Noble metal nanoparticles have special properties in optical, electronic, and physical chemistry due to their high surface area and volume. With the development of electronic printing technology, inkjet printing has gradually replaced traditional spin coating and blade coating, since it leads to more material savings and a faster batch production, and the pattern can be easily designed by a computer. In this study, Ag nanoparticles were prepared by a chemical reduction method. Non-toxic, environment-friendly agents were selected to fabricate a single-shape, uniform-size, crystal-form, and monodisperse product. The effects of the reducing agent ratio and the stabilizer ratio on the size, shape, and stability of the nanoparticles are discussed. The silver nanoparticles were characterized by an ultraviolet-visible spectrophotometer (UV-vis) and a transmission electron microscope (TEM). In addition, in order to prepare conductive ink that can stably disperse for a long time and that can be applied to inkjet printing on a PET flexible substrate at a lower sintering temperature, a sintering agent and a commercial surfactant were added. The experimental results show that the best addition ratio of the precursor to the reducing agent and the stabilizer is 1:6:1. The conductive silver ink was printed and treated by a70 mM NaCl solution, and the electric resistivity was 5.17×10−4 Ω· cm.

ABSTRACTFor the construction of highly conductive printed electrodes on a polymeric substrate with a low glass transition temperature, the development of a low temperature sinterable conductive ink has been a crucial issue in printed electronics and display applications. In this work, we introduce a novel type of self-sinterable silver ink, whose sintering is triggered at a low temperature and completed with the aid of its own exothermic reaction, and propose its exothermic reaction mechanism. Although individual components of this self-sinterable silver ink, Ag2O and silver carboxylate, exhibit endothermic behaviors, their mixture form shows a strong exothermic reaction when heated at 150 °C. It is found that the dissociated form of the used silver carboxylate contributes to the reduction of Ag2O to Ag through its recursive reaction and produces silver nanoparticles. The major source of an exothermic reaction results from the nucleation and fusion of silver nanoparticles.

Abstract The development of cellulose-based textiles that are functionalised with silver nanoparticles (AgNP), synthesised according to a green approach, and offer protection against ultraviolet (UV) radiation and pathogenic bacteria is very important today. In the present work we demonstrate the environmentally friendly approach to obtain such textile material by AgNP synthesis directly (in-situ) on cotton fabrics, using water extracts of plant food waste (green tea leaves, avocado seed and pomegranate peel) and alien invasive plants (Japanese knotweed rhizome, goldenrod flowers and staghorn sumac fruit) as reducing agents. The extracts were analysed for their total content of phenols and flavonoids and their antioxidant activity. The synthesised AgNP on cotton were round, of different size and amount depending on the reducing agent used. The highest amount of AgNP was found for samples where Japanese knotweed rhizome extract was used as reducing agent and the lowest where extracts of goldenrod flowers and green tea leaves were used. Regardless of the reducing agent used to form AgNP, all cotton samples showed excellent protection against E. coli and S. aureus bacteria and against UV radiation with UV protection factor values above 50. The best results for UV protection even after the twelve repetitive washing cycles were found for the sample functionalized with AgNP synthesised with an extract of the Japanese knotweed rhizome. Due to the presence of AgNP on cotton, the air permeability and thermal conductivity decreased. AgNP had no effect on the change in breaking strength or elongation of fabrics. Graphic abstract

Conductive Ink

In the scientific industry, sustainable nanotechnology has attracted great attention and has been successful in facilitating solutions to challenges presented in various fields. For the present work, silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) were prepared using a chemical reduction synthesis method. Then, a low-temperature sintering process was deployed to obtain an Ag-conductive ink preparation which could be applied to a flexible substrate. The size and shape of the AgNPs were characterized by ultraviolet–visible spectrophotometry (UV-Vis) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The experiments indicated that the size and agglomeration of the AgNPs could be well controlled by varying the reaction time, reaction temperature, and pH value. The rate of nanoparticle generation was the highest when the reaction temperature was 100 °C within the 40 min reaction time, achieving the most satisfactorily dispersed nanoparticles and nanoballs with an average size of 60.25 nm at a pH value of 8. Moreover, the electrical resistivity of the obtained Ag-conductive ink is controllable, under the optimal sintering temperature and time (85 °C for 5 min), leading to an optimal electrical resistivity of 9.9 × 10−6 Ω cm. The results obtained in this study, considering AgNPs and Ag-conductive ink, may also be extended to other metals in future research.

The synthesis of silver nanoparticles via plant-mediated approach is an emerging area of research interest worldwide. The procedure is cost-effective and does not require the use of toxic chemicals and complicated reaction conditions. In the present investigation, silver nanoparticles were prepared using the leaf extracts of Ixora coccinea Linn., a common ornamental shrub in the Philippines, as the reducing agent. The effect of pH on the synthesis was investigated, and results showed that the quality of the synthesized silver nanoparticles changes in varying pH of the reducing agent.
