Printable conductors with high conductivity would be critical for low-cost printed electronics. In view of printability, conductivity, and electrical stability, metal such as gold or silver derived from solution-deposited precursor compositions would be an ideal candidate. Xerox has been exploring the use of silver nanoparticles as conductor precursor composition for printed electronics. This paper reviews our research in the development of alkylamine-stabilized silver nanoparticles that can be sintered at low temperature (∼ 120 °C) for high conductivity (>10000 S/cm). Silver nanoparticle ink formulations based on these silver nanoparticles exhibit surface-energy independent printability which enables the fabrication of high-performance top-contact transistor devices, and self-assembly characteristic when printed on hydrophilic substrates which allows for large-area, defect-free source drain arrays to be printed with a narrow and uniform channel length.

Printable conductors with high conductivity are critical for low-cost printed electronics. From the view of printability, conductivity, and electrical stability, an ideal candidate would be a metal such as gold or silver derived from solution-deposited precursor compositions.

Silver nanoparticles were immobilized on fibers to create composite materials. The composites are shown to be efficient heterogeneous catalyst with very good recyclability. These composite materials are also proven to be good SERS substrates.

This work reports a simple chemical reduction route for the preparation of uniformed Ag nanoparticles whereby a fine control over the sizes of the Ag nanoparticles was studied by varying the concentrations of the reducing agents used. In characterization, UV-Vis spectroscopy showed the changes in optical properties of the Ag nanoparticles with regards to their sizes, where as the XRD patterns of the synthesized Ag nanoparticles confirmed the distinct peaks approximately at 2θ = 38.1°, 44.3°, 64.4°, 77.4°, and 81.5 representing Bragg’s reflections from (111), (200), (220), (311), and (222) planes of the face centred cubic lattice phase. This route of synthesis is feasible to produce Ag nanoparticles with diameters in the range of 30-45 nm.
