル微粒子にペロブスカイト型構造のチタン酸バリウムを形成するために、400℃以上の温度で熱処理することが必要であった。これに対し本発明では、合成されたままの金属コアに結合した少なくともいくつかのリガンドを、酸素含有官能基を含むリガンド種と交換することによって、当該リガンドの酸素含有官能基が金属酸化物前駆体との反応ポイントとして作用するため、400℃以上の温度で熱処理せずとも金属コアに酸化物コーティングを形成することができ、金属コアに酸化物コーティングを有するナノ粒子集団を得ることができる。
他の例では、金属酸化物コーティングを含むナノ粒子がこの範囲外のサイズを有し得る。すなわち、本発明の金属コアに金属酸化物コーティングを形成する方法は、ナノレベルのサイズの粒子に効果があるだけでなく、ナノレベルのサイズ以上の粒子、例えばサブミクロンサイズの粒子にも効果がある方法である。
ナノ粒子の例としては、上述の金属酸化物コーティングを有するナノ粒子が挙げられる。上述のナノ粒子を分散させる任意の適切な溶媒を使用することができる。そのような印刷可能な組成物に好適であり得る例示的な溶媒としては、水、ニトリル、芳香族アルコール、アルケン、アルコール、ケトン、アルデヒド、エーテル、エステル、炭化水素、およびそれらの2つ以上の混合物が挙げられ得る。溶媒または溶媒混合物の選択は、使用される印刷方法に依存し得る。例えば、インクジェット印刷に関して、溶媒または溶媒混合物の選択は、サーマルインクジェット印刷または圧電インクジェット印刷のいずれが使用されるかに依存し得る。

(ニッケル金属コアの合成)
1-オクタデセン中に酢酸ニッケルを混合し、次いでリガンドとしてドデシルアミンおよびトリオクチルホスフィンを添加してニッケルを配位させ、脱気後、220℃で2時間反応させ、冷却した。次いで、ニッケル金属コア合成後の液に極性溶媒であるエタノールと非極性溶媒であるヘキサンを含む混合溶媒を添加し、混合して、酢酸ニッケルおよび他の極性可溶性種を相境界で溶媒間を移動させ、液液抽出を行った。液液抽出後、ニッケル金属コアをヘキサンに再分散させたニッケル金属コア分散液を得た。
(リガンド交換)
ニッケル金属コアをヘキサンに分散させたニッケル金属コア分散液に、6-ヒドロキシヘキサン酸を添加し、20分間超音波処理した。リガンドのヒドロキシ基中の酸素は、金属酸化物コーティング形成のための酸素を提供する。
(金属酸化物コーティング)
リガンド交換を行ったニッケル金属コアを、エタノールなどのアルコール中に懸濁させた。ニッケル金属コアの懸濁液に、酢酸バリウムおよびチタンイソプロポキシドを溶解し、50℃の温度で20分間保持することで金属酸化物コーティングの合成を行った。
これにより、金属酸化物コーティングとしてBaTiO3を有するニッケルナノ粒子集団を得た。
リガンド交換の際に、酸素含有官能基を有するリガンドとして、4-ヒドロキシ安息香酸を用い、かつ金属酸化物コーティングの形成反応を室温で60分間攪拌することにより行った以外は実施例1と同様にしてナノ粒子集団を得た。
リガンド交換の際に、酸素含有官能基を有するリガンドとして、6-メルカプト-1-ヘキサノールを用いた以外は実施例1と同様にしてナノ粒子集団を得た。
金属酸化物コーティングの合成の際に、酢酸バリウムおよびチタンイソプロポキシドの代わりに塩化タングステン(WCl6)を添加した以外は実施例1と同様にしてナノ粒子集団を製造した。
これにより、金属酸化物コーティングとしてWO3を有するニッケルナノ粒子集団を得た。
金属酸化物コーティングの合成の際に、酢酸バリウムおよびチタンイソプロポキシドの代わりにタンタルイソプロポキシド(Tantalum isopropoxide)を添加した以外は実施例1と同様にしてナノ粒子集団を製造した。
これにより、金属酸化物コーティングとしてTa2O5を有するニッケルナノ粒子集団を得た。
金属酸化物コーティングの合成の際に、酢酸バリウムおよびチタンイソプロポキシドの代わりにタンタルブトキシド(Tantalum butoxide)を添加した以外は実施例1と同様にしてナノ粒子集団を製造した。
これにより、金属酸化物コーティングとしてTa2O5を有するニッケルナノ粒子集団を得た。
実施例1と同様にしてニッケル金属コアを合成した後、リガンド交換することなくエタノールなどのアルコール中に懸濁させ、懸濁液に酢酸バリウムおよびチタンイソプロポキシドを溶解し、50℃の温度で20分間保持した。
実施例1で作製したナノ粒子集団を、明モードTEM、暗モードTEMおよびEDXによって分析した。これらの分析結果の画像を、それぞれ図9~図11に示す。図9の明モードTEM画像は、金属酸化物コーティング(904)を有するニッケルナノ粒子(902)を示す。図10の暗モードTEM画像は、ニッケルナノ粒子(1002)の周りの金属酸化物コーティング(1000)の薄い画像を示す。TEM画像は、ニッケルナノ粒子の周りの金属酸化物コーティングの存在を示す。金属酸化物コーティングの組成をEDXによって分析したデータを図11に示す。
図11において、ニッケルの主な存在および酸素または他の元素の不存在は、金属コア(1100)がニッケルから構成されることを示唆する。ニッケル金属コアの表面はTi(1102)、Ba(1104)およびO(1106)の存在を示し、金属酸化物コーティングがBaTiO3を含み得ることを示唆する。
なお、TEMによって観察された粒子画像に基づき、前述のようにして平均直径を測定した。
したがって、湿式化学アプローチを使用するリガンド交換工程によって金属ナノ粒子上に金属酸化物コーティングが形成されると、金属ナノ粒子の焼結温度の所望の上昇がもたらされ得る。
