Detailed Description
The embodiments described below with reference to the drawings are illustrative only and should not be construed as limiting the invention.
A method for preparing a porous metal film by an electroless plating process comprises the following steps:
(1) preparing a catalytic solution: preparing a mixed solution of first silane, second silane, ethanol, a water-based polymer solution and water, adding ammonia water to adjust the pH value to 9 in the stirring process, stirring at normal temperature for 1-30min, adjusting the pH value to 7 by using citric acid, adding a 1-200g/L catalyst ion solution, stirring for 1-30min, and adding isopropanol to obtain a catalytic solution;
(2) activating the substrate: uniformly coating the catalytic solution on the surface of a substrate, and drying at 60-150 ℃ for 1-30min to obtain an activated substrate;
(3) chemical plating: immersing the activated base material into a plating solution for plating, wherein the plating time is 15-60min, and the temperature is 60-90 ℃;
(4) and washing the plated base material with water and carrying out ultrasonic treatment to obtain the porous metal film.
In the step (1), the first silane is at least one of dimethyldimethoxysilane and methyldiethoxysilane.
The second silane in the step (1) is gamma- (2, 3-epoxypropoxy) propyl trimethoxy silane.
The mass fraction of the aqueous polymer solution in the step (1) is 1-10%.
In the step (1), the aqueous polymer solution is at least one of sodium carboxymethylcellulose, polyvinyl alcohol and polyvinylpyrrolidone aqueous solution.
In the step (1), the catalyst ions are at least one of palladium, gold, platinum and silver.
In the step (1), the mass ratio of the first silane to the second silane to the ethanol to the aqueous polymer solution to the water to the isopropanol to the catalyst ion solution is 1:0.1-5:2:10-150:0.1-100:10-1000: 0.5-50.
The surface of the base material in the step (2) contains active groups, wherein the active groups comprise hydroxyl, carboxyl, epoxy and sulfydryl.
The chemical plating in the step (3) is at least one of chemical copper plating, chemical nickel plating and chemical cobalt plating, and the thickness of the metal plating layer prepared by the chemical plating is 2-5 mu m.
In the step (4), the ultrasonic treatment is to gradually increase the temperature from 30 ℃ to 120 ℃ at a speed of 20 ℃/min and 150 ℃, and the ultrasonic medium is liquid paraffin.
The metal film is prepared by adopting the prepared catalytic solution to catalyze chemical plating reaction, and the separation of the base material and the metal film is realized by combining ultrasonic treatment.
(1) The aperture is controllable: silane in the catalytic solution is hydrolyzed into a hydrophilic phase (Si-Si long chain) which is incompatible with the hydrophilic phase (hydrophilic resin) in the catalytic solution in the film forming process, phase separation is carried out in the film forming process to form a granular structure, in addition, the boiling points of solvents (water, ethanol and isopropanol) in the catalytic solution are different, the volatilization speeds are different in the film forming process, the surface of the catalytic film is also formed into granules, the relative contents of the two phases and different solvents are reasonably controlled, and the regulation and control of the granule size can be realized.
In the chemical plating process, metal ions are deposited on the surface of the catalytic film under the action of catalytic particles on the surface of the catalytic film, and the catalytic solution contains epoxy groups (introduced by second silane), so that the catalytic solution has strong adhesive force with the surface of a substrate (rich in active groups); in addition, only silanol groups, hydroxyl groups and epoxy groups in the catalytic film can adsorb catalyst particles, and the coordination bonds of the groups and the catalyst particles are weaker, so that the adhesion between the plating layer and the catalytic film is weaker, the metal plating layer falls off along the interface of the catalytic layer/the metal film, namely a pore structure is formed on the inner surface of the metal plating layer, and the size of the pores can be adjusted by the size of particles formed on the surface of the catalytic film.
(2) The thickness is controllable: the thickness of the plating layer increases along with the increase of the chemical plating time, and the invention can prepare the porous metal film with no thickness by controlling the chemical plating time and the chemical plating parameters.
(3) Porous metal films of complex shape can be prepared: chemical plating belongs to an in-situ deposition process, a plating layer is deposited on the surface of a substrate as long as a catalytic film is formed on the surface of the substrate, and porous metal films in different shapes can be prepared by controlling the shape of the substrate.
