This invention provides a one-dimensional silver
nanostructure /
metal hydroxide composite material, its preparation method, and its application. The preparation method includes: adding a one-dimensional silver
nanostructure, a
metal salt, and an additive to a
solvent and stirring to disperse them evenly; adding an acidic or alkaline
reagent under stirring conditions to adjust the pH of the solution, causing the
metal ions in the solution to convert into
metal hydroxide precipitates, obtaining a one-dimensional silver
nanostructure-
metal hydroxide suspension; then performing
solid-liquid separation, washing and
drying the obtained
solid product to obtain a one-dimensional silver nanostructure /
metal hydroxide composite
powder; wherein the metal
hydroxide is aluminum
hydroxide,
zinc hydroxide,
magnesium hydroxide, iron hydroxide,
manganese hydroxide,
copper hydroxide,
nickel hydroxide, or
cobalt hydroxide, and the one-dimensional silver nanostructure is silver
nanowire or silver nanoribbon. The resulting
composite material uses metal hydroxide as a carrier and separator, inhibiting the
drying and agglomeration of
silver nanowires from the source, exhibiting
high conductivity and good redispersibility, thus improving
conductivity.
