The invention discloses a preparation method of sphere-like submicron silver
powder with a controllable particle size. The method comprises the following steps: 1, preparing a
silver nitrate solution, an
organic acid reducing agent solution and a dispersing agent solution; 2, preparing an
organic acid salt
reducing agent solution from a small amount of
organic acid reducing agent solution, uniformly mixing the organic
acid salt reducing agent solution with the
polyacrylamide solution to form a base solution, and adding a small amount of
silver nitrate solution to react to form nano-silver
crystal nucleuses; 3, adding
nitric acid and a dispersing agent solution, uniformly stirring, and then dropwise adding the residual organic acid reducing agent solution and the residual
silver nitrate solution for silver
crystal nucleus growth; and 4, washing and
drying after
solid-liquid separation. By controlling the adding mode of the reducing agent and the silver
nitrate and reducing the silver
nitrate in two steps, formation and growth of silver
crystal nucleuses are controlled, regulation and control of the particle size of the sphere-like submicron silver
powder are achieved, the sphere-like submicron silver narrow in
particle size distribution, regular in morphology and good in
dispersity is obtained, the preparation process is simple, green and
environmentally friendly, and the method is suitable for industrial production. The method is suitable for
heterojunction solar cells and high-end electronic devices.
