The synthesis and characterization of polymer-stabilized silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) for water-based silver inks was studied. Polyacid with strong interaction with silver was introduced as a capping molecule and then formed transient complex with silver during reduction. Dissociation of transient complex at high temperature resulted in the spherical Ag NPs with average size of 40 nm. Above all, this method made ultra large-scale synthesis possible at high reaction yield. Furthermore, the bonding origins between silver and polyacid were characterized through X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. |
