Description

本発明は、ニッケル被覆誘電体粒子の製造方法に関し、詳しくは、高温における焼成に際して収縮開始温度が高く、従って、例えば、積層セラミックコンデンサの内部電極に好適に用いることができるニッケル被覆誘電体粒子の製造方法に関する。   The present invention relates to a method for producing nickel-coated dielectric particles. More specifically, the present invention relates to a method for producing nickel-coated dielectric particles, which has a high shrinkage start temperature upon firing at a high temperature, and can be suitably used, for example, as an internal electrode of a multilayer ceramic capacitor. It relates to a manufacturing method.

ニッケル微粒子は、例えば、積層セラミックコンデンサの内部電極、ニッケル水素二次電池の多孔性電極、燃料電池の中空多孔質電極をはじめ、種々の電極を形成するための材料として注目されている。   Nickel fine particles are attracting attention as materials for forming various electrodes including, for example, internal electrodes of multilayer ceramic capacitors, porous electrodes of nickel metal hydride secondary batteries, and hollow porous electrodes of fuel cells.

従来、積層セラミックコンデンサは、誘電体グリーンシート上にパラジウム、白金等のような内部電極のための貴金属粉末とエチルセルロースのような有機バインダーとターピネオールのような有機溶媒を混練してなる導電ペーストを印刷し、乾燥して、上記誘電体グリーンシート上に内部電極層の前駆体を形成し、これと上記誘電体グリーンシートが交互に重なるように積層し、熱圧着し、次いで、このようにして得られた積層体を所定の寸法に裁断した後、250〜400℃程度に加熱して、上記有機バインダーを燃焼させて除去する脱バインダー処理し、この後、積層体を約1300℃の温度まで加熱し、焼成して、内部電極層とセラミック誘電体とを焼結させ、この後、銀等の外部電極を形成して、製造される。上記誘電体グリーンシートは、例えば、チタン酸バリウム等のセラミック誘電体粉末とポリビニルブチラールやエチルセルロースのような有機バインダーからなる。   Conventionally, multilayer ceramic capacitors are printed with a conductive paste made by kneading a noble metal powder for internal electrodes such as palladium and platinum, an organic binder such as ethyl cellulose, and an organic solvent such as terpineol on a dielectric green sheet. And drying to form a precursor of the internal electrode layer on the dielectric green sheet, laminating the dielectric green sheet and the dielectric green sheet alternately, thermocompression bonding, and then obtaining in this way The resulting laminate is cut to a predetermined size, heated to about 250 to 400 ° C. to remove the organic binder by burning, and then the laminate is heated to a temperature of about 1300 ° C. Then, firing is performed to sinter the internal electrode layer and the ceramic dielectric, and thereafter, an external electrode made of silver or the like is formed and manufactured. The dielectric green sheet is made of, for example, a ceramic dielectric powder such as barium titanate and an organic binder such as polyvinyl butyral or ethyl cellulose.

このような積層セラミックコンデンサは、最近の電子部品の高性能化に伴って、小型化と高容量化が進んでおり、そのために、セラミック誘電体と内部電極の薄膜化と多層化が一層求められている。他方、コストへの配慮から、電極のための材料は、従来のパラジウム、白金等の貴金属から、より低廉なニッケル等の卑金属が多く用いられるようになってきている。   Such multilayer ceramic capacitors have been increasingly miniaturized and increased in capacity with the recent increase in performance of electronic components. For this reason, the ceramic dielectric and internal electrodes are required to be made thinner and multilayered. ing. On the other hand, in consideration of cost, the base material such as nickel, which is cheaper, is often used as the material for the electrode from the conventional noble metals such as palladium and platinum.

しかし、ニッケル微粒子を含め、一般に、金属からなる内部電極材料は、セラミック誘電体よりも焼結開始温度が低く、しかも、熱収縮が大きい。従って、セラミック誘電体と内部電極とは熱収縮の程度が異なるので、積層セラミックコンデンサの製造において、上述したように、導電性ペーストを印刷したセラミック誘電体グリーンシートを積層し、これを焼成する際に、その間に剥離やクラック等の構造欠陥が発生しやすいという問題がある。このような構造欠陥は、特に、近年の積層セラミックコンデンサの小型化と高容量化と共に顕著に発生する傾向がある。   However, generally, internal electrode materials made of metal, including nickel fine particles, have a lower sintering start temperature and a larger thermal shrinkage than ceramic dielectrics. Therefore, since the degree of thermal shrinkage differs between the ceramic dielectric and the internal electrode, when manufacturing the multilayer ceramic capacitor, as described above, when the ceramic dielectric green sheet printed with the conductive paste is laminated and fired. In addition, there is a problem that structural defects such as peeling and cracking are likely to occur during this period. Such a structural defect tends to be particularly prominent with the recent reduction in size and capacity of multilayer ceramic capacitors.

このような問題に対処するために、一般に、導電ペーストに誘電体グリーンシートにおける誘電体と同じ誘電体の微粒子を配合して、導電ペーストの熱収縮挙動を誘電体グリーンシートのそれに近付けることができることが知られている(特許文献1参照)。しかしながら、近年のニッケル粒子の微粒子化に伴い、誘電体層と内部電極層の収縮特性の差異は大きくなる傾向にある。   In order to cope with such a problem, generally, the conductive paste can be blended with the same fine particles of dielectric as the dielectric in the dielectric green sheet so that the thermal shrinkage behavior of the conductive paste can be brought close to that of the dielectric green sheet. Is known (see Patent Document 1). However, the difference in shrinkage characteristics between the dielectric layer and the internal electrode layer tends to increase as the nickel particles become finer in recent years.

そこで、積層セラミックコンデンサの更なる薄層化を実現するには、内部電極に用いるニッケル微粒子として、高温での焼成において、焼結挙動をセラミック誘電体に近づけて、急激な収縮が始まる温度(以下、単に収縮開始温度という。)の高いものが強く求められている。   Therefore, in order to realize further thinning of the multilayer ceramic capacitor, as the nickel fine particles used for the internal electrode, when firing at a high temperature, the sintering behavior is brought close to the ceramic dielectric, and the temperature at which rapid shrinkage begins (hereinafter referred to as “the fine ceramic particles”). There is a strong demand for a material having a high shrinkage start temperature).

このような要望に応えるために、例えば、ニッケル粒子の表面に酸化チタンやチタン酸バリウム等の酸化物被覆を施して、ニッケル粒子の収縮開始温度を高めることが提案されているが、未だ、その効果は十分とはいい難い(特許文献2参照)。   In order to meet such a demand, for example, it has been proposed to increase the shrinkage start temperature of nickel particles by applying an oxide coating such as titanium oxide or barium titanate on the surface of nickel particles. It is difficult to say that the effect is sufficient (see Patent Document 2).

そこで、所謂ポリオール法を用いて、還元剤と反応溶媒を兼ねるエチレングリコールに所定の一次粒子径を有するチタン酸バリウム粒子と共に水酸化ニッケルを懸濁させた懸濁液中において、金属ニッケルを析出させることによって、母相としてのニッケル粒子内に複数のチタン酸バリウム粒子を含有していると共に、一部のチタン酸バリウム粒子が上記ニッケル粒子から突出している構造を有するニッケル粒子が提案されているが、依然として、収縮開始温度を十分に高めることは困難である(特許文献3参照)。   Therefore, by using a so-called polyol method, nickel metal is precipitated in a suspension in which nickel hydroxide is suspended together with barium titanate particles having a predetermined primary particle size in ethylene glycol which also serves as a reducing agent and a reaction solvent. Thus, nickel particles having a structure in which a plurality of barium titanate particles are contained in the nickel particles as a parent phase and some of the barium titanate particles protrude from the nickel particles have been proposed. Still, it is difficult to sufficiently increase the shrinkage start temperature (see Patent Document 3).

本発明によるニッケル被覆誘体粒子の製造方法は、表面に貴金属又はその塩を担持させた誘電体粒子とニッケル化合物を含むポリオール中において、上記ニッケル化合物を上記誘電体粒子の表面上でニッケルに還元して析出させることを特徴とする。 Method for producing a nickel coating Yuden particles according to the present invention is a noble metal or dielectric particles and a polyol containing a nickel compound is supported a salt thereof to the surface, the nickel compound to nickel on the surface of the dielectric particles It is characterized by being reduced and precipitated.

本発明において、誘電体としては、ペロブスカイト構造を有する複合酸化物が好ましく、そのような誘電体として、例えば、チタン酸バリウム(BaTiO3)、チタン酸ストロンチウム(SrTiO3)、チタン酸ジルコン酸鉛(Pb(Zr,Ti)O3)、ジルコン酸カルシウム(CaZrO3)、チタン酸カルシウム(CaTiO3)、ジルコン酸バリウム(BaZrO3)、チタン酸ジルコン酸バリウムカルシウム(Ba,Ca)(Ti,Zr)O3等を挙げることができる。これらのなかで、チタン酸バリウムは、本発明において、誘電体として好ましく用いることができる1つである。 In the present invention, the dielectric is preferably a composite oxide having a perovskite structure. Examples of such a dielectric include barium titanate (BaTiO 3 ), strontium titanate (SrTiO 3 ), and lead zirconate titanate ( Pb (Zr, Ti) O 3 ), calcium zirconate (CaZrO 3 ), calcium titanate (CaTiO 3 ), barium zirconate (BaZrO 3 ), barium calcium zirconate titanate (Ba, Ca) (Ti, Zr) O 3 etc. can be mentioned. Among these, barium titanate is one that can be preferably used as a dielectric in the present invention.

上記誘電体粒子は、その平均粒子径が0.01〜1.0μmの範囲内にあり、特に、0.03〜0.2μmの範囲にあることが好ましい。誘電体粒子の平均粒子径が0.01μmよりも小さいときは、その凝集性が強いために誘電体粒子に均一なニッケル被覆を施すことが困難となるおそれがある。   The dielectric particles have an average particle diameter in the range of 0.01 to 1.0 μm, and particularly preferably in the range of 0.03 to 0.2 μm. When the average particle diameter of the dielectric particles is smaller than 0.01 μm, it is difficult to apply a uniform nickel coating on the dielectric particles because of its strong cohesiveness.

一方、誘電体粒子の平均粒子径が1μmよりも大きいときは、このような誘電体粒子にニッケル被覆を施してなる粒子を用いて積層セラミックコンデンサの内部電極を形成したときに、その表面平滑性が損なわれて、セラミック層との密着性が損なわれるおそれがある。   On the other hand, when the average particle diameter of the dielectric particles is larger than 1 μm, the surface smoothness of the multilayer ceramic capacitor when the internal electrodes of the multilayer ceramic capacitor are formed using particles obtained by coating the dielectric particles with nickel. May be impaired, and the adhesiveness with the ceramic layer may be impaired.

本発明によれば、このように、誘電体粒子の表面に貴金属又はその塩を担持させてなる一種の複合体(以下、貴金属(塩)担持誘電体粒子ということがある。)を調製し、これとニッケル化合物を含むポリオール中において、ポリオールを還元剤とする所謂ポリオール法にて上記ニッケル化合物を上記誘電体粒子の表面上でニッケルに還元して析出させ、かくして、ニッケル被覆誘体粒子を得る。 According to the present invention, in this way, a kind of composite (hereinafter sometimes referred to as noble metal (salt) -supported dielectric particles) in which a surface of dielectric particles is supported with a noble metal or a salt thereof is prepared. in the polyol containing the same and a nickel compound, a polyol of the above nickel compounds are precipitated by reducing the nickel on the surface of the dielectric particles at a so-called polyol method in which a reducing agent, thus, the nickel-coated Yuden particles obtain.

This is a method for obtaining fine particles.

In the present invention, at least one selected from these is preferably used. Among these, ethylene glycol is a liquid substance at room temperature having a relatively low boiling point, and therefore is easy to handle and is preferably used.

本発明によれば、上記貴金属(塩)担持誘電体粒子における貴金属又はその塩は、誘電体粒子表面上でニッケル化合物を還元し、析出させるための触媒であり、従来、ニッケル化合物のニッケル金属への還元に用いられている貴金属触媒又は貴金属塩触媒であれば、いずれでも用いることができる。   According to the present invention, the noble metal or the salt thereof in the noble metal (salt) -supported dielectric particle is a catalyst for reducing and precipitating the nickel compound on the surface of the dielectric particle. Any noble metal catalyst or noble metal salt catalyst used in the reduction can be used.

In view of relatively high safety, hydrazine monohydrate, which is a kind of hydrazine hydrate, is preferably used. Such a reducing agent is usually used in an equivalent ratio with respect to the above-mentioned noble metal salt, preferably palladium salt.

Perhaps the result is a strong interaction between the dielectric particles and the noble metal salt, but the noble metal salt on the dielectric particles is hardly removed from the surface. Similarly, even if the noble metal salt adhered and supported on the dielectric particles is reduced to the noble metal with a reducing agent in the suspension, and the dielectric particles are washed with water, the noble metal on the dielectric particles is not removed from the surface. Almost no removal.

かくして、本発明によれば、誘電体粒子上にこのようにして付着担持された貴金属又はその塩を核として、ニッケル化合物が還元されるので、誘電体粒子表面には効果的にニッケル被覆が形成され、その結果として、本発明によるニッケル被覆誘電体粒子は、熱収縮温度が大幅に高温側に移動するものとみられる。   Thus, according to the present invention, the nickel compound is reduced using the noble metal or salt thereof deposited and supported on the dielectric particles in this manner as a nucleus, so that a nickel coating is effectively formed on the surface of the dielectric particles. As a result, the nickel-coated dielectric particles according to the present invention are considered to have a heat shrinkage temperature that moves significantly to the high temperature side.

上記貴金属(塩)担持誘電体粒子の調製において用いる上記水溶性の貴金属塩は、後述するように、得られる貴金属(塩)担持誘電体粒子の表面でニッケル化合物を還元し、ニッケルを析出させて、誘電体粒子の表面に所要量のニッケル被覆を形成させることできれば、特に、その使用量は制限されるものではないが、貴金属換算にて、通常、誘電体粒子100重量部当りに0.001〜0.1重量部程度であり、好ましくは、0.002〜0.05重量部程度である。
As described later, the water-soluble noble metal salt used in the preparation of the noble metal (salt) -carrying dielectric particles is obtained by reducing the nickel compound on the surface of the obtained noble metal (salt) -carrying dielectric particles and depositing nickel. if it is possible to form the required amount of nickel coating on the surface of the dielectric particles, in particular, the amount used but are not limited, 0 in precious metal conversion, usually, in the dielectric particles per 100 parts by weight. The amount is about 001 to 0.1 parts by weight, and preferably about 0.002 to 0.05 parts by weight.

上記ニッケル化合物は、特に、限定されることはなく、例えば、水酸化ニッケル、炭酸ニッケル、硫酸ニッケル、硝酸ニッケル、塩化ニッケル、臭化ニッケル、酢酸ニッケル等を挙げることができるが、これらのなかでは、例えば、水酸化ニッケルが好ましく用いられる。これらのニッケル化合物は、後述するように、得られるニッケル被覆誘電体粒子における誘電体粒子の割合が5〜20重量%の範囲となるように用いられる。   The nickel compound is not particularly limited, and examples thereof include nickel hydroxide, nickel carbonate, nickel sulfate, nickel nitrate, nickel chloride, nickel bromide, nickel acetate, and the like. For example, nickel hydroxide is preferably used. As described later, these nickel compounds are used so that the ratio of the dielectric particles in the obtained nickel-coated dielectric particles is in the range of 5 to 20% by weight.

本発明において、ポリオール中、ニッケル化合物を還元し、貴金属(塩)担持誘電体粒子の表面にニッケルを析出させるに際して、好ましくは、ポリオール中に貴金属(塩)担持誘電体粒子とニッケル化合物と共に分散剤を存在させることが好ましい。この分散剤としては、有機ポリマーからなるものが好ましく、例えば、ポリビニルピロリドン、ポリエチレンイミン、ポリアクリルアミド、ポリ(2−メチル−2−オキサゾリン)、ポリビニルアルコール等を挙げることができる。例えば、ポリビニルピロリドンは、好ましく用いることができる分散剤の1つである。   In the present invention, when the nickel compound is reduced in the polyol and nickel is deposited on the surface of the noble metal (salt) -carrying dielectric particles, it is preferable that the dispersing agent together with the noble metal (salt) -carrying dielectric particles and the nickel compound in the polyol. Is preferably present. As this dispersing agent, what consists of organic polymers is preferable, For example, polyvinylpyrrolidone, polyethyleneimine, polyacrylamide, poly (2-methyl-2-oxazoline), polyvinyl alcohol, etc. can be mentioned. For example, polyvinylpyrrolidone is one of the dispersants that can be preferably used.

本発明において、前記ポリオールは、還元剤を兼ねる溶媒として用いられる。従って、その使用量は、上記ニッケル化合物の還元剤として足りる量であればよいが、好ましくは、通常、溶媒としての観点から、貴金属(塩)担持誘電体粒子とニッケル化合物と分散剤とポリオールの合計量の50重量%以上を占める割合にて用いられる。   In the present invention, the polyol is used as a solvent that also serves as a reducing agent. Therefore, the amount used may be an amount sufficient as a reducing agent for the nickel compound, but preferably, from the viewpoint of a solvent, the noble metal (salt) -carrying dielectric particles, the nickel compound, the dispersant, and the polyol are usually used. It is used in a ratio that accounts for 50% by weight or more of the total amount.

上記貴金属(塩)担持誘電体粒子とニッケル化合物と分散剤を含むポリオールを加熱することによって、このポリオールを還元剤として上記ニッケル化合物を効率よく上記誘電体粒子の表面上で還元し、ニッケルを析出させることができる。上記加熱温度、即ち、反応温度は、通常、150〜210℃の範囲であり、好ましくは、160〜200℃の範囲であり、特に、180〜200℃の範囲である。反応温度が150℃よりも低いときは、還元反応が遅すぎて、工業的実用性に乏しい。しかし、反応温度が210℃よりも高いときは、望ましくない副反応が起こるようになるため好ましくない。   By heating the noble metal (salt) -carrying dielectric particles, a polyol containing a nickel compound and a dispersant, the nickel compound is efficiently reduced on the surface of the dielectric particles by using the polyol as a reducing agent, and nickel is deposited. Can be made. The heating temperature, that is, the reaction temperature is usually in the range of 150 to 210 ° C, preferably in the range of 160 to 200 ° C, and particularly in the range of 180 to 200 ° C. When the reaction temperature is lower than 150 ° C., the reduction reaction is too slow and the industrial practicality is poor. However, when the reaction temperature is higher than 210 ° C., an undesirable side reaction occurs, which is not preferable.

上記貴金属(塩)担持誘電体粒子とニッケル化合物を含むポリオールを加熱する時間、即ち、反応時間は、用いるポリオールや金属ニッケルの種類、反応温度等によるので、一概に定めることはできないが、通常、1〜10時間の範囲であり、好ましくは、3〜8時間の範囲である。   The time for heating the polyol containing the noble metal (salt) -carrying dielectric particles and the nickel compound, that is, the reaction time depends on the kind of polyol and metal nickel used, the reaction temperature, etc. The range is 1 to 10 hours, preferably 3 to 8 hours.

このようにして、ポリオール中、貴金属(塩)担持誘電体粒子の表面にニッケルを析出させた後、得られた懸濁液を室温まで降温させ、得られたニッケル被覆誘電体粒子を固液分離し、温水とエタノールでこの順序で洗浄し、例えば、110℃で乾燥すれば、本発明によるニッケル被覆誘電体粒子を得ることができる。   In this way, after depositing nickel on the surface of the noble metal (salt) -carrying dielectric particles in the polyol, the resulting suspension is cooled to room temperature, and the resulting nickel-coated dielectric particles are solid-liquid separated. The nickel-coated dielectric particles according to the present invention can be obtained by washing with warm water and ethanol in this order and drying at 110 ° C., for example.

本発明においては、このようにして得られるニッケル被覆誘電体粒子において、誘電体粒子の割合は、通常、5〜20重量%の範囲である。ニッケル被覆誘電体粒子において、誘電体粒子の割合が5重量%よりも少ないときは、このようなニッケル被覆誘電体粒子を用いて、積層セラミックコンデンサの内部電極を形成すれば、収縮遅延効果が低いために、得られる積層セラミックコンデンサに層間剥離やクラック等の構造欠陥が生じるおそれがある。一方、ニッケル被覆誘電体粒子において、誘電体粒子の割合が20重量%よりも多いときは、このようなニッケル被覆誘電体粒子を用いて積層セラミックコンデンサの内部電極を形成すれば、電極層の電気抵抗が大きくなって、積層セラミックコンデンサとしての品質のばらつきが大きくなるおそれがある。   In the present invention, in the nickel-coated dielectric particles thus obtained, the ratio of the dielectric particles is usually in the range of 5 to 20% by weight. In the nickel-coated dielectric particles, when the proportion of the dielectric particles is less than 5% by weight, if the internal electrode of the multilayer ceramic capacitor is formed using such nickel-coated dielectric particles, the shrinkage delay effect is low. Therefore, structural defects such as delamination and cracks may occur in the obtained multilayer ceramic capacitor. On the other hand, in the nickel-coated dielectric particles, when the ratio of the dielectric particles is more than 20% by weight, the internal electrode of the multilayer ceramic capacitor can be formed using such nickel-coated dielectric particles. As the resistance increases, there is a risk that variations in quality as a multilayer ceramic capacitor will increase.

実施例1によるニッケル被覆チタン酸バリウム粒子の収縮特性と上記比較例2による粒子の収縮特性を比較すれば明らかなように、本発明によるニッケル被覆チタン酸バリウム粒子は高温での焼成において、収縮開始温度が大幅に高温側に移動しており、セラミック誘電体の焼結挙動に近い。   As is clear from the comparison between the shrinkage characteristics of the nickel-coated barium titanate particles according to Example 1 and the shrinkage characteristics of the particles according to Comparative Example 2, the nickel-coated barium titanate particles according to the present invention start shrinkage when fired at a high temperature. The temperature has moved significantly to the high temperature side, which is close to the sintering behavior of a ceramic dielectric.
