The invention belongs to the field of nano technology and particularly relates to a method for preparing nano silver
conductive ink. The method comprises the following steps: dissolving a silver salt and an organic protective agent in a
solvent, adjusting the pH value of the solution to 9 to 10 with an alkaline complexing agent, and raising the temperature gradually to 30 to 100 DEG C till the
reaction system is a transparent solution; and cooling the
reaction system obtained by the previous step to
room temperature, adding a
reducer into the
reaction system, and continuously stirring the reaction
system for 20 to 30 minutes to obtain the nano silver
conductive ink. The
molar ratio of the organic protective agent to the silver salt is 0.01-3:1; each 0.01 mol of silver salt is dissolved in 5 to 50 milliliters of
solvent; and the
molar ratio of the
reducer to the silver salt is 1-3:1. The nano silver prepared by the method has the advantages that: the particle size is less than 10 nanometers; the process is simple, the
reaction conditions are mild and the reaction time is short; the raw materials are simple and the
dose of the dispersant is small; the purity and concentration are high; and the conductive property is good. In addition, the preparation cost of the nano
silver ink is low; no harmful waste is produced, so the requirements for '
green production' are met; and the nano
silver ink can be widely used in fields of touch screens,
electronic tags, thin film switches, flexible circuit boards, medical products, sensors, printing contact,
radio frequency interference screening,
electrolysis, multilayer circuit board hole filling and the like.
