MLCCs are typically composed of ceramic dielectric layers, inner electrodes, and outer (terminal) electrodes from a structural perspective. The external electrode is generally divided into three layers from inside to outside, namely a copper layer directly contacted with the internal electrode, a nickel layer used for resisting welding erosion and a tin layer convenient for welding. At present, the copper layer is basically in a form of being sintered after being coated with copper paste, and the nickel layer and the tin layer are in a form of being electroplated, but still have a plurality of problems: copper powder for preparing copper slurry is easily oxidized by air to lose conductivity, copper powder sintering activity is low, poor compactness caused by poor sintering is easy to occur, and poor binding force between a copper end and a plating layer affects the performance and service life of the MLCC.

the first metal powder is pure copper powder; the second metal powder is copper zinc powder, and the chemical formula of the copper zinc powder is Cu x Zn y Wherein: x is more than or equal to 1.25 and less than or equal to 1.53,0.03, y is more than or equal to 0.31;
the average particle size of the first metal powder is less than or equal to the average particle size of the second metal powder.
The average particle size of the invention is obtained by measuring by a laser particle size analyzer.
The inventor researches find that by adopting the copper zinc powder with the specific chemical formula, zinc with specific mass is introduced into copper and compounded with pure copper powder with specific mass, the sintering temperature of a copper layer of an MLCC terminal electrode can be effectively reduced, low-temperature sintering is facilitated, the prepared MLCC has better compactness, and the copper zinc powder can be corroded by an acid electroplating solution to obtain rugged holes, so that the bonding force between a plating layer and an electrode is increased.

And compared with the average particle size of the second metal powder, the composite copper powder prepared by compounding the first metal powder with the same or smaller average particle size is favorable for improving the sintering activity of copper slurry, and the first metal powder with larger average particle size and the first metal powder are compounded, so that more gaps exist among copper powder and zinc powder, the sintering activity of the composite copper powder is reduced, and the sintering temperature is required to be improved.
As a preferred embodiment of the composite copper powder according to the present invention, the crystal structure of the second metal powder is a face-centered cubic structure.

When the average particle size of the first metal powder is smaller, the sintering activity of the composite copper powder is reduced, and the sintering is not facilitated; when the average grain diameter of the first metal powder is larger, the binding force between the copper end and the coating is reduced due to the increase of pores among the powder, and meanwhile, the porosity is higher, and the compactness of the MLCC is poorer.

The test results are shown in table 3 below.
TABLE 3 Table 3
As can be seen from Table 3, the composite copper powders prepared in examples 1 to 8 of the present invention have good oxidation resistance, and the MLCC prepared by using the composite copper powder of the present invention has low porosity and high bonding strength. Wherein, the composite copper powder of the embodiment 2-2 has the best oxidation resistance, the copper end and the plating layer of the MLCC end electrode prepared by the composite copper powder of the embodiment 2-2 have the binding force of 3.5Kgf, and the porosity of the MLCC is only 4 percent, thus having better compactness.
As can be seen from comparative examples 2-2 and comparative example 1, when the average particle size of the first metal powder is higher than that of the second metal powder, the pores between the powder bodies of the composite copper powder are increased, and the prepared MLCC has higher porosity and poorer compactness.
As can be seen from comparison of examples 2-1 and comparative example 2, the copper zinc powder prepared by incorporating zinc powder of a specific quality into copper powder can provide MLCC with better compactability and plating layer bonding performance. While the composite copper powder of the comparative example 2-1 has higher oxidation resistance when the doping amount of zinc is more, the porosity of the MLCC is greatly increased and the compactness is worse due to more corrosion of the plating solution to zinc, and the combination property of the plating layer of the MLCC terminal electrode is not obviously improved; when the zinc doping amount is small, the oxidation resistance of the composite copper powder of the comparative example 2-2 is poor, the preservation and sintering of the composite copper powder are not facilitated, the compactness of the MLCC is reduced, and the improvement of the bonding performance of the electroplated layer of the MLCC terminal electrode is not obvious.
As can be seen from the comparison of example 1 and comparative example 3, when the amount of the second metal powder is small, the composite copper powder of comparative example 3-1 has poor oxidation resistance and has no remarkable effect on improving the bonding properties of the plating layer and copper terminal with the external electrode; when the content of copper zinc powder is higher, the composite copper powder of the comparative examples 3-2 and 3-3 has higher oxidation resistance, but the porosity of the MLCC is higher due to the obvious corrosion effect of the plating solution on zinc, and the plating layer bonding performance of the MLCC terminal electrode is also reduced.
As can be seen from the comparison of examples 2-2 and comparative examples 4-5, when the average particle size of the first metal powder is smaller, the sintering activity of the composite copper powder prepared in comparative example 4 is reduced, which is unfavorable for sintering, and the oxidation resistance of the composite copper powder is reduced, so that the porosity of the prepared MLCC is higher and the bonding performance of the electroplated layer of the terminal electrode is reduced; when the average particle diameter of the first metal powder is larger, the composite copper powder of comparative example 5 not only can reduce the bonding performance of the electroplated layer of the MLCC terminal electrode, but also can lead to higher porosity and poorer compactness of the MLCC.
As can be seen from comparative examples 2-2 and 6, the copper zinc powder with the face-centered cubic structure, which is prepared by adopting the method disclosed by the invention, can not only enhance the oxidation resistance of the composite copper powder, but also improve the binding force between the copper end and the coating when the composite copper powder is used for preparing the MLCC end electrode and reduce the porosity of the MLCC.
Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only for illustrating the technical solution of the present invention and not for limiting the scope of the present invention, and although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the preferred embodiments, it should be understood by those skilled in the art that the technical solution of the present invention may be modified or substituted equally without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solution of the present invention.
