The invention provides a method for preparing small-particle-size spherical silver
powder through in-situ
nucleation, and the method comprises the following steps: mixing a first dispersing agent solution with an alkaline substance to obtain a
nucleation inducer; mixing a second dispersing agent solution with the
nucleation inducer, then mixing with the first
oxidizing agent solution in a stirring state, and carrying out an in-situ reaction to obtain a nucleation solution; simultaneously adding a second oxidant solution and a
reducing agent solution into the nucleation solution, mixing and reacting to obtain a
mixed solution; and the
mixed solution is subjected to
solid-liquid separation, and the spherical silver
powder is obtained. According to the method, the preparation process is easy to operate and continuous,
crystal nucleuses can be formed in situ under the conditions of not additionally preparing and adding seed crystals and not introducing other dispersing agents, and the small-particle-size silver
powder is rapidly prepared. The prepared spherical silver powder has good
spherical morphology and uniform and concentrated
particle size distribution.
