Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The present invention provides silver nano-particles that are excellent in stability and develop excellent conductivity by low-temperature calcining, a method for producing the silver nano-particles, and a silver coating composition comprising the silver nano-particles. A method for producing silver nano-particles comprising: mixing a silver compound with an aliphatic amine comprising at least a branched aliphatic hydrocarbon monoamine (D) comprising a branched aliphatic hydrocarbon group and one amino group, said branched aliphatic hydrocarbon group having 4 or more carbon atoms, to form a complex compound comprising the silver compound and the amine; and thermally decomposing the complex compound by heating to form silver nano-particles.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A method for producing silver nano-particles comprising: mixing a silver compound with an aliphatic amine component comprising at least a linear aliphatic hydrocarbon monoamine (A) comprising a linear aliphatic hydrocarbon group and one amino group, said aliphatic hydrocarbon group having 6 or more carbon atoms in total and a branched aliphatic hydrocarbon monoamine (D) comprising a branched aliphatic hydrocarbon group and one amino group, said branched aliphatic hydrocarbon group having 4 or more carbon atoms, to form a complex compound comprising the silver compound and the amines; and thermally decomposing the complex compound by heating to form silver nano-particles. 2. The method for producing silver nano-particles according to claim 1 , wherein the silver compound is silver oxalate. 3. The method for producing silver nano-particles according to claim 1 , wherein the branched aliphatic hydrocarbon group in the branched aliphatic hydrocarbon monoamine (D) has 4 to 16 carbon atoms. 4. The method for producing silver nano-particles according to claim 1 , wherein the aliphatic amine further comprises at least one of: a linear aliphatic hydrocarbon monoamine (B) comprising a linear aliphatic hydrocarbon group and one amino group, said aliphatic hydrocarbon group having 5 or less carbon atoms in total; and an aliphatic hydrocarbon diamine (C) comprising an aliphatic hydrocarbon group and two amino groups, said aliphatic hydrocarbon group having 8 or less carbon atoms in total. 5. The method for producing silver nano-particles according to claim 4 , wherein the aliphatic hydrocarbon monoamine (B) is an alkylmonoamine having 2 or more and 5 or less carbon atoms. 6. The method for producing silver nano-particles according to claim 4 , wherein the aliphatic hydrocarbon monoamine (B) is a butylamine. 7. The method for producing silver nano-particles according to claim 1 , wherein the aliphatic hydrocarbon monoamine (A) is an alkylmonoamine having 6 or more and 12 or less carbon atoms. 8. The method for producing silver nano-particles according to claim 1 , wherein the branched aliphatic hydrocarbon monoamine (D) is contained in an amount of 10 mol % to 50 mol % of a total of the aliphatic amine. 9. The method for producing silver nano-particles according to claim 1 , wherein the aliphatic amine is used in a total amount of 1 to 50 moles per 1 mole of silver atoms in the silver compound. 10. Silver nano-particles produced by the method according to claim 1 . 11. A silver coating composition comprising silver nano-particles produced by the method according to claim 1 , and an organic solvent. 12. A silver conductive material comprising: a substrate, and a silver conductive layer obtained by applying, onto the substrate, a silver coating composition comprising silver nano-particles produced by the method according to claim 1 and an organic solvent, and calcining the silver coating composition.
