The invention discloses spherical silver
powder with a nanometer shell layer structure and a preparation method and application of the spherical silver
powder. The method comprises the following steps: simultaneously adding an oxidant solution accounting for 30-35% of the total
mass of the oxidant solution and a
reducing agent solution accounting for 30-35% of the total
mass of the
reducing agent solution into a dispersant solution to obtain a first reaction solution; simultaneously adding the residual
reducing agent solution and an oxidant solution which accounts for 20-65% of the total
mass of the oxidant solution into the first reaction solution to obtain a second reaction solution; adding the rest oxidant solution accounting for 5-45% of the total mass of the oxidant solution into the second reaction solution to obtain a third reaction solution; and the
coating agent solution is added into the third reaction solution, then stirring,
solid-liquid separation, cleaning and
drying are conducted, and the spherical silver
powder of the nanometer shell structure is obtained. According to the invention, the problems of difficult printing and agglomeration caused by high specific surface area of nano-
silver particles are greatly reduced; the method is simple to operate, low in cost and suitable for industrial production.
